Game #46 GameThread: Orioles @ Jays

Game two of our weekend series with the Orioles. It can’t go much worse than game one.

Alek Manoah gets another chance to right the ship on his season. The Jays have little choice but to send him out there. The only other choice would be to go with a bullpen day every fifth day. Mitch White is out with a sore shoulder (or whatever term they are using for sore shoulder), and no other starter for the Bisons is exactly pushing for a job.

And there is a shuffle in the lineup. Bell moves into the cleanup spot, and Varsho moves back to the 7th spot. A shakeup is a good dida. I remember, years ago, managers would pull the lineup out of a hat when the team had been struggling. I’m not suggesting they do that, but a change isn’t bad.
