Jay Happ vs Josh Tomlin

Both the Jays and Racist Name and Logo team have identical 8-5 records as I write this.

hopefully stroman has a good game.

I think BlackWatch and others pretty much owned everyone who thought the Indians name was racist lol

Anyways will be nice to see the Jays win this series - CLE with that pitching is always tough!

Going to be tough with the pitching matchups. 2 out of 3 would be nice. I could see us winning 1 out of 3 however. We'll see.

Clevinger is gonna shut us out isnt he?

Give that DH spot to Donaldson. Solarte has been really good.

Donaldson goes to DL, Teoscar Hernandez will be called up.. by mlb.com

Oh crap.

Hopefully Hernandez impresses and they keep him up once Josh returns.

1. Curtis Granderson (L) DH
2. Teoscar Hernandez (R) LF
3. Justin Smoak (S) 1B
4. Yangervis Solarte (S) 3B
5. Russell Martin (R) C
6. Kevin Pillar (R) CF
7. Aledmys Diaz (R) SS
8. Randal Grichuk (R) RF
9. Devon Travis (R) 2B

No Donaldson. Not good.

Donaldson's right shoulder problem become very suspicious as if something was/is hidden. He had been DHing during the spring training, and then the terrible throws that we saw in the opening game. They called it a dead-arm. Now, it is a right shoulder Inflammation.

Teoscar's k issues are still there. He was striking out too much after the trade, in spring training this year, and in the few games in AAA so far. His power looks legit though. Maybe there is a middle ground there somewhere.

Good. He hasn't been himself in the field or even at the plate. Better to rest totally and try to heal up ASAP.

His hitting was pretty damned solid still, but he should have opened the year on the DL. If a non-pitcher comes into Spring Training and their arm feels like string cheese, and it still feels like string cheese when the season begins, there is a real issue there.

Also, Teoscar and Grichuk meeting for the first time:

Ah man not grichuk... Oh well lets hope he isnt useless tonight

more like Spiderman (Teoscar) meeting Antman (Grichuk) for the first time.

Hopefully his 10 day DL doesnt turn into more than that. Bluejays are always sneaky with these injuries

Stro just doesn’t have the same late downward movement on his pitches that made him a double play machine

Travis is the worst 2B in MLB and an overrated hitter.
