The Vlad-less Jays embark on a peculiarly short 3-game west coast trip against the A's. Will our bombs-away offense adjust to playing in the cavernous Oakland Coliseum? Why are there only 3 infielders on the A's active roster? Will Socrates Brito get his first hit of the season? Can the Jays win their second series in a row? Tune in to find out.

Game 1 - Fri 10:07: Stroman (0-3, 1.99 ERA) vs Brooks (2-1, 4.24 ERA)
Game 2 - Sat 4:07: Shoemaker (3-0, 1.75 ERA) vs Fiers (2-1, 7.06 ERA)
Game 3 - Sun 4:07: Sanchez (2-1, 2.86 ERA) vs Anderson (3-0, 2.63 ERA)

We get to see this guy (and his .569 OPS)!

Eric Sogard (L) 2B
Freddy Galvis (S) SS
Randal Grichuk (R) DH
Justin Smoak (S) 1B
Teoscar Hernandez (R) LF
Billy McKinney (L) RF
Brandon Drury (R) 3B
Socrates Brito (L) CF
Danny Jansen (R) C

edit: lineup change, brito cf/grichuk dh

Brito got a hit!

4/19/2019 11:39pm: I witnessed a Socrates Brito hit.

They're losing but the kelly green jerseys are quality. Stadium might spontaneously combust at any time, but they look solid.

thats it, build around brito and sogard

Hard to believe Drury has zero RBI.

Good to see Teoscar’s walks and strike outs trending in the right direction to start this year.

He has the upside of above average player if he can improve his defence.

Shoemaker hurts his knee in a tag run down.. a rundown that should have been completed before he got involved imo. Poor Shoemaker.. tough break for him and the Jays... hopefully not serious.

Drury showing something approximating signs of life: he's 5 for his last 16 with 2 HRs and a double, and only 4 strikeouts! That's semi-competent.

Sogard's BABIP luck making our roster situation a little harder to resolve. Gotta hate when you call someone up to be a sacrificial lamb and they end up having 50%+ of their balls in play go for hits.

How have we put up five run innings four times already this year? We really are all or nothing I guess.

Tellez certainly bringing the power this year. Would like to see those K numbers come down, though.

We're actually hitting reasonably well over the past couple weeks. More than 5 runs/game from the Boston series on, with peripherals that are more league-average than absolutely pathetic.

May well be a .500 team by the time Vlad gets called up

Bats have shown up

Geez I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here

Drury continues to do things...

Man, Shoemaker has the worst luck.

Wow, Galvis going all David Wright. That was crazy.

Wow that catch by galvis was one of the most ridiculous I've ever seen, truth.
