Jays @ Rays - Aug 5 - 7 - Bad Meets Good

Post #121 » by **Schad** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 7:50 pm

We'll be far more watchable, but I'd expect our record to be quite bad because of our schedule. After today, we play:

Bal x10
TB x10
NYY x10
Bos x3
Tex x3
Sea x6
LAD x3
Atl x4
Hou x3

13 games against bad teams; 3 against ~.500 teams; 33 against very good teams.

Bichette 3-5 with a 2B and HR, in the leadoff spot.

Biggio in the 2-hole goes 1-3 with 2BB.

Couple years ago she got reassigned there or something. There were rumours she was sleeping with members of the Jays and their spouses weren’t happy about it.

Isn't that what happened with Hazel Mae back in the day too?

I’m not sure. I think I remember there were similar rumours when she was in Boston.

IIRC, the only source for that rumour was the rather-dubious Dean Blundell, so I wouldn't place a lot of stock in it.

Ever since Jackie got her boobs done MLB players have been wanting to sleep with her apparently.

Hope Gurriel is ok. That slide yesterday looked pretty normal so I was surprised to hear he hurt he knee. Maybe it's because he's already 25 but I never see him mentioned as one of the Vlad, Bo, Biggio core moving forward. He's probably the best hitter on the team right now. I've really enjoyed watching his progression since coming back as an OF.

You don’t? You should probably start paying more attention then.

I'm not sure how to even process the concept of "worse than Baltimore".

Vladdy Jr figuring things out. Before tonight;

Yeah, I think Vlad's fine.

What a monster HR

Ouch.

That was so freaking weird.

Can't be face of the franchise if you don't have a face.

Statistical quirk: Grichuk is credited with the strikeout. At the moment, Derek Fisher has faced two pitches but has not made an official plate appearance.

That’s a good way to start playing for your new team. Finish an at bat for a teammate.
