Finally, our lineup is close to its final form.

I truly hope Springer is 100% healed i don't like seeing him at DH as i get bad vibes that he isn't 100% ready and will reaggravate his calf injury - If you aren't able to run and catch fly balls a handful of times per game probably shouldn't be playing?

Tanner Roark is an anagram of "Rank; Near Rot", which concludes any need to ever discuss Tanner Roark.

It certainly says something when an organization that only has 2 healthy starting pitchers DFA's you. He'll always go down as one of the worst contracts in Jays history.

Luckily, only a 2 year deal. Morales, BJ Ryan, Koskie. 17 years of Vernon Wells. There was nowhere to hide on some of those.

Because of ownership's long-standing reluctance to sign long-term FA deals, our list of worst contracts has to be about the least punishing in baseball. Giving $24m to a guy to be sub-replacement-level is obviously pretty bad, but I'm pretty sure the Angels have given out more than five contracts worse than Roark in just the last few years.

Smyly has been hit hard this season, we need to put up a couple of crooked numbers on him.

Springer is 1-1 tonight.

Great signing?

That was a perfect contact swing ala MLB the show for Springer!

Did you notice him running towards 2nd? almost like he was jogging there i thought maybe ATL could have got him - Will be interesting to see him run on a single.

Edit: Forget that just stole 3rd haha

Stole 3rd. Very good sign.

Interesting to see Springer stealing a base. If he's healthy enough to steal a base, surely he's healthy enough to play CF?

Travis d'Arnaud, career fWAR/650: 3.6.
JT Realmuto, career fWAR/650: 4.4.

Ray throwing smoke.

Buck: "Springer will lead it off after Kirk starts it".

LOL... gotta love Buck's play by play. He's so much better as the colour man to Dan.
