I’d like another easy win. And another good start. I hope you are listening Max. 14 games left with a 3 game lead.
Shi Davidi talked to John Schneider about Andrés Giménez playing short.
After all, he’d risen the ranks as a shortstop and had 84 big-league games at the position, so if they could “optimize” his abilities as someone Schneider described as “probably the best infielder in Major League Baseball,” it was surely worth a look.
I like the idea, your best fielder should be at short. I think we
would have been better off to move Bo to second back in spring training, but I can understand that would have been a hard conversation to have just before Bo’s free agent year.
And Shi’s story let’s us know that Bassitt came out of the game, not because he was hurt or anything, but because they want to watch his workload.
I don’t know how something going 94 mph gets defined at a change up but I won’t argue:
Alek Manoah had a good start yesterday. 5.1 innings, 4 hits, 3 runs with 8 strikeouts. He retired 15 of the first 17 batters, giving up a single and a home run. I don’t know if he’ll come back to Toronto as a useful starter, but that makes me a little more optimistic.
Today’s lineup. Davis is in there.
GO JAYS GO
