Bullpen Blowup Costs Jays

Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]

Today’s Lineups:

The Mariners made changes to their lineup, which I would do too. Arozarena moves down, Rodriguez moves up. I’ve always liked the idea of putting Vlad at the top of our order, and this is much the same for the Mariners. IKF is back in there. I’m half surprised that Gimenez isn’t batting cleanup. Today’s […]

More On Last Night’s Game

That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]
