  1. Given his interest in what happened and communication with the front office at the trade deadline makes for an interesting prospect of him returning. He acted as though he had a vested interest, not just for this year, but also for the future with his comments regarding Miranda. I'd like him to stay, if for no other reason than there isn't another answer at SS right now.
  2. How many karaoke bars have you been banned from for that?
  3. I'm...I'm okay with that! But that's not how the song goes!
  4. Really like the top half of the order, particularly Miranda at cleanup. ...but it falls into an abyss after that...
  5. Good evening Game Thread fans! I'm back for another Friday night thread opener! Please, please...hold your applause! Tip your waitstaff... Today's tilt features an old friend and a new friend. Unfortunately for the old friend, we hope he loses. Fortunately for the new friend, we hope that he doesn't. Of course, I'm referring Jose Berrios and Tyler Mahle. Berrios, after an awful first half of the season, had a pretty good July. Tyler Mahle, on the other hand, is making his Twins debut after being acquired from the Reds at the trade deadline. He faces a pretty tough lineup that beat up the Twins bullpen last evening. Before I get too far into this thing, I'd just like to mention that I always enjoy attending games against the Blue Jays. The fans travel well and they make for a fun atmosphere. They're enthusiastic, into the game and get behind their team. They're also very friendly people, which only enhances the experience that is seldom seen with fans of towns I won't mention like Chicago, Boston and New York. They're often good games, so good and friendly fans with a good crowd makes for an excellent atmosphere. So, I raise my Sazerac to the Blue Jays fans' and thank you for not being like those fans from towns I won't mention like Chicago, Boston and New York! Now that we have that out of the way, here are the lineups for this steamy evening matchup. Toronto: CF - Merrifield 1B - Guerrero, Jr DH - Gurriel, Jr RF - Hernandez SS - Bichette 3B - Chapman C - Jansen LF - Tapia 2B - Espinal Twins: 2B - Arraez SS - Correa DH - Polanco 3B - Miranda LF - Gordon RF - Cave 1B - Beckham CF - Contreras C - Leon Enjoy the game!
  6. I agree with @Vanimal46, I think it has to be Maeda. Especially given the injuries to the rotation. The injury may have forced their hand to go out and get Mahle, but there's no reason that wouldn't have happened anyway considering the injuries the staff has suffered. On the offensive side, I think Lewis' injury was pretty deflating. It was a short stint, but it was quite a good one. If we're talking about expected Opening Day roster guys though, I think it has to be Kirilloff. Between filling in at LF, a very good defensive 1B is missing from this team. That's not a shot at Arraez or Miranda, but neither have the glove Kirilloff does there. The silver lining of AK's injury is that it allowed Miranda to come up and stay up. That's been a big plus for a lagging lineup.
