So the Jays don’t appear to be using an opener today, it is Eric Lauer right from the first pitch. Let’s have a good start Eric.
And there is no Heineman or Springer. Springer is supposed to be available off the bench and he’s supposed to be starting tomorrow. We’ll see I guess. That ball off the foot looked really bad when it happened.
Heineman…..I don’t know. Valenzuela has looked ok offensively. He seems like a fine defensive catcher. If it were me choosing who to keep when Kirk comes back, I’d lean towards him. But then lots can happen between now and then.
I like Okamoto in the two spot. It is nice to see we’ve gotten past that idea that the power hitter has to bat fourth. I’d like Okamoto getting more at bats. And I’m good with Yohendrick Pinango leading off. He’s having good at bats. When Barger comes back, it will be interesting to see what the Jays do. And it will be interesting when Lukes is really to come back.
But then, let’s see if Yohendrick is still hitting great when that time comes. These things tend to work themselves out.
