Happy Sunday. I thought I was over the jet lag, when I slept great on Friday night, then last night I couldn’t sleep at all.
Anyway, today we have our first look at Yohendrick Pinango. I remember, back in my school days, the teach would have to say Yohendrick Pi, so that the 12 other Yohendricks didn’t think he was talking to them.
The other interesting thing about this lineup is that Ernie Clement is leading off. I think having a guy who swings at everything leading off is pretty strange. I like him batting with someone on base better. I also think that he’d be a good choice if you wanted to hit and run. But 1/6th of the way through the season, Clement has 1 walk.
On the other hand, I don’t know who I’d put in the lead off spot. I’m all for trying Vlad there, but I’m pretty sure the club will never do that.

Today in Jays History, seven years ago, Vladimir Guerrero made his MLB debut.
Now he is 1001 games into his career. He has a .289/.367/.494, with 185 home runs (and 28 steals). Not a bad start at all.
And the Red Sox fired their manager, Alex Cora (and pretty much their whole coaching start). I’m not a Red Sox fan and I’m no more of a fan of Cora but I rarely take joy in someone losing a job.
It does make me wonder what the plan is for their game today. I suggest picking six guys out of the crowd and randomly aside them a role, Manage, Bench Coach, Pitching Coach, First and Third Base Coaches. Might as well have fun with it.
And I missed this yesterday:
One of my favourite plays ever (in an April game).
