Game #26 GameThread: Guardians @ Blue Jays
· Yahoo Sports
So there was a bit of Jays news today, check out the posts, but the short of it:
- Nathan Lukes to IL.
- Yohendrick Piñango called up.
- Yimi Garcia to the 60-day IL.
- Trey Yesavage to start Tuesday.
- Eric Lauer to the bullpen.
I feel bad for Lukes, battling through vertigo, finally starting to hit the way we’d expect and then this. That’s the thing about the game, we don’t know what the players are going through at anytime. Sometimes there is a reason they aren’t performing the way we expect.
Visit playerbros.org for more information.
And it looks like Bo Bichette is starting to get things going for the Mets. He has 6 hits in his last 5 games.
I often say that the start of the season is the worst time for a slump because no one will notice when you turn things around.
And if you start hot, no one will notice when you slump.
I try to tell myself to stay patient, that a guy like Lukes, we know what we have, if he has 50 poor at bats at the start of the year, don’t panic, he’ll likely have the numbers you’d expect at the end of the year.
We get a Kevin Gausman start. He has a 2.54 ERA, in his first five starts. It would be nice if the team could get him some runs today.
