Aye, it’s time for another series with the Rays. Haven’t we had enough of those this year yet?
Our nickname for the Rays park has officially been blessed by Gibby:
Great call

We have an injury update:
Blue Jays are awaiting MRI results on Santiago Espinal (left side). Otto Lopez is here on taxi squad just in case.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr., worked out at complex again today, no running yet but doing other baseball activities. Will be re-evaluated in coming days.

Is it too early for lining up our starters for playoff games chatter?
If homefield advantage in wild-card round is on the line in Game 162, Blue Jays would use Alek Manoah even though he’d miss the first round, said John Schneider.

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days, it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead, he would love to see an email that isn’t offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. And if the Jays taught us anything on Opening Day, it’s that they’re always still in it (so please, no “Game Over” comments until the game is actually over.
