The point is these players in this condensed schedule need some days off. So we’re almost never going to field our optimal lineup. I would guess we’ll get closer to that in games against the Yankees with more key players off in other games.

Edit: to elaborate on what Cali said I’ve heard feedback from Jays fans recently on both “they should have pulled him after 5” and “they should have kept them in!”. Same thing for relievers and 1ip. Thing is all us fans see is what’s on the field so our judgement of managers is on lineup and tactical decisions. We don’t see anything of the other parts of the job so we are slanted in that view. Which leads to lots of people calling Montoya a moron because they don’t do the on field decision they agree with.
