Gibbon's reasoning was that with groundball specialist Stroman pitching they are anticipating a heavy workload at 3B so being extra cautious, any other starter and Donaldson would be out there.

Unless he has a massive flesh wound if your MVP tells you he's good to hit and wants to play you play him, imo.

On another note, the videos and montages that MLB puts out at times makes the NHL look silly. Some cool stuff there tonight.

Picking up Dan Shulman for a handful of games is a brilliant move IMO.

Despite the high K's to start the season, the Jays seem to be a bit better at manufacturing runs this year without the long ball to start the season.

1-0 after 1. Stro looked great, got a few guys on base and cashed one in. Pretty nice start all in all.

Apparently the entire league is striking out at a 25% rate right now so it's not just the Jays striking out a lot.

I love when players put on a show to make sure the play is reviewed.......and are wrong.

Yep, there should be a time limit. Not have the manager stand on the edge of the dugout waiting for someone to give him the nod or not. Getting a little out of hand.
