Not ideal but that's the lineup I would have gone with. I have a lot of faith in Lukes. Even last night the moment wasn't too big for him. Hit the ball well a couple of times. And he knows his job is to set the table for Vladdy.

Really sucks about springer but the lineup looks as good as expected. Everyone shifted up a spot and IKF slotting in at the bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if it's close late to see Springer pinch hit.

Because if you can swap guys in and out, teams would just play a defensive team in the field, then an offensive team for batting. Then there would be no lineup management

I think they could have moved the DH player into the field and forfeited their DH.

If they needed to play a pitcher in the field I think you'd use one of the starters (eg Yesavage/Gausman, who would be very unlikely to pitch anyway.

I was hoping Deborah Cox would do the anthem justice but then she tried to turn it into a song.

So I went to bed in the 12th. Saw the final, can't comment on what happened, so I'm just going to say what I did last time:

It's a seven game series.

But you would have needed a pitcher to finish Gimenez's at bat.

Jays should ask Rosanne if she’ll sing the US anthem for game 6. And Carl Lewis for game 7.

Jays can't buy a break it feels like. Starting right where they left off.

Vladdy swinging at garbage. Jays can't win if this continues.

Ohtani is attacking the zone. Hope Bieber doesn’t monkey around and do the same.

Had something going, then pop-out. Feels familiar.

Too bad Kirk couldn't put a ball in play, would have been great for their confidence to get an early lead.

Do they walk Ohtani right away? I'm guessing Bieber pitches to him to start.
