Marcus Stroman (RHP 3-2 3.33 40K) v. Julio Teheran (RHP 3-3 4.08 34K)


Everything is awful. If today gets any worse, I'm liable to go Full Dabbles. Ugh.


Of Note: Toronto has suspended OF Kevin Pillar two games for uttering a homophobic slur during last night's loss. More here at RSN. OF Dwight Smith Jr. has been called up from Buffalo, presumably in the interim. Twenty-four year old Smith Jr. is enjoying a nice li'l season, slashing .297/.350/.422 in 128 ABs.

Break a leg, Dwight.

Wait: no! Whatever you do, do not break a leg. The last thing the Blue Jays need is more turmoil.
