If you're wondering why a day game on Friday, Stolen Prayers pointed out that it's Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and the Yankees have a large Jewish fanbase.
I'm also pleased to announce that we have a new writer joining us who has expressed an interest in doing game recaps. We'll be putting the first one out tonight, either at 5 or 6pm. Please come back and check it out!
Let's just say today has an interesting lineup.
Of Note:
No Justin Smoak today for matchup reasons vs Masahiro Tanaka; Brett Anderson's finger (blister) is fine, will start finale for #BlueJays— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) September 29, 2017
A few #BlueJays notes: Kevin Pillar has gone home where his wife is due to soon give birth.— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) September 29, 2017

Joey Votto has reached base 314 times in 2017. The @Reds' single-season franchise record is 319, by Votto in 2015. What a stud.— High Heat Stats (@HighHeatStats) September 28, 2017
This is your game thread: "Make the Yankees cry" Edition.Regarding trying different grips, this thread is useful to see how 2 pitchers get power sinkers, from non-traditional grips. https://t.co/EXc5MbTyiH— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) September 29, 2017
