no. fourteen 2018: Blue Jays (8-5) at Cleveland (7-5)

Friday 13 April 2018
7:10PM EDT / Progressive Field / Cleveland OH
Marcus Stroman (RHP 0-1 8.38 11K 1.76) v. Mike Clevinger (RHP 1-0 0.71 9K 1.42)


PRE-AMBLE:

i am returned to you unkilled from the wilds of Costa Rica where, guided by tribal shaman, i fell into an ayahuasca fugue state lasting a full seven days. turns out my spirit animal is the three-toed sloth.


OF NOTE:

Jonah Keri inked a nifty li'l piece on your second place (in the AL East) Toronto Blue Jays o'er at Sportsnet. if he didn't coin the term "Bargain Brigade" he ought to have.

not much else to report you don't already know by now, i'm sure. Josh Donaldson has joined fellow All Star Troy Tulowitzki (remember him?) on the disabled list. call-up Teoscar Hernandez will keep his roster spot toasty warm, in the meantime.

no more walking under ladders, lads.
