#30 - Toronto Blue Jays (14-15) at Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (13-17)



Wednesday, May 1, 2019 | 10:07 pm ET
Angels Stadium of Anaheim | Somewhere near Disneyland

Marcus Stroman (1-3, 1.43, 1.09) vs. Luke Bard (0-1, 3.38, 1.13)


PREAMBLE:

The Blue Jays are coming off a loss in the opener of a six-game road trip and look to get back onto the winning track again as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. experienced a major-league loss for the first time in the home where he was 'Mini-Me' to his father for six years.

Marcus Stroman takes his birthday cake (28 today) out to the mound today as he seeks to burnish his trade bait credentials, going up against The Bard of Anaheim, Luke Bard.


NOTES:

Vlad Jr.'s on the verge of breaking out with a big fly, I can just feel it -- two walks late in yesterday's game suggest that he might be starting to settle down and be more patient to wait for the right pitch.  Watch.

Kinda mailing it in with this game threat as it was a busy busy busy day.  Plenty of entertainment in the previous recap thread if that's what you're looking for.

Go Jays.  Play ball.  27 vs. 27 again tonight.


LINEUPS:


This is your "fishing for Trout" game threat.
