#144 - Toronto Blue Jays (55-88) at Tampa Bay Rays (85-59)

Can the Rays play like the old Devil Rays for once?

Sunday, September 8, 2019 | 1:10 pm ET
Tropicana Field | Saint Petersburg, Florida

Tyler Glasnow (6-1, 1.86, 0.91) vs. Jacob Waguespack (4-3, 3.97, 1.27)


PREAMBLE:

The Blue Jays gave it a good fight in yesterday's third game, but ultimately lost again.  They're still 0-for-September and look to salvage the finale of a four-game series this afternoon against the Rays. 

Jacob Waguespack looks to snap a two-game losing streak and get back on the winning track as he takes the ball for the Jays, facing off against 6'8" Tyler Glasnow, who is returning from a long stint on the injury list.  Glasnow, who will likely be limited to about 50 pitches or so, is a career 0-2, 7.41 in four starts against the Jays.


NOTES:

See ball, hit ball.  See catcher sign, throw ball.  Just win, you turds.  Until the 0-for-September streak is broken, the team doesn't deserve much of a write-up, just sayin'.

But hey, how about Anthony Kay?  Nice debut outing and he's already provided more value in his one start (0.2 bWAR) than Marcus Stroman has in 7 starts as a Met (0.1 bWAR).  Woo, we won something for a change!


LINEUPS:



This is your "just win, you assholes" game threat.
