Os need to keep Bichette grounded tonight.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Looks like Wells is going to pitch about two innings tonight depending how efficient he is on the mound.

 

[Just Regular]

I see the Jays, battling hard with the roster everyday, cycled Mitch White out for Zach Pop tonight.    Pop might get the next monologue in the Bryan Baker "you let me go" drama fest of the week.

[Tony-OH]

I hope they are right here, but I don't like taking Kremer out of his routine. He's earned the right to start in this piggy back situation.

[Sports Guy]

Way to make a pitcher work coming off the DL!  Lol

Thank you Blow Jays.

[ShoelesJoe]

Is that the shortest inning of the year pitch wise?

[Hallas]

thats the happiest i've ever seen an announcer for a routine flyout that wasn't the end of the game.

[eddie83]

Can’t ask for a better start than that. 
 

[emmett16]

Welcome back, Tyler!!!!

[Fiver6565]

Blue Jays have a plane to catch. Fine by me. 

[Il BuonO]

At this rate, Wells will throw a complete game. Gotta hand it to those BJ hitters, a savvy bunch.

[Moose Milligan]

Jays looking like an inning of Hays, Odor and Mountcastle at bats.

I can see some logic in getting the guy coming off the DL a normal pregame routine.

[SilverRocket]

Shouldn't have given Bichette anything in the zone.
