Over/under for length of game - 2:39

Hyde might let the players make the lineup card for this game.  It seems like he did a few games ago when he had Mullins and Mateo batting 5th and 6th or something similar.

Well, we are facing a lefty so those lineups are usually interesting.   Mullins doesn't hit lefties this year.   Rutschman and Henderson don't hit lefties well.   Could be an interesting lineup.   Does Hyde try to get everyone in, which means playing the 5 guys who didn't play the first game (Stowers, Odor, Aguilar, Nevin, Chirinos).   Chirinos catching is pretty much a given.

They announced Kikuchi?

I thought they announced Phelps.  I was hoping for Kikuchi, he's the only Toronto "starter" the O's really hit well.

Let's win this game for brother Scott. Gone but not forgotten.

I’m watching Jays pen. Looks like a righty is gonna throw to throw. 
 

My daughter has better eyes than me. 
 

She thinks it’s Manoah? Another righty is throwing in OF. I see no lefty. 
 

Manoah may just be getting some work in.

I'm going by baseballpress.com/lineups, which is usually right.   But maybe they are wrong.

EDIT:  And now that site has Phelps and has the Orioles lineup up.   Will have the original post updated shortly.

Jays aren’t exactly going to use high leverage arms here. Burned 4 RP first game. 
 

Maybe some PH’s.

They said Kukchi is definitely pitching in this game so hopefully we can rough him up again.

Definitely the B line up hopefully Adley and Gunnar get 1 or 2 ABs late in the game.

What I am hoping. 
 

Maybe Adley hits for Anthony and Gunnar for Mateo. Split the games

Well Frobby. Season series on line here.
