Time for 3 in Milwaukee - lets hope everyone survives the trip.
The Jays ER is getting pretty full, but we do have games to play.
Lenyn Sosa not listed on the Jays active roster yet. Tyler Fitzgerald is, but hasn't played yet. Lukes has a 077 average and a -38 OPS+, Valenzuela is at 52 (next lowest OPS+ on active roster), then Okamoto at 74. Everyone else who is healthy is 100+. I just don't see why Lukes is still getting playing time at this point. There are lots of better options. Yeah, it is just 29 PA but he doesn't exactly have a track record of greatness (96 OPS+ lifetime) and isn't WOW on defense like Straw and Varsho. I like Lukes as a 4th OF but right now he is hitting like a bad hitting pitcher.
The staff has an 11.1 K/9 rate right now (WOW). Lets hope things start smoothing out and we see some wins already. Just 2 1/2 out of 1st despite this slow, injury filled, start of the season. Springer, Barger, Kirk, Ponce, Estrada, all on the IL with Santander, Berrios, Bieber, Francis, Garcia, and Yesavage. Francis & Estrada are just spare parts, but the rest are important keys for the team. Gotta figure the Jays are crossing their fingers that the ER isn't needed this week.
