Game Two of Three with the Royals, who are now on a 9 game win streak. Ending it would be a good idea.

Also it would be nice if we were make fewer mistakes. Vlad throwing wide of first (he leads first basemen with eight errors, for a .990 fielding average). And Lukes….well, we’ve talked about that enough. Baseball is much better when it is the other team making the mistakes.

We are going to see a few different pitchers for the Jays today, putting to test the line about ‘if you use enough pitchers, sooner or later you are going to find the one that doesn’t have it today’. But we have done well on bullpen days.
