5 hours, which is a long time on a bus. But a number of the veterans are going for the ride. Even George Springer.
He really must want the at bats, because he could easily say ‘I don’t want to go’ and no one would make him. Seven hours on the bus for 3 or 4 plate appearances? He could stay in Dunedin and take as many swings as he wants.
Lineups…. with no pitch listed for the Blue Jays, but it is going to be Lazaro Estrada Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS MARLINS George Springer – DH Kyle Stowers – LF Nathan Lukes – RF Xavier Edwards – 2B Davis Schneider – 2B Otto Lopez – SS Addison Barger – 3B Liam Hicks – 1B Daulton Varsho – CF Connor Norby – 3B Myles Straw – LF Griffin Conine – RF C. J.
Stubbs – C Esteury Ruiz – DH Riley Tirotta – 1B Daniel Johnson – CF Arjun Nimmala – SS Brian Navarreto – C – HP Janson Junk – RHP I’ll admit, the crappy umpiring of last night’s WBC game has put me off baseball at the moment. That last strike call was almost unbelievable, unless you had seen the strike call to Soto an inning before. As my son said, about the one in the ninth: it was closer to the ground than it was to the strike zone.
