Zach Britton out 6-8 weeks
New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia has been diagnosed with an arterial clot in his right shoulder and will travel to see Dr. Robert Thompson in St. Louis for further evaluation and possible surgery, the team announced Thursday.
Francisco Liriano placed on the 10-day DL hours after the Mariners claimed Lawrence from the Jays. Pretty sure every single starter for the Jays now except Estrada has spent time on the DL this season.
At this point someone should probably be looking at the training staff real hard, because what the fuck. Donaldson, Tulo, Martin, Morales, Happ, Sanchez, and someone else I'm forgetting.

It's staying, I don't care.
Must be, I do not understand it. The losses to our starting rotation have been pretty devastating but Barney/Carrera/Goins (especially Goins) have really stepped up to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately none of our backup catchers can really replace Martin's offensive production (he was finally starting to hit when he got put on the DL), but at least Maile can catch. Smoak has also looked at lot better at the plate this year, at least batting from the right side anyway.
Devon Travis stole home today for the Jays:

Krod blew another save for Detroit. I think his era is now 8+.

For as bad as the Jays started...

#BlueJays Through 40 Games:
2016 - 19-21, 4.08 Runs/Game, .238 AVG & 45 HR
2017 - 17-23, 4.05 Runs/Game, .236 AVG & 45 HR
Edit: In other news, Matt Kemp is single-handedly ripping the Jays a new asshole.
Benches cleared twice tonight, once after Pillar (based on lip reading) called Motte a faggot for striking him out with a quick pitch, and the second time after Bautista admired his solo homer in an 8-4 ass-reaming. Aaron Loup also completely unintentionally hit Freeman in the hands when Freeman checked his swing on a breaking ball making him the 7th batter to be hit by the Jays pitching staff in three games, and he did not return to the game. The Braves hit Devon Travis in retaliation.
I think half the teams in the league hate the Jays.
If you're bored, the series finale tomorrow might be a fun one to watch.
I just may. Tigers played a day game today and no NBA playoffs on tonight. I"m always down for a good game with bitter hateful teams against each other!
Pillar suspended 2 games for using the word "faggot" at a Braves pitcher
Speaking of Atlanta, Freddie Freeman out 10 weeks with a fractured left wrist
Worth noting he was suspended by the Jays, not the league.
Def watching Braves vs Jays tonight. Got my brews on deck and dinner has been decided. Here's to a great game of baseball!
WELP! HERE WE GO!!!
