Marcus Stroman was at his best in a win over Oakland as the wait for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., continues. (bnicholsonsmith )
“I swear to god,” Montoyo interrupted with a smile. “I don’t know when he’s coming.”
At this point the promotion could happen at any time, but by all indications there are no concrete plans to call up Guerrero on a specific day. Ideally, the Blue Jays would like to see Guerrero Jr.’s oblique respond to the test of playing three consecutive games – something he hasn’t yet done this season. Either way, a promotion seems likely at some point during the club’s upcoming homestand.So it was without Guerrero Jr.
Stroman was at his best Friday, altering his delivery regularly and mixing in all manner of cutters and breaking balls to keep Oakland’s hitters off-balance. After allowing one run in the first, Stroman never faced more than four batters in an inning. All told he allowed just one run while walking two and striking out six.
In the third inning, Stroman’s varied deliveries appeared to unnerve A’s shortstop Marcus Semien, who said something to Stroman after he double-pumped his leg on one offering then quick-pitched on the next. Umpire Laz Diaz stopped Stroman mid-delivery later in the at-bat, which ended in a single.
