Generally, there is at least a little bit of Blue Jays’ news after an off-day. But not today . After a series with the best team in the AL, the Jays have three against the Padres, which is one of the best teams in the NL.
If we can get through this series, we have the Rays, Rangers, and A’s for the next ten games. I think that’s an important stretch. If we can’t get at least to .500 by the end of it.....well, let’s cross that bridge then. David Singh has a great story about Addison Barger and his origin story. First.....baseball has become a game for the rich: Addison went to the Dominican Republic: He went to the Domincan Republic the next year as well. The average kid doesn’t have parents who can send him to the Dominican to work on baseball or, for that matter, build a full-sized diamond in their backyard. In the Sun, Rob Longley tells us that the Jays are the Definition of Mediocrity. I think they aspire to mediocrity, but it is much the same. He also mentions Santander’s troubles. We have him for five years. Baseball Prospectus has a story on the Ecology of Baseball Stadiums. And it talks about how parks are being built. Today’s lineup is pretty much the A-team. Santander is hitting sixth. I don’t know what to do with him. I was thinking I’d put him in the outfield for a couple of weeks and have him do something other than fretting about his last at-bat. I have no idea how to get him going. Maybe there is nothing that could do it.
