The Jays haven’t activated Anthony Santander today. That surprises me. The Bisons’ season ended on Sunday. I don’t understand why he wasn’t placed on the roster today. The team says they will make a decision tomorrow.
Apparently the team hasn’t decided if he is ready to join the team:
This will be interesting to follow. He is under contract for four more years. It seems strange they haven’t called him up, even just to pinch-hit or something. I don’t understand what’s going on. If they don’t think he’s ready to play and he thinks the opposite, there could be trouble.
And Bo Bichette is still swinging a bat (not with a pitching machine, but still isn’t running the bases, which would be important.
Tonight’s lineup:
The Toronto Sun tells us that Kevin Gausman likes Kokanee beer. I guess it could be worse, he could like Labatt’s Blue.
The MLB is going to use the ABS Challenge System next season:
With Hawk-Eye technology running in the background and monitoring the exact location of each pitch, relative to the batter’s zone, players can request a challenge of a ball or strike call they feel the umpire got wrong.
When a call is challenged, the Hawk-Eye view is then transmitted over a 5G private network from T-Mobile’s Advanced Network Solutions and nearly instantaneously shown to those in attendance via the videoboard and to home viewers via the broadcast. The ball-strike call is then either confirmed or overturned, and the game goes on having only been briefly interrupted.
I think we are ready for it.
Kevin Gausman is on a great run. I hope it continues tonight.
