Mariners fans are fucking sick of Blue Jays fans storming the border and filling up Safeco when the Jays make their annual trip to Seattle. I don’t blame them, I guess, because I’ve been to Jays game in Toronto with hoards of drunk Yankee and Sox fans and it sucks ass. That said, fill your goddamn stadium if you don’t want your baseball team to exist to be a vacation destination.

Anyways, I guess this is karma for Jays fans being reportedly loud and obnoxious in Seattle. Tyler Clippard will get the start in the series opener. TYLER CLIPPARD is starting. It won’t be his first career start, like it was for John Axford last week, as he started with the Nationals as recently as 2008. Clippard will be the 11th Blue Jay to make a start this season as they start to make traction on the 14 different starters they tossed out there last season.

Oh, 2018. You were so promising for, like, two weeks in April. I won’t be happy until Kendrys Morales, who sports a 0.00 ERA on the season, gets a start.

In all seriousness, I know we want to see either Sean Reid-Foley or Thomas Pannone get called up to make a start, but they have 14 and eight career starts at Triple-A respectively, and a Major League disaster team isn’t a reason to rush a prospect, I think. I imagine both will be up in September, so we only have a month of silly bullpen starts to go before we can see some prospects get a chance.
