This Things I Believe (1)

I am going to aim to write a daily blurb here.  Anyone who stumbles upon this for whatever reason should be warned the aim for these posts will be to toss out ideas and thoughts, not to slam down winners…The main concept here will be to try to establish concepts that are believed to be true.  I apologize if some of the issues here are widely known and discussed, I havent watched SportsCenter in an eon.

Blue Jays

I have been going thru team lineups pretty consistently the last couple of weeks and it is striking how Toronto hardly ever seems to diverge from its standard lineup.  Virtually every other team accounts for hot streaks, or at the least righty-lefty matchup stuff…Toronto for the most part seems to go, “Oh, you say they are scratching that 22 year old lefty minor league call-up and are pitching deGrom today?  Fair enough.  No, I dont need an eraser, we’ll stick with whats on the card, thank you.”  They simply dont care…You are going to face 5-6 very legit RH hitters right off the rip…I bet some pitchers almost do a double-take when Cavan Biggio steps up.  It has obviously worked fine for them so far, interesting to see if they maintain this course as playoffs begin to approach.
