Jays smoked 13-1. Ryu got knocked around. Maybe Houston found a way to cheat on the road.
Aledmya Diaz is a decent player. Versatile, not great at anything, but serviceable around the diamond and above average offense. Jays chose Brandon Drury over Diaz unfortunately, and now they have Joe Panik.

Diaz has the second most punchable face in baseball next to Trevor Bauer.

Chatwood continues to be unable to throw a strike and get people out. Shame, he started so well.

REALLY interesting article.

The contentiousness over the use of foreign substances has boiled over to the degree that a lot of the evidence being presented to central baseball oversight has been video provided by position players angry over what they see as blatant violations of the rule. "You've got players turning in other players," said one official.
It's through the use of video and observation that baseball officials have now compiled what amounts to specific scouting reports on where and how pitchers are using substances, according to one source. "Such as, on his belt on his left side, or between the third and fourth fingers of the glove, or underneath the hat," said one source.
"They know all the spots -- the pitchers who are pulling on the strings on their glove, or going to a spot on their belt."
Said another source: "It's gotten completely absurd, and it's time to clean it up."
In a game in recent weeks, the sources on one team say, it was so obvious that a pitcher on the opposing team was cheating that players began screaming at him to stop cheating -- and the feeling on the enraged team was that they intimidated the pitcher into stopping. Teams say pitchers are using various types of homemade glue, Pelican Grip, SpiderTech adhesive or high volumes of pine tar. The substances being used, said one team staffer, have some players concerned about applying too much to their skin lest they do damage.
Sources: MLB foreign-substance action plan afoot
All Major League Baseball pitchers will be checked repeatedly and randomly for foreign substances by umpires under the plan being swiftly advanced, and perhaps implemented later the month.
