Jose Bautista

Otto Lopez, the fact that he is leading the league in hits and batting average might be a little under the radar.

Just, you know, the way it goes.

What has...

been so effective for him kind of turning himself because, you know, he was always a don't strike out a ton guy, but now to jump from, you know, a two 50 hitter to a three 30 hitter, even if that's going to come back down to earth a little bit, where have you seen the growth for auto Lopez?

Yeah, it's fun, and obviously not just Canadian, but a former Blue Jays prospect.

On the pitching side in this series, the headline items probably go to Tuesday and Wednesday with Alcantara and Iuri Perez.

Jansen Junk will go tonight, and, you know, kind of...

pitch ability guy veteran guy six different pitches doesn't walk a lot of guys um he's had a couple of rough ones in a row here what is jensen what are you looking for from junk tonight uh tell you know he's kind of back on the right foot the way things looked a little earlier in the season well he's a guy that i think and when i do the broadcast and i watch him pitch he is a strike thrower sometimes uh to a fault and you know he's around the plate almost too much

Yeah, we don't know just yet either.

It sounded yesterday like they were optimistic maybe he could play today because it was just kind of got him on the funny bone kind of thing.

X-rays were negative, but we'll see.

I'll find out when you do a pregame a little bit later, Jeff.

Love the note about him working quick.

Yeah, that's always a good thing too.

So that's tonight's game.

Tomorrow...

Fans are familiar with Sandy Alcantara, but this is his first full season back after the partial last year coming off Tommy John.

ERA is four.

Some of the underlying stuff is good.

Where is he in terms of getting back to, you know, 2022, 225 innings, Sandy Alcantara?
