It’s time to get back to the diamond and forget about yesterday.

The Toronto Blue Jays made their decades-in-the-making postseason return on Thursday afternoon and it didn’t go great. The Texas Rangers jumped out to an early lead and held on for a 5-3 victory at the Rogers Centre as David Price became the first MLB pitcher to go 0-6 in postseason starts.

That wasn’t all. Josh Donaldson and Adrian Beltre both left the game with injuries and are questionable to play this afternoon. But, more importantly, who will be on the field this afternoon and who will be pitching?

Marcus Stroman will get the start for the Blue Jays while Cole Hamels will go for Texas. Let’s just say Strolman was a little excited:

First pitch of Game 2 is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast in the United States on MLBN and in Canada on SNET. Not going to be near a TV when the squads square off? That’s cool. Here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
