Really hope they can bounce back today, but the Tropicana House of Horrors may have something to say about that. At least its a day game, so I have 3+ hours of baseball to listen to at work. Always love that.
If you have Shaw, you can actually stream the games now on that Free Range TV App. It's pretty sweet. Just need a WIFI connection so you don't kill your data.

With Matt Moore on the hill tonight i'm expecting some Blue Jays fireworks. Probably 6-7 runs. Hopefully Happ can keep Tampa under control. Seems to be a lot of people down on Happ. I liked his last stint with the team and was quite disappointed when he was traded. I think he's going to surprise some people this year.

Yeah, I think I'll just keep it to the radio feed - I think I'd be pushing my boundaries if I was streaming video to my phone / computer while at work. And there is something peaceful about listening to baseball on the radio; it just seems right.

Given his strikeouts so far this year - maybe...

I think the Jays are going to be a bit like the Yankees were a few years ago. Live and die by the HR. Can be very frustrating for the other team especially with the multi-run homers. So far it sounds like TB has outplayed TOR in general, but suddenly they find themselves in a 3-0 hole.

Little bit of a back issue. He's supposed to start on Sunday.

Sometimes I wish the pitch tracker wasn't there.

I keep thinking Robot umps for the strike zone with some of the calls.

That was the right call regardless of what rules regime is in place (this year or last), and a stupid play by Bautista.

Not bunting was a ridiculous decision by a manager who has a history of making some pretty poor decisions.

That said, who really cares? It's 1 game. We win tomorrow and we take 3 of 4 in Tampa which is a notorious Blue Jays slaughtering ground. I would have been happy with a split to start the season in Tampa.
Because you carry on like you are god's gift baseball and and you try to convince people your opinion is fact.

Browbeating people who don't agree with you turns people away from participating in this thread. You're encouraged to share your opinion, but realize you are probably wrong at least as often as anyone else, so accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of "blindly supporting the Blue Jays" makes you look like a pompous jerk.

In this case I would maybe agree with you, but since I don't want to be painted with the same brush as you, you are on your own.

Looked off the base to me there, but it was pretty close.

Getting tired of all the reviews now though.

Something, anything, from Collabello or Martin at this point would be nice.

I don't have a problem disagreeing with me at all. I have a problem with people posting drive by one liners (not you by the way) while adding nothing to the conversation at all.

Darn, thought Pillar had that. Bounces off the top of the wall and out, 3-2.

So is this a typical game from Happ? He's kind of scary to watch, doesn't inspire much confidence.

What's making him look scary? I can't watch the game, but I see he's only given up one run in the bottom of the 6th. Lucky to get out of some jams?
