Crap. Morrow just left the game with an injury after 9 pitches. Crap.

[habernac]

he pulled something, dammit.

[Hockey]

That sucks about Morrow.


Nationals did us a favor by sweeping the RedSox.

Gonna be a tough series. Hopefully the bats come alive this series.

Jesus Murphy, Harper is fast.

[KelVarnsen]

Rasmus!

[saskflames69]

Going..
Going..
GONE!

That was a bomb from Rasmus

[KelVarnsen]

I love how other teams using multiple signs in the Skydome. Even with nobody on base.

[flames_fan_down_under]

A little late to the game, anyone have any insight into the Morrow injury?

[Hockey]

Update on Morrow:

Brandon Morrow left game with left oblique strain and is day to day

[flames_fan_down_under]

Oblique strain isn't the end of the world, I'll gladly accept a day to day status on Morrow.

[Gozer]

Laffey and Crawford coming up.

Beck going down and (presumably) Morrow to the DL.

[Jason14h]

Not day to day

Blue Jays manager John Farrell said Brandon Morrow's strained left oblique was "probably substantial."


Morrow left Monday's start against the Nationals in the first inning with the injury. The Blue Jays haven't given an official timeline for his return, but Farrell said he was in "considerable pain." We fully expect him to land on the disabled list.

[KelVarnsen]

Bryce Harper is pretty good.

[Machiavelli]

Alvarez has some work to do.... Sinking fastball not working, too many pitches hanging.

I've always liked his composure and mound presence, though.

[KelVarnsen]

Not a horrible game tonight, but failed to capitalize when the chances were there.

Won't be able to watch tomorrow. Hopefully Jays can do something off of Strasburg.

Saw some highlights of the game. Jays got really screwed on the strike 3 called with the bases loaded with EEE at the plate. Pitch was way outside. Just a horrible call by Adrian Johnson.

Check it out in the recap. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?co...me_pk%3D318656

That was almost as bad as when Bill Miller called Lawrie out on strikes a little while back on two clearly consecutive balls. This strike 3 pitch called in last night's game was just as outside as that horrific strike 2 call to Lawrie before he was rung up on the next pitch.
