You aren't going to get a lot of walks from Pillar. It's either contact or strikeout. I'm still not sold on him being a lead off hitter.

Great, something wrong with JD? Leg, groin?

I don't like him there at all, he's like Tulo last year, just doesn't look overly confident in that spot. Not sure who else to put there though.

Apparently Buck Martinez thought it might be allergies

Looks like he was limping, so people are guessing leg / groin / lower back. Probably won't hear much until at least tomorrow as its an off day tomorrow.

Wow this bullpen is troublesome so far this year. Shades of the start of the season last year.

So why not Storen there with Osuna in the 9th? Bizarre.

The Tropicana House of Horrors strikes again - Donaldson hurt / two blown leads in the 8th. Get them out of there!

I'm guessing because he pitched the day before last and warmed up yesterday. Gibby is an excellent manager... except in regards to the bullpen. Arnold Leon has no business being called upon in a high leverage situation. None.

I guess since he pitched Sunday and loosened up in the pen both Monday and yesterday the Jays didn't want to use him tonight.

Positive so far, starting rotation has been on point.

Start of the season is always a mess, just have to get through it. Getting out of the trop with a split is fine. Just hope Donaldaon isn't lost. That would obviously be massively bad.

I'm trying hard to be positive but my god Gibbons is terrible at managing the pen. Neither Osuna and Storen pitched last night. The fact they weren't there in a one run game is inexcusable.

Good battle by Cola, base hit to lead off the 9th.

With the off day tomorrow, I would have throw Osuna in there once Floyd hit trouble in the 8th and let him take the 8th and 9th.

It's early, they'll learn. But this has been a costly mistake.
