Jays don't have a traditional lead off guy. As great as Zeke was in Texas, he is 0 for 7 in this series and law of norms suggests he is better suited for the bottom than top.

Get your best guys out there. Even if JB goes 0-for the next few games but draws a few walks, that is one more runner on for JD and EE.

Zeke should be 9th if Bautista is leading off. Goings can't hit.

Dirk Hayhurst sure likes to pile on the Jays. Sportsnet isn't going to give you the goods on their cash cow, but TSN seems to go out of their way to pile on, especially Hayhurst. Seems like a jilted lover.

"All you gotta do is look at video and count how many times [Indians pitchers have] throw pitches over the heart of the plate. It hasn't been many. They've been able to do that because of the circumstances -- that I'm not trying to talk about because I can't. That's for you guys to do buy you guys don't really want to talk about that either."
-Jose Bautista

Lol, hopefully this ends tomorrow. Then no more 10 minute Jays hilites immediately after a flames game. Though the bandwagon crashing to a halt might cause a riot.

And as much as I want Cleveland to win, the logo is a disgrace and should have been changed decades ago.

What is this bandwagon you speak of? Although Toronto didn't have great attendance until last year, they've always had huge support this country. Support most teams could only dream of. I honestly believe with an owner committed to winning and not the bottom line, Toronto would lead the league in attendance regularly.

Pretty funny you bring up bandwagon, when the Cleveland Indians were 28th in attendance in MLB averaging 19K a game.......

I think she's pulling a JB impersonation.

Isn't Hayhurst from Cleveland? He made it pretty clear one segment before this series that he would be cheering for Cleveland.

On the radio today, Bob McCown said there is a zero chance that Toronto re-signs Bautista.
