[jayswin]

We need to get something in this inning, I'm starting to get nervous!!

[Enoch Root]

now they have to take advantage here

Have to keep the infield honest and force them to make plays. I'll take those any day.

starting?

So the Yanks starter is overpowering the Jays since the 1st, but two fluke infield hits that wouldn't make it out of the infield, and they figure there is a better pitcher in the pen and yank him....to pitch to the #9 hitter only?

I realize he had a pitch count that was creeping up there, but its not like the Jays were starting to catch up and were pounding the ball.

Disagree. They may not have worked in the past, but you have to agree things are very different now. There hasn't been this much interest in the Jays in the entire time I've been a fan.

The last two series' had 300 posts each in the mega thread, and I had trouble going back to look for an article. This series OP has 35 thanks for Antithesis' writeup, and to me it's definitely worth it to have that separation and pre series info available.

You can certainly feel that excitement in the thread at the beginning too, kind of like when us Flames fans have that "gathering" feeling in a GDT/GT. I think they'll be successful the rest of this season at least. Obviously you probably go back to a season thread at the start of next year.

Tulo's 0 for 3 so far tonight, time to earn his supper

[Enoch Root]

we'll take a walk!

[jayswin]

Wow, let's hope the Yankees made a huge mistake changing pitchers here. I have a bad feeling they'll get that third out, but I'm praying for at least a run.

[jayswin]

Yep, damn.

[jayswin]

Okay, get out of this inning and I have some confidence again.

[jayswin]

Sweet, fresh two inning game coming up.

[browna]

Great outing by RA again.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Dickey is just rolling lately. Nice to see him pitching so well. Time for Jose and EE to make a statement.

[jayswin]

Let's go EE!!!!!

[jayswin]

Damn, that was a nice pitch.

[Enoch Root]

wow - another bad call

[jayswin]

Wow, the ump effectively ends another inning for the Jays.
