What an incredible game to watch.

[The Big Chill]

Jose!!!!!

[jschick88]

Please AA pick up some pitching. This team has the offense. We need pitching now.

[habernac]

the pitching machine might have a better chance tonight. Holy crap, the balls are leaving the stadium tonight.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

This game is crazy. Fun, but crazy.

[403ep3]

MAN! What a game!!!

[KelVarnsen]

Win! Woooooooo! Long game, nearly 4 hours long.

[habernac]

well, this team certainly isn't boring. They didn't quit and pull off a one run victory.

[flames_1987]

What an ugly game but exciting none the less. Rasmus and that new swing look great out there.

[Sylvanfan]

Another manager does himself in by being a slave to the save. Although, that was impressive by Rasmus to turn on that fastball and keep it fair. Him and Lawrie seem to be quite comfortable at the top of the lineup.

Joel Carreno called up and is starting today. Lets keep those bats hot today!

[flames_1987]

This could be another shootout....Carreno has been awful in AA and AAA.

Agreed, Jays depth chart is really thin in terms of starting pitching. With Drabek and Hutchinson gone for a long time..... Its going to be a really tough road finding pitchers.

Not sure who else can start.

As for J Chavez, I doubt there is any way he can start another game.....

[Otsy]

Yup, and Gallardo not as sharp as the last couple years and given up 5 HR's in last 3 starts. Hopefully that trend continues.

Day game lineup

Lawrie 3B
Rasmus CF
Bautista RF
Encarnacion 1B
Johnson 2B
Mathis C
Vizquel SS
Davis LF
(Carreno P)

Would have been nice to see JPA keep stringing some hits together after a good performance last night.

[flames_1987]

Oh dear god.....how awful is that 6-9. Jeff Mathis, Omar Vizquel, Rajai Davis and Carreno.

Good thing the top 4 are performing right now. 9 HR's in the series. Gonna need that power again today.

[Otsy]

Make that 10 HR's in the series. EE with his 3rd. 1-0 Jays

[flames_1987]

Not sure why they didn't let Romero pitch today. That was one ugly inning.

[JayP]

Hopefully the Jays think outside the box and move to a 4-man rotation. There's enough evidence showing the effectiveness is roughly the same as a 5-man and nothing proving that a 5-man rotation is better at preventing injuries.
