Probably more focused on his knee than the ball.

3 runs and 27 pitches in the 1st - I'll take that!

Sure is nice having a catcher that can throw out runners. The entire defense is so much better than last year.

With EE's dinger, the Jays now have 3 players in the top 10 in the majors for RBIs.

1) Donaldson
6) Bautista
9) Encarnacion

The 3 of them now have 274 282 RBIs.

The top 3 batters in the majors, that aren't Blue Jays, have 280.

And I honestly thought that Dioner was a HUGE upgrade from years of seeing J.P Arencibia behind the plate last season. Seeing Martin day after day this season just makes me appreciate more how far this ballclub has upgraded that position.

You can't blame Bautista there, but that will almost certainly cost them some runs

Yeah, he definitely has his share of lazy, silly errors, but you could tell he was 100% focused on that ball and just simply lost it in the sun. Would have happened to anyone out there.

Not bad, lost one run for that error, could have been way worse.

1st and 3rd, nobody out, and the heart of the order coming up.

Great job by Hutchison to hold them to 1 run

We're better off if Revere can get a hit than a walk.

Zaun predicted that Farmer probably only makes it a couple times through the order.

We're almost there! And 63 pitches already

Crazy to think back to what a slow start Revere had with the Jays, now he's almost unstoppable. Still like to see him in the #1 spot.

Nice! I admittedly didn't think much of the Revere acquisition (mostly because I was going by the reaction here haha), but he is on absolute fire!

I would love to have him in that lead off position, imagine how often we'd have at least one guy on base for Donaldson, Bautista and EE?

I heard the Jays crew discussing that and saying it wouldn't be fair to Tulo and that you have to go with your stars in certain positions. But the idea of

Revere
Donaldson
Bautista
EE
Tulo

is boner inducing.

I have been saying this from the get go.

Tulo just doesn't seem comfortable as the leadoff guy.

Revere
Donaldson
Bautista
EE
Tulo

is just crazy.

Also, imagine Donaldson at the plate with Revere distracting the pitcher with the threat to steal
