Jays have 2nd hardest schedule (we know this) to date (Orioles have the hardest- make sense)

Jays have played 27 games against 'top 10' teams (they themselves are a top 10 team, so against the other 9) and are 14-13 . Now if my math is correct, they are 10-5 against top 10 teams that aren't the Yankees

the remarkable thing is that the Yankees have played 15 games against top 10 teams, and as best I can tell- 12 of those games are against the Jays ! (they have played 3 against the Red Sox)

so the Jays have played 15 games against non Yankee top 10 teams and the Yankees have played 3 games against non Jays top 10 teams

I still think the Yankees are on a different planet, so I'm not pretending this is going to be the great equalizer, I just didn't realize how wide the difference is (mind you the Rays are just outside the top 10 and feels like Yankees have played them alot)

(adding to the conversation, games against 'top 10' teams (currently.. of course subject to change)
Jays 27
Rays 16
Sox 16
Yankees 15

The Jays bats came out incredibly slow this year and if not for pitching they wouldn't be where they are. I don't know if they can catch the Yankees but I'm excited for the rest of the season.

As good as the Yankees are they've have a lot of things go right for them too. Eventually that's going to dry up and they'll start going on slumps of their own. Toronto needs to make sure when that happens that they take advantage of it and not blow it.

Tapia 2 run oppo shot

[flamingred89]

^^that hat is disgusting.

Without clicking the link I'm assuming it has something to do with the 4th of July?

Tapia's bat sure has come around lately. Looks good on him.

[Enoch Root]

Tapia hit - good

That Jays cap - bad

[Blaster86]

Berrios got two good starts and has turned back into a pumpkin.

[Enoch Root]

Charlie really going after the ump with that disgusted look there

[Enoch Root]

Teoscar has to lay off that outside pitch if he wants to be the hitter he was last year

[flamingred89]

Sigh. Berrios getting anihilated today. The 5-2 score actually flatters him so far. Yikes.

[KelVarnsen]

Sigh

[Enoch Root]

it's two-run homer night

hopefully the next one goes the Jays way

[Enoch Root]

this ump is giving Lynn everything, and giving Berrios nothing

[Enoch Root]

almost another two-run homer, good thing that runner took his foot off the base

also, apparently I am the only one watching this game

[flamingred89]

I feel like the Jays have run into an abnormal amount of highlight reel baseball so far this year. That pick by Harrison was absurd.

And then Lynn takes a hit away from Biggio.

That's annoying.

[Blaster86]

Jays desperately need both starting pitching and bull pen help, and it's probably not worth it to try and pay for it mid season.

[Enoch Root]

not a two-run homer, but we'll take a two-run double!

Well that was strike 3 on Vladdy he just came into score.

the ump still owes us a couple more

[Enoch Root]

and it just goes to show how important those missed calls can be - inning changing
