Still don't agree with risk but can't argue with the results.

Josh Donaldson becomes the first player in BlueJays history to hit a Grand Slam in a Home Opener

Love that we're already in to their bullpen after 3.0 innings in game 1 of the series. Wear them out.

The Jays have really done a good job of wearing down pitchers early.

Will the Jays medical/training staff ever learn?

Anymore questions?

Absolutely, still think it's ridiculous to risk further injury to play him as a DH 5 games into the season when he is clearly not 100%

We have no idea on the basis of the injury with regards to playing tonight exacerbating it. It's a bit of a stretch to be angry about it when we don't know the specifics

Exactly, well said. For all we know, it could be extremely minor and the fact they are even DHing him IS playing it safe. We just don't know, so there's no point in second guessing.

He's moving pretty gingerly out there and when I was driving home from work the radio Pbp guys said he has limited lateral movement which is what is keeping him out of the field.
