Not really.

Ah, now we're closer to the truth. Yeah, I'm happy now.

I really can't see Donaldson continuing like this, he will turn it around, combined with EE heating up right now and playing some very beatable teams I see things turning around for the Jays.

Must be positive must be positive must be positive.

Donaldson not in the lineup tonight. Haven't heard why yet.

Sounds like he's still available from the bench. Could see him nursing something and hoping this helps him rest up to get back on track.

I do think Donaldson is getting a bit victimized by some bad luck. He is missing pitches yes, but he's also hitting the ball really hard and its just not finding the gaps and holes. Pretty strong evidence he is due to break out which is needed.

Also, six of the last nine balls Donaldson has put in play at 100+ mph have gone for outs.

Josh Donaldson (3-for-31 in September and 0-for-his last-23) has put 16 balls in play this month with an average exit velocity of 91.4 mph.

Division/playoffs are still wide open. Red Sox only play AL East opponents the rest of the way so either way it bodes well for Jays so long as they can start picking up some wins.

Question: Does the person who posted that have a multi-year history of posting nothing but negative or critical comments? TAO is the single biggest reason why I rarely participate in this thread.

Big strike zone so far

[flames_fan_down_under]

Well Liriano looks good so far.

[savemedrzaius]

Boston killing the O's already. They are on fire right now.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Jays just need to win. Its simple.

[flames_fan_down_under]

So far a couple of two out doubles and thats it. Need more.

[The Big Chill]

Pillar is frustrating to watch at the plate. Could be so good if he could ever learn to be patient.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Some warning track shots and a bunch of groundball outs. All we need is Liriano to be completely perfect, should be easy.

[The Big Chill]

Top of the order. Time to get something going here.

[The Big Chill]

That's safe

[The Big Chill]
