FYI: Homers have plagued Santana all season long. He has now allowed 11 on the year.

Absolutely. Looked like 'old' Jose at the plate. Hopefully it's the start of something good, he's way overdue.

Much like Morrow last night, Alvarez pitch count at only 42 pitches after 4 innings while Santana is at 72.

At least that was a nice swing by Lind! Grasping at straws.....

Another incredibly fast pace to this game so far.

Alvarez with a solid game so far. Loving the pitching staff right now.

Pujols has the worst WAR in baseball right now according to FanGraphs. I still think he will find his swing but it shows you how scary these long term big money contracts are, especially to players his age.

I'm not watching the game because they're not showing it out here but going by the box score Alvarez seems to be absolutely pounding the strike zone. 60 pitches, 47 of them strikes.

Yeah, Alvarez looks fantastic so far. Is he really only 22? Crazy.

Alvarez still needs some fine tuning but his poise on the mound is incredible and he hardly walks any batters.

Jays haven't had a hit since that Bautista bomb. Be nice to get something going here, to avoid my blood pressure sky rocketing with Corderro having to come on and try and save a game.

Most impressive stat for someone as young as Alvarez. He's now gone 14 straight going at least 6 IP

Escobar is really coming on strong. Hitting the ball incredibly well of late

Starting to get pretty fed up with Bautista's constant whining about balls and strikes. He looks like such a suck when he does it and it's happening way too frequently this year.
