2010 Blue Jays Season Thread

[Machiavelli]

Please Morrow, keep the ball down a bit.

[Tyler]

The problem with 16,000 fans, is you can hear morons in the crowd way too clearly.

Some idiot hasn't shut up the whole first inning and its incredibly annoying.

[calculoso]

Could the difference be a different hitting philosophy from the GM? Ricciardi always seemed to be a play-the-percentages and work the count kind of guy and fairly heavy handed. Maybe under AA, Cito and the crew have got them back to being 'see ball, hit ball' type batters, and Lind/Hill hadn't quite adapted to it yet?

[malcolmk14]

No hitter broken up with two outs in the 6th on a really close call at first.

Jays playing pretty well tonight.

[Machiavelli]

Ugh, what is Downs doing?

[Ziggy Lidstrom]

A shaky BP closes it out. I thought for sure we were going to extras with a man on 3rd and one out.

Big Win. Even though garza lost he was good. Niemann is going to be tough.

Pitching match up tomorrow night does not favour the Jays at all, but this is a big win for the team going forward.

[flames_1987]

5th best record in all of baseball but 3rd in the AL East

I am surprised the Jays were able to obtain a prospect for him....

"Uviedo, has appeared in 16 games in relief this season for the Double-A Altoona Curve, where he's posted a 0-2 record with a 3.22 ERA. The 23-year old right hander has 28 strikeouts to go along with 13 hits and 12 walks in 22.1 innings pitched this season. He will report to the Jays' Double-A affiliate in New Hampshire."

Getting anything for Eveland is great.

The Pirates are the most pathetic franchise in sports.

Now to find out who is going to be able to hold down the #5 spot in the rotation.

The Jays talked yesterday about keeping a 5 man rotation even with all the breaks this month. It makes a lot of sense when you consider how young this staff is

My bet is, Litsch will be recalled//activated just before the next scheduled start for the 5th starter. Tallet will be put back in the bullpen and Purcey will be sent to AAA.

I believe Litsch can be activated on June 4th from the 60 day DL.

[flames_1987]

Even worst attendance then last night @ Skydome tonight. But hell who cares, Tallet is gonna lock down another W

...and with all the pitching injuries they've encountered over the past years.

[flames_1987]

Tallet never is pretty but hopefully he can give the Jays 5 innings tonight. I can't stand him on the mound

[flames_1987]

Tallet gets out of trouble striking out the #9 guy with two on.

[GirlySports]

gotta love the Jays. It's either a pop-up or a homer!

[flames_1987]

Way to go Jays. Make the hits count!

Fred Lewis 3-3 tonight!

[Machiavelli]

Great hitting in the 5th!!!

And I'm going to give another shout-out to what must be one of the best bargain pick-ups of the off-season...Fred MFing Lewis.

[flames_1987]

Hill and Lind with big hits. Nice to see
