I think for the rest of the game they should all bat from the opposite side of the plate, atleast we'll get some laughs out of this game.

Comon Travis we need you!

If Tulo gets ahead in the count within the first three pitches I'll drink a million beers in one night.

Sounds like the Jays are gripping the bat too tight now. Radio guys are saying they are trying too much to be pull happy and are giving up easy ground balls. Noted that none of the Jays hits have gone the other way yet today.

This is it exactly, they're all trying to pull the ball so teams work them outside and we see a steady stream of lazy pop flys and ground balls to short stop.

Not every ball has to be hit over the left field fence.

Heh. Well, at least Saunders hit that the other way, and pretty hard. Baby steps. Freaking baby steps.

Are you telling me there's a reason Saunders is their best hitter at .306 while Donaldson, Bausita, EE, Tulo and Martin are all sub .250?

Martin with a base hit. That's rare.

These games are getting increasingly more boring. Need them to string some wins together to make it fun again.
