2014 Toronto Blue Jays

o

The Blue Jays were just shut out for the 3rd time in 4 games, on their home field in Toronto:

Sat, Jun 7 vs. St. Louis OOOO L, 5-0

Sun, Jun 8 vs. St. Louis OOOO L, 5-0

Mon, Jun 9 vs. Minnesota OOO W, 5-4

Tue, Jun 10 vs. Minnesota OO. L, 4-0

And now, they have lost 4 out of their last 5.

Tue, Jun 11 vs. Minnesota OO. L, 7-2

The Blue Jays have scored 7 runs total in those 5 games.

Brett Lawrie left tonight's game with a hand injury.

Brett Lawrie left tonight's game with a hand injury.

I think that they said the x-rays were negative, but he did not look happy when the trainer was testing him out.

[HokieOs]

The Jays are now 3-8 in their last 11 games. This would seem to be their regression to the mean. They are a better team than their 12-15 start would indicate. They aren't as good as their huge run last month indicated. They're going to end up about .500. Just like the Os, just like the Yankees, and just like the Red Sox.

I'm convinced at this point that the AL East winner will have about 85-87 wins while 4th place will have 80-82 wins. It's going to be a REAL close race to a touch above mediocrity.

If that's the case, then it's gonna be a fun, competitive August & September. The trade deadline looms large in the AL East.

The Blue Jays may be for real, but they are really struggling right now, having gone 3-9 over their last 12 games.

Hutchison really had nothing tonight. Looked pretty weak. But again... The Yankees shoulda ran it up tonight! And they didn't. I'm liking our chances into the weekend!

Bautista and Lawrie left yesterday's game with injuries.

So yeah, the Blue Jays are coming back down to Earth.

[weams]

Up 6-3 over Verlander gonna be 37-24. Last 2 weeks 6-0 vs A's and Tigers. That O is just sick right now.

It will change soon enough. Besides, that team would not win one post season game if they played one.

I guess the worm turned. Like it does for them every year.

Dickey was questionable yesterday after the groin strain against us. Pitched well in the loss tho. 7.2 IP, 4 R, 3 ER, 7 K, 118 pitches. They still suck tho.

[25 Nuggets]

Bautista and Lawrie left yesterday's game with injuries.

So yeah, the Blue Jays are coming back down to Earth.

Still waiting for the MRI results on Bautista. If he's got anything significant, then there's your yearly Bautista injury. And that has really hurt the team these past few seasons. Lawrie I think can be replaced by Francisco for a while but he is certainly a drop in defense at 3B.

Today, the Jays didn't miss either one as they spanked the Yankees. Which I have no problem with.
