5/27 Blue Jays @ Orioles

Halladay is nasty.

I'm very curious as to why Reimold is getting a rest rather than Markakis today. I think the rest would DEFINITELY do him some good.

Pretty obvious they want left handed hitters, as many as possible, against the tough lefty. That's why Reimold is sitting, Luke's DH'ing, and Pie and Markakis are both playing.

ugh....Halladay looks nasty.

B Jays have never been swept on the road, ever!

Anybody watching the game on TV...could you give any input on how Hill's curveball and other offspeed pitches look?

Markakis doesn't get a rest because he doesn't want a rest (as any competitor shouldn't) and his manager doesn't have the cojones to tell his stars to take a seat from time to time for the good of the team.

Would Reimold have made that play?

(Not trying to start anything...)

nasty. He has great command of it and it's got great bite

Say what? They got swept by both the Braves and the Red Sox on the road immediately before this series.

Hill was wild in the first, but is starting to settle down. The curve is WORKIN' today already 3K's the problem however, is that Halladay is pitching and if he is within a foot of the plate the ump is giving him the call. He is already great don't help him out any, but the ump looks to have a man-crush on Doc.

Or, Markakis is arguably the best player on the team and one of the best players in baseball and his manager understands that

Chances of Winning with Markakis > Chances of winning without Markakis

Whatever the Blue Jays are paying Halladay, it's not enough.

He's a beast. Without a doubt, consistently one of the better pitchers of this generation.

Gameday made the two called strikes to Millar look pretty far off the plate too... maybe the ump just has a giant strike zone all the time?

Maybe he went we never swept them? Did seem like an impossible statement.

LUUUUUUKE! 2 Run Homer off Halladay! Man he has not missed a beat!
