Post Game Thread: May 12, 2013. Toronto 12 - 4 Red Sox

[fatcowxlive]

What a blowout by the Jays! Great pitching from Jenkins, and a great offensive display in Boston's fortress against Dempster. Good job on Gibbons for the tweaked lineup, it seems the hitters are more comfortable and there is more runs getting scored with the boost of Bautista and EE up in the lineup.

 

Scoring Plays:

 

Top of the 2nd:

Jays score (Jays lead 2-0): Munenori Kawazaki slaps a two run single to right field, Adam Lind and Emilio Bonifacio plate

 

Top of the 3rd:

Jays score (Jays lead 3-0): Jose Bautista rips a solo bomb over the monster on the first pitch from Ryan Dempster

 

Top of the 4th:

Jays score (Jays lead 5-0): Emilio Bonifacio hits his first homer of the year to right field, Colby Rasmus scores on the 2 run homer

 

Bottom of the 4th:

Red Sox score (Jays lead 5-1): Mike Napoli hits his 7th homer of the year to dead center, solo shot

 

Top of the 5th:

Jays score (Jays lead 6-1): Edwin Encarnacion hits a beauty homer over the monster for his 11th of the year, a solo blast

 

Top of the 6th:

Jays score (Jays lead 7-1): Brett Lawrie lines a solo homer out of the ballpark for his 4th homer of the year

Jays score (Jays lead 8-1): Melky Cabrera lifts a sac fly to Daniel Nava, Emilio Bonifacio scores

Jays score (Jays lead 10-1): Jose Bautista hits his second homer of the game (9th of the year), Kawazaki scores

 

Bottom of the 6th:

Red Sox score (Jays lead 10-2): Daniel Nava hits a sac fly to Jose Bautista, Pedrioa scores from 3B

 

Bottom of the 8th:

Red Sox score (Jays lead 10-3): Pedro Ciriaco hits his first homer of the year to left field

Red Sox score (Jays lead 10-4): Jarrod Salty hits into a force out with the bases loaded. Mike Napoli scores, Nava safe at 3B, Salty safe at 1B and Jonny Gomes out at 2B

 

Top of the 9th:

Got a LONG way to go, just keep winning series and be .500 around allstar break.

[dmrich28]

nice series win! baby steps...grind it out boys!

[declan_44]

Great game. Lots of positives to talk about.

 

Are the bats finally starting to wake up/meet their potential?

 

For someone who hadn't been stretched out at all, Jenkins looked ok. Is he going to hold down JJ's slot for the month?

[bzapple]

Great to get the series and road trip win, but next weekend's series in New York is going to be every bit as important as this one.

[TheHurl]

Spent the day with my Mom (although she'd probably rather being watching the Jays, my Sister and her granddaughter don't agree) didn't get to see the game at all. Nice result though...nice day for the Dominicans. How long before Bonifacio is hitting higher than JPA?

[Atothe]

Hopefully they go on a roll and win like 12 of 18

[Angrioter]

Great game

[DwightDM]

GSnarls must now attend every game until they lose. 2/2 this year.

Based on his pics, I think we must have seen his group when Victorino was down. The group of four in the blue jerseys?

[Jules]

Exactly. It will be slow, but if they're close to .500 by the allstar break then the season could be salvaged, especially with Reyes back in the lineup.

 

It's good to see some positive comments for once.

[Pete_7]

Nice start by LeeRoy Jenkins today

[theblujay]

Omg we won a series

[Angrioter]

Breakout series

[GD]

Esmil Rogers needs to GTFO

[ElNik2013]

Could anyone imagine Farrell moving Bautista to the 2nd spot in the lineup?

 

I couldn't

I love it. It's a really great move that shows that Gibby is more forward thinking than most realize.

Mike Aviles :'(

[dineke]

I dunno... I love Gibby but he's batting JPA fourth...

[GD]

Meh, if that's the biggest complaint one can find with Gibby, I'd say that he's a pretty good manager.

LOL, yeah, that's the thing, he loves homers.

I hope Jenkins can stay with the team. I would rather watch him than one of AA's DFA candidates.

 

Where did Laffey end up signing?

Los Angeles Dodgers.

[oakville69]

I would rather see Lind 4th against RHP than JPA. I prefer the original lineup.

 

Lawrie,Melky,Bautista,Edwin.

[oakville69]

OK Thanks.

[Metallijay]

He's been fine this season except one thing............. His lineups are all over the place and often make no sense. Batting JP fourth? Ridiculous.

 

What does this org see in Esmil Rogers? Dude is terrible, and we gave up a decent player to get him ugh.

[GD]

Lawrie,Melky,Bautista,Edwin.

 

Your best hitter should always hit second.

[Metallijay]

Your best hitter should always hit second.

 

Your best power hitter should never hit second........... Your best contact hitter should.

[dineke]

Everyone knows that the short white guy should bat second.
