RAys/Sox series

[Stangstag]

Will f***ing Myers, guys

 

Ok...

[digiblader]

Actually, Texas is the best team. Oakland's struggled recently with offense and pitching.

[Angrioter]

Edwin Encarnacion right now ESPN Radio Dominicana

 

-The pitching will be the key because we always hit well. It's not easy to win games when you start the game losing 5-0.

 

-Has been very nice, we were waiting for this. The fans and journalists did not believe in us.

 

-Bad luck, many hard balls direct to the glove of the opposite teams and nothing came out right.

 

-We have the talent and things will continue to improve, all with positive mindset.

 

-My improvement is due to the confidence that the team gave me and play 1B everyday. Cano and Jose Mercedes helped me a lot 2 years ago in the offseason at San Pedro de Macoris.

 

-I think Jose Reyes is an inspirational spark. We miss him and look forward to integrating to the team.

 

-Esmil Rogers and Chien-Ming Wang have given a big change

oooooo

[G-Snarls]

Right. I was like "why don't we just sweep the O's!?" Let's win. Although as Chappy says, focus on each game at a time.

 

Let's win tonight then. Go Jays!

People keep mentioning that we often lose at tropicana field but no one mentions how we won our last series there this season, it was the first time in how long ?

It was a split, Blue Jays won the series at the RC though, maybe that's what you're thinking about.

[Deadpool]

Before we get all our expectations ridiculously high, just know that the Jays haven't won a series in Tampa since 2007. We are horrendous against the Rays. We look worse than Joe Maddon's ass-hair.

 

Hard to put much faith into the idea that the building is some sort of jinx... Jays have the matchup advantages and are at the very least playing like the superior team ATM.

That's not a particularly daunting line-up outside of Longoria (natch). Jays should distract Scott by all wearing Obama masks, sending him into a seething rage...

[DickeyJohnsonWang]

Rays bullpen has been dreadful, got to work Hellickson's pitch count and get him out and we'll have a good chance to win. A good series from Rasmus would be nice

for some reason the jays always seems to struggle against hellickson, hope that changes tonight, he has struggled this year.

[digiblader]

If you're wondering on Kelly Johnson, his numbers have fallen off--.123 in June. Like the Yankees hitters, he's regressed back to the mean.

 

Other June Numbers in averages:

James Loney: .244

Yunel Escobar .253

Longoria .293

Scott .220

Zobrist .321

Joyce .247

Jennings .256

Fuld .182

Lobaton .275

There pitchers have struggled as well. a winnable series, now is not the time to fall back and lose ground.

[Metallijay]

Last time they faced him he wasn't that great.

 

No he has not been good at all, but the jays usually struggle against him, hope that changes, plus he looks like he's 12.

[Jimcanuck]

That assturd Escobar better not be showboating again

[DickeyJohnsonWang]

yeah we've actually won both games against him this year, though no-decisions. One was the game where we came back down 7-0 and won 8-7, other was a 4-3 win where Jose tied the game in the 9th on a homer and drove in the winning run in the 10th.

Outside of his really good May, he's been quite mediocre.
