Notes:

 

MLB:

• No important notes today
   
  

 

Twins:

• Correia has been solid over his last 3 starts with a 2.55 ERA but has struggled against the Jays, posting a big 7.36 ERA mark against the boys in blue
  
• The Canadian Morneau has a low average against the Jays, posting a .207 (18/87) against the Jays but 6 of the 18 hits have been longballs
  
• The Twins are 3-10 in the past 13 games
  

 

Jays:

• Jose Reyes is hitting .333 (7/21) against Correia, Encarnacion is .316 (6/19) and Bautista is .600 (3/5) against the righty. Reyes has a homer against him, and EE has two homers against Correia.
  
• In the last 19 matchups, the Jays are an unbelievable 15-4 against the Twins, and haven't dropped a series at home since '05
  
• Buehrle owns a 27-19 record with a 3.75 ERA against the Twins in his career with the White Sox. He owns a 2.16 ERA at home in the last 4 starts and both Mauer and Morneau are combined to hit .207 against the lefty.

C'MON BOYS!!

 

De Rosa should be giving a vetrin speech right now. Something along the lines of this:

 

[Chappy]

This is one of those series the Jays have to sweep, anything less would be unacceptable. This Twins team looks like s***.

[G-Snarls]

@BlueJays: ROOF STATUS: Weather conditions are improving and the roof will be OPEN by game time

not going to beat anyone if the s***** offense shows up again.

[G-Snarls]

Verlander and Scherzer have left town (thank God). It will.

[kcjaysfan]

Exactly. The big problem is the starting pitching with this team we follow, how anyone could expect the blue jays to outslug the Tigers with those 2 pitchers on the mound is beyond me, let alone an offense with 3-4 regulars out injured. I do understand the frustration.

Yep. In order to split or take 3 that series, we needed to beat up on one or both of the other two starters badly AND have one of our starters pitch a gem against Verlander or Scherzer. Didn't happen obviously.

The game that stung for me was the one against Fister. I thought Gibbons left Wang in too long (lol), but then again, whomever came in might've given up just as many. The Bonifacio error during JJ's start was huge, not making excuses for JJ, but absent that error, there's no one on and 2 outs.

there is no acceptable reason to EVER play Boni if Kawasaki is healthy. Bumfiasco can FO and DIAF!

[BlueJayWay]

Love how every close call at first goes against us.

[LOVethISTEam]

This team has been giving up an insane amount of infield singles lately.

[bronson44]

Why not reach out your arm and tag him?

[Abomination]

Batter's foot clearly beat Buehrle's, but I'd like to see another replay angle of that. Looked like Buehrle might have tagged him.

[BlueJayWay]

Are you David Cooper?
