Notes:

 

MLB:

• The Dodgers acquired RHP Ricky Nolasco and $197,000 international slot money for RHP Steve Ames, RHP John Wall, and RHP Angel Sanchez
  
• Blue Jay players OF Jose Bautista, DH Edwin Encarnacion (reserve) and LHP Brett Cecil all made the All-Star Game. RHP Steve Delebar is a final vote candidate and the Jays have made an alliance with the Atlanta Braves, as their fans will vote Delebar and our fans will vote 1B Freddy Freeman
   
  

 

Twins:

• Brian Dozier has been producing from that 2B position, positing a .387 average with 4 doubles and a homer in his last 9 games. Rookie outfielder Oswaldo Arcia who was hit by a pitch and removed from the game was on fire too, as he was hitting .343 with 3 homers in his last 22 games.
  
• Canadian native Scott Diamond will be making his second start at the Rogers Center. The Canadian lefty has a nice 1.50 ERA against the Jays in two career starts.
  
• Joe Mauer is looking to extend his 5 game hit streak, while Justin Morenau is one homer shy of tying the 4th most career homers as a twin. Bob Allison had 201 homers while Morneau has 200 career homers
  

 

Jays:

• Jose Bautista's been hot, even if he did go 0/4, he's still hitting .424 with 4 homers in his last 9 games
  
• Juan Perez has a solid start to his campaign. Actually, solid is an understatement if you start the season (after your callup) with 18.2 innings of scoreless relief pitching.
  
• Yesterday's loss came at a bit of a surprise especially since Toronto were 9-2 against the Twins in their last 11 matchups

I'd also like to point out that the starters for Buffalo in the doubleheader today are Wang and Bush.... that's just awesome.

-Todd Redmond

-JP bobblehead

-Lind cleanup hitter

[Angrioter]

Uggla on Puig: "He’s exciting. But should he make the All-Star team? No, not this year. But he’s going to. Which sucks for Freddie."

[Angrioter]

 

Pillar >>> Nolin?

 

AA hijo de puta

[Angrioter]

I think I see what you mean... Haha

 

Pillar 2 weeks up the big club wouldn't be good for development, but Nolin getting called up for 1 inning is?

 

AA is a moron

[fatcowxlive]

 

lol I'm going to tweet and him and his retardedness

[kcjaysfan]

This is starting well.

[DwightDM]

oh my...

[LOVethISTEam]

obligatory #top10catcher

[jaysfaithful8]

JP up to his shenanigans early.

[BlueJayWay]

excellent

[DwightDM]

We need a catcher. I don't care if he's a black hole in the lineup (we already have that in JP). We have a good enough line up we just need excellent D from that position.

[DwightDM]

Jimenez would be that guy... Excellent defensive catcher, anything he does with the bat is a bonus

 

Yup, he can't come soon enough.

[jaysfaithful8]

Everyday is JP Arencibia bobblehead day.

 

Bobblehead and bobblehands

[LOVethISTEam]

That wasn't the pop-up this team deserved, but it was the one it needed.

[kcjaysfan]

That was a very good turn around.

[Angrioter]

C'mon JPA #AllStar2014

[fatcowxlive]

Yo this guy is horribad

[jaysfaithful8]

Someone in the (allstar?) thread tried to make an argument that JP should be an allstar this year because he's leading In Dinger and RBIz

 

That sounds like JP signed up for this board. Or maybe one of his fan girls.

Stream not working.

 

Who has a backup

[Jays]

I forgot it was JP Arencibia bobbleglove day.

[BlueJayWay]

Already more XBH than they had all yesterday

[G-Snarls]

Nice

 

Bautista hard hit double

[fatcowxlive]

Haha this should be good

 

He ignored me lol, I didn't want to insult him and get blocked early on

[Jays]

obligatory #top10catcher

 

I thanked your post because I love your name.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Alright Lind

 

Enough of the chirping, start producing.

[Arkadium]

Lind is s*** now

[kcjaysfan]

f***.

[Jays]

Tough luck there.
