Oh man our defense!!

[BarkatToronto]

Some one is going to get hurt like this

[closetjaysfan]

amazing that it is still 2-2

[BarkatToronto]

How did Hendricks get a quality start. Shocking just shocking

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Defense has been ridiculous.

 

Gibby took a risk in throwing Hendriks back out there and it miraculously paid off.

[8D]

why is lawrie so hestitant to play 2B again? he's more than athletic enough to play the position at a very high level

[bowld]

Time for the bats to wake up. only 3 hits thus far

[G-Snarls]

Ummm... What's that line about great defense making mediocre pitching look good?

 

Yeah, I see what they mean

[Daniel Labude]

Best defensive game of the year!

[Angrioter]

Lawrie play was Goins-esque

[awsomest]

They can make a movie about this team.

 

payrollparametersball staring seth rogan as AA

[Chappy]

Time for the bats to wake up. only 3 hits thus far

 

Jays have 6.

Cause he is on red bulls and wants to rely on reaction plays.

[Angrioter]

Hendricks is pitching for 7 or 8 ER.

[Convo]

He belongs at 3B. If he wants to excel there he should play there and only there. But everyone agrees this (splitting time at 2B) is the right thing to do for now.

[bowld]

Jays have 6.

 

My bad. Too much wine with dinner and read the Rays totals on the scoreboard. LOL

[Trouba95]

Let's go bats.

[Bunchedundies]

Amazed Hendricks is still in the game.

[BigCecil]

SICK D tonight Jays! awesome

[Convo]

f***... Francisco

[Chappy]

Hendriks needs to throw a few more off speed pitches. Navarro doesn't call enough fastballs with Hutch who has a good one and calls too many with Hendriks who has a mediocre one.

[NorthOf49]

Have you even seen his xFIP?

Thank you. He's pitching like a #3 starter.

 

Even if some of the deep flies were doubles or triples, he'd still be able to strand 70% of those runners. Not walking anyone has helped his cause a lot too. Defense has been great but Hendriks is doing his part.

[Angrioter]

If the wall was 3 centimeters closer this game would be 20-2

[Trouba95]

Take pitches...jesus. We need to get Archer out, not keep him in for an inning or two longer.

[BarkatToronto]

If Tampa wants to move Chris Archer, I'd take him on for sure

[Bunchedundies]

Jays chasing a lot tonight.

[Convo]

Damnit...

Unfortunately, he was being sarcastic. But a decent amount of K's and no walks is promising, like you said, only 10% of flyballs should be homeruns, lol @ people saying he's lucky not to have given up 4 or 5.

[Convo]

If Tampa wants to move Chris Archer, I'd take him on for sure

 

Why on earth.........

[Candy Maldonado]

Buckholz on the DL is bad news?
