Big series this weekend

[pickoff22]

Looking towards this weekend and am hoping the magic continues. I suppose a series split against the O's would be acceptable, but man it would be sweet to pick up a series win.

 

Thursday

TOR: Buehrle (10-2, 2.04)

BAL: Gausman (1-1, 4.91)

 

Friday

TOR: Hutchison (4-4, 3.96)

BAL: Jimenez (2-7, 5.01)

 

Saturday

TOR: Dickey (6-4, 4.20)

BAL: Norris (5-5, 3.94)

 

Sunday

TOR: Happ (5-2, 4.12)

BAL: Tillman (5-2, 5.20)

 

 

The first two games would appear to be our best shot. Buerhle's been a stud all year and although Jays don't always fare well against rookie pitchers hopefully we can score a few off Gausman. And with Hutch on the mound in a road start against Jimenez I have to feel good about Friday's game.

 

The next two would appear to be tougher but if we can grab the first two we'll be in a great spot.

 

So weird being a Jay's fan and looking ahead to series that actually mean something!

I'll be very happy with a split. 4 games off the schedule with the O's under pressure to gain the ground.

I think gausman will own us.

I feel as though that's the usual Jay's fan mindset thinking failure's the likely outcome (and I can't help but think that as well) but this team deserves credit for beating some very good pitchers this year. Gausman had one bad start and one good one. No reason we can't knock him around enough to pick up the win

I'm not scared of the Os. We'll win the series

Bud Norris is good at pitching

He ain't shabby. Both he and Dickey can be bad, good or great on any given day.

Bud Norris is slightly below average at pitching

[Sammy225]

Nothing about the O's pitching should concern anyone here. Should more or less worry about their offense against our pitching. However when push comes to shove i prefer our offense to theirs.

[Anemic0ffense]

Of course a sweep or 3 of 4 is preferable, but a split is acceptable. They gain no ground in that case. The Jays just have to avoid playing like last night. The defense in the ninth inning especially has to get better.

I'm expecting no less than 55 runs combined between the two teams this series.

[flafson]

I'm afraid of Tillman, he tends to play well against us.

Hoping for series win but will be happy as long as we earn a split

[Atothe]

Not really. First start he was okay, second start terrible. He's bad overall

[G-Snarls]

I think gausman will own us.

 

I am no longer satisfied with splits. I want 3/4. Anything less is disappointing to me.

Just imagine the Blue Jays had this mentality. We'd be in last place.

Or about .500 and in a 3 team race of mediocracy with NY and Baltimore.

[JugglingPitches]

Imagine if we somehow swept this. The O's would be crushed and it might send them into a spiral.

Imagine they sweep the Jays? Half this board would be ready to cut themselves.

Lets worry about winning this series against the twins before we start talking about sweeping baltimore.

LOL. Actually if the O,s win one I expect some blood to be spilled in the GDT . They will want to DFA half the lineup. Think I'll take the weekend off the GDT and just enjoy the games.

GDT's are too insane for me. I stay away from that.

Yeah the GDT's are pretty sad considering how emotional people get.

[TheBoneCollector]

I am a bit worried about the series, the team seems to be going on a downturn at the worst time, but we have a cushion, hope they sweep, would be awesome.

[SAAviour]

As I said, happy with the split!
