Notes:

 

Jays:

• Stroman's first start this month lasted a season-low three innings, during which he allowed five runs, in a 6-1 loss at Houston on Aug. 3. The right-hander then worked nine in a 3-2, 10-inning victory over Detroit on Saturday, failing to get a decision after allowing two runs and four hits on 109 pitches.
  
• Toronto's starting pitchers have a decent 4.40 ERA in August, but the lineup has batted .236 with 104 strikeouts, 30 runs and 103 men left on base.
  The Blue Jays are also suffering through a power drought with five home runs this month after hitting 134 in their first 110 games. Toronto had gone deep 18 times in its first 14 after the All-Star break, posting an 11-3 mark in that span.
  

 

Tigers:

• Noesi's most recent outing was arguably his best of the season. He held Seattle - his former team - to one run over 7 1-3 innings in a 2-1 win Saturday and didn't allow a homer for the first time in five starts.
  
• Chicago is returning home from a 2-4 trip that ended with a frustrating 7-1 loss to San Francisco on Wednesday. The Giants scored all their runs in the seventh after a replay overturned an out call at home.
  
• The White Sox have lost 30 games this season after holding a lead, the third-highest total in the Major Leagues behind Texas (36) and Toronto (31)

[o2cui2i]

Go Jays.... not going to be up for this one. hope it's a good watch tomorrow.

[Horses Fart]

Must sweep this series. No excuses! Although I got a feeling Noesi will look like a Cy Young pitcher after tonight. Fingers x'd that he don't. :-/

[Atothe]

Abreu with 5 home runs

[bronson44]

Edwin with 6 HR

Norris doesn't throw mid-high 90s Wilner lol.

Norris doesn't throw mid-high 90s Wilner lol.

 

People get "he touches" and "he sits at" confused far too often

[Orgfiller]

On another note, I f***ing love our lineup with Lind and EE in it.

Has he even hit 97 or 98 when reaching back? I know from what I've read that he sits at 91-94 and occasionally hits 95, does he even reach high 90's multiple times a game?

I would too if the years of disappointment hadn't emotionally detached me.

 

Yeahh, it's that time of year again.

I feel like I've read that he's hit 97 but I have no idea. Could be wrong.

[Rajais Mitten]

Time to turn this ship around lets do this!!!

[jake]

Could the toronto media Hype EE's return any more? He's one player. If he lays an egg tonight fans may be jumping off of buildings

[Atothe]

Daniel Norris as closer and Sanchez at 2nd base

[Inklink]

Now that's a lineup. Imagine Lawrie's bat in there somewhere.

[GD]

Nice hit Reyes.

[jays76]

Let the good times roll, Jays last kick starts tonight.

[Inklink]

Do I hear "JOSE JOSE JOSE" and "Let's go Blue Jays?"

[JaysFan4Ever]

Reyes hits one hard that didn't find a glove! It seemed like Reyes had a glove magnet in some of those hit balls at times.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Come on EE! Let's see that sweet swing we've missed for all these weeks!

[Inklink]

Let's go Edwin.

[Orgfiller]

Let's go Edwin!!!

[jays76]

Hopefully Eddy returns with a BANG!

[JaysFan4Ever]

Homer swing right there!

[Inklink]

I am wearing an Oswaldo Arcia shirsey, though. How many people can say they own an Oswaldo Arcia shirsey?

 

Probably doesn't have one himself.

Gibby's cap moves when he's chewing.
