Notes:

 

Jays:

• Norris faced the Rays in his second start of the season and pitched well, allowing two earned runs on two hits in five innings. The 21-year-old lefty was roughed up in his last outing, however, yielding four earned runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves.
  
• Travis continues his torrid start for the Blue Jays, with a team-leading five home runs and 16 RBIs. His .375 batting average is tops among Blue Jays regulars. The rookie second baseman has eight hits in 19 at-bats against Rays pitching on the season, with a double, two home runs and five RBIs.
  

 

Rays:

• Ramirez was roughed up by the Blue Jays in his only start of the season, surrendering eight earned runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings at Rogers Center. Jose Bautista homered off the Rays' right-hander, with Kevin Pillar and Devon Travis each collecting run-scoring doubles.
  
• The Rays' bullpen has performed brilliantly during the past five games, allowing two earned runs and seven hits in 18 2/3 innings with 17 strikeouts.

[JaysAllMighty]

Decent lineup tonight.

 

Go Jays Go!

[theblujay]

[Daniel Labude]

Go Blue Jays!!!!!!

 

Let's get back on track tonight.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

When is the last time the Jays had this good of defensive outfield? Pompey, Saunders and Pillar?

[jays4life19]

We really need this one. Tough match up tomorrow.

[Sparky12]

Pillar really in centre?

[Jimcanuck]

Pillar really in centre?

 

Sadly, yes

 

Also, Norris needs to rebound or his confidence will be in tatters

[IBTrini]

Pillar really in centre?

I really do not understand the philosophy behind switching players from their regular position (Pompey in CF) unless they are showcasing someone. Are there any rumours or is there another reason for making a move like this?

[Angrioter]

Its now or never for Norris

[Daniel Labude]

Its now or never for Norris

 

Needs a great game tonight.

if you miss Friday, then you can use saturday as a make up day and be both drunk and naked, but we find that sarcasm free sunday and being drunk simple doesn't work together.

[Inklink]

Trop turf looks like crap.

[Inklink]

Fk off Reyes.

[Inklink]

[Angrioter]

If Ramirez beat us I'll eat my favourite goat.

[dineke]

Can't they just let Reyes rest instead of employing a trash can at the top of the line-up.

[Inklink]
