Norris held Tampa Bay to one run and set career highs with seven strikeouts and seven innings Saturday, but a paltry offensive showing and a faltering bullpen left him still seeking his second career win after the Blue Jays' 4-2 loss. He's received four runs of support over 14 2-3 innings after getting five in a victory in his season debut. Regardless of the lack of a decision, it was an impressive bounce-back performance after the left-hander surrendered a personal-worst four earned runs in 2 2-3 innings of a 5-2 loss to Atlanta. The Blue Jays had three hits and have 12 runs and 26 hits in the last five losses. The rotation has posted a 6.88 ERA over the last six games Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson will be someone to watch throughout the four-game series, as he's a career .338 (26-for-77) hitter with four home runs and 20 RBIs in 20 games against the Indians. Indians: TJ House is trying to avoid a fourth straight loss after allowing 14 runs, 17 hits and nine walks in 10 innings. The left-hander has been especially disappointing since he went 3-0 with a 1.45 ERA over his final five outings in 2014. House's .421 opponent batting average on balls in play suggests his early struggles have been at least partly due to bad luck, though. Right-handed hitters are 16 for 38 against him with 14 singles. Cleveland snapped a four-game losing streak Wednesday with its second home victory, 7-5 over Kansas City. Roberto Perez and Michael Bourn were a combined 5 for 7 at the bottom of the lineup, and Jason Kipnis hit his first home run in 68 games. David Murphy was 11 for 23 with nine RBIs in six games last season against the Blue Jays, who have won three of four series in Cleveland. Carlos Santana has always hit well against the Blue Jays with a .298 average (31-for-104) with five homers and 14 RBIs Standings: http://i.imgur.com/2RMY9cF.png Venue: http://i.imgur.com/JiR2Nl1.png http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/Diag/JacobsField.gif LETS GO BLUE JAYS!! #WETHENORTH #COMETOGETHER #LOVethISTEam
baubau Verified Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Poor Smoak. He'll never get in this lineup.
Frenchsoup Verified Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Poor Smoak. He'll never get in this lineup. If they dl'ed Bautista as they should have we wouldn't be having this problem....
glory Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 If Bautista can't play the OF, then put him on the DL so his injury has a chance to heal. This organization is so clueless.
baubau Verified Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I'd even sit Eddy for a game or two. He has not hit well and honestly wondering if his back is a concern still. Probably not ideal for him to be stretching all over the place at 1B. Meh, oh well. Gibby/Team knows more than I do to make that decision.
gruber92 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I like our line up vs the LHP. The Indians have FIVE LHH in their line up, Norris should have a quality start tonight.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Welcome to Howie's Crack House. Everyone who comes gets a hit
Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Lets Go Blue Jays!!!!!!!

jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Good chance of a win tonight. TJ House is the worst pitcher in the MLB right now (Wade Miley of the Red Sox is not far behind). And let's not forget the craptacular defense of the Indians..

NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 how could you do this to us You have no excuse not to IL him after that.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Valencia RF? Goddammit I love it!!
BTS Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 It's kind of amazing how quickly everything flew off the rails. Tolleson to short, Goins to the OF, Valencia to the OF. Guys playing out of position everywhere.
CJ-Freeway Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Let's go Jays!! Let's crush this scrub
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 We going to able to get the game in tonight? Fan Duel weather seems to think so...but the pregame show on sportsnet didn't seem so optimistic.
Laika Community Moderator Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 TJ House is junk! I've got $500 on Toronto tonight. The real question is not who will win, it is how much will the Jays win by?
closetjaysfan Verified Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Good god. Imagine that Zaun had Gibbons job... that logic
Daniel Labude Jays Centre Contributor Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 This series could define our season
Atothe Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 TJ House is junk! I've got $500 on Toronto tonight. The real question is not who will win, it is how much will the Jays win by? Whats the line?
JaysFan4Ever Verified Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Time for the Jays to get a winning streak started. Win some games outside the division to get the ball rolling.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Whats the line? Toronto is a fav. 1.69

Damn, $500? You're crazy lol I remember losing $150 on the Cards a few years ago.. it was a late inning meltdown too. Pretty depressing stuff
