Not so fast--Archer's struggled in Durham this year. Despite a 3.97 ERA and a 10.3 K/9IP ratio, he's had trouble with command, with spikes in his hit and HR rate.
-
Tricep injury. Just when the Rays were on a run-this could be deflating for them.
-
And how about Vernon Wells? 10 HRs already! He's looking like a Comeback player of the year--Angels should NEVER have traded him.
-
Phil Hughes got mauled vs. the Mariners--already out of the game after 0.2 IP, giving up 7 ER(including a grand slam by Raul Ibanez!). Won't be much of a benefit to the Jays.. Yanks will likely have Brett Marshall eat innings. However, the Yanks play tomorrow--better hope Pettite pitches deep tomorrow, or it's going to be a long weekend for the Yankees, especially considering how hot the Jays are.

Post Game Thread: May 14, 2013. Toronto 10 - 6 Giants

Bet Lincoln gets optioned for an OF(Sierra?) after this outing. -
Better give Matt Moore some All-Star votes(if pitchers were voted).. he's 7-0!
-
Well, Boston, Cleveland and Baltimore lost.. so we gain ground.
-
Ok--but if they're in between, it still puts them on pace for an 80-win season, which is what I expected for Boston. They've still got a ways to go in their rebuild. By the way, some of their good things: Victorino hitting, Ortiz hitting, Pedroia hitting, Napoli hitting for power. Lester and Buchholz leading the pitching staff. The bad: Ellsbury hitting .256 and not hitting for average. Gomes is a free agent bust(.185 avg), Middlebrooks has regressed(31% K rate, .201 avg), Napoli strikes out too much despite his power (3rd highest in Ks in the MLB, and has struggled in May), no real closer until Bailey returns. Issues in the rotation after Lester Buchholz, and Dempster, as Doubront has been awful, Lackey has been questionable, and none of their AAA arms are MLB ready(Aceves is trash, Webster is not MLB ready.) Sorry for the lack of good news--but Boston's May has been terrible. Likely it's a regression to the .500 team that was expected in Boston.
-
Jim Johnson blows a save vs. the Padres on a single by Chris Denorfia. Could've been worse had Jedd Gyorko not GIDP.. it's 3-2 Padres.
-
Tampa Bay continues its comeback.. hitting Lackey hard in the 4th. 5-3 Tampa Bay at the end of 4. Looks like Boston's strong start was a fluke--they're still the same team that went 69-93.
-
Oh well.. but a 6-0 lead really helps! Now Dickey just needs to pitch well.
-
Why haven't the Giants gone to the pen yet??? 6 runs already given up.. Zito won't get out of this inning at this rate. Gaudin warming up.
-
Better get that bullpen going.. Zito's not going to last long at the rate he's going.. and SF's defense has been terrible already. And this is a 1st place team?
-
Now if anybody could beat the Yankees...who just swept Kansas City.
-
15.2 K/9IP. And with Rogers stinking it up, you could see Carreno here sooner than later.. Rogers just probably earned a DFA after this outing.
-
With a 0.98 ERA in AA, he should be up here.. he'd be an upgrade over Rogers.
-
Likely soon--McGowan's due back within a week or two(depending on the rehab), Santos will likely be back soon as well.
-
Time to DFA him--we've got McGowan and Santos due back soon.
-
Michael Brantley hit a game-tying single off of him to tie the game. Now let's see if the Indians bullpen can force extras..
-
Wei Yen Chen is heading for the DL--he suffered an oblique strain. Bit of a blow to the Orioles pitching staff. We probably won't see him when the Orioles come in about a week and a half.
-
Not to mention Jordan Lyles was pounded for 8 ER vs. the Rangers as well.
-
Edgar Gonzalez was garbage in Toronto--he's even worse in Houston. He's given up 2 HR and 4 runs on 5 hits in 1 inning. Of course, Jordan Lyles was even worse, giving up 8 runs. Texas leads 12-1.
-
The real question is, what will their OF look like when Granderson returns? Wells or Ichiro have to sit(Gardner's staying in CF), Francisco will be DFA'd.
-
Rajai Davis on DL, call up RHP Chad Jenkins

Blame the schedule makers. It just doesn't make sense--we only play 4 games this week, 2 at home, then back on the road to New York(again), then home series vs. the Rays and Orioles(I have tickets to the O's game) -
Does anything ever go wrong for the Yankees?? Yet another W and another save for Mariano Rivera. Meanwhile, Baltimore is losing to the same Minnesota team Boston got clobbered by.
