JD wanted that one back. Right on top of that one.

Let's go Donaldson!

I'll take a 3-0 head start. Now let's hope Sanchez can hold it.

Martin fought it off long enough and earned that hit.

Right by Bautista.

Travis is a hitting machine!

I cringed when Reyes slid into the bag thinking right into the injured rib.

Base hit for Reyes! So, far, so good.

Looks like they're getting ready to play.

Oh good ole #1 pick Russ Adams.

It says rain delay but isn't really raining, more like a sprinkle with the game expected to begin at 6:40 PM. BoSox starter was heading out to the pen already.

Can't blame the organization. He was as good as gone after this year anyway. He was listed as being on the DL in AA so no chance he was going to be back in the bigs with the Jays unless he had a miraculous recovery and/or the pitching the Jays had ahead of him completely fell apart. I'm sure he tried to work his way back up since he was a fairly good starter, then an All Start, then had some injury issues. He probably would wanted to prove the critics wrong and get back on the 40 man roster, and show he was more than a waste. But like mentioned, he probably will catch on elsewhere and wind up an Ace lol That always seems to happen with the Jays. A player falls from grace or stays injured/doesn't produce, is let go, winds up a decent or better player elsewhere. But seeing as he's 30 now it's going to be tough. But as often said in baseball "if you're left handed and breathing you have a chance." If another club doesn't pick him up, he could go to the independent leagues and see if he can still pitch. Someone might take a flyer on him. It seems like he fell apart physically and mentally at the same time since it wasn't reported he had any major (ie TJS) type injuries just nagging leg/knee issues. I wish him the best. I hate seeing players have to end their careers injured. That being said, he made millions, had some good years with the club, so better than many have done or could have done. Not a surprise he was going to be let go. How else would he have taken it? Get mad and stomp his feet? He knew he had a snowball's chance making the Jays again and was injured so he'd stand a better chance elsewhere. Watch him wind up in San Diego's organization.

I'm betting he gets claimed by some team but it would be nice if he can make it through waivers, head to Buffalo and be there for depth.

Not many are capable of playing the OF the way Pillar has started this year.

It's funny how things like that work out. The Baseball Gods are having their fun again.

True, they handed TB a few runs tonight. Almost literally.

They couldn't have gone to the scrap heap and gotten someone to fill in as a 4th OF until Saunders was back? No, we'll just have 3 true OF and stick Tolleson and Goins out there, hell maybe if he didn't pull a hammy Navarro could go out there. Ugh.

WTF WAS THAT?! Why do we NOT have a true back up OF?! f***ing A!

So, what will be Dickey's excuse for this game? He had everything in his favour so....just say you sucked tonight?

This is where the redundant Tolleson comes in without having a true 4th OF. He's made some bad plays out there when Valencia is the back up IF we could use along with Goins if needed.

Well, this became embarrassing.

f*** you, Buck for jinxing it. f*** you Dickey for giving up more runs.

Close pick off.

So, again, why is Thole in the game vs a lefty? Strike out, weak grounder.

Damn it, that was a nice catch.
