Nice start!

stay out of the DP get that pitch count up!

I really hope we can run the pitch count up early

Cleveland has 3 video review guys? How many do we have?

Id just as well have barney pitch again in that situation. Saves a roster spot.

I would think that the clubhouse drama would have to be titanically bad to ignore how much Donldson has done for the team

and if Cleveland chose to change their mascot/logo to a caricature of someone from India... then what?

So who starts the next game? We going with Stroman or back to Estrada?

I'd much rather play the Indians in a 7 game series. Their starting pitching is beat all to s***. On top of that, we have a bunch of their former coaches and front office people working for us now.

My thoughts on this: - Im glad he was charged and that there was a lot of public scrutiny for the general deterrent factor alone. My kid was watching that game, what lesson does he learn if Pagan isnt humiliated and criminally sanctioned? - i dont buy for a second his "I had a cup excuse". First, the police wouldnt have charged him if all they had was the blown up broadcast point of view (a la youtube). They are obviously relying on the security camera footage. Second, if you look at his cup it was obviously just poured (has at least an inch of head on the beer). This is consistent with having just poured over a can into a plastic cup leaving a mostly empty can in your non-cup hand. What I expect happened is that he had no intention of actually throwing it at Kim and was simply pissed (and likely drunk) lobbed the can in the air, which carried into the field. Not enough for an assault but enough for a mischief. - This guy will probably lose his job too, at least in it's current form. How can you be a sports writer and be banned from Rogers venues for life?

Bautista 1 Odor 0

looks safe

If you didnt know better you would think it was the rangers broadcast

What would be really nice is if we could decimate their BP in the first game

oh things are really coming apart... starting to believe in karma

f*** yeah pour it on!

Yessssssssssssss! Better than i ever hoped for the 3rd inning game 1.

Damnit

that was bad

Talking during the anthem... thats great, lets just hang the flag upside down again and sing oh christmas tree

Assault in Canada does not require physical contact. s. 265 of the criminal code states that a person commits assault when: ( he attempts or threatens, by an act or a gesture, to apply force to another person, if he has, or causes that other person to believe on reasonable grounds that he has, present ability to effect his purpose He could also be charged with 267(a) assault with a weapon. If the Crown Prosecutor's office proceeds by indictment (instead of summarily), he would not be eligible for a conditional sentence under 742.1. If that charge were to result in a conviction, he could go to jail . http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-265.html http://stephenjackcriminallawyer.ca/assault-faqs/ ^ random website that explains assault found with a quick google search... no idea who the lawyer is.

The reality is that our situation is equatable to a "first world problem" where an abundance of solid starting pitching means just about any rotation will do. Sanchez is unarguably (unless you are tercet) our best option, but not by that much. The spread between our 2-5 is so marginal that rest becomes the biggest factor. The fact that we have to bench Liriano after how well he has pitched just speaks to the balance we have among our starters. They could have flipped Estrada and Happ. I can imagine that it would be tough to face his "bugs bunny" change up one night and a hard thrower the next.

I can see the Jays making money off this deal. For an extra x$ you can get a Edwin Parrot stylized collector cup with your beer.

The can that was thrown last night was open, you can see the beer flying out of it.
