Okay, Berrios needs some quick innings now.

Hmm....could have come home with that.

Hopefully we get to Kluber early.

FLA, not surprised.

Blue Jays Look for Big Homestand The Blue Jays are currently in the midst of a crucial eight-game home stand playing exclusively Boston and Tampa Bay, two division rivals in very similar positions in the AL East. After taking two of three from the Red Sox and capturing the series opener on Thursday, Toronto has a golden opportunity to create some separation in the AL East as the eye a daunting climb upwards towards New York. The Blue Jays have a very dangerous offense that ranks 7th overall averaging a shade over 4.75 runs per contest. They own the league's 3rd highest team batting average at .257 and rank 4th with a .325 team OBP. Vladimir Guerrero Jr leads the team with 18 home runs and 46 RBIs but there are no shortage of power options in this deep lineup. Starter Yusei Kikuchi gave the Jays six strong innings and was helped out by two home runs in a 4-1 win. Toronto pitching has been vulnerable at times this season with the club ranking just 20th overall with a slightly inflated 4.06 team ERA. It has been a struggle for Jose Berrios who has battled inconsistency all year. He enters with a 5-4 record but a bloated 5.84 ERA over 15 starts. He was torched his last time out against Milwaukee yielding eight earned runs while lasting just 2.2 innings. It was his second rocky outing in a row after he was lit up by the White Sox back on 6/20.

JAYS WIN! Thank God we're not playing at the trop.

Couple of good things from the youtube broadcast: Good player interviews during games. The one with Gausman was very good (he sang the praises of Kirk). George Springer mic'd up during the game. During the longer ab's they show a graphic of the the pitch sequence with corresponding velo's.

He moved off the plate a bit to achieve this and now the league has caught on. Don't know what his next evolution will be.

Espi answers.

Thornton got out of it. I will happily eat my sentiment.

Brujan is like a rabbit out there.

He's hit balls out of the infield, unless you meant something else.

They hit some balls hard off Kuch in the 5th and Chapman saved him here in 6th. No way he comes out in the 7th unless Charlie....

Chappy does it again.

Any fresh arms left in the pen after last night? Do we get the Romo show tonight?

He's had 12 hits, they're not all infield singles.

I picked Moreno in the hr contest for the first time tonight thinking he might be able to pull a Yarborough 75mph pitch. Oh well.

Like I say to my kids, "ignore my advice at your peril".

Kuch making good use of his change up this game. Of course you have to be able to throw a fastball for strikes to do that.

Hitting Kirk 3rd and Vladdy 4th should be looked at.

Yes Bo!
