  • I'm alright with the 8-5 start. Hell, I would have been happy with 5-8 given our April woes the last few years. It would be nice if Grichuk wasn't so terrible at the plate right now, but most of the other guys have had some nice timely hits, including 5 guys around the .300 mark. Pitchers have done pretty well too.

      They've won their last three series, including two on the road. It's a great start.

      • 9 and 5 ...Given the weather think the Sunday game in Cleveland is likely PPD as well...
        April is tough for teams in the north east....means a couple of bullpen killing double headers against Cleveland down the road..
        Still they have won or split every series so far....

        Hernandez is up for a while and while it’s early..he adds a live bat into that mix that when JD gets well will lengthens that lineup even more......

        Again..it’s early..but the SP is good..the bullpen is good and they are scoring runs....

        Maybe we got something here

              Ahhh, yes. Forgot about AA in Atlanta. Good call. Still, the fact Bautista can only a minor league deal is nuts.

                    Nice problem for the Jays to have. The issue is that they already have 4 outfielders and lack depth in the infield with Donaldson out, so tough to keep him up. BUT..... can you send him down when he's playing this well?

                    • The BJs are intent on injecting themselves into the sports conversation around these parts for sure. With the Leafs and Raps in the playoffs at that!

                      Who woulda thunk? I was thinking a lost season. It's still early but they look like a "fun" team .... young too with more on the farm.

                        They've found a solution? Gift Ngoepe being sent down and Gurriel gets the call-up.

                        Kendrys is being activated too... wish they would ship him out. What a bust signing.

                          For sure Morales is going to catch some arrows and spears but he is in the DH role this year as the Jays manage their imbalances in the lineup with mystery injuries that land guys on the DL.....JD is coming back and if he can go ..the team has a pretty good hittin* lineup with JD...Teoscar...Travis..Morales/Pearce and the two newbies Diaz and Solarte...Granderson helps more than he hurts and Russell will too. Still not sold on Pillar as he is againreverting to undisciplined plate appearances.

                          Still.....

                          A winning April this year has hopes up...The SP looks good and the bullpen as well...

                          This is the first lost series all year in the Bronx.

                          They are in the WC hunt...

                            Atlanta Braves expect Jose Bautista to become starting third baseman soon http://nationalpost.com/wcm/c2f69e4c...4-d4e4e0183656 via @nationalpost

                            And the Braves are at the Dome June 21st I think..... Jose !

                            • 17 and 12 at the end of April..beats the hell out of last year’s start stumble and fall out of the gate.

                              Some of the Kids are already here and contributing..Teoscar and Gourdielle Jr are helping and can play at the major league level.......The season rests on Donaldson's wonky shoulder/Rotator cuff...If he can play..the jays are in the hunt for the post season....If he can’t go...The magic isn’t going to last to September.

                              • Roberto Osuna arrested on domestic violence charge.

                                Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna was arrested Tuesday morning for domestic assault, according to a police report acquired by Steve Buffery of The Toronto Sun.

                                If it's true, they better be thinking about saying bye-bye. Hopefully it's not...
