outsider13 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I looked up team stats and the Jays are in the top 5 in very many offensive categories, but average overall in all pitching categories.This is the exact opposite of last year where their pitching was really strong but they couldn't hit a beachball.Considering though where there pitching "should" be according to critics, i think it's a huge accomplishment to be where they are.

serge 904 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 We are awesome..We are killing the ball, except for Rios who went back to back 0 for 5.The pitching isnt as bad as could be. Romero and Richmond have looked good , and Purcey has the right stuff to be a great pitcher.Imagine the rotation next year with Marcum and Mcgowan. If we can keep Doc, this team is going to be a powerhouse for a few years.We are 8-3 , but as Dan Shulman said yesterday, its only 11 games. Equivalent of one game in the NFL.But it sure is fun.

rcgs59 15 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Love Cito back at the Helm. He was always the best at bat instruction. I can feel a great season ahead. Those games against the Twins were awesome just worried about keeping the pitchers healthy. Link to post Share on other sites

rcgs59 15 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ok Chrozzo and I decided on a bet Jays vs Yankee's. total wins vs each other for the sersis Jays VS at homeTue May 12 NY Yankees 7:07 Wed May 13 NY Yankees 7:07 Thur May 14 NY Yankees 7:07 Jays awayFri July 3 @ NY Yankees 1:05 Sat July 4 @ NY Yankees 1:05 Sun July 5 @ NY Yankees 1:05 Mon July 6 @ NY Yankees 1:05 Jays at homeTue Aug 4 NY Yankees 7:07 Wed Aug 5 NY Yankees 7:07 Jays away Mon Aug 10 @ NY Yankees 7:05 Tue Aug 11 @ NY Yankees 7:05 Wed Aug 12 @ NY Yankees 1:05 Jays homeThur Sept 3 NY Yankees 7:07 Fri Sept 4 NY Yankees 7:07 Sat Sept 5 NY Yankees 1:07 Sun Sept 6 NY Yankees 1:07 Jays awayTue Sept 15 @ NY Yankees 7:05 Wed Sept 16 @ NY Yankees 7:05 The Loser is to buy the Winner a beer for every game Won over the sersis so it will be a good drunk for the winner. The bet to be settled at the end of the season when we get together most likely 2010 FCP meet up or at 2009's WPT NAPC Niagara Falls So I am In for this.

GO JAYS!LOL, the last time I checked the Blue Jays weren't a playoff team either. Let's all just relax.this. the jays haven't made the playoffs in a while iirc. wait till you guys face the good teams. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 following the jays on a daily basis for many years and 2 things usually happen. The bats heat up and the pitching goes south they lose 9-8 games or the pitching heats up and the bats go south they lose 3-1 games. So far this year the opposite has happened everyone knows the bats will cool off its a matter of them winning these 3-1 games and getting the quality starts at the right time. The bullpen is solid and the batting lineup is solid I thought we might be weak in the 1-2 slot but Hill and Scutaro have been better than average. The starting five is thin though Doc is the best and most consistant pitcher in the league (just look at the numbers) and Romero might be a pleasant surprise (I love ground ball contact pitchers they keep the game moving and last longer than KO pitchers) but the 3,4,5 slots are horrible. The Jays will need Marcum back soon I think he will be back in May hopefully with the control on his slider and his fastball in the 90's. If Dusty wasn't out for the year I would be happy with the starting 4 but right now they only have 2 major league worthy starters. Purcey would have been sent down if we had a worthy replacement.
