Quintana vs Garcia is an awesome ex player matchup

Can't wait til Michael Kay gets to remind Yankees fans about Quintana.

Or Phil Rogers.

 

 

 

 

The Blue Jays had yet another starter get hurt last night, with Henderson Alvarez leaving the game against Boston due to a sore elbow. He’s expected to avoid the DL, but the Jays already have three of his rotationmates there: Brandon Morrow (oblique), Kyle Drabek (elbow) and Drew Hutchinson (elbow).

 

Now comes word today that Nestor Molina, the top prospect the Jays parted with to get Sergio Santos (also injured) from the White Sox over the winter, has been placed on the DL at Double-A Birmingham with an elbow injury. His status is uncertain, but it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he misses a big chunk of the season.

 

FOXSports.com’s Jon Paul Morosi recently wrote a glowing article on the Blue Jays’ young arms, taking shots at Oakland’s 2002 “Moneyball draft” in the process. The Jays now employ more area scouts than any team in the league, and it might well be helping them identify talent other clubs have missed.

So is this implying that the Blue Jays are doing something to cause all of these injuries? The implication, or maybe it's my inferring, are not quite clear to me.

Either that or drafting players with iffy mechanics.

Chris Sale, an excellent candidate to start All-Star Game for AL, has about 95 IP this season. Career high (college, pro) is 136.

That's only true if you don't count the Cape Cod League.

With Garcia now pitching in relief for Yankees, AAA guy Adam Warren a possible starter vs. #WhiteSox on Friday.

Which means no All-Star appearance.

Sale will get an extra day of rest before his next start Tuesday vs. Texas. Lined up to pitch first-half finale vs. Toronto.

Which means no All-Star appearance.

That's clearly deliberate.

I'm both happy and sad at that...

I'd love to see the recognition, but at the same time, why waste the innings?

PREACH RANGER!

Your team kicks the snot out of the Twins today, is 2.5 games up, and the most important thing to you is Will Ohman. You're doing it wrong.

No way man, we doing it right. Never being satisfied and always being a perfectionist and always focusing on the one thing that went wrong is how you get better.

Zach Stewart and Will Ohman off this pitching staff in the same week. It's all good.

The kid deserves some national attention. This team gets almost none. If he wasn't starting, maybe like an inning would be nice.

 

Whatever, he'll still be named an All-Star and get to go to KC so that'll be nice for him.

This is the best Alex Rios we've seen. There might be something to his relationship with Ozzie.

Ozzie actually stood up for him last year. Rios almost came to blows with KW. It appears when Alex Rios is interested in being a good player, he plays like a good player. The key is keeping him interested in that all the time.

Some how I doubt he stood up for Rios, but more did it to screw with Kenny.

Kinda liking Jordan Danks..... Dayan needs to produce or we may have a replacement waiting in the wings I know he's young, but it appears he assumes he has the position locked up. What is Tanks stats the last week or so?

4-0 Rangers over Tigers, aww yeah son

 

Viciedo seems like the guy who strikes out the second most on this team after Dunn. I wish he saw the ball a little better...

From the Tribune:

 

But manager Robin Ventura didn't rule out rearranging the rotation if Sale is named Sunday to the AL squad.

He's got a good poker face.

7-2 Rangers

 

We gained ground on our top two rivals today. Thank you, Twins

So I missed today's game, any chance they still have them ON DEMAND (Comcast) ?

7-2 Rangers

7-5 Rangers, 5th inning. Long way to go.

10-5 rangers
