The bats are going to have to wake up to be successful in this series.

It sucks that the weather is sh*t tomorrow, it would've been nice for the roof to be open for our lone ESPN game...

I think we'll be lucky to salvage a game out of this series. The Rangers lineup is just straight up insane (even with Hamilton potentially out for the first game or so). They're going to eat Drabek and Hutch alive...not looking forward to this at all.

Who's Felix? :wink:

We have hit Harrison well before but Feliz not so much. The Darvish game is the deciding game of the series.

Don't be surprised if Davis starts against Feliz, hitting .600 against him in 5 at bats, it's better than any other current Jays hitter.

Really worried about Drabek and Hutch this series. Hopefully they prove me wrong but I foresee early exits for the both of them. Darvish will strike guys out, but hopefully we're patient with him and he gives up a good number of walks and we get him out of the game early.

Big game for Drabek, going up against a great offense that's rolling along while facing Yu Darvish.

Can't wait to see tonight's game.
I sense an AA hate thread tonight when Yu dominates us

I really hope it's a packed house for the game tonight!

Yes! We have to impress ESPN!

We'll take 2 out of 3. We just had two solid wins after rebounding from a sweep by the O's and a blown save against the M's. Look for Jose's bat to wake up.

Drake_02 · Post #14 » by **Drake_02** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:22 pm

I'm feeling sorry for Drabek and Hutchinson. I really hope we rock Darvish.

RaptorKenny · Post #15 » by **RaptorKenny** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:34 pm

It's really a win-win situation.
If we win: We can convince ourselves that Darvish was gonna be a crap signing anyways
If Darvish dominates us: The media and fans will be all over Rogers/AA tomorrow for not signing big FAs in the offseason. Puts more pressure (for a few days at least) on ownership/front office to start acquiring talent

Going to the game tonight and on Wednesday, so here's to hoping that we take a few (if not all of them!)

A series win might bring hope to the season.

And hopefully the first post in that thread mentions that he got Rasmus and KJ for a bunch of scrubs and relief pitchers, and the thread will be locked.
