According to Shi Dividi's twitter, the rotation going forward is:

Reyes / Romero (depending on whether Romero pitches in ASG)
Villanueva
Reyes / Romero
Morrow
Cecil

I'm actually surprised to see Villanueva go so early as I was expecting the Jays to start limiting his innings.

It's too early to limit anyones innings, mid august at the earliest.

Jo-Jo Reyes against a team that isn't inept with the bats? That never seems to happen.

Will definitely be at the Dome on Thursday/Friday. Not expecting a win in either game, but these divisional match-ups are always fun, especially against the Yanks.

We got this.

Yeah, hopefully this team turned a corner during the Cleveland Series.

Reyes pitching the first game out of the break is such a buzzkill.

these retro graphics and lettering on the telecast are awesome!

Going to the game Sunday as well; was excited when I read here that it should be Morrow pitching (was in the building last year against the Rays for his 17k near-no no). ESPN is saying it's Villa Sunday and Morrow tomorrow, Any idea who's more right?

I don't mind the retro look but I wish they kept the score bug.

Damn. Thanks, but damn.

Ah well - if (statistically insignificant) history holds, Villa's going to throw a gem on Sunday. Morrow's K-fest last year and my birthday game the year before that had what was thought to possibly be Halladay's last start as he made very short work (2:13, if I remember) of the Red Sox leading to a "They didn't play all 9, did they?" comment from my fiancee.

On another note - that's awesome - the wall signage is in 80's style as well. Good stuff.

Man, the control and confidence Snider has with that bat now makes all of the frustration a couple months back worth it.

Good to see, let's chase Fatolo quickly.
