Headed to the game today and excited to see Alvarez pitch. The Jays generally fare well against Beckett so hopefully they can kick off this series with a win.

For those of you that attend games often, what's the best deal for parking around the dome?

If Morrow and Romero have respectable outings, a split is quite reasonable.

I pray for Alvarez. A quality start would be wonderful.

McGowan is back, still sporting the stupid mutton chops. With Cecil and Arencibia (JPA an honorary member because his kind of drift into full stubble), McGowan could form batteries for a 1900 throwback team.

He's available as of Tuesday and will get to throw a clean inning before anything more is considered.

Good test for Alvarez today.

Looking forward to see McGowan as well.

Good to see McGowan back, I hope he gets an appearance in a easy situation instead of closing a 1 run game in the 9th or something.

Farrell and Thames are also back.

Their is a 10 dollar parking lot not too far from the ACC I believe, it's so cheap because people usually miss the entrance.

Yeah. But the last outing by Alvarez was actually great so I'm hoping he'll be able to string together another quality outing after that.

And I'm also hoping that Romero finally has a good start against the Red Sox, the team he regularly underperforms against.

Wait a second every scouting report I've ever read has said that the slider is good and the change needs work..... right?? Good old Buck forgetting to read the scouting report.

Pitchers duel.

**** ump is squeezing Alvarez while giving Beckett the same exact pitches. **** off

Ridiculous, crazy movement on that last pitch. Wow.

I guess you mean that 2-seam fastball by Alvarez that looked like it was going too inside then curved back just clipping inside of the plate. Cause that was a rediculous pitch.

I don't think he will start this year, and next year he would have to win a spot.

They said he will pitch from the bullpen for now.
