Wow. I never even bothered to look at the standings for a week or so. Man, if Farrell knew how to manage a bullpen, the Jays might be where the Orioles are in the standings right now, injuries and all.

Crazy how we're only just 2.5 GB from a wildcard spot...feels as if we should be 5+ back. With the Yankees/Rays beating up on each other this week and the Orioles beginning their fall back down to reality, we have to take advantage. IMO, anything less than 3 out of 4 this series is going to be a disappointment.

We need a sweep, but Coco will blow one of the games..

This is how I and almost every Jays fan feels but Wilner came to his defence.

Wilner is just trolling

Wilner just proved that Coco is effective in non-pressure situations.

He's just cherry picking stats from arbitrary start and end dates. The full body of work for CoCo is pretty bad this year; but in the games where he wasn't terrible, he was really good. Nice work Wilner!

KC has been on a good run since having a terrible start, a sweep is unlikely. 3 of 4 would be a huge positive and we'll have to play well to avoid dropping 2.

When you look at this series you really have to count on 3 out of 4. This is the heart of our "rotation" coming up so we have to make hay.

the jays actually have the edge in the matchups as hard as that it to believe

Well, that's a promising start.

Nice start by Lawrie. What's in Rasmus's mouth?
