We need to win this series if not sweep it and gain some momentum. I want to be a few games above .500 before Reyes comes back. Colby, lawrie and a few others gotta get their **** together.

Time for the offense to come alive. Tough to be good if you can't score more than 4 runs in a game.

Wednesday's game is on national TV in the States on ESPN2, which is very peculiar. :confused:

Anything less than 2/3 here will be very disappointing.

should be 3-0
2-1 would be nice
1-2 is horrible
0-3 the season is over already

Weird how the Jays can get on ESPN, while the Raps are completely ignored down south. Anyways, I hope Morrow shows up on national tv.

I don't know anything about the Houston starters lol. Are they relatively unknowns or am I outa the loop from not watching them play since they had Beltran and were in the playoffs lol.

There's a day off , any chance we skip McGowan and dickey starts the last game?

Well the Jays usually get torched by unknowns or younger starters. So if you don't know them, be very afraid.

A sweep would be nice. I'd like to see them finish April solidly above .500.

April and May are probably their easiest months... the schedule definitely looks tougher from June onwards.

So yeah, a good start is pretty important ( especially considering the uncertainty of what happens next if this team struggles early on )

I know it early, but this team needs to take at least 2 out of 3 from the Astros at home. Astros are not an elite team by any means, and the Jays need to win the series.

Going to the game on Thursday, weather is supposed to be great so hopefully they'll open the dome but we'll see.

Nothing easy when it comes to Toronto teams.

I don't mind testing the platoon once in a while. Not like Sierra is lighting the world on fire.

Wo1verine · Post #18 » by **Wo1verine** » Tue Apr 8, 2014 7:59 pm

I think they plan on using Lind vs. not so good lefties.

Tough LHP like Price, CC, Lester, Moore, etc Lind wont be starting.

Randle McMurphy · Post #19 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Tue Apr 8, 2014 8:10 pm

Lind should never start against any LHP. Although this pitcher seems to have reverse splits, it just leads to eventual failure.
