Indians missed a golden opportunity.

Let's hope the offense give Norris something to work with.

To lose it means you have had to have it in the first place.

This Toronto staff royally sucks at control.

I could have had my kids batting against Norris and he would walk them.

And Jays are getting mowed quickly. Norris won't have a chance to rest much. I predict a total **** show when he comes back out.

Disappointed Donaldson didn't take another pitch after House going 5 straight balls.

How do you throw 79 pitches through three innings and not allow a run?

Wow, Pillar has to do something with mid-80's fastballs down the middle.

The suicide squeeze! Looks like the organization developed Diaz well, I guess.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

5 runs isn't nearly enough with scrub Francis on the mound.

I'm rooting for Pillar, but keep expecting him to fall into some hideous slump, and yet...

Norris is not MLB ready. High upside, but not quite there yet. If the Jays have to replace both Norris and Sanchez in the rotation, then Estrada is the obvious choice for one of those spots, but other than him it's some combination of Jenkins, Wolf, or wait until Doubront (assuming the weighted ball routine works for him) for the other. Not very ideal.

If the Jays ever enter a season with this many rookies again, they better be rebuilding.
