Just a question for all of us Jays fans:
How well would Darvish have helped the Jays if they had had him?

McCoy up, Thames down... Who knows when we'll see Escobar again?

Well, outside of the series in Texas over the weekend, starting pitching hasn't really been the problem for the Jays, so, probably not all that much.

Probably the best defensive outfield we can put out there and Davis' bat has been good enough to replace Thames who's struggling.

Yeah, I think the surprises at the bottom end have by in large outweighed the disappointments at the top end to the point where overall, I'm satisfied with the group as a whole.

I don't know that it's gospel. It's just the one I like best. If you're inclined more towards FWAR, where Darvish has the edge on Hutchison by just .6 wins, or WARP or something then that's more or less in the same ballpark.

What in the name of Fats Waller?!... Well that's good.

Well, McCoy's really only up to give the Jays more options, just in case Johnson or Escobar can't go or need to come out of a game, and Thames wasn't even hitting his weight in May, so . . .

See, I thought Escobar (though day-to-day) was going to miss a good stretch.

If that was true, they probably would have brought up Hech.

I don't know... either or... McCoy gives them a 4th outfielder option.

Griffin commented on that:
Bottom three guys in the Jays lineup have 8 of the 9 hits through 5 innings. The line: 8 for 9, 4 runs, 6 RBI.
Pretty darn impressive!
Edit: While these three feast, the top four are 0-11, including poor Kelly Johnson who has struck out three times in a row, leaving six men on base, including runners at 2nd and 3rd with less than two outs (twice).

Not just the Jays who are having umpire issues these days.

The backup Orioles catcher looks like he's hiding inside a garbage can when he's in position.

Always nice to see a Yogi Berra-ism playing out.
