Jays get HUGE break, rain postponed game.

Jays v Orioles. Series finale. Trouble in Paradise. Not only on the field but off the field. Let’s start with off the field. Evidently Farrell announced that Jose was back on the DL BEFORE letting Jose know. Plus he also lambasted the lack of effort. And sloppy play, well about time you noticed that John. The fans could have told you this was not an overnight occurrence. Meantime on the field ??? what a mess last night’s game, poor base running, three players thrown out, McCoy, Vizquel (yes Vizquel, someone should tell the guy he is 45 and maybe not have the same speed he had 20 years ago) and Davis; poor fielding Escobar the major culprit but not unnoticed was Escobar calling off Vizquel on a pop up to 3B. Try doing that when Lawrie gets back Yunel. Also noted the slow speed of Vizquel at 3B to miss a few grounders that Lawrie would have gobbled up, maybe another reason why Hech is recalled and playing 3B this afternoon. Poor hitting? take your pick in the lineup. Catcher? another wild pitch to lead to a score. Another poor throw into the outfield. On their own these things are manageable; put together it adds to slop and Farrell called them out. Maybe today we will see a difference? No Rasmus in the lineup and I agree the guy needs a head break, would have happened last night but for Jose injury. I still believe in Colby, far more than most of the others. He has to be part of the top of the lineup behind Lawrie and in front of Jose and Edwin. Reinforcements for Jose and Cooper. Hech gets off the plane in Seattle and takes the next one back, the red eye flight. I don’t think that will help him much with the mental sharpness he needs. The other welcome replacement is Adam Lind, rehab cut short by six games, that says it all. But these are hairy times and an unfit Lind is better than the alternatives evidently. Pitching today Henderson Alvarez. Anything can and usually does happen with Henderson. Hammered last outing by the Rangers bats which is not a disgrace but time for a better pouting today. This guy could pitch a complete game or be sitting in three. And Isaac also giving them headaches today as the hurricane nears the Gulf coast with the rain ahead of it. Baltimore getting the edges now and could impact the game. That will be fine for the Jays, any games that are pushed later into the schedule will help get the injured warriors back in the lineup. Rain delay at 1.30pm. Jays off to New York later today but that series could also be affected by Isaac. Jays can but hope for the weather to help out. Evidently travelling by train to help the team bonding Maybe a little late in the season for that but a great idea. Lineups: Jays: Davis, McCoy, Encarnacion, Lind, Escobar, Johnson, Torealba, Sierra, Hechavarria and Alvarez pitching. Orioles: Markakis, Hardy, McLouth, Jones, Wieters, Davis, Reynolds, Quintanila, Machado and Tilman pitching. Top 1st: Rain delay. No. Game postponed. Jays get a big break finally.... bullpen will be fresh for New York. And everyone gets another day to mend their wounds. First game tomorrow Romero pitching. Complete game Ricky ???
