Blue Jays 2010

- Start date
I'm looking forward to VW's season with the Jays. If he does well, great. If he doesn't, I can imagine you throwing that new Nikon at him! Baseball: it's all good.
jwm
I hope VW does well too. He does seem like a nice guy but even nice guys have to earn their pay. Aaron Hill is a nice guy who earns every cent he makes.
We'll see how many holes there are in Ruiz' swing as the season progresses. He has only a couple of months in the Show and that's not enough time for the pitchers to figure him out.
I agree about Encarnacion being a defensive flop.
The other ? is Snider and whether he can cut it in the Bigs.
Snider reminds me of Adam Lind. It took Adam a couple of years to find his stroke so Snider could be just about due. If VW and Lyle Overbay can hit up to their potential, I think the Jays will pleasantly surprise.
The guy has hit at every level so I don't understand why he is a rookie at the ripe old age of 31.
Maybe you will by June.
OTOH, I hope he does great and pounds the ball all thru the season.
Little bit of fun here as a bit of an amateur when it comes to the game. I am expecting Toronto to go 3 - 3 over their first 6 games. That will be 2 - 1 versus Texas (to get us all interested) then flop (1 - 2) versus Baltimore. In particular not sure about Marcum tonight but expect him to be strong as season gets up to speed.
Wouldn't it be nice if the Jays proved everyone wrong this season though!

Well, the no-no and the lead evaporated pretty quickly. Marcum looked like the genuine article there for 6. (Roy Who?)
VW with a HR and 3 ribs so far.
One of the rules of baseball, if a pitcher has a perfect game going, don't EVER mention that fact until the game is over.
Yes it was a no hitter because although there were no hits and no walks through six innings, Marcum hit a batter in the second and Encarnacion screwed up a fielding chance in the fourth inning; so, 2 Rangers had reached base by the end of the 6th inning.
Darn if I remember but I think a perfact game is as rare as an unassisted triple play or a steal of home against a righthander. Something like that. Really rare, huge.
