Hello Syracuse....Is Russ Adams Handy???
Uh-oh, the streak ends, the shortstops go down, and Hinske hits a difference making home-run last night.
The move by JP to pick up Marco Scutaro looks pretty good right now as both Eckstein and Johnny Mac went down last night with injuries. Eckstein went down with a hip flexor/groin injury and is probably day-to-day. Johnny Mac went down with a high ankle sprain and could be out a while. Luckily, the Jays do have Scutaro to fill in and he has played a lot of shortstop over the years so it isn't too much of a worry. I'm thinking they may have to call up Russ Adams if Eckstein will be out for a while because I'm not sure who else can play second or short.
Loved to hear the boos raining down on Eric Hinske last night and especially after he hit a bomb off of Windows restaurant. Can't believe he has 7 home-runs already!! Come to think of it, can't believe that the Rays actually have a decent team this year. Their bullpen is 2nd in the league in ERA and that can make a huge difference in the Win/Loss column. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up. But tell me...is Troy Percival huge or what. When was the last time that guy hit the exercise room???
I really enjoy the colour work of Rance Mulllinicks during Jays games. During a Lyle Overbay at bat last night, Rance observed that Lyle has started to look really comfortable and his body language is really quiet. He stated that Overbay is starting to look dangerous. What does Overbay do on the next pitch??? He just launches one to center field that hits the top of the fence and bounces back into play. Too bad really as it would have tied the game if it had gone out. However, it is good to see his bat starting to heat up because the Jays need all the bats to get going. Aaron Hill and Alex Rios also have to get the bats going.
Looks like AJ's curveball was working last night as he struck out 10. However, the usual AJ inconsistency befell him last night as he only pitched six innings while giving up 9 hits and 5 earned runs.
Come-on Marcum, get the boys back on track tonight please!!
Cheers.
