There's a lot of power in that lineup. They have some pretty bad OBPs bringing their run production down though (Reyes .303, Lawrie .280, Goins .203 (!), Rasmus .266). They currently lead the AL in doubles and homers. They have the 2nd highest ISO in baseball (.187) behind the Rockies (.194). Encarnacion should finish with a higher average and OBP than he has right now. And I love how Lind's improved his approach.

Gons has been sent down for a month now. Reyes should and will ge better, Lawrie has been much better as of late.

If they stay healthy and we pitch avg we should be right at the top

We'll see about the pitching. Buehrle's a good pitcher, but he'll regress. I like what I've seen from Hutchison and he was a pretty highly ranked prospect. Morrow has talent, but he just has terrible mechanics. Jays might have to give up on him as a starter and put him back in the pen. A shame. Happ just sucks.

Buchholz is serving up meatballs and inflating his ERA to 6.55

What else is new in Boston?

EE is a very dangerous man right now.
Is there anyone hotter right now?

He's up there.

top 11 SLG % in the league
OPS he rates 21st

Troy Tulowitzki is in a league of his own right now.


The question is, will Toronto maintain this level of play?

Yanks, O's, and Jays are pulling away from the Sox & Rays for the time being

Bogaerts hitting a home run automatically makes this game a win for the Red Sox.

Lester's had some real gems and some real stinkers against the Jays throughout his career...

And Bautista now has 27 career home runs against the Sox in just 88 games (80 started).

Dickey pitches a gem with the Dome open. O's lose as well. Jays now 2.5 up in division and playing some great all around baseball right now.
