It's really starting to look Eli can get MLer's out with his change up and command. Maybe he can stick as a starter. One more time through baby!

Morgan doesn't seemed to be bothered so far about going thru the lineup twice.

 

[CATS44]

We may not be hammering him, but we are working Ray over pretty good.

I'm highly encouraged by Morgan. I really think having a change in the rotation from just power pitchers makes a difference.

Ray and Kirk as a battery is a base runners dream.

 

[Criznit]

Kirk is a good backstop catcher - he can block a lot..

But he also does stuff like that.

Here's the message an infielder doesn't want to hear.

'Play in against Franmil Reyes.'

His strikeout numbers are definitely encouraging (and K/BB), although maybe it’s just because that is how baseball is nowadays. Used to be when K/9 was 9 or above you were above average.

Two K's in the top of the fifth (Franimal and Weird) to end the threat.. 2-0 still...

 

[CATS44]

No no no no.

Wut????

 

[Criznit]

Wut????

He is kinda of like a wall.. Blocks a lot because he misses a lot.

First change up that the Jays have hit this game.

Before that he had thrown five for swinging strikes, one was a ball, and one was fouled off.

wow.. Eli has that FB running all over the place.. using the aggressiveness of the Jays hitters against them.. Change ups down.. FB and Sliders up.. and the few that are over the middle.. have been watched or fouled off.. this is a goooooood outing.. so far..

oooops.. Kirk hits a "mistake" that he was fooled on, but was able to pull to the left field corner for a double.. third hit of the day...

Let's see if Eli can limit the damage... these Jays hitters are starting to recognize the pitches out of Eli's hand...

Like Bob the Builder... YES HE CAN !!!

DeMarlo/Carl should already have the pen up and ready.. I don't care how well it's gone so far..
