The pitching has been impressive..A one hitter today, great MLB debut for Drabek..He is gonna be a good one.

Yeah, I wonder what team we'll lose him to when he turns into an ace?

I've decided to become a Jays fan this year. Normally I don't really care about baseball, when I was a kid I was a Tigers fan, but I dunno, I always find myself cheering for the Jays in the past few years. I realize they are in the toughest division and stuff, but I think they can find a way to win again!

any of you go on the slut walk? Ray? Serge?

John McDonald is my favourite Jay

God, I hope we just DFA Patterson when Davis comes back. Hell, I'd drop him if we can even get Podsednik healthy. He is so awful. The fact that he isn't batting 9th is inexcusable. Bat him 2nd, no wonder Bautista leads off every inning.

ok, what the hell does Farrell have against pinch-hitting? Does he know that is an option? There have been several opporunities recently...no go. I realize it messes up the defensive alignment, but how do you not pinch hit Arencibia or someone for McCoy?And if all it takes for you to lose your entire bench is Encarnacion being day to day, then you need to have another position player on your roster. How about instead of pinch-running Woodward, you pinch hit Arencibia for McDonald or McCoy and put Woodward in defensively if need be.

Jose Bautista has 58 home runs in his last 155 games. That is in incredible. Amazingly, he only has 30 doubles in that same span.

RBI - notably missing. Last I checked he was not in the top-20 in the league. I don't know what is sadder - that we have two sub-300 OBP guys (Escobar, Patterson) hitting in front of him? Or that many of us are anxiously awaiting Rajai Davis, also a sub-300 OBP guys to get back and replace Patterson.Scott Podsednik is in AAA and now healthy. He has had an OBP above 340 the last two years, and has been no worse than 320 in a while. All-around, he probably isn't better than Rajai Davis, but he is much better than Patterson. I really hope when he is healthy, they ditch Patterson and keep Pods as a 4th outfielder. Hell, I might even take him in the starting lineup over Juan Rivera or Encarnacion if they don't pick it up.

In his past 10 games, ending April 29, Jose Bautista had a .500 batting average, .689 OBP, 1.214 SLG, good for a 1.903 OPS. That includes 6 homers, 15 runs, 9 RBI, 16/4 K/BB and a steal.For fun, run that out to 160 games:224 hits with 96 homers, 48 doubles, 16 triples, 16 SB, 240 runs, 144 RBI, and of course, the 1.903 OPS. For good measure, a 256/64 K/BB.Then again, he went only 1/4 last night with a double, dropping his OPS by 25 points.

Hopes and dreams:Add - Brett Lawrie, Travis Snider, Eric ThamesDrop - Jayson Nix, Corey Patterson, Edwin EncarnacionWith Johnny Mac coming back, McCoy goes down.Lineup:Lawrie - 3BHill - 2BBautista - RFLind - 1B/DHArencibia - CSnider - LFEscobar - SSRivera - 1B/DHDavis - CFReserves - John MacDonald, Jose Molina, Eric Thames. As the only OF reserve, Thames still gets plenty of playing time.
