Jays catchers need brighter mitts as they come home with a single win in a week
The Jays pitching has now walked 197 batters and hit 17 batters which is 214 free passes in 47 games and that is why too much if U want to win as it is 4.6 a game which is once every other inning. So it may be time to get the catchers nice bright orange or yellow catching mitts as they are not see their target because if they were then pitchers like Romero and Drabek would be leading the teams in innings pitched instead of walks as they can have real unhittable stuff but if it is not find the plate then it will not work.
Today the Jays and Kyle Drabek got rock again and Drabek pitched three innings and walked three but was extremely hittable as he gave up 8 hits. He cruised for the first but whwn the second came around he was unable to find the plate as he gave up a single and 3 walks to the first 5 batters of the inning and unlike in Tampa he gave up hits so it got worst as the fifth batter Mitch Moreland walked in a run and then sixth (Ian Kinsler) and the seventh batter (Elvis Andrus) both doubled in two and finally the ninth batter (Adrian Beltre) crushed a two-run shot and the Rangers sent 11 batters to the plate and put up a 7 spot. Ian Kinsler finished off Drabek with a two run shot in the third as Drabek gave up 9 runs in the game in his home state of Texas and the Jays come crawling home as they went 1 and 5 on their week long road trip.
The Jays had their chances in the 12-6 beat down as in the third they were only able to get a single run with first and second with one out as Bautista grounded out for the RBI and then in the fourth inning the lead off hitter J.P. Arencibia hit his first of two solo shots in the game and if the Jays had gotten to him in the third with runners on base it would of been a lot closer than 7-1 but those are the breaks the Jays are not getting right now. In the fifth the Jays got their first three batters on including an Edwin Encarnacion rbi single but Thames grounded into a double play and J.P. who has moved down a spot grounded out.
The Rangers put up another 3 runs in the seventh as Nelson Cruz had a RBI double and that was followed by a Mitch Moreland two-run shot the third two-run shot but the Jays got those three runs back as J.P. hit a solo homer in the eighth and Rasmus hit a two-run shot in the ninth as both teams had three homers and the Rangers had all two-run shots while the Jays had only one two-run shot.
