Jays suffer worst shutout in club history

The Jays behind Ricky Romero who came into the game having not lost to the A's and by the end of the game it was the worst shutout loss in Jays history at a staggering 16-0 and Ricky Romero did not last very long as he pitch 1.1 inning and was yanked by Farrell at 5-0 A's with one out in the second inning. So Ricky has lost complete control of his slider and the majors know that and are simply sitting dead red on fast balls and hitting them as hard as humanly possible as he went into the second inning down on a Yoenis Cespedes RBI double around two of his six walks of the night. In the second he throw fastball A's hit fast ball as they collected 3 hits and award first base 4 times (one intentional) off Ricky who record one out as scored a season tying 8 run inning and Chad Beck did not do him any favors given up two hits and allowing all of Ricky's runners to score and gave up a run of his own in two-thirds of an inning. J.P. Arencibia in that Nightmare of a second inning made it like a titanic inning as anybody feeling that there was a very slim chance of the Jays making the playoffs pull the covers over their head and went to sleep for a long winter as J.P. took a foul ball off the bat of Brandon Inge and fractured his right hand and is out 6 weeks. After the second inning it was the Coco Crisp show as he hit solo shots in third and the fifth off Andrew Carpenter who tried to stop the bleeding but did not happen but he did get through the sixth only given up three solo in four innings and the last to Chris Carter. Aaron Loop pitched two innings and gave up two runs on two hits in the eighth and Jeff Mathis now the Jays starting catcher pitched the ninth and gave up two runs and it was a stupid idea and should of not happened I do not care if U have a pitcher hitting in the ninth. The Jays could not figure out the high 60's curveball tapping out at 70 or the the low 90's heat of A.J. Griffen with the Jays getting 3 hits and two walks with 9 strikeouts in 6 innings with the hardest hit was Travis Snider in the second and Josh Reddick had spidy senses going as he climbed the fence and took maybe a homer if not a double away from him. The best defensive play was a fan that had his defensive allignment as was positioned in the middle of empty chairs and Brett Lawrie hits it right to him and just like Lawrie does he went back to his original position in the front row.
