Munenori Kawasaki is aToronto Hero and Brett Lawrue is still notToronto villain yet

So Munenori Kawasaki after his game-ending two run double yesterday against Jim Johnson (who know Ricky was not the only player lacking confidence) he got the biggest cheers of the starting lineup and only other to get a cheer was Reed Johnson of came back to Toronto as a Brave. Brett Lawrie got the same response as everybody else including Jose Bautista and even a tribute to Ted Rogers who would been celebrated his 80TH birthday today and would of been crickets. As the game started it was quiet except for the big hits and in a 9-3 beat up on the Braves starting with Edwin Encarnacion who had two huge hits in the game starting in third with a two-run single and in the seventh inning he came up against Colby Rasmus's younger brother Cory Rasmus and he smoked a three-run homer and finished with 5 RBIs in the game. Colby launched a two-run homer in the second inning to get the Jays up 2-0 and J.P. Arencibia finished off Tim Hudson with a two-run homer as he gave up 6 runs on 8 hits over six innings. Brett Lawrie won the crowd over running out an infield hit in fourth inning and got a big cheer in the sixth inning when he stepped to the plate and he responded by delivering another single and crowd loved him then stole second of course he hurt himself on the slide and was replaced Mark Derosa and now is again day-to-day with an ankle Sprain but left with the crowd on his side. Mark Buerhle pitched well through the first three innings and allowed only two walks and he last 6 innings and in the fourth his no-no was broken up by Evan Gattis with two outs in the fourth and then in the fifth gave up an Andrelton Simmons RBI single to break up the shutout and ended up given up a run on 6 hits with two walks and throw 67 strikes on 110 pitches and was 2 strikes for every ball. Things got silly in the dugouts after Evan Gattis hit a two-run homer off Brad Lincoln and had a choose words for Arencibia and when Arencibia got back to the dugout he told his teammates what was said and they started pointing fingers at each other, Colby faced younger brother Cory and after a big battle and in the end Colby winning out getting a double

jays need not rush Josh Johnson back

Jays are having a tough time getting back into the playoff picture at 20-29 trailing the Yankees by 10 in the division and the Red Soxs by 9.5 in the wild card and the Cleveland Indians by 7.5 in the Wild card and sit dead last in the American League East. With all this said there is no need to rush Josh Johnson back to the big Leagues as it is in everybody's interest to not bring him up until he is strong enough to handle major league batters because Johnson wants to prove to the rest of the league he is worth 150 million over 6 or 7 years. He wants to prove it to everybody else because he has shown an interest to not be a Blue Jay as his agent before the season started said that the Jays have too much starting pitcher and that they should send Josh Johnson to the Yankees for a bat and he made fun of how much his wife did not want to go to Toronto to a Florida radio station days after the deal was finalized. So when he comes up to the Jays he wants to be 100% and put as many wins as possible and the lowest ERA possible so that he can make that cabbage back South of the boarder. For the Jays sake they should know better to rush guys back to the majors just look at Ricky Romero 3 innings to start and went throw the lineup but then was smacked around in the fourth and then in his next outing faced 7 batters and got only one out and now is suffering from confidence as triple A batters are using him like a piñata. Then there is the lightening rode known as Brett Lawrie who is hitting just over .200 right now at ,203 after an injury and only 7 at bats in two games to get his bat major league ready and that was not enough time and him and the team have paid for the bad decision. Then there is last night starter Sean Nolin who had two minor league starts in double A this season before he was brought up and feed to the wolves known as the Baltimore Orioles as he pitched an inning and a third and gave up 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk and needed to comforted on the bench after he was pulled and hopefully he can go back to double A and better himself and when his time comes he will be back, So the Jays need to get him 100% before bring him up as it maybe in their best interest to trade him at the deadline and get something that will help in the long term and better he performs the more interest there maybe but it will be extremely hard to keep him down in Buffalo as he followed up a single A outing of three innings where he k'd 5 with a four inning performance in triple A Buffalo today as gave up one hit and a walk and k'd 3 with 10 of 14 first pitch strikes. So I hope double A and the Jays have learned their lesson and keep him their two more starts at least TOM mehegan

Jays rough up Dempster to win series

Today the Jays finally were able to put that John Farrell guy in his place sort of as they won their second series of the season and yes we are 39 games in and only two series victories and both on the road. As the Jays bounced back from a errors than hits game Friday night as they lost 5-0 with 2 errors and 1 hit to pick up a ninth inning victory behind Adam Lind's ninth inning homer giving the Jays a 3-2 edge on Saturday. Then today against more trouble trying to keep the ball in the ball park than he did trying to find his passport last season with the Rangers as he was not able to pitch at the Rogers Centre last season because he could not find his passport and he is Canadian go figure. So he gave up 3 of the 5 homers the Jays hit as he gave up 6 on 7 hits and only Jose Bautista's third inning shot that a row or two away from messing up cars again was hit harder than Shane Victorino hitting the wall to the Jays bullpen in the fourth as he fell to the ground as he wind knocked out of him but I thing he was stunned that Emilio Bonifacio actually hit a homer and to that point a two run homer and to take it a step further fell only triple short of the cycle (yes three hits and I'm not dreaming). The Jays looked to a pitcher again that had only pitched one game so far this season and unlike Ricky Romero Chad Jenkins was able to focus with a runner on base and knew how to throw strikes as he was ahead of the Soxs batters all day long and he went 5.1 innings and gave up a homer to that throne in my side Mike Napoli in the fourth and that guy who doubles in the sixth to move Dustin Pedroia and knock Jenkins out of the ball game. He gave up two runs on 7 hits walking only one and k'd two and he throw 58 of his 90 pitches for strikes and he has only a fastball nothing really else and that show the power of the placement of the ball and helped the clock the Soxs to the tune of 12-4. Jays got on top of a three hit night from Bonifacio a two homer night and a walk and score all three times while Encarnacion hit a solo digger in the fifth and Lawrie in the sixth as the Jays pounded out 12 runs on 12 hits and walked three times. They went 3 for 5 in runners in scoring position today while Boston Only had 3 hits with runners in scoring position all series. So that throne in my side had three hits in the game and diffidently likes hitting against the Jays even though he never ever wanted to play for the Jays. So the team wants to be the Giants are coming to town on Tuesday with their two rings in the last three seasons and it is contract season for the 3 and 1 Tim Hudson

J.A. Happ is a very very lucky guy

J.A. Happ was an amazing lucky guy last night as Desmond Jennings scotched a ball back at him and it hit him behind his left ear and it was a very scary moment for J.A. Happ as got a fractured skull and he had 9 staples behind his ear. He lay on the mound for a good 15-20 seconds before medics could go out to see him as the play just kept going as Jennings end up on third because Bautista did not use his baseball fundamentals as he did not immediately go after the ball and those extra seconds before the play was over could of been life or death. So he survived the waiting time on the mound and thankfully he did not go to sleep which he may have not woken up from. J.A. Happ should be extremely thankful that the worst of his injuries maybe either a knee injury or an ankle sprain because of how he went down after being hit and then his nerves maybe gone and his confidence maybe gone as well as he may end up having nightmares about being on the mound. He has been put on the 15-day DL and will be on it for a bit longer than that and maybe moved to the 30 or 60 day DL and the guy right now who is kicking himself right now is Aaron Laffey decided last Tuesday that he did bot want to go down the QEW to Buffalo and instead became a free agent and is in the Dodgers organization in triple A instead of the No. 4 Starter for the Toronto Blue Jays. The Guy gets that opportunity right now is Edgar Gonzalez who in two relief opportunities with the Jays gave up two runs in 3.2 innings pitched. Happ is out of hospital and very thankful while the Jays have a three game winning streak going Tom Mehegan

Ricky Romero showed the good and the bad

Ricky Romero went head-to-head with King Felix and the Mariners and it looked very good through the order he allowed only a single to Kyle Seager and he was doubled up on a double play ball off the bat of Kendrys Morales and 33 pitches later he was through the first three innings. To start the fourth inning Ricky started Michael Saunders with a first pitch strike to make it 8 of the first 10 batters he faced with a strike but that is were everything goes off the rails as Saunders walks and Seager took him deep and Romero began felling discomfort on his middle finger on his left pitching hand and he hit Morales and k'd Michael Morse before loading the bases by walking Jason Bay and Justin Smoak which lead to a RBi single to Dustin Ackley before having Jesus Montero hit him in his left pitching arm but was able to get the force at home and then got Brendan Ryan to pop out to end the inning. So Romero went through the order the second time all in the fourth inning and gave up 3 runs on two hits, three walks, and a hit batter and it was the same 2012 Romero who could not handle the heat and was wanting out of the kitchen and was not able to and it took 37 pitches to get out of the fourth inning. King Felix allowed 6 base runners over 8 innings and he throw only 95 pitches and the Jays hitters helped the King out by hitting the ball three times to Kyle Seager who the first two times went 5-4-3 for the double play and the third he caught a line drive by Maicer Izturis with runners on the corners and Colby Rasmus was so excited at first that he moved to second and was doubled up for the second out of the eighth inning which came after Edwin hit a double play ball in the seventh and erased a Bautista single. In the end Romero has more work to do but for his second outing after spring training with the first being to a high single A club Tom Mehegan
