Edwin Encarnacion is on fire

Edwin Encarnacion this past week in 28 at bats had 6 homers and 10 RBIs and had 9 hits (.325.) When he was not doing it with the bat he did it with his gloves and legs like he did Friday when he made a spike dive at first base for a putout and later went down the first baseline to make a remarkable catch. Edwin who showed up in 2010 and could not do anything right as he could not hit and could not field either and it looked like his stay in Toronto was going to be very short and now he is dominate baseball player. Edwin has helped the likes of Bautista who had a homer and 4 RBIs and that helps protect the leader in hits Milky Cabrera who has 66 hits in 50 games which matches his 2012 start and hopefully not test positive this time, The Jays are leading the AL with homers (70), slugging (.442), OPS (.771), and POFF (percentage of finishing first) (62.8%) while being the only AL east with scoring more than they gave up (+23). The Jays has taken advantage of the offense they have gotten and gone 29-22 and has a 6 game win streak and has a game and a half lead on the rest of the division and longer it lasts the more important games become and the fans will not need prizes to buy tickets to get inside the Rogers centre. It could be a great season for the Jays Tom Mehegan

Anthony Gose making an impact with the Jays

Anthony Gose has shown the Jays that he came replace Colby Rasmus while Colby hits the 15-day DL with a sore hamstring. Anthony Gose with 6 hits and 6 walks in 7 games with the Jays this season and he has been learning small ball with bunting and walking while covering the grounds in the outfield and getting to every ball hit his way. He is much more focused in the majors than in the minors as he has walked 13 and 32 ks in 28 games in the minors while 6 walks and 5 ks in the majors and has on-base of .500. It of course is not a great thing that he is only focused at the major league level but the reality as long as he can handle he will be a great fourth outfielder when Colby gets back to the lineup. It good timing for Gose as it is time for the Jays have an extra outfielder to replace one of the relievers as it looks like Buehrle is having a solid season going deep into games and if Hutchison can continue his next 20 games of his career like his first 20 the starting two set. If the Jays can get a kindergarten teacher that can help R.A. keep his composer under control so that he does not have a fit every time someone gets a hit the Jays will be a contender in the AL east after being a pretender for over 20 seasons. Timing is everything Tom Mehegan

Casey Janssen is back just in time

Casey Janssen is finally ready to start his season as the Jays closer after missing almost a quarter of the season with arm soreness. All I hope is that Jays done the right and Janssen is really ready and healthy to pitch just over 3 quarters of a season after 34 saves in 36 opportunities last season and 56 saves in 61 opportunities over the last two seasons. He has been coming out of the bullpen with the mind set to throw strikes and get the job done and the Indians and the Rangers this week coming up I think it is possible that the bats will get hot again and will put the Jays in a position late in games with the lead. Which would put the ball in the hands late in the game and they will have the confidence that if they can keep the lead going to the ninth inning and the Foo fighters music starts pounding out of the speakers and Janssen storms the mound with fire in his eyes. So with Janssen back in the fold the Jays could get on a huge roll that could separate themselves from the rest of the crowded American League East. The Jays have a closer that they have confidence in Tom Mehegan
