The stated first-pitch time of 6:07 CDT is likely to be pushed back by Toronto's opening day festivities.

[topper09er]

Thanks for the update, I was starting to think maybe 6:07 was metric for 6:15 or something

[adambr2]

Still not playing? Good grief, you'd think they won the World Series last year.

[yfinn6]

Looks like it should be pretty close to 6:30 CT start. Maybe a minute earlier. On that.

[topper09er]

Who needs a face to hit dingers?

[pacopete4]

Broxton with a blast. No doubter on that one!

[topper09er]

Shaw misses a HR by 5 feet, lets knock him in

[pacopete4]

Shaw continues to smack it around and Santana hits it where they aint. Well sort of. 2-0!

[Oxy]

Shaw misses a HR by 5 feet, lets knock him in

 

Ha! The Blue Jays announcers said Pillar missed an out by 6 inches.

[Dragonbait]

ok. where's BA? Craig just isn't a good pbp

[yfinn6]

That was awesome.

[topper09er]

Great play by Arcia, although Yuni probably makes it too

[MoreTrife]

Woooo what a play!

Trivia:

The Blue Jays are the only AL team to win the Cy Young Award in 3 straight seasons. Can you name the winners?

[yfinn6]

Holy crap Wily, that's a turrrible pitch.

I have no clue and I think my guess was Montreal related now that I think of it. I'll throw David Cone, Pat Hentgen, Roger Clemens?

[yfinn6]

Peralta got nasty after that mistake to Tulo, also think he got away with a hanging slider to Martin but nice work limiting the damage.

You technically got it, Hentgen 96, Clemens 97 and 98. Nice pull on Pat Hentgen

[pacopete4]

The ball just flies in this park.

[topper09er]

According to bbref WAR, Clemens 97 season is tied for the 7th best pitching season of all time with 11.9 WAR

Nice! I thought of Hentgen first at least as a Blue Jay. I had Cliff Lee in my head, but checking it was Roy Holladay I was trying to think of.

[adambr2]

Broxton has a slow start to the season and after 2 ABs is already up to an .837 OPS. Lol.

[brewcrewdue80]

Yes! HR/SB for Broxton first 2 PAs. My fantasy team is looking forward to this kind of production!

[topper09er]

Shift costs Braun an RBI
