Toronto Blue Jays

Upton should have been backing up that play, no doubt about it. Overall though, I think he's filled in nicely for Pillar.

But that was another one of those perfect examples where Saunders kills them defensively out there. He's absolutely perfected the art of stinking in the field without getting a lot of errors. That should be a routine catch for a professional outfielder. God, he's horrible.

I have always wished that the scorers weren't so lenient and also that they were allowed some subjectivity in giving out errors.
Saunders and Upton looked like the Bad News Bears on that particular play. And yet it's scored a home run? Just seems so wrong to me.

Upton has been very good overall and will be a great RF or LF once Pillar is healthy. I want to say Saunders should have conceded the double but it was a really weird fly ball that just kept drifting, an above average fielder has a shot at making the catch for sure. Upton was brutal on the play, first with the no cover, then the slip and fall (haven't actually seen what happened just Upton on his ass with a weak throw to the cut-off). How Upton didn't get an error in there somehow is beyond me.

Only saving grace was Osuna came right back in the next night and got the 1-run save.

Can we still trade Saunders for Jay Bruce???

Did Shapiro pay this woman to say all this so we don't have to pay him as much??

Saunders has gone into hibernation.. José, where are??

Other way around... this will only cost us more now that he has a big settlement to pay.

Wasn't it all from just swimming in the river??

EE comments aside.
Huge game from Martin! Unfortunate that we didn't gain any ground today. No favours from the spoiler teams.

We need to win 4 of the next 5 at a min.

The way Bos and Baltimore are playing I don't disagree with you.

Ok, I've said this before but how in this world is Aaron Loup employed in Major League Baseball??

I can't stand this guy as a pitcher.. Am I the only person that knows he is a very bad pitcher??

You are not alone. Unfortunately you don't work for the Jays.

Nice night by Small. 5RBis

Aaron Loup hohum sucks

[Eskimo Brother]

Aaron Loup was good enough not to blow the game, and that's all we really needed. I'll take a win plus getting to rest the important bullpen arms for sure.

[The Black Panther]

Indeed

Loup still scared me.. I couldn't help but notice that he was sweating like a pig during his outing..

It's always nice when the Jays win and both the Orioles and Red Sox lose!!

[blayze]

How Loup is still gainfully employed in the MLB remains a mystery to me...
