Blow Jays offence has a habit of making lame pitchers look like all stars:lolBIG:

Haven't seen much of the Jays this year. Mitre is definitely what you would consider a lame pitcher, and for the parts I've been watching when switching between my spreadsheet and MLB.tv, Toronto hasn't gotten the ball out of the infield. Their 1 hit was a high chopper to third.

It does seem like the Jays do that a lot but I'm watching the game Miltre is pitching great he got a lot of movement on the ball I cant believe this guy got an ERA close to 7. He seemed to struggle a bit with runners on base I think the Jays will get a couple runs of this fella next inning

He's being helped out by the Jays swinging at a lot of borderline pitches. I was at the Cubs-Padres game on Friday where Mitre pitched - he didn't get hit that hard, but walked a lot of guys so the hits he gave up did a lot of damage.

Molson, coming from a Jays fan this game has a lot more to do with Mitre pitching the game of his life rather then the Jays batters making him look good,, Watching this game,, this kids sinker ball is on fire today and all his pitches are getting great movement.. Mitre was perfect until 5th when Jays got a lucky infield single and a walk.. Jays have yet to hit a ball to the outfied and have 11 groundouts thru 5 innings,, what does that tell ya.. For those of us on the Jays hopefully 3rd time around the order they can figure him out.. Halladay doesn't really have his stuff today and is laboring along,, but keeping the Jays in it and giving them a chance to win if they can muster up a few runs..
