Toronto Blue Jays @ Minnesota Twins
Anyway, the Jays play a getaway game this afternoon before heading to Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia to play their first interleague series of the year. Dustin McGowan, who was lights out two starts ago and bombed out last start, pitches against Glen Perkins, who's only made 1 start this season. Perkins is a lefty, and they've given the Jays fits this season, but hopefully they can snap out of it today. I won't be able to watch the game, as I'll be at work. Let's go Jays!!

This game is on Sportsnet, right?
Because mlb.tv has the Twins radio coverage on top of a slideshow right now.

Oh, it's the scoreboard feed
like they do for the Jays games that aren’t televised, except that this game is televised and I’m paying for it.

The game is not on Sportsnet
I just checked and I couldn’t find it on any of the normal Jays channels. This might be one of the games that Rogers puts on their specialty channel to try to get people to order it.

Okay, I'm going with Jerry and Alan for this one
the video is out of sync with the radio they’re playing on top of it.

McGowan at 82 pitches through 4
If he can go 5, I guess you can bring in Tallet to eat a few innings, but it’s going to be the toughest call to the bullpen ever.

Didn't he pitch last night?
How many innings can Tallet pitch today? I guess we only need 2 if BJ can go today.

They're talking about talented players not hustling
and guys like Scutaro (who singled) always hustling. Think they mean Rios?

To bring up Purcey?
I’m not even sure. I’d figure we’d send down Velandia and bring up Lopez after Purcey’s start.

Are there any studies
or information on the effect of a pitcher simply warming up on performance. Like is there an equivalence between warming up and throwing X number of pitches during the game in terms of its effect on pitcher stress?

Joe Mauer pinch hits for the righty Everett
and Gibbons goes to the lefty Cy. 4 lefties in the next 5 hitters, so maybe he’ll face all 5.

when you only need one run
you’re more likely to score him from third with 1 out than second with none, IIRC.
