Jays Lose Rained Out Game

The rain gives and the rain takes away. After winning a rain-shortened game yesterday the Jays lost one today. Today they got to the first batter in the top of the 7th, Overbay who ended a long hitless stretch with a double, then they called the game because of the rain and the Jays losing 2-1.

Offensively we didn't do much against O's starter Brian Bass. We managed 4 hits in the 6 innings and one run on Wilk's 4th home run. John Parrish gave up 9 hits in 5 innings and 2 runs in his 5 innings of work. He pitched his way into and out of trouble in just about everyone of those innings. Tallet pitched a scoreless inning while the rain was pouring down on him.

No real Jay of the Day today though Wilk deserves honorable mention for the home run. And no Suckage Jay, Inglett  came close with a -.082. Sad to lose a game when a game is called with the tying run on second and none out. Seems to me the Jays had a suspended game before that Lyle was on third at the time it was suspended.

In other Jays news, the big news is the rumor that Jays have made an offer to AJ in the hopes to keep him with the team over the next four years. I am hopeful that they'll work something out, it does seem that he enjoys the team and his teammates.

The Jays last game of the season is tomorrow at 1:00 Eastern and they need the win to finish 10 games above .500. Litsch (12-9, 3.67) goes against Jeremy Guthrie (10-11, 3.57). That is, if the rain lets up. I'm driving out of town tomorrow at that time so won't get to see how the season ends.

How does Lance Cormier get a 0.315 for this game??

is a quirk of the graph.....

the program doesn’t take rainouts into account apparently……at the time Cormier came in the o’s had a .685 chance of winning…fangraphs not knowing the game was ending after one more batter. So the game ends and the it goes from a .685 chance to a 1.0 chance…..and Cormier was there……so it gave it to him. I’m sure they’ll look at it later and fix that. Really all the numbers will be wrong because they would have been calculated thinking the game was going 9.
