A frustrating one. Yeah I guess all loses are frustrating, but I hate us losing to A.J. Burnett. Except for one inning Brian Tallet pitched a good game. But the 5th he gave up 2 walks, a bunt single (that he could have made a better play on), another walk to score a run. At that point I thought it was going to be a big inning, but Tallet did a good job of limiting the damage. An ARod, ground out that was a force out at the plate and within a hair of being a double play. But then a passed ball cost us another run. Chavez really should have caught it. if he's a 'catch and throw' catcher' he's gotta make those plays. Another very very close out at the plate (I think the umpire missed the call) and a strikeout got us out of the inning. Just 2 runs in an inning that started out with 3 walks and a single is pretty decent.
We didn't get enough offense, just 7 hits and 2 walks. Vernon Wells had 2 hits a homer and a double and Marco Scutaro had 2, including a 'double' that was totally misplayed by Johnny Damon. Vernon's homer was good, but I liked the double because he went the other way with the pitch. Aaron Hill, Adam Lind, David Dellucci and Raul Chavez all had 0 fors, though Hill had a walk and Dellucci had a walk and was hit by pitch.
The last inning wasn't fun, I know I'm never going to figure out Cito but two out in the 9th and you let Raul Chavez hit? Chavez was ripped off on the strike three call, it was off the plate and he didn't go around but still wouldn't you pinch hit for the man?
No Jays of the Day today. Honorable mention to Vernon and Scoot. Suckage Jays are Lind (-.139) and Chavez (-.117).
Tomorrow Roy Halladay (10-2, 2.56) goes against Chien-Ming Wang (1-6, 10.06). It's a 1:00 Eastern start again.

One bad inning
It seems like that can be the title of every Brian Tallet and Scott Richmond loss.

What could have been
Lyle Overbay gets 1st base when he was hit. Instead he strikes out, and VW hits a double. Could have been a big inning.

Yeah Tallet was good other than the 5th inning. But you’re only asking for trouble when you walk 3 runners and have a passed ball and an error as well. Hopefully the Jays can rebound tomorrow behind Doc.

no error....bunt single....
really he did well, gave up two earned, in 6 innings against the Yankees in the best ballpark for offense in the league.

No error? Then the Yahoo recap got it wrong. It said there was an error to Tallet.

called it an error first then changed the call
Got it right in the end….

Hehe
Jays lefty Brian Tallet on Yankee Stadium: “They spent a billion dollars to build the same ballpark.”

went to the game today
same park on the field, but everything else is way better than that old dump. $10 dollar beers weren’t great though

Good grief
That makes the $7.75 beer at GM Place seem like a treat.

Tallet did his job
All you can ask from your starting pitcher is to keep you in the game. Tallet did that today. The last four games our pitchers had quality starts in each game and we managed one win. The offense is in a total funk and we can not expect every pitcher to throw a shutout. It is good to see Wells hitting again, but somebody have to give Rios an energy drink or something, because he looks like he is sleeping walking out there.
