Game Two GameThread: Blue Jays @ Rays

Tonight Drew Hutchison makes his first MLB start since June 15, 2012. After a terrific spring training I'm pretty curious to see tonight's start.

Alex Cobb starts for the Rays. He had a good spring too, 15.2 innings, 13 hits, 4 earned, 2 walks and 18 strikeouts.

And there is this:

Mild inflammation for Reyes . Compared it to 2011 when he missed 29 games. #BlueJays

Oh, I sure hope he doesn't miss 29 games. 29 games with Diaz and Goins in the lineup...

Gibbons, on letting Reyes play in MTL: "We wouldn’t have put him out there if we didn’t feel confident" he was OK to play.

And

Gibbons on decision to call up Diaz: "best (available) shortstop we got," wants to put defence first.

Oh well. Offense is a secondary concern,

Personally I'd have rather they moved Bautista and Encarnacion up a spot, but such is life.

Remember we have rules around here. Some reminders, don't talk about illegal streams, don't argue with the Mods and don't be terrible.
