anyone from Toronto making the trip to Cleveland over Easter? me and some friends got seats like 20 rows behind the Jays dugout for $35. i'm dying waiting for this.
I was going to, and then I applied for a passport renewal (since I want to go to London for the Olympics) and I am now unable to leave the country until April 16th. Ah well.

Anthony Gose just stole home on Salty's throw back to the pitcher, his fourth of the day, third of the inning. #Jays up 3-2 in top 8th.
We will be lucky if Gose gets to be a .270 hitter. If he does he will be one of the best CF in baseball given his 15/20 hr potential. His defense will be elite.
Also, not sure why it hasn't been mentioned by Alvarez pitched in a minor league game against Yankees high A team.

Alvarez is done after 7 innings, allowed 2 hits, no runs, no walks, 4 Ks. 72p/57 strikes, topped out at 95. Saw 1 over min. #bluejays #jays
Jays won with pretty much a scrubs line-up against a lot of Red Sox regulars. Pretty impressive win... not that it means much, of course.
Thats what sucks about it, the ST record is nice to look at, but when April 5th hits it all means nothing..too bad..I'd do about anything for the Jays to start off 22-4 in the regular season LOL

FAP FAP FAP!!! Guy is only 22 years old and keeps getting better and better. Top of the rotation starter potential. Yeah I know it's against High A ball, but damn throwing 95! No way he threw 95 last year. He was closer to 91-92, looks like he's got some extra jump in his fastball so far this spring. Only throwing 15 balls is pretty impressive as well. Man our rotation is going to be filthy in the next 2-3 years with guys like Hutchinson and Syndergaard pushing for a rotation spot.
Romero, Morrow, Alvarez, Drabek, Hutchinson, Syndergaard, Norris...PITCHING FOR DAYS!

Alvarez threw 101 in AA last year on 2 occasions. Sat mainly around 97 until his call-up.

He threw as hard as Brandon Morrow and regularly hit 94-96. Highest I saw him hit was 97 last year.

Ya it's exciting times with so many quality arms coming thru the system and you didnt even mention either Justin Nicolino or Aaron Sanchez who both have crazy high ceilings. I was watching the Rays game today and Hellickson is a pitcher who I think Hutchison could be similar too. They are about the same size and have somewhat similar stats in the minors. If Drabek can figure his ***** out this rotation going forward will be very very good.
