Having seen McCoy pitch that game against Boston, I think he would have had a better chance against the O's.<br /><br />I say that as a joke, but the scary thing is I think the Jays might have been better off doing that.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-85765426154749415062011-08-31T16:10:55.767-04:002011-08-31T16:10:55.767-04:00last night I was praying that Tallet sneezed himse...last night I was praying that Tallet sneezed himself out of the game!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-81083186434391411202011-08-31T15:20:34.252-04:002011-08-31T15:20:34.252-04:00DFF'nA, that's got to hurt.

Also, why can Janssen be used in back to back games but Litsch and Francisco couldn't? I think I may have preferred Jose Molina pitching in that situation.<br /><br />Finally, I actually have no problem with Tallet and think he has his use as a left-handed specialist. But to face nothing buy right handed hitters after not pitching for 2 months?Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-57227938840836247352011-08-31T14:50:59.614-04:002011-08-31T14:50:59.614-04:00"You don’t save pitchers for tomorrow.
