Royal Treatment
I saw that the Jays were facing Jeremy Gobble tonite and I also saw that he was sporting a 1-0 record with 2.82 ERA after 3 starts. I thought to myself, damn he is having a nice year, until I looked at his other numbers. It turns out he has done it so far this year with smoke, mirros and the help of David Blaine, because there is no other way to explain 22IP with 6 BB and 6K, that is a walk to K ratio of 1:1, which isn't good, ever. Also, 6 strikeouts in 22 IP means he isn't missing a whole lot of bats, he has just gotten lucky and balls have been hit right at people.

This of course is a great sign for the Blue Jays who have struggled scoring runs this season All they have to do is stay patient with him and the hits will start falling, if they can get a few timely ones (unlike yesterday) then we should be in good shape.
