Why in the world the manager would put Jose Baustista in the clean-up, I mean, what is up with that?  His salad days, they're over.  If you feel, for whatever reason, Baustista has to be in your lineup--and you shouldn't--he should be hitting way down in the order.

Much ado from the talking heads 'bout Pearce batting lead-off, how great his #s are this month.  This would be the same Steve Pearce who did not start Sunday vs. Cubs, a fact discussed by yours truly back then, 3 days prior to the guys @ Rogers waking up and noticing.  

Not saying Pearce should be in the 1-hole; where he bats is of little consequence to a team like Your Js, where they play the power game by design, as evidenced by the fact this team relies so heavily on the long ball to score--again, something I pointed out way back in May, weeks before the Rogers crowd clued in.

Your Js fans, the coverage you get from Rogers, which owns both the team and its broadcast networks, lapdog not watchdog.
