Let the earth hide thee!
Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold;
Thou hast no speculation in those eyes
Which thou dost glare with.

Travis Snider has been optioned to AAA Vegas. He'll be joined by Chris Woodward, who has been outrighted to the 51s. Room is thus created on the active roster for CF Rajai Davis and 1B David Cooper.

No, really, we don't just publish threads for wins. But ... Mitch Moreland? Derek Holland? Cody Eppley? Really?

Rangers 7, Jays 6. (Discuss.)

P.S. Trivia time ... Texas has the second-best record in the AL right now. Without looking it up -- can you guess which team has the best?

A couple of pitching gems steal the show, and New Hampshire lets loose.

Today's POTD takes a look at the Jays most recent win of the walk-off variety.

Adam Lind holds Sam Fuld at first base after Fuld started the game with a single off lefty Jo-Jo Reyes.  He would score the game's first run and cross the plate three times thanks to a three-hit night with a pair of stolen bases.

A Tuesday night in Colorado Springs to forget for a recently demoted starter but a trio of outfielders is on the comeback trail.  It was a 1-for-3 night for the affiliates but the one was a walk off win in extras.

And the Jays win their second straight in Arlington.

22 games corresponds to about 13.6% of the season. That's as good a time as any to take stock, right? No? Well, whatever.

It was a good win for the Jays tonight. The offense came out of their weekend funk with a nine hit, five walk performance, and three of the hits (homers by Patterson, Bautista and Rivera) gave Drabek enough support to pick up his second win. Let's go through what each member of the line-up did tonight and see where they're at on the season.

The Batter's Box Institute For Finding Meaningless Patterns Which Inform the Naming of Minor League Updates would like to inform you that all three minor league contests on Monday night ended in scores whose sums were 11. Only the best here at Batter's Box.

I may have mentioned this before sometime.

Random shots from last April during a game at Citi Field involving the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers and from last August at PNC Park when the Mets visited the Pittsburgh Pirates.


New York Mets ace Johan Santana delivers.

This could be a problem...

There were just two games on the schedule for the baby Jays on Easter Sunday. The clubs were 0-for-2 on the day. Since there wasn't much to report, I have included a bonus look at some of the young players in the system that face a make-or-break year in terms of their prospect status.

There wasn't overwhelming feedback against my initial suggestion in the other thread, so we'll go with Opera Bob's on Wednesday for the first (of hopefully many!) Batter's Box Beer Clubs of 2011. Let me know if you plan on dropping by!

A snow out shorted Las Vegas’ game to 7 innings and New Hampshire was rained out. Lansing made us proud and Dunedin did not.

A big win last night for the Jays, with David Price and James Shields lined up for today and tomorrow a win in game one was important.

Jayson Nix has gone on the DL after Sean Rodriguez repositioned his lower body, Mike McCoy is back up.

Jose Bautista got the Jays to extra innings, he scored all four runs scored in the regulation nine.  Rajai Davis started his rehab last night, as did Scott Podsednik and DeWayne Wise.  It can't come too soon as Corey Patterson has returned to his being Corey Patterson and his batting average is down to .214.
