In today`s POTD we look at a range of pitchers, not just one.  We have a selection of pitcher deliveries for you to view.

The Jays finally win one against the Red Sox (3-2) and now head home for a series with Texas.

I get that this is a rebuilding year.  In fact, I'm all for it.  As I've said before, I was and remain well prepared for 95 losses this season. 

The Jays affiliates managed a winning night by going 2-1 that included a shootout, an extra innings win and a game postponed due to the G20 Summit.  I'm not buying one word of this "postponed due to rain BS". However, the best news of the night came from the mound in Dunedin.

In news you can file under "Total BS", Bluejays.com's Jordan Bastian reports the June 25-27 series between the Phillies and the Blue Jays has been moved from the Rogers Centre to Citizens Bank Park thanks to the G-20 Summit in downtown Toronto.  So much for that tribute for Doc in the series opener.  Why a double-header couldn't be scheduled is beyond me!!!  Effing politicians!!  They all suck!

Today we feature Trystan Magnuson in our photo and video of the day.  Magnuson has been pitching very well for New Hampshire this season, he has a 1.40 ERA in 12 games.  Magnuson has walked just two batters over 19.1 innings and his WHIP is under 1.

Despite Brandon Morrow's best efforts, the Jays actually made it close.

The Jays are close to signing a Venezuelan righty named Adonis Cardona. I'm guessing a cross between Adeiny Hechevarria and Fausto Carmona? I'll take it.

The farm split their four games on Monday night, and this week we take an in-depth look at New Hampshire's season-to-date.

The good people at Information is Beautiful linked to some sports-related stuff today, here. Some of it's baseball-related, but it's this one that captured my attention. It's an attempt to display, visually and intuitively, how much fan support major league baseball teams get relative to the size of their market and their won-lost record and what have you. (The formula is given.)

...who's that team bringing up the rear?

Oh.

I remember everything
I knew all along we were pushing our luck

Back to Fenway....

Well you should.  Because he threw a shutout today.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden has pitched the 19th perfect game in MLB history. Less than a minute ago, the hurler completed a 4-0 gem against Tampa Bay.

Story on ESPN.com ...

It was an ugly night on the farm.  Las Vegas went down early and couldn't mount any kind of comeback.  New Hampshire kept it close until the fifth when the floodgates opened.  Dunedin, like New Hampshire, kept it close, but couldn't win as Henderson Alvarez was a bit shaky again.  Lansing took a 4-0 lead to the bottom of the ninth and lost thanks in part to two errors.

 

New Hampshire trailed 5-0 after seven innings and they had only one hit in the game.  But they exploded for seven runs in the eighth and won.  The win masked a rough start by Zach Stewart.  The Lugnuts racked up 16 hits to support Chad Jenkins on their way to a win.  Las Vegas and Dunedin were losers Friday.
