Games 15-21 (Blue Jays)

The Jays won the 1st 3 of the 6 games and looked to be continuing their streak. The next game however, they got destroyed by the Red Sox, losing the 2nd of as many games vs. Boston. The next game was just as rough a loss as the team lost in 9 innings (i play 5) vs. the other Sox in Chicago. The Jays looked to rebound but it took them 10 more innings against to get the victory against Atlanta. The Jays were looking like they were about to slow off that tear they were on, but game 19 came easy in a shutout vs. Washington. For some reason, I cant access box scored from games 15-17 and 19 (dunno why, prob some kind of glitch).

Game 15: Blue Jays 3, Rays 0
W: Luebke, L: Niemann, SV: Santos
Stats: N/A

Game 16: Blue Jays 3, Rangers 1
W: Villanueva, L: Lewis, SV: Santos
Stats: N/A

Game 17: Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4
W: Chacin, L: Wade, SV: Santos
Stats: N/A

Game 18: Blue Jays 0, Red Sox 6:
W: Buchholtz (3-0), L: Alvarez (2-1)
Blue Jays:
Alvarez - 1IP 6H, 5ER, 1K
Red Sox:
Buchholtz - 5IP 2H, 0ER, 3K
Gonzalez - 2/3 HR, 2RBI, 2R
Youkillis - 1/2 2RBI, R
Drew - 1/2 2RBI, 2B

- The Jays couldn't get any offense off of Buchholtz, and couldn't stop Boston, as Alvarez takes his first bad loss of the season getting chased after 1 inning allowing 5 runs on 6 hits. Buchholtz was fantastic allowing only 2 hits in the game. In the 1st, Gonzalez dove in a run with a single, Youk drove in 2 with a single, and Drew doubled home 2. Gonzalez hit a solo HR in the 2nd to make it 6-0 and that's about all that happened the rest of the game.

Game 19: Blue Jays 3, White Sox 4 (9 Innings):
W: Thornton, L: Olliver
Stats: N/A
Game 20: Blue Jays 3, Braves 2 (10 Innings):
W: Villanueva (3-0), L: O'Flaherty (0-1), SV: Santos (8)
Blue Jays:
Bautista - 0/3, R, BB
Lind - 2/4, R
Lawrie - 2/4, 3B, 2RBI
Wells - 2/4, HR(2), RBI, R
Luebke - 3IP 4H, 2ER, 3K
Villanueva - 4IP 0H, 0ER, 4K
Braves:
Hanson - 8.1IP 8H, 2ER, BB, 2K
Prado - 2/4, RBI, 2-2B, R
McCann - 1/4, RBI, 2K

- The Jays play back to back 5+ extra inning games but this one turned out to be the better of the 2 as they came away with the 3-2 win. Villanueva came in to pitch 4 innings of long relief hit less ball to get the Win, his 3rd of the season. Atlanta got to Luebke quick after Prado doubled home Bourne, and McCan singled home him. It wasn't until the 4th that Lawrie tripled home 2 Runs to tie it. The game went right to the 10th inning where Casper Wells hit his 1st HR with the Jays to make it 3-2 on a solo shot. Santos closed out the game to seal the victory.

Game 21: Blue Jays 3, Nationals 0:
W: Romero (4-0), L: Strasburg (3-2), SV: Santos (9)
Blue Jays:
Bautista - 1/2 HR(5), RBI, R
Lind - 1/2 HR(11), RBI, R
Lawrie - 1/2 HR(4), RBI, R
Romero - 4IP 3H, 0ER, 4K
Nationals:
Strasburg - 4IP 4H, 3ER, 3K

- The Jays faced a tough young pitcher but got to him hitting 3 HR on only 4 entire hits in the game. Romero pitched another gem, playing 4 innings of 3 hit ball for the shutout. The Home Runs came in the 1st as Bautista and Lind both saw a hanging Curve ball to smash it over the fence, 2-0. Later in the 4th, Lawrie smashed a inside fastball 400 ft for a solo HR to end the scoring.

**PS if anyone knows why I wasn't allowed to view Stats for each game that says N/A could you please comment lol. Thanks**

no problem, i might even start one up now!
what sliders do you use?

# 4 BlueJays09 @ Mar 23

nice if you start one let me know...love following other ppl's dynasties. i use pro regular sliders but i turn contact/power up to 55 (over 50) for computer. i find it great for me. i win some games big, win some shutouts, but also lose some as well (got destroyed by boston and haven't won vs them yet). also just had 2 games go 5+ extra innings (i play 5 innings) so its working for me. hope this helps
