I've heard a fair share of Blue Jays fans complaining when the Fays released Jo-Jo Reyes - his record wasn't so bad, he was just having some bad luck, he's a lefty afterall, surely they could have gotten something for him.
Reyes' record with the Jays was deceiving. Even when he won games he didn't look that good but seemed to have won games because of solid run support from the offense. There is a good reason why you go 28 starts without a win. There is a reason why only the pitching starved Orioles pick you up. You stink!
Reyes didn't disappoint me tonight as the Jays clobbered the Orioles 13-0. He went 2.2 innings giving up 8 hits, 7 runs and 2 homers. At times it looked like batting practice. He wanted to prove Blue Jays management that they were wrong to put him on waivers but only proved they made the right call.
Meanwhile young Henderson Alvarez, Reyes' replacement in the rotation pitched a gem - an 8-innings with no runs or walks and only 3 hits on just 97 pitches.
