Cleveland 6, Toronto 3: This Changes Nothing

I don't even know, man.
The Indians are still bogus and the Blue Jays are still pretty good. I am convinced of these two facts -- yes, facts -- even after last night's 6-3 loss. Brandon Morrow continues to do that thing he does whereby he can strike all kinds of dudes out (like nine, even) but still have a bad start (six runs in six innings, say). It was almost not that bad though: with two out in the fifth, Carlos Santana, who is awesome, doubled to right. The throw from Jose Bautista to Aaron Hill to J. P. Arencibia beat Travis Buck to the plate, but Arencibia couldn't hold on. I do not blame him for that, necessarily, as catchers mitts are nuts. But instead of the inning ending there, that run and then two more came in, and a fairly undaunting 3-0 deficit is all of a sudden 6-0, and you just go ahead and do something else with the remainder of your evening. 

In Jose Bautista news: his 3-5 with a run scored puts him at 4.9 WAR through May, which means he could realistically surpass the value of his entire 54 home run season in about another month. Also, you love him.
