morrow's been pushed back it's ramon ortiz tomorrow bro, lol.

 

aw jeeze

[dineke]

We currently have: Ortiz, Rogers, Lincoln, and some other guy with a weird name that I can't remember right now.

 

It's a thin bullpen.

 

Well those are garbage time pitchers. The one's that have pitched meaningful innings have been good so far this year. Gibby's management helps.

[Stangstag]

With that said though, Aviles and Snider make this team better. Means no need for Bonifacio or DeRosa (although he has been solid)

 

Agreed. AA greatly undervalues the bench it seems.

[G-Snarls]

Santos is good when his arm isn't falling off, Cecil is great, Jansen is great, Oliver is decent, Loup is decent, Rogers and Lincoln are misses i guess. Not a bad pen.

 

Don't forget Delabar for the good list!

Im hoping we use Stroman in the pen this year. Get him up and helping the big team.

 

The numbers are actually a little deceptive. In general Loup has been almost below average this year when you take his LOB% into account.

 

Rogers: 66%

Loup: 67.5%

Cecil 77%

Lincoln 78%

 

Those are pretty average. Rogers and Loup have been terrible in key situations.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Can't wait to see (a strike throwing) Luis Perez back in the fold. He'd be so valuable right now as a shut down swing man type of guy. Are there any updates on his status?

Mickey "f***ing" Storey

[Angrioter]

Yanks up 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th....Smoak lined into a double play.......figures.

 

Ackley and Smoak BUSTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[G-Snarls]

Going on Jays talk to complain about injury assessment

[Chappy]

Rivera on to close out the M's s*** the bed Rivera!

 

Man, was hoping the Yanks would lose today. Oh well...

[digiblader]

Well, Boston, Cleveland and Baltimore lost.. so we gain ground.

[digiblader]

Better give Matt Moore some All-Star votes(if pitchers were voted).. he's 7-0!

[DH12]

Snider's cooled off lately and Boni is improving as of late

[G-Snarls]

Man, was hoping the Yanks would lose today. Oh well...

 

Nope

 

Rivera's still got it

[Chappy]

Hopefully the Jays bats saved some for tomorrow. A sweep would be pretty huge for this team at this point.

[dineke]

Nope

 

Rivera's still got it

 

lol are you greg?

[Chappy]

Nope

 

Rivera's still got it

 

Man Rivera is as automatic as they come. At least its going to be his last year for the Yanks. Good for the rest of the division, bad for baseball.

[Chappy]

The Red Sox are in a tailspin right now. Here's hoping it continues.

[G-Snarls]

lol are you greg?

 

Yep

[oakville69]

I know Snider is a huge bust... But you can't tell me Lincoln is more valuable. The guy is terrible. Snider could've been a solid 4th OFer/LH option off the bench.

 

Agreed. The Jays did not let Snider play a full season in 2011 even after he was healthy & they told him he could stay the entire season. Why was AA so quick to demote Snider, yet Rivera, Patterson, & Fred Lewis got regular playing time.?

 

It's even more unusual because AA's early trades was picking up players who got jerked around by their prior teams. Morrow was a reliever/starter for the Mariners. Lawrie was a misfit for the Brewers etc...

 

Snider would have been great as a 4th OF. Maybe there were clubhouse issues?

 

It's odd because Lincoln was a higher draft pick than Snider yet wouldn't Snider have more value to most teams than another middle reliever???

[oakville69]

Will be interesting to see how Morrow looks tomorrow.Dickey wasn't great but at the end of the day you can't ask for much more.

 

Great night overall.

 

Morrow's start has been delayed again. It's Ortiz taking his spot. Morrow has back issues, I think.

[Chappy]

Move to PGT.

[G-Snarls]

Morrow's start has been delayed again. It's Ortiz taking his spot. Morrow has back issues, I think.

 

Yep. But Wilner says there are no issues with injury reporting or assessment.
