GDT(2/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Texas Rangers - Buehrle vs. Grimm - 8:05 PM ET

[DH12]

He should be but won't. If he does that I bet its career suicide for him. He has to get something out of this and I really think he is aggressive this winter and makes a few bold moves to shore this team up. If that fails, then yeah, blow it up and find a new GM.

 

Not sure if Rogers will let him spend the money after this years disaster

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Nice insurance run there.

 

That;s how you f***ing execute.

Maybe it will encourage him to not be a dumbf***...

If they were only a few players away from being a contender I would say yes but they look like they need more than a few extra players

[P2F]

Funny you mention that, Fangraphs made an article with a bunch of .gifs of Davis' home runs where it's like he's shooing a fly away.

I'll see if I can find that article. Thanks.

Beeston will be on the last year of his deal, I bet he puts up a big case for added funds. If this team gets back to respectability, then they may very well have a case to make. Not advocating this, just thinking about it from AA's perspective.

I firmly believe AA will shop some players but not guys we can't replace from the system . Guys that are free agents . Shop but doesn't mean he pulls the trigger . Johnson, Raja Davis , Izturis/ Bonifacio , Oliver and maybe even Wang if He gains value in the next month and a half. Not saying we can replace pitchers like JJ but WTF we aren't winning with him and he is a free agent , Gose can replace Raja and Oliver isn't needed anymore .

[Chappy]

This is one fast f***ing game. MB style....

[Angrioter]

3 more outs

 

"Blue Jays 22-0 when leading after 7 innings"

[Dylan]

What a friggen mess at second base

[theblujay]

Just checking the score, nice game so far!

Lind is still hot and HRs from the two all or nothings.

 

But it's all the starting pitching. Buehrle getting it done.

[JFD]

that's more like it bonehead

[kgm1]

Another error at 2nd

Makes such a difference... lol

If the Jays lose this, I think you should be banned for jinxing.....

[Angrioter]

Boni lol

[Dylan]

Bring back MB for the 8th!

 

kkkkkkk!

[Cello]

Grimm

85 pitches, 59 strikes

 

Buehrle

100 pitches, 64 strikes

 

Another solid performance by our starter!

No doubt Ken. He certainly will shop those guys, I am referring more to guys that are under contract next year and beyond. If he can net us some assets for expiring contracts it will go a long way to helping our farm after he decimates it in the winter.

[Angrioter]

Buehrle 5 QS in a row

[Abomination]

So, do people give JPA credit for all those pitches off the plate being called strikes tonight?

[Chappy]

That will be the most of it Ken, no doubt.They have a 3 year window on their plan. Nice turn by the D there.

 

The thing is, this group is close, we just need some more durable pieces. This team is fragile as s*** and it sucks knowing that they could perform if guys could stay healthy.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Another great start for Buehrle!

[Chappy]

Buehrle is the rock in the rotation.

JP has looked fine tonight.

[GD]

Could Buehrle pitch our first CGS in ever?

[DH12]

They will have to finish at least .500 probably a lot more than that in order to justify being close to a winner. Don't see it happening.

[Captain Adama]

Classic Buehrle start.

Team has talent just no frigging rotation .. That could change and this team could finsally gel and be competetive . If that is the case Rogers may MAY add some funds but I don't see huge increases. Still I believe AA was asked by Rogers to spend and get competative
