[G-Snarls]

First full game I'll have watched in about 2-3 weeks.

 

Go Jays!

 

(And Hutch)

[Arkadium]

Are the flood gates opening already?

 

Good god, Rogers' swagger is annoying particularly when he sucks.

[G-Snarls]

Dammit

 

I liked the first 3 pitches from Rogers

 

Then hard hit ball and a walk. Blech.

[G-Snarls]

Are the flood gates opening already?

 

Good god, Rogers' swagger is annoying particularly when he sucks.

 

Yep. It was so satisfying seeing Jose Valverde start to stink for the same reason.

[Arkadium]

Rogers DFA tonight

[G-Snarls]

Yep

 

3-0 with nobody out in the first

 

Could be a long night...

[G-Snarls]

Rogers DFA tonight

 

Yep. Think so.

 

Hutch ready??? (I know he's not, unfortunately)

[Jays]

Game over

[G-Snarls]

Let's watch the Bisons game instead

[Daniel Labude]

Get rogers off the team asap

[BlueJayWay]

hjj

[Arkadium]

Rogers DFA tonight

 

Thanks for being a waste of talent Rogers.

[havok24]

lol Rogers is brutal.

[Arkadium]

Yep. Think so.

 

Hutch ready??? (I know he's not, unfortunately)

 

At least the timing is right for his next start, Hutch starts tonight as well.

[o2cui2i]

nothing like BP fastballs to get a team hitting

[BlueJayWay]

He's hit his innings limit. Same thing as CV prior.

He's hit the wall

[G-Snarls]

nothing like BP fastballs to get a team hitting

 

Esmil Rogers gets the Oakland bats out of a slump...

[Arkadium]

Lol.... Esmil not fooling anyone... is it really so difficult to just get the ball down?

[o2cui2i]

it's going to be a long night

[Clojojo]

Hopefully DFA'd tonight

I could never cheer for a guy called Rogers anyway

[Arkadium]

And Hutch just gave up a Grand Slam... the fun never ends!

[Arkadium]

Blue Jays pitching report:

 

Happ - Bad

Dickey - Pretty bad

Johnson - Awful

Buehrle - Okay

Rogers - Bad

 

2014, are you ready?

[JohnnyLonghorn]

lol I've seen enough.

[havok24]

Nice pitching depth you assembled there AA!

[Arkadium]

Not one starting pitcher has been not totally terrible.

 

Lol

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

This franchise is a f***ing embarrassment. AA is a disgrace.

[o2cui2i]

Buehrle and Dickey have both been pretty great 4 types.

 

problem is that Buehrle is getting number 2 money

[JohnnyLonghorn]

In Beuhrle's defence, his post April numbers have been pretty stellar. Everyone else has been either bad or downright terrible.
