I hope you guys enjoy the final series of the year and the GDT! Please leave feedback and ideas/improvements for future GDTs!

[Jays]

Go Rays.

[Jays]

Anthony Gose and his power in the 5-hole!

 

We should let Dwayne Murphy coach him and unlock that hidden power potential.

[G-Snarls]

This could be a long day for Happ

[oakville69]

Is Happ the 5th starter next year? Jays have a surplus of 5th starters.

[Jays]

Solid hit by Loney.

[DH12]

Catch the ball Lawrie you tool

[kgm1]

Go Rays.

Happless should get us a loss

[G-Snarls]

Catch the ball Lawrie you tool

 

Yep. Goins had to walk across the mond to get from that. Happ's or Lawrie's ball.

[G-Snarls]

Lawrie redeems himslef with a tough catch oin foul territory.

[Jays]

The bottom 4 in our line up look pretty bad.

[G-Snarls]

The bottom 4 in our line up look pretty bad.

 

 

They are bad

 

The guys batting 2-5 today should be the bottom of the order

 

EE, Bautista, Rasmus all missing is the problem

[G-Snarls]

Archer getting way too much of the plate

[G-Snarls]

Yet Sierra swings at the ONE ball in the dirt for a strikeout

 

Ug

[G-Snarls]

Gose isn't ready. His new swing mechanics look better but hes gotta go down and apply it consistently and more increased focus of getting on base.

 

Yep. I can almost accept the .250 ish BA, but still too way too many K's and nowehere near enough walks. OBP < .300

[Jays]

Scott Carson sighting.

[Jays]

Langerhans showing the BlueJays fundamentals by getting hit on the hand during a bunt.

[kgm1]

Go Pirates

[kgm1]

Rays just want to play a tie breaker .

[Angrioter]

Adam Lind a hated person by the Tampa sides.

[kgm1]

Happless pitching like he doesn't want to be the highest paid pitcher in AAA next year

[Jays]

f*** off BlueJays.

[kgm1]

Hes had a few good outings down the strech. I'm hoping its enough to get him traded. It just might be. Besides Romero will be the highest paid pitching in AAA.

 

If Romero is in AAA he won't be with the Jays . He won't accept it and will become a free agent

[kgm1]

Buck , building up Thole , Don't bother Buck , We will have two new Catchers here next year

[kgm1]

Well if he wants to get paid he will accept it. Hes still under contract.

 

I don't believe that is right . I think he can become a free agent

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** if we hold on win this...

 

Tanknation or not, I'm so tired of losing to Tampa I'm loving this.

[DH12]

The loss of Rasmus and Buatista isn't hurting them today one bit. In fact it may be helping. One of them will be traded this offseason likely Rasmus

 

They are bad

 

The guys batting 2-5 today should be the bottom of the order

 

EE, Bautista, Rasmus all missing is the problem

[G-Snarls]

I don't believe that is right . I think he can become a free agent

 

1. Article XX (. A player with at least 6 years of Major League service time and no contract for the next season is eligible for free agency and may negotiate with any club. CBA, Article XX (.

 

2. Outright of a three-year player. A player with three years of Major League service who is assigned outright to the minor leagues may 1) refuse the assignment and elect immediate free agency or 2) accept the assignment and elect free agency between the end of the Major League season and Oct. 15, unless the player is returned to the Major League roster before electing free agency. A player who qualified for arbitration as a Super Two in the previous off-season and is subsequently sent outright to the minor leagues may refuse the assignment and elect immediate free agency but may not accept the assignment and elect free agency at the end of the season.

 

3. Second outright assignment. A player who is assigned outright to the minor leagues for the second time for any subsequent time in his career may 1) refuse the assignment and elect immediate free agency or 2) accept the assignment and elect free agency between the end of the Major League season and Oct. 15, unless the player is returned to the Major League roster before electing free agency.

matters not what we want our AAA lineup is killing TB

[G-Snarls]

Confusing but I think Ricky can refuse a minor league assignment and become a FA any time, but why would he? No other team is going to pay him anywhere near the 7.5 M x 2 years the Jays are on re hook for.
