Too bad it's practically impossible for the Jays to acquire top shelf Japanese talent now.

He also hits fairly well. .285/.346/.504 in 136 PA with 5HR and a 29/12 K:BB ratio, not bad for a 19 year old.

How is a percentage a prophecy?

 

You'd have to be a moron to not know that was a figure of speech. I don't think you're a moron, are you?

Well just to get it out of the way, I might be a moron, I'm certainly not going to let you off the hook just to avoid being called a moron by you. Apparently your defense for not knowing what prophecy means is not knowing what figure of speech means. None of what you said consituted a figure of speech.

Beltran fractured his face

However, he won't miss significant time

They really should just put him on the 7 day concussion DL. He'd barely miss any action with the All-Star game looming and it's the right thing to do.

That is the bad news, dl'ing him would have allowed them to upgrade

You certainly seem to fit the bill. <-- figure of speech.

4 of the 5 runs he's given up this year came against the Blue Jays.

 

 

And his average fastball velocity this year? 100.0 mph.

Well played Mauer. But just so you know it was a figure of speech in my mind.

[HammerinHank]

This was so amazing

nice grab...nice job by the baserunner to head back...some baserunners may have assumed it was gonna land...

Too bad the Jays are not playing tonight, I was looking forward to another comedy club routine

There are worse teams than Toronto.

At the moment, I'm not so sure.

berenjenareturns returns?

[HERPDERP]

Both Molina and Phillips out with torn ligaments.

 

Sell Navarrro??

[HERPDERP]

Also a bench clearing between Braves and Reds

Only if you think AJ Jimenez is ready, or you expect Erik Kratz as a starter.

Matt Garza no hitter through 5.2 IP

 

It's in the air. David Buchanan scrub pitching 1-hitter through 5.0.

AJ Jimenez might be ready to be a backup but definitely not to be a starter (which frankly he may never be). Kratz would have to be the starter but Thole would also have to have an increased role with more starts against RHP (which might not be a bad thing actually).

[HERPDERP]

whoever said that Beltran should be DL'd with a concussion, they did just that

 

man this division is going down hard

[jaysfan2014]

Yadier Molina out 8-12 weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb! Pirates, Brewers and Reds fans just got really excited.. now the NL Central is up for grabs.

[shortstop]

and the O's remain relatively healthy...something's gotta give on their end...

[jaysfan2014]

No kidding. And with Baltimore's upcoming deadly west coast swing and overall difficult 2nd half sked, the Jays have a good shot to make a run in the East if they can hit.. we have the weakest schedule in the AL from here until season's end.

 

Oh and Solarte recalled due to Beltran's injury. They have Zealous Wheeler playing RF tonight.. watch the game on Sportsnet BTW.

Just need Nelson f'n Cruz to go down and we can all limp in to September neck and neck

[HERPDERP]

you're hoping for another player to get injured?! What kind of sick person are you?!

 

But yees.
