GDT(3/3): Cleveland Indians @ Toronto Blue Jays - Happ vs. Salazar - 7:07 PM ET

[saskjayfan]

I just have a complete calmness when Janssen takes the mound. I know he's going to blow the odd save....but teams will earn it....Janssen just never gives it away...what a strike throwing machine.

[Dylan]

Jays win!

 

welcome back casey

[Convo]

Janssen is lovely.

[Convo]

Never in doubt with Janssen on the mound. What an upgrade over Santos.

 

He makes it look easy

[Candy Maldonado]

I love Janssen.

[G-Snarls]

Janssen is money

[fatcowxlive]

What? You expect him to hit for power? Look, you've gotta accept that Escobar was given away because of the "maricon" incident. This is the way this franchise is run, don't blame Reyes for that.

 

Reyes has a history of getting injured and it's for all to see, blame AA for being dumb.

 

I'm not blaming Reyes for that. It's not Reyes's fault that Loria gave him $22M a year like a retard. And it's not Reyes's fault that AA traded for him.

 

I'm not blaming Reyes at all actually. All I'm doing is evaluating his contract. $22MM Is paid to a player who is not an injury threat and can do at least 4/5 of the tools with the exception of a corner OF/1B good glove + offensive powerhouse. Reyes lacks range and lacks power and on top of that he's an injury concern. There's nothing wrong with evaluating a contract bro

[jays76]

Another successful reverse jinx.

 

In the words of the immortal Borat: Very Nice, I like!

[Convo]

Considering we haven't seen Reyes at his best and the fact that hes been injured for half his tenure. Not the greatest comparison. Yunel was a sulky douche bag who didn't make any effort to play hard. I was glad he was shipped out just wish we got more but he f***ed that up with his s***** 2012 and dumb eye black.

 

Nevertheless, it's what they've done over the last 3 seasons.

[G-Snarls]

3 balls in play

 

Someone will say Janssen was lucky tonight

Great win. Happ wasn't happless, pitched a decent game and EE is so hot he is carrying the team . Back at 500 at 21 and 21 with the BP losses at 9 . McGowan will improve the pen and the Stroman will hopefully get his first MLB start

[o2cui2i]

back to .500

[Atothe]

When the jays lose, they lose big or in dramatic fashion

Stro-show needs to relax and trust his stuff. it really seems like he is trying to hard to impress. Maybe if he gets to start he can get some mojo?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Santos finds a way to turn that into a 30 pitch adventure.

You can't say that about an injury prone player. Also sulky or not, numbers are numbers. He wasn't a cancer in the clubhouse and was easily a top 5 defensive SS in the majors, what more do you want out of $5M?

If only Happ could face bad hitting lefty teams every start.

[jaysblue]

Not true...

 

Santos > Janssen

[Angrioter]

Janssen here one months ago and the jays could be in the 1st place easy

[jaysblue]

Yeah his xFIP took a hit. No strikeouts at all. He was extremely lucky that those balls were hit right at fielders!

[jays76]

Hindsight is always 20/20 but at that time I don't think too many GM's are passing up the opportunity to have Jose Reyes as your starter over GIDP king Yunel Escobar..

[jaysblue]

Janssen's xFIP today was 5.71. He was awful.

[fatcowxlive]

Hustle and atleast pretending like he cared.

 

Why not pay McCoy and play him at short everyday?

[ElNik2013]

Alright bro. At least let go of your Escobar obsession...or we'll think tu eres maricon.

[Candy Maldonado]

Not true...

 

Santos > Janssen

 

This. Santos was just unlucky with all his walks, wild pitches. poor pitch framing and homers allowed.

[The_DH]

Is this still a thing?

 

It's back.

Not at the price we paid to get him over here

NEVER!!!!!! I still have my jersey!!

[ElNik2013]

Holy crap, the Red Sox lost 2 of 3 to the Twins @ Minnesota, the sky be fallin'!

[jaysblue]

Yeah, all the walks and wild pitches weren't his fault, just bad luck.
