The Jays were 9-18 in the 27 games prior to Edwin missing time.

 

Yep. The offense was already failing badly well BEFORE the guys all got hurt.

You know what? We have infield depth now, the one thing we seemed to lack maybe most last year and first 2/3 of this year. (Well, last year the SP was the biggest problem)

 

Valencia, Tolleson, Kawasaki, and heck even Goins and Francisco in small doses can provide some good service.

 

The offense will be much deeper when EE and Lind are back, if Gibby can then figure out where to use the above guys and get the most out of them.

 

The starting rotation continues to perform well, in large part thanks to the emergence of Stroman. I'd still LOVE another 1/2 caliber guy but it's working fine right now.

 

It's a shame the bullpen is suddenly so rocky - that seems like the weakest link right now. He can't really trust anyone right now.

What are you talking about? EE was in the line up and the team still went 9-18 in the 27 games prior to his getting hurt...clearly, the team is better off without him.

Edwin trying his best to kill people again.. he's good to go!

 

We need to know if he lost control of any bats, that's usually a clear indication that EE is in top baseball form.

Does he have his trusty Parrot sidekick with him?

Yeah, but it sure doesn't hurt to get them back? Moogy's an idiot.

 

Yes of course :)

 

And Moogy being Moogy

it only hurts getting injured players back if they are made of glass and break while going through their pregame shaving maneuvers. (cough cough... Lawrie... cough)

Well, time to have Lawrie grow a beard I guess - nothing for it ;).

This is akin to the SOS argument that was had on these boards. "They're playing s***** teams and the Orioles are facing a gauntlet! The division is ours!" And, then, not so much.

 

Of course, I was correct about that, as well.

 

And, now, it was "the WC is/was a lock with EE around." Well, yeah ... no. Obviously. And that's the context in which that comment was made. Is the team generally likely to be better off with a healthy EE back? Sure. But that doesn't mean the team will do any better than it has been doing. Because EE may not perform well. And because other players may take a downturn, "cancelling" out the positive contributions from EE.

 

There is a difference - a simple obvious difference, which apparently escapes you - between saying EE will lead the team to the promised land, and saying you'd rather have EE than not have EE.

 

Now go blame Rogers for providing the front office with enough payroll room to easily field a winner. Those bastards. Damn them. Damn them straight to hell.

 

 

I'm glad you and I agree that the Blue Jays are better off with EE....thank you.

So Lind & EE during this Seattle series if all goes well and Lawrie in possibly a wk or two. Any news on Morrow and his progress? Last I heard he was lightly throwing a few wks ago.

We haven't had any news on morrow for a while, which leads me to believe he has to have surgery

Edwin back tomorrow?

 

Please someone tell me Edwin did not leave the game after 1 AB because he got injured....

f***, not much other explanation. Season over!

There is a chance they wanted to get him 1 ab and then will play him in the second game. But that would be weird. Ugh dont be injured.

Poor conditions in today's game, so they pulled him. He's now on his way to Buffalo to play a series with the Bisons. I imagine this means he'll be back this weekend.

 

Good news!

Not official yet but all the usual writers expect Lind to be activated today and in the lineup tonight

 

Mills was DFA last night, making room

We need EE back in a big way. Hopefully they can win the next two and keep things close until we get our elite cleanup hitter back.
