[KingKat]

O.K. in a more normal order now:

 

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

RF - Bautista

C - Navarro

3B - Francisco

DH - Reimold

1B - Johnson

CF - Rasmus

[gruber92]

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

1B - Johnson

C - Navarro

DH - Reimold

RF - Bautista (possibly DH for now)

CF - Rasmus

3B - Francisco

 

I would love to hear your reasoning for batting Bautista seventh.

[comeon sense]

Lind has a terrible diet !

Eats junk food,and soda pop.

[KingKat]

And versus LHP

 

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

1B - Bautista

DH - Navarro

C - Kratz

RF - Reimold

CF - Rasmus

3B - Tolleson

FFS, I was just correcting the defensive positions from his post, adding Johnson and changing the defensive positions accordingly. I didn't think everybody would get so caught up in the order. The order doesn't matter. I obviously don't want Bautista 7th, I was just listing who would play and where. I actually explained this already.

[Anemic0ffense]

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

1B - Johnson

C - Navarro

DH - Reimold

RF - Bautista (possibly DH for now)

CF - Rasmus

3B - Francisco

 

Bautista 7th??? You're on more drugs than Gibbons.

[gruber92]

Start with George Poulis!

 

Poulis and AA should get themselves a hot dog cart selling souvlaki and gyros outside the RC for next year.

[gruber92]

Why is Bautista batting 7th?

 

Lol..

[gruber92]

Lol..

[Anemic0ffense]

Why is Bautista batting 7th?

 

He must have "lit that baby up" like the Angels announcer said. Guy is clearly stoned as f***.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know he corrected himself. Just trolling.

[Atothe]

Trade for altuve or kiss thr season goodbye

 

Jesus you're dumb

[Atothe]

24 years old, controllable for five more years, and in the middle of a 4-5 fWAR season. You could offer them Stroman, Norris, and Pompey and they probably don't even consider it.

 

You love trolling

[jaysfan2014]

Paging Dan Johnson.. I expect he'll be here for the Tampa series (ironic he might be there for the Tampa series.. this is the same guy who hit the HR in 2011 where the Rays came back from a huge deficit vs. the Yankees on the final game of the season, of which later Longoria would hit a walk-off HR to send Tampa to the ALDS.. and cost Francona and Epstein their jobs.

[CJ-Freeway]

Wow. Didn't expect this. Why the f*** isn't Mastroianni's toe broken instead? Fml.

[reedjohnsonfan]

We knew their depth was terrible. You should be able to weather some injuries with decent players but AA failed to do so. A healthy Jays team is a playoff contender and an injured team is not even close... I think the blame has to be on AA.

I don't think many teams could do very well without 3 of their top 6 hitters, but I've been wrong before. Not to mention Bautista playing banged up.

 

I don't know how any team could have the depth to not suffer after such injuries. Call it an excuse if you want, but take Cruz, Machado and another guy out of the O's line up and they won't have the depth. Same with the vaunted Red Sox, Yanks and Rays.

 

Anyway...

Epstein didn't lose his job, he got a better one.

 

When they traded Epstein at that time, I said that I wouldn't be surprised if he goes into the Hall of Fame as the GM that broke both the Red Sox and Cubs legendary world series droughts. That prediction is looking better with each passing season, that farm is a f***ing juggernaut.

What are you talking about? Every contender has a 2nd complete major league sitting down in the minors.

Still at least a year away though. Meanwhile, Cherington might not last long enough to build his vision of a team in Boston, as the current Sox team is worse off now than it was in 2011 and 2012. Collapsing from a World Series to last place will almost certainly cost a GM and coaches their jobs. Red Sox ownership is likely to make big changes this offseason.. don't be surprised if they try to sell the farm to get someone like Giancarlo Stanton, similar to what they did with Adrian Gonzalez.

[CJ-Freeway]

lol what did mastro do today?

 

He just blows and he can't even bunt.

[Gorlak]

Oh dear god! What must be done to appease the baseball gods

[NorthOf49]

Uncle!!

[TheHurl]

Start with George Poulis!

 

and hire Lind's Mom. At least she knows enough to suggest an MRI.

[BTS]

You love trolling

 

Not trolling. There is no reason at all to believe that Houston is inclined to move Altuve, and if they were, the Jays likely don't have the right pieces to land him. You wouldn't move that package for Altuve?

[Stangstag]

And versus LHP

 

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

1B - Bautista

DH - Navarro

C - Kratz

RF - Reimold

CF - Rasmus

3B - Tolleson

 

I don't like that order... Mine would be:

 

SS - Reyes

2B - Kawasaki

LF - Cabrera

1B - Bautista

RF - Reimold

DH - Navarro

C - Kratz

CF - Rasmus

3B - Tolleson

[labadee]

Fire AA. He hires this s*** med staff.

you can have the best med staff of life and would still have to wait 6 weeks for a broken bone.

[declan_44]

I'm assuming AA is of course prepared for this. Mike McDade call up coming up!

[Frenchsoup]

Yes for this particular injury. But you could argue getting him on the dl 3 weeks ago would have been beneficial to the this team. Also other injuries they don't diagnose correctly like Reyes hamstring injury at the start of the year have cost players many games in the long run and cost a few more wins.

[jays4life19]

Injury prone players are injury prone.

 

It's like if your son admitted he was gay and you're all like "f***, why does he keep bringing all these faggots home???" or if your kid has down syndrome and you keep wondering, "f*** why does he keep getting his head stuck in the railing of the staircase???"

 

The Blue Jays keep getting injured because that is their nature. Just like how your gay son can't help but get a boner to dude's butts and your down syndrome kid can't help but do retarded things. Saying the Blue Jays won't get injured this year is like saying "ok, my son got the urge to date guys all out of his system last year, this year he will date women and I can look forward to biological grandkids". Nope, it doesn't work like that.

 

I could dig up my old posts prior to the season stating the desperately under-appreciated need for depth and that the likelihood of the big 5 (EE, Bautista, Reyes, Lawrie and Rasums) averaging even 120 games this year would not be a guarantee. But I'm too lazy.

 

 

Admin, if this post isn't enough for you to add a "dislike" button....then i have no idea what is.
