dumbass team

[jaysfan2014]

Ugh Gose... we could've scored another run on Reyes' double but he had to get fooled.

[NorthOf49]

WTF just happened?!

 

We don't know if Reyes would have doubled had Gose been safe though.

[Atothe]

Where does Robert Coello's forkball rank?

 

its very close just like Felix's hard change up

[Angrioter]

f***. I hate Rajai

[Atothe]

Dumb dumb dumb Gose

[ElNik2013]

Blue Jays front office not exactly in the game of acquiring "intelligent" prospects and talent are they?

 

 

You seem less tolerant of this FO lately, what made you lose whatever confidence you had left in them?

[Atothe]

Stroman is crazy

[ElNik2013]

AA's been saying for years that he wants to build a young stable of starters. Now he almost has that in Stroman, Hutchison and one of Sanchez, Norris.

 

I don't think he'd consider trading Stroman.

 

 

Yup, which is another reason I, and many others, were shocked that he'd trade for old and expensive pitchers like Buehrle and Dickey. We'll see what happens.

[Atothe]

STROSHOW is complete

[JaysFan4Ever]

He's filthy! He's dealing. He's the Stro.

[Atothe]

Melky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Atothe]

Nice hold Rivera, Bautista hit that really hard

[JFD]

long single.. no kidding

[Orgfiller]

Wow he played that perfectly off the wall.

[Atothe]

Jesus Christ... Only the Blue Jays can manage to f*** that up

 

what, don't start this ******** again

[Atothe]

Big Boy!!!11

[Orgfiller]

Attaboy Navarro!

[ElNik2013]

I can't stand this team's celebrations after a freakin' single or they score a run, especially coming from guys like Navarro and Reyes.

[NorthOf49]

Now they can safely take Stroman out if they want to.

[Atothe]

Good job Danny

why exactly would you be upset about players celebrating scoring runs....you'd rather they celebrate grounding out?

[ElNik2013]

LOL, to be expected, the resident Blue Jays homer to the rescue. It's mostly a couple of them, like Navarro and Reyes, who play bad defense and celebrate hits as a big f***ing deal. How about they concentrate on their deficient defense instead...

[JFD]

it's ok if they're winning. pisses me off when they're losing a blowout and do that.

[jaysfan2014]

At the time, it was necessary, because Stroman was in AA, and Hutch was recovering from Tommy John surgery, and Sanchez was still in A ball. Jays fans at the time didn't want to wait until 2014-2015 for those pitchers to come up. Casual fans don't have the patience.

 

BTW, Nicolino and Syndergaard aren't close to the majors this season, as neither is expected to reach the majors until 2015(Syndergaard) or later, in Nicolino's case(he's in AA still)

 

However, we should have kept Henderson Alvarez..although it's unknown how he'd do in the AL if he had stayed. FYI, Desclafani, who we also traded, did get to the majors, but with poor results.

 

Otherwise, you're right that we should have kept the guys we traded..

[Orgfiller]

I was going to say that we should try stealing against this pitcher because of his high leg kick, good job Gump.

[ElNik2013]

Yeah, that's the thing, it's annoying, but this is the team the assembled.

[JFD]

what;s with this chocolate milk commercial? does it have to be chocolate milk? regular milk doesn't work? LOL

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

why exactly would you be upset about players celebrating scoring runs....you'd rather they celebrate grounding out?

It's annoying when the team sucks and/or is losing. For instance, the "Lo Viste" crap from last year was rage-inducing.
