GDT(2/3): Your Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles - Sanchez v Jimenez - 7:05 PM ET

[o2cui2i]

I think we're mostly concerned about the accounts that do nothing but post comments about bad ownership, bad players, bad manager, etc.

 

and I've been toasting those. if someone has 20 posts that are one long rant, they get cut from the vine. But they just create new accounts and come back like cancer

Yeah... I guess thats what happens with the popularity of this forum now. All the idiots flock here since it is the most active Jays forum on the internet, and we get more and more new posters each year.

 

It just feels like this place is a constant cesspool of negativity any time we are losing a game

You have done a good job...the other mods seem to be posting way less this year.

One loss in a 162 game season and this place goes retarded. The desire to share ideas and opinions here is slowly dwindling. Troll accounts combined with punk sarcasm is becoming unbearable.

Problem is (as most message boards are the same) is a few posters attack opinions that differ from their own.

The same posters here attack anyone and call for bans as soon as someone posts something negative or they dont agree with.

 

Why not ignore them? That would stop all the bickering.

[Jayday]

I'm with you, thanks for the cleanup!

 

I concur.

[Errorcebia]

Why was Pompey batting second again? He is projected to be the worst hitter on the team, so I don't understand why he is getting put in such high spots.

Totally agree. As soon as anyone posts something negative they get called a troll unless it's in line with popular opinion (i.e. fangraphs). Do some people want this to be the rose coloured glasses forum? Seems like it.

[Stangstag]

Can someone list all of the Mods on the forum? I'm just wondering. I know Juiced is the Admin and he rarely posts here

[ScientificReason]

I know , its silly. Ignore it and it would never become an issue. That is a bigger issue then the negative trolls. Trolls are useless if ignored. You cannot censor negativity.

 

Its like they only want ten users on here and cannot handle differing views.

 

Let the mods deal with the obvious trolls.

[ScientificReason]

I find it ironic that the worst poster on the forum is giving insight into his own demise.

 

Exactly what I am talking about.

Ah, thanks. But there are more moderators... o2cui2i is not on that list

[baloojayz]

So why the fack did we put in Redmond instead of Osuna? Game was very winnable still...

[King]

Admin, GSnarls, Hurl, Chappy and o2cui2i.

[strochez]

So why the fack did we put in Redmond instead of Osuna? Game was very winnable still...

Probably because Redmond needed to get some work-in and it appears Gibby wants to limit Osuna to 1-2 inning outings. Despite the fact that Redmond only pitched 2 innings Gibby was likely looking for 3-4 innings hence Redmond and Hendricks combined for 4

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Wtf is going on here? Read the last couple pages and laughed, it just one game get over it bitches! End the Shanchez hate omg it's his first start, relax ya'll and have a Rum! Lol

[RealAccountant]

Best lineup ever manages to get 1 hit. After the harassment I got for questioning why Pompey was in the 2 spot and not Martin.

How many hits did Martin have today?

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Wait it's only the first week of ball and the Bluejays message board is melting. Let's be honest about first week judgements on players and this team. For instance are we more disappointed that our rookie #5 starter lost or by the fact that Jose

Bautista has more strike outs then Shanchez too! Lol

[Daniel Labude]

What's funny is......Kershaw and Bumgarner (5 runs in less innings) today all were as bad or worse than our #5 starter

[King]

Kershaw 6.1IP 6ER 3BB 5K 3.64 xFIP

Bumgarner 3IP 10H 5ER 0BB 4K 1.77 xFIP (<--.714 BABIP)

Kluber 6.1IP 7H 2ER 1BB 10K 0.92 xFIP

 

Sanchez......... 3.1IP 7H 3ER 2BB 1K 5.48 xFIP

[Stangstag]

Kershaw 6.1IP 6ER 3BB 5K 3.64 xFIP

Bumgarner 3IP 10H 5ER 0BB 4K 1.77 xFIP (<--.714 BABIP)

Kluber 6.1IP 7H 2ER 1BB 10K 0.92 xFIP

 

Sanchez......... 3.1IP 7H 3ER 2BB 1K 5.48 xFIP

 

Still, the actual in-game results were similar.

[Stangstag]

Quoted for all of time. There's no coming back from this.

 

Umm ok?

[Daniel Labude]

Kershaw 6.1IP 6ER 3BB 5K 3.64 xFIP

Bumgarner 3IP 10H 5ER 0BB 4K 1.77 xFIP (<--.714 BABIP)

Kluber 6.1IP 7H 2ER 1BB 10K 0.92 xFIP

 

Sanchez......... 3.1IP 7H 3ER 2BB 1K 5.48 xFIP

 

Didn't mean to include Kluber....my point is still the same. Bad starts happen, if it's the norm something needs to change, but right now some people in here would be calling for Bumgarner to be DFA if he was on the Jays...people need to be patient (at this time)

[WryNGinger]

So Gibbons put Valencia in the outfield for the first time in his career as a precautionary move since Jose was cramping? That seems a little odd as "a precautionary measure". I know the game was out of hand for all intents and purposes but I hope Jose's prognosis is not worse than they are letting on.

Second straight game where that was done

[Horses Fart]

Anybody else feel that watching a Jays game is like watching a kid throwing rocks at a pop bottle? Just waiting for it to break.

Kershaw, MadBum, Klubaa will be fine, the talent is there. Aaron isnt ready to be starting games in that level.
