GDT(1/3): Your Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays - Dickey vs. Smyly - 7:10 PM ET

[burlingtonbandit]

I like Valencias bat in there. Especially vs Lefty's

 

I meant for today because Valencia is at 1B and Tollesson is at LF. But once Saunders comes back I would go DFA Tollesson anyways. Theres already a ton of players that mash LHP and he isn't nearly as good defensively as Goins. Reyes can't swing LH so you could rest him vs a RHP and put Goins in the lineup.

[HERPDERP]

The fact that the Rays are still around despite not having a quality rotation for the month of April just makes me worried about the rest of the way.

 

Kiermier or however the f*** you spell it and Souza are studs and can provide enough offense.

Optioning Goins and keeping control of Tolleson is way better.

why? How many PA is Tollesson really going to see? And when he does play vs LHP which position will he play? I'd much rather have Goins and his defense.

hope we can get a quality start from Dickey.

 

Glad I can listen to the rays commentators so I dont have to hear buck tell me again just how amazing Dickey is against the rays.

Where's Smoak? Dude deserves to be in there every day right now

Donaldson is dhing because they want Valencia's bat in the lineup

Wouldn't Valencia be at 1B, EE DH, Donaldson 3B?

1-Reyes

2-Travis

3- Donaldson

4-Edwin

5-Valencia

6-Pillar

7-Tolleson

8-Pompey

gotta keep you stud healthy for a full season.

against a LHP it's not that bad. And it is better than 40% of the Rays lineups.

Meanwhile their pitchers are better than 100% of our pitching staff.

Hutch is pretty good and Norris will get it together

[o2cui2i]

Are Smoak's splits against LHP that bad? He's a monster at first and I think i'd rather have Valencia in LF instead of Tollesan.

[Dylan]

fugly lineup. Glad i'm missing this one.

 

Hope to come back and see a W tonight

[o2cui2i]

Ya it would make more sense but Gibby doesn't like Smoak cause AVG.

 

Tolly is literally filler.... getting him AB just to get him AB is lame.

Stroman still aiming to come back in September.

 

If he is 100% that would be great.

Hey man, did you see hi-lites of Keirmaier? The rubber was everywhere in slo-mo, you'll see during this series.

[Spanky99]

If he is 100% that would be great.

 

I double post, by accident, kill one.

[Spanky99]

Woah...LTBF was banned? lol...dreams do come true.

[Atothe]

Lets go!

[jays4life19]

Let's go Jays. I think we're going to put up some runs tonight.

Donaldson is DHing so maybe thats part of it.

It's only for a day. He's been trolling for 2 years.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Like mentioned, if he's 100% it would be great if he could give us a few starts and even better if we make it to the playoffs. Problem is will he be able to heal in that time and more importantly have the arm strength and be prepared to pitch ie rehab assignments, or simulated games. If not 100% or they think it's too much of a rush just let him come back fresh next year.

[closetjaysfan]

Why Rookies? he is ~3rd in just about every significant offensive statistic overall in the AL.

[o2cui2i]

be nice....

[closetjaysfan]

hopefully endurance is going to be an issue for Smyly
