GDT: Blue Birds @ Orange Birds

god f***ing dammit I hate the Happ trade more and more every day. Our pitching is god f***ing awful.

[saskjayfan]

there were lots of people who could hardly wait for Estrada to start...he's garbage

[MatBarnes]

Estrada wasn't traded for Happ

 

That's not the point

[ColdPint]

Anyone who expected better from Estrada as a SP is delusional, AA included. He's doing what all numbers and trends suggested he would do.

 

Norris had better figure s*** out in AAA, and do so quickly.

This board was doing a group circle jerk following that trade.

[MatBarnes]

This is like the worst start to a game ever

[Inklink]

Don't like EE just turning toward the dugout half way to 2nd.

[S33n]

This is like the worst start to a game ever

 

What about yesterday's game?

[saskjayfan]

is Santana even pitching off a mound yet

[Atothe]

That's not the point

 

You thought Happ would do better then Estrada before this season?

[guylaroche5]

if anyone is honestly thinking that happ would have put up the same numbers in toronto is out of their damn mind

[Orgfiller]

Chris Davis is two years younger than Colabello. Just STFU Buck.

I still do that trade. The injury sucks, but it was a fluke. 2 years of Saunders is worth 1 year of Happ.

[MatBarnes]

Yes.

[Orgfiller]

Oh great, all of our outs came on hard hit balls.

[Deadpool]

Babe Colabello.

 

Are you implying that he's drunk and just f***ed a couple of hookers before the game?

[saskjayfan]

Estrada wasn't traded for Happ

 

you're right..he was traded for lind who has a .987 OPS this year. That's even worse

[S33n]

You're right. Hindsight is 20/20, the despair is also compounded further by the rest of the problems we've had with the pitching staff.

[o2cui2i]

Is Baltimore normal again now? I haven't paid attention in awhile.

 

better but not out of the woods. anything short of death sentence the police( which aint gonna happen) and it will explode again.

[Dylan]

went to check Lind's AB, lol teasing us.

Pillar is getting exposed playing everyday.

 

What? That was smoked

[o2cui2i]

(you put it out there) with that face you'd think he has to pay for sex...

[RealAccountant]

Pretty hard not to face the fact that this pitching staff is a disaster

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Happ-Saunders and Lind-Estrada are both looking like awful trades.

[Zaun of the Dead]

I understand trading Lind because he's too expensive for a platoon player but I don't think it should have been for estrada. did he used to be good? I expected virtually nothing from him after hearing he was coming to toronto.

 

if I wanted to be 'that guy' I would argue that Happ was the Jays best pitcher over the last few years. But I won't.

[RealAccountant]

Donaldson and Travis are more than enough to make up for a successful offseason

 

unfortunately AA will never live down the 2012 offseason.

[Deadpool]

Happ-Saunders and Lind-Estrada are both looking like awful trades.

 

One is too early to make any sort of call on (and I'd still make that trade, frankly), the other was an awful trade the second it was completed.

[o2cui2i]

He probably is and he probably did. Whatever works this guy is hitting a lot.

 

give it a couple weeks before we look at his numbers. he crushed for 4 weeks last year and then disappeared.

Yeah AA really should have anticipated him tripping over a sprinkler.

Lind would not have helped this team. offsense is not the problem here.
