GDT: Blue Birds @ Orange Birds

[Deadpool]

I would like to re-float my idea that bunting should result in a dead ball and automatic out for the batter.

[Inklink]

Its astounding to me that Pete Walker still has a job in Toronto.

 

And BoSox fired their pitching coach already.

[closetjaysfan]

At least Travis is getting out of the way now.

[ElNik2013]

$5M for a backup catcher instead?

 

Come on, we all know they should trade Navarro.

[Deadpool]

Yep, trade Navarro, use that money to keep Lind, who would probably be the best hitter on this team right now (from the left side, which is the much weaker side for us.)

[BigCecil]

"You know the Orioles they are all about winning"...Buck

 

Inane banter

[jays4life19]

So much dumb ITT

[Zaun of the Dead]

I am missing the connection here

[RealAccountant]

And BoSox fired their pitching coach already.

 

I understand that he cant control guys like Dickey, but the way the rest of the pitching staff has pitched has been deplorable. I remember three weeks ago, he went on the radio and announced that he had a plan for Sanchez and that Sanchez had figured it out. He actually said that. It was either on pregame or Baseball central. Not to mention what happened with Romero failure, Morrow Failure on and on and on.

[Gorlak]

8 million for a platoon player? no thanks.

 

He's already almost been worth that much.

[Deadpool]

Save money by ditching Navarro, keep Lind, instead of the other way around. I'm sure we could have gotten someone as good as Estrada for Navarro.

[S33n]

Yep, trade Navarro, use that money to keep Lind, who would probably be the best hitter on this team right now (from the left side, which is the much weaker side for us.)

 

Devils advocate here. Where would Lind fit on the current roster? I don't see Jose back in RF anytime soon, last I heard he said something like: "it's physically impossible for me to throw a baseball right now".

Lind would be receiving the Justin Smoak treatment with about 40~ AB.

[ElNik2013]

Happ/Saunders is a fair trade and I still think the Jays win it in the long run, But Lind/Estrada never made sense. Why would you bring the most homer prone pitcher in baseball to such a homer friendly ballpark, especially when his decline came with a drop in velocity.

 

Maybe that's the best they were offered?

[Mikeleelop]

Wtf is up with Travis

 

Um, he's a rookie

 

He will have ups and plenty of downs

[closetjaysfan]

Nice play travis!

[Deadpool]

He'd have Smoak's position. So, not helping a tonne right now, but Bautista's stupid angerbear throw has really f***ed this team a lot.

[Gorlak]

do you want to review the starting rotation again, might be the worst in the majors.

 

Estrada is not helping.

[BigCecil]

Great play Travis. He has played some nice D for a guy who didn't have a glove.

[closetjaysfan]

That was a hit three years ago.

[CJ-Freeway]

LMAO did buck just call Devon "travis Snider"??? Bwhahahha

[BTS]

Maybe that's the best they were offered?

 

Well they could have just kept him.

[Mikeleelop]

8 million for a platoon player? no thanks.

 

With no defensive ability

[Zaun of the Dead]

Yeah that basically is what I was saying at the beginning. I think Lind should have brought back a better return than Shitstrada. But I would still rather have Navarro than estrada lol

[Zaun of the Dead]

LMAO did buck just call Devon "travis Snider"??? Bwhahahha

 

he does this kind of s*** literally every 2 mins. where u been bud

[S33n]

Yep, trade Navarro, use that money to keep Lind, who would probably be the best hitter on this team right now (from the left side, which is the much weaker side for us.)

 

Just to be clear, I'd still rather have Lind on the roster than Smoak/Navarro, just wanted to point out that he'd have nowhere near the AB's or value he's had in Milwaukee on this club.

[Gorlak]

Come on, we all know they should trade Navarro.

 

AA definitely overplayed has cards when it came to Navarro, may not even be movable at the moment.

[Deadpool]

With no defensive ability

 

Lind > Encarnacion at 1st... Not a LOT better, but still better.

[ElNik2013]

Yep, trade Navarro, use that money to keep Lind, who would probably be the best hitter on this team right now (from the left side, which is the much weaker side for us.)

 

How about take the savings from trading Happ, Lind and Navarro and sign a good pitcher?

 

On the other hand, I don't know that they didn't try to sign a good pitcher.

[BigCecil]

Lind would be playing LF right now.

 

Seen that movie before. Scary thought.

[Gorlak]

Lind would be receiving the Justin Smoak treatment with about 40~ AB.

 

Or Bautista would be on the DL like he probably should be.
