General Jays Discussion 2015

[Deadpool]

Now we get to see for ourselves if Nick Martinez is really as bad as advanced stats show - this is a guy with the Rangers record for most consecutive starts allowing 3 runs or less.

 

Well, he's already allowed 4...

#phillies GM Ruben Amaro deep in serious talks w #bluejays to acquire OF Jose Batista. Can also play 3rd. Phils would deal OF Dom Brown plus

[Brownie19]

People complain AA doesn't know how to put together a bench and finish off the team, but I have to say i really like Valencia, Carerra and Smoak. Thank god he would a way to keep Hendriks (where would the pen be without him) and I even think he deserves credit for CC....depth guy...injury cut his hot strak short last yr...

 

Nobody's perfect, but he's found some good bench/depth guys...even if nobody wants to give him credit

NYY, TBR, BAL, TOR all within 1 game of each other

Going to be (has been for most part) a fun season. We will see who wins the arms race.

Navarro catching and Martin DHing again lol.

 

Day game after night game

[Laika]

Poor Matt Boyd... Has to throw to Navarro in his debut.

[L54]

Navarro. Gross.

[BigCecil]

Navarro catching and Martin DHing again lol.

 

I get day game after night game and all that s*** but Martin had back to back days off last week and this is a rookie pitcher who could benefit from having a real f***ing C to throw to. Navarro costing us Smoak D and ABs.

 

Put in Taco Bell tomorrow (yes I know he is Venezuelan)

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Ugh. Why would they do that? Set him up for success instead...with Martin.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Oh right. Makes sense. It must be hard on catchers to play 2 games in 20 hours.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Wow, I checked the standing, we're in a playoff spot! With like 5 other teams. I hope the race is tight all the way to the end (with the Jays coming through to win the division of course). Makes for some exciting baseball. Love it.

Question on the Jays facebook page was if you have the rotation as it is today and the Jays make the Wildcard game who do you want starting that game. Look at these comments:

 

Marco is he is pitching as well as he is now

 

Marco. He's the best we currently have

 

I think it is a no-brainer that you start Buerlhe or Estrada. Picking between the two is where i have difficulty.

 

On one hand Buerhle has the experience. On the other hand Estrada has the fastball command. I think it would come down to who has the better momentum and right now it would be very difficult to pass on Estrada.

Why on earth would you look at the comments on the Jays' facebook page? Spare your hair.

occasionally I see one that isn't a complete idiot and I invite them here. Work never stops for this mod.

Since June 2, when the Jays were 23-30 (pre-game 2 of the double header):

 

Rays: 15-8

Yanks: 13-9

O's: 16-6

Jays: 17-6

Sox: 10-14

 

A 17-6 run = 2.5 GB gain in the standings.

[RealAccountant]

^ take the win streak out and they have been .500 since

[intentional wok]

Take the s***** May out and the winning pct is probably .650+

[jays4life19]

I think Justin Smoak f***ed Gibby's wife or something....Navarro at DH today.

AA desperately trying to flip Navvy by building some numbers up. The deadline is in a month after all.

Or you know...he could decrease his value because he sucks.

[intentional wok]

Very possible!

 

Really wish his grand slam would have stayed fair last weekend. Good because the Jays would have won obviously, but it'd also have given him +1 HR and +4 RBI that some GM would probably find interesting enough.

Now, that's real accounting.

Or maybe Gibbons thinks Navarro is better than he actually is.

Thing is, time to trade him would've been after last off season after a full season as a starting catcher and the team would've had plenty of time to find a backup C.

 

 

Right now, it's a matter of who would want him for 1/2 a season at 2.5M.

[RealAccountant]

The manager sets the lineup card. It is ultimately the managers responsibiltiy to put the lineup out there that he feels can win the game. The best lineup. If the General Manager is able to make the manager the play certain players, then that is a weakness in the manager, one that he ought to be held responsible for.

 

Regardless of whether Gibby wants to DH Navarro or whether he is being forced to do so, Gibby is responsible for Navarro being in the lineup.
