Has Mark Buehrle ever gone on the DL

 

Nope.

[GD]

Toronto Blue Jays: so cursed we're gonna get Buehrle put on the DL

never ever

No ground lost on the O's. Twins walk off on them with a Dozier HR. Still only 1 game back of them. So it's 2.5 (Yankees) and 2 (Twins). Gotta win the rest of the series against the weaker part of the rotation.. and Shark(depending on which version we get of him.)

Trade Buehrle to a contender if we fall out of it. He's too good for this s*** show.

We're still only 2-2.5 back. Give it a few more weeks.

[glory]

Man..where have you been the last several years. They're done. Sell sell sell

 

Yep. Three years in a row the team has had big winning streaks that were followed up by massive regression. Fool me once and twice, but not three f***ing times.

 

I don't want Alex touching this roster for the rest of the season. Let Duquette or whoever takes over fix this gong show.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Would Navarro for Joe Smith straight up work for both teams?

 

They need a catcher and we need a pen arm.

His home runs are up, strike outs are down, walks are up, and velocity will only start declining.

 

The Dickster is toast. It's just a matter of how long AA is willing to stick with him. DFA him when Syndergaard is pitching like an ace will be a bruise to the ego, I'm sure.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

^ Sometimes your the Windshield, Sometimes your the Bug! Make Dickey go Splat! It's the Win League, not the try!

 

Show him the Door and tell him, FYSMC !

Anyone listening to Kevin Barker on baseball central right now?

 

Oh my f***ing god...

Cliffs?

[jaysfan2014]

Blanton making a spot start Saturday vs. the Blue Jays, due to today's double-header. So the rotation for the weekend series is now Duffy/Blanton/Volquez. Not a great rotation.. and very feasible for the Jays to dominate. First, let's focus on beating the White Sox..

davidi said the same thing. are there people out there who think Reyes is a superstar??? Really

What was ridiculous was Barker went on a 10 minute rant where he didn't come up for air just yelling about Reyes and defending him. It was very hard to listen to.

[Governator]

I'm going to guess he said something like

 

"Yuu dont just gow anne replace yoar souperstar shortstop from a meesplay ok?"

[Mikeleelop]

here's an outside opinion on Reyes, from ESPN chat

 

Mikeleelop (toronto)

 

some media in Toronto suggest you can't make late inning defensive substitution for Reyes because he's a superstar. Defensively, he has made late inning errors that have led to two losses. Is Reyes still thought of as a superstar? His flat footed fielding style is awkward and his range is severely limited because of it. Why not sub the guy out for one of the top DSR IF in the league in Ryan Goins....

 

David Schoenfield (12:56 PM)

 

Hmm, good question. He's not a good defensive shortstop, especially as he's aged. Do the Jays know that? They probably do. So that suggests that either John Gibbons doesn't think it's worth it or that he's worried about Reyes' ego. I don't have the answer, but you shouldn't let "superstar" status get in the way of a sound baseball decision. (And, no, Reyes is no longer thought of as a superstar outside of his own home.)

[HERPDERP]

If I were Gibby I'd just remove Reyes in close games. If we're up by 3, leave him in there.

Yeah, color me not impressed. I thought Gibby had more of a f***-it attitude this year, guess not.

[LTR]

With Travis back there's almost no point to Goins if he's not going to be used as a defensive replacement for Reyes.

[Boxcar]

No command for Sanchez in his rehab start.

 

Shocking.

[TheHurl]

It was very hard to listen to.

 

Any conversation with Barker is tough to listen to.

[TheHurl]

So the Jays tried to sign Phillippe Aumont after his DFA with the Phils. He turned it down and joined the NCBL (essentially the Men's league in Ottawa). He just didn't want to play anymore. The National team convinced him to not give up and he's starting the 3rd game of the Pan Am games.

 

If he performs well in the Pan Am games I expect the Jays to give him a minor league deal.

[HERPDERP]

The guy is still walking too many people but still striking out guys. Hopefully he figures it out just like Axford did.

When Alomar botched a routine play in '04, he said he knew it was time to quit. If only Reyes had that much humility and did the same.

Just heard the Davidi stuff: "If you don't trust your SS to catch the ball in the 9th inning, you don't trust him to catch it in the 1st inning".

 

Yeesh.

[Mikeleelop]

When Alomar botched a routine play in '04, he said he knew it was time to quit. If only Reyes had the same humility and realized the same.

 

that is a secondary objective of replacing him defensively, maybe he will retire early
