Wow ! When and who may I ask?

 

Was that the first or how many times has that been done before?

 

Do you think are 3 might make a run at it?

sorry i was wrong it was pujols with 40 some edmonds with 40 some and rolen with 32. The 2000 jays had 2 40 homerun hitters and 2 30 homerun hitters.

[baseballsss]

Found one so far the 1997 rockies led by walker had 3 40 homerun hitters and one 30

Martin needs to be catching Dickey from here on out with Tulo injured.

 

Goins,Pennington, pillar and thole aren't going to get it done.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Better question with Tulo injured and hopefully back for the playoffs, but what if he's not!

 

Can we afford to mess Martin up especially his bat, do you leave Navarro of the roster and carry thole just to catch dickey?

[Orgfiller]

Yeah Miller is reallllly good and all it takes is one lucky homer and they win.

 

Way too many l's. Shelby Miller is pretty decent, 3.94 xFIP with non-outstanding peripherals. Perhaps worthy to note is that he's allowed a .272 BABIP in 552 innings of MLB experience, and while it is still too early to judge, he's absolutely beat his DIPS metrics by a wide margin in every year. Something to look out for and see if he sustains it going forward (unlikely).

Pretty sure it's US only.

[burlingtonbandit]

if you live close to a border city you can get it shipped to a holding location for 5 bucks. But when you factor in the dollar and the time for all that you may as well just buy it off the Canadian site.

I am waiting for him to put it all together, we all know about his former prospect status and when you watch him his stuff seems very good a la Sanchez (not saying Sanchez is anywhere near as good). I checked, he's using his cutter way more and his GB rate has increased... he could continue to improve. Although yes he's not pitching like a 2.xx ERA pitcher.

According to pitchFX, he's using the 4-seam, 2-seam, and cut fastballs in almost equal proportion (32%, 35%, and 20%). Compare to 62% 4-seamers last year.

[HERPDERP]

He's the VP of ticket sales or w/e

[Ehjays]

 

Is that for the Jays??

 

If so, Thats 250,000 more seats sold right off the hop.

[Trouba95]

So Jayfan2014 said there was no chance we'd see Tanaka in the last series vs the Yanks. Not sure he is right. Tanaka can pitch Fri and then in TO.

As it stands right now, Tanaka pitches Sunday vs. the Mets on extra rest. Don't forget, he still has an elbow that could blow any minute.. he needs the extra rest. Pineda and Nova are scheduled to pitch Friday and Saturday.

 

Don't forget, Girardi needs to aim Tanaka for the wild card game, which likely means he misses the Jays series.

And why would Girardi aim for the WC game when he's only 3 games out? Last I checked Tanaka pitched Sunday against us on "short rest." Now I'm not saying with certainty that Tanaka will pitch against us but I sure as hell wouldn't be surprised if he did. Guys get moved around their regularly scheduled rotation slots all the time. (Chen, Buehrle) Why are you so sure Tanaka won't get shuffled around to face us especially considering how dominant he's been?

Tanaka pitched on regular rest against us and if Girardi was smart and he is i would bet my ass we see him next week.

[burlingtonbandit]

What's this hub bub all about? Who's this guy even?

 

VP of Business Operations. He's in charge of the entire business side of the Jays and reports to Beeston. Wonder if he will still be there once Shapiro comes in.

It could happen. They're watching Pineda's innings a bit too, so they could push him back until Saturday then we would see Warren/Severino/Tanaka instead of Warren/Severino/Pineda.

Aren't we forgetting Sabathia? I was thinking it'd be Sabathia/Warren or Severino/Pineda.

[jaysfan2014]

Braves lineup--outside of Markakis and Freeman, basically a near AAA lineup:

 

[BigCecil]

I cant stand the thought of Price hitting and/or running the bases tomorrow night.

 

NL - just such an unnecessary risk.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Markakis actually had some good power in his younger days.

 

2 HR. Wow.

[glory]

Yeah I would bet that Tanaka goes Friday against the Mets so he can pitch Wednesday against the Jays.

[HERPDERP]

Nothing better than having a 105 wRC hitter in the clean-up spot.

[Angrioter]

 

Just awful

[burlingtonbandit]

 

Just awful

 

lol did you see the Bravis lineup?

 

2-5 is pretty good and that is as good a defensive lineup as you will find this season playing in a big ballpark. I'm fine with it.
