General Jays Discussion 2015

[Krylian]

with the quality of his at bats and with Tulo and D Travis back in the lineup next year, he bats 9th guaranteed

 

heck, he bats 9th behind Goins this year when Tulo comes back (fingers crossed)

 

I still like Tulo leading off and Revere batting 9th (who's then essentially you're leadoff guy after the first time around). Pillar 8th in that mix is good.

Gonna be pretty hard to not give Cecil multiple inning appearances in the playoffs when he hasn't really had a TON of work this year to date.

 

In his last 27 innings... 36K/4BB, 0ER

 

Complete stud.

Pretty sure he gave up an ER on Sunday. But still the man is a beast with glasses.

[Sammy225]

Check that apparently it was not earned even though it was him that made the error lol

[burlingtonbandit]

AA is on PTS live right now. Seems really amped up. Bet you he got signed to a deal to stay here that just hasn't been announced yet.

[L54]

McCown DESPERATELY trying to get AA to say he regrets trading Syndergaard.

[L54]

Connor Greene name drop by AA

[L54]

Lol McCown "do you think he has a chance to compete for a rotation spot?". Grab a f***ing brain man.

lol AA wasn't going to say that with Dickey still on the Jays. Maybe if he said Yan Gomes he would of admitted it.

McCown and Arash were drilling him pretty hard, asking questions like:

 

-What is the one trade you regret?

-Which player do you most regret trading?

-Which player has been better than you expected when you traded?

 

Then McCown blurts out "SYNDERGAAAARD", like a twelve year old who couldn't keep a secret. Of course AA blew it off, saying they knew he'd be good- "we took him in the sandwich round, hard thrower" etc.

 

tldr; McCown wears his sunglasses at night.

I thought the jays got Barney for his gold glove defense, why isnt he playing???

Barney is not eligible for the playoff roster whereas Kawasaki is. Since Tulowitzki probably won't be playing in the first round, the Blue Jays probably want to get Kawasaki into a game that is meaningful. Pennington might be tired also, since he wasn't playing very much in Arizona prior to coming to the Blue Jays.

Why waste him with an Extreme flyball pitcher pitching. Severino has been dominant vs RHB and not good vs LHB so far so looks like a no brainer to have Kawa in. With a PH for late innings you can put Barney in for defense later which could have a bigger influence on the game.

Madani is horrid. Makes every single sentence he says have some stupid narrative attached to it.

PTS is replaying the AA interview father the 615 commercial break

[reedjohnsonfan]

Samardzija threw a 1 hit, no walk shutout last night. Honestly he is the perfect buy low if there is such a thing. His pitch selection has been the problem this year, guy still has the velocity and the stuff is very much still there, and he is built to pitch 200+ innings into his 30s.

[nextyear]

Any Blue Jays fan must be stoked for the 3rd game tonight against the Yankees. Stroman will be fired up for sure.

 

I like this picture of Stroman greeting Price coming into the dugout.

 

 

I am not really a Lion King fan but this picture is fitting: Mufasa and Simba

[The Cats Ass]

Price and Stroman would make such a nice 1-2 punch for the next 5 years.

[CHRIS]

As disappointing as last night's loss was, how great is meaningful September baseball?

 

I think last night's 9th inning sums it up well; a bit of despair at the thought of trying to score a run off Miller, elation of Navarro's homerun, hope and nervousness with the bases loaded, anguish with Donaldson's strikeout.

 

So great to be part of these kinds of games.

Admitting you let a good prospect get away doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad trade.

[RealAccountant]

Goddamn Brunt is good

[Governator]

8 of the last 9 outs from Cecil have come from strikeouts and 6 in a row.

[G-Snarls]

Total beast mode

Total beast mode

 

There's no I in TEAM but Cecil just needs a catcher.

[puphood]

What I took away from last nights game is Bautista's arm is back and its a laser. Been waiting for that all year. Bull pen will be fine. Need Tulo back in Oct. Three solo

HR's but left bases loaded?......need tonight in the win column with Stroman

[RealAccountant]

Tonight if we win. That is the end of the Yankees

[HERPDERP]

Tonight if we win. That is the end of the Yankees

 

Not really. If we lose this game but the Yankees lose the series to the Bosox, then that is the end

[G-Snarls]

This is as big as a game gets

 

Bring it on!

[Mac Outlaw]

Anybody else think it's important the Jays try and get their rotation lined up for how it will look in the ALDS?

 

I'd line them up Price-Dickey-Stroman-Estrada.

 

I think you want RA in the Rogers Centre, not on the road Game 3. Stroman is like a second ace, he can start Game 3 on the road.

 

If the rotation gets juggled in the next couple of days, we'll know what they're thinking coming post-season. It wouldn't be that hard to juggle either. Keep everyone on their normal rest and give Dickey and Estrada a few extra days off then put RA in after Price and Estrada after Stroman.

We have now tied the win mark of that 2nd place Blue Jays team of 2006 at 87 wins with 10 more games to go. One more to tie the win mark of the 98 team which is to date our best year since the WS years with 88 wins.
