General Jays Discussion 2015

[art_vandelay275]

Important thing is that you got it up and running for potentially the biggest game in recent history tomorrow. it'd would have been spooky to be watching tomorrow's game with the forum being down... wouldn't know if someone somewhere is trying to tell us something

 

Admin is in the middle of a move, I'm guessing this was a factor. Considering he is or was without a computer, he did a great job of responding quickly to my letting him know (I didn't know until around 7:00)

lol

[THANOS]

Congrats to the team today, and thank you Cubs!

 

Royals can #FYSMC.

 

I'm new here, but not a casual, I assure you lol. I was thinking about 2016, namely the rotation, and was talking with my brother about potential trades AA could make in the off-season to rectify it.

 

My main target would be Carlos Carrasco. His peripherals are fantastic and his contract provides excellent WAR value, as you all know I'm sure.

 

Near the trade deadline, rumors seemed to indicate that a Hoffman, Norris, Pompey package nearly got it done, but ultimately was rejected because they wanted Stro, possibly in place of Hoff? Well, given that they were our 3 best prospects at the time, but, debatably, not major league ready yet, at that point, what could Alex offer to maybe get it done? Would it take a similar package to what landed JD?

 

I would offer Revere, Sanchez, Hutch, and Greene. Do you guys think that would do it, or would selling high on Pillar (in place of Revere, with his 4 WAR) and adding Cola help get it done? If they laugh this off, what do you gents think it would take?

[Candy Maldonado]

Was following along on Orioles Hangout. Pillar was safe!!!!!!!

 

[intentional wok]

^ Must have been weird hanging out in a GDT thread with really, really ugly people who post naked.

By that angle I'm almost sure he's out. I'm pretty sure Weiters gets his thigh when he's still in the air.

[labadee]

HEY A.L. EAST

 

[Trouba95]

Was that ever a long 24-36 hrs off the board...

What happened?

[NJay]

Am I right in that the magic number is 2?

 

Also, what is the difference between the 1 and 2 seed as to who we play or could play in the ALDS? I know the ramifications for the ALCS. Thanks.

#1 seed gets us home field advantage through the World Series, and a date with either the Yankees or 2nd wild card team(Texas, Houston, LA or Minnesota). #2 seeds gets the AL West winner and home field for the ALDS.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. My confusion was that I thought the rule was a division winner and wildcard could not play in the divisional round if from the same division and therefore we could not play the yanks assuming they win the play-in. I must have created that rule in my mind. Thanks again for the info.

[Atothe]

#1 seed does not get the team homefield in the world series. The A.L winning the all star game did. #1 seed is for the ALCS.

[jaysfan2014]

This is it. One Jays win and a Yankees loss wins us a trip to the ALDS. Have fun in the wild card game, Yankees fans. Now we need help from the White Sox..

I knew that. I was looking at the Jays in general.

[TilsonBritoFan]

There were several write-up of him in the LA Times while he was with the Dodgers. The rep on him was that he would go out drinking and clubbing after the game and that wore on his game the following day. Back in those days, it seemed he was quite the wild child...

 

A buddy of mine saw him out boozing at 2:30 am the night before his massive HR vs the Yankees. Didn't affect him I guess.

[BigCecil]

Weirdest game ever without the board but a really f***ing good night for the Blue Jays.

 

Yup. Got a glimpse into what life would be like in the zombie apocalypse when there is no TBJMB and it wasn't pretty.

 

Great game(s) though. A Jays come from behind win off O'Day - Yanks and KC lose.

[EMK19]

One thing that annoys me a bit with the situation tonight is that if we win and Yankees lose again, then the decisive moment may come down to which of the two teams wins/loses first on the night. It could possibly mean that we might win first and Yankees might lose a bit later in the night, which would rob us of any kind of on-field celebration for the second straight time (we already didn't get one for the playoff clinch due to all the confusion over permutations, although the celebration wouldn't really have been big). If it does happen tonight then I wish that Yankees game finishes first. I know caring about this is a bit silly but I actually want to see our boys celebrate out on the field this time! (doing it in Baltimore makes it sweeter too).

[NJay]

I'm not sure how I feel about playing the Yankees in the divisional round. Plus I think the Yankees beat Kansas City if they play in the divisional round. I guess it all depends upon pitching matchups with the AL West in a five game series as to whether there is a huge advantage over a one or two seed. But I also would much rather play Kansas City at home in game one.

I doubt it, since Martin stays away from alcohol these days. He didn't even stay for the celebration in the clubhouse due to alcohol issues.

Couldn't find any stories on him regarding recovery. This story on why he left the celebration says little.

I'm pretty sure this used to be the case. It went away with the introduction of the Wild Card play-in game, though.

link? There is a big difference between being a recovering alcoholic and a guy who just doesn't party anymore. Most famous people aren't able to recover under the radar anymore.

The Yankees are better than the Royals, Rangers, and Astros, so yeah that would be a nervous first round opponent. But hey, the goal is to finish with the best record. The Cardinals can't sweat the Pirates or Cubs. The Jays have to finish strong and then let the chips fall where they fall.

The Jays can always tie their shoe laces before each plate appearance?

[Inklink]

Is everyone OK? You all survived??? I only tried accessing the board 30 times yesterday. I think I found GSNARLS on twitter but didn't want to question him on the status of the board.

I had some withdrawl.

Still think the Astros are better than the Yankees. Hope they take them out in the WC game.

No way. No thank you to Tanaka twice in a series

I meant I hope the Astros beat the Yanks...
