General Jays Discussion 2015

[Brownie19]

And Tulo's at SS

 

Curious why they'd put E5 at 1st and DH Cola.

[BigCecil]

Agreed. What a slaughter house that would be with him in that lineup. Luckily Goins has really stepped up his game and has more more than adequate.

 

Agreed. "T n T" at SS and 2B 2016 with a great option to back up in Goins. Couldn't be more impressed with the way Goins has stepped up.

 

The only thing we are missing is a more credible heavy LHH. No disrespect to Smoak who has done ok. But they are going to throw RH SP at us steady in playoffs.

[o2cui2i]

it will be nice to see the A team back out for tonight's game

 

1. Ben Revere (L) LF

2. Josh Donaldson ® 3B

3. Jose Bautista ® RF

4. Edwin Encarnacion ® 1B

5. Chris Colabello ® DH

6. Russell Martin ® C

7. Troy Tulowitzki ® SS

8. Kevin Pillar ® CF

9. Ryan Goins (L) 2B

[Krylian]

FA - Chris Davis: 1B- Toronto Blue Jays 2016.

 

Just dreaming.

Man, that lineup screams gorilla warfare. They must be going for the jugular today and tomorrow, while hoping KC loses at least 1 game, so they can throw Buerhle back out for Sunday, probably combined with a few innings from Hutch again. It could be ugly lol.

This is my all time favorite spelling error.

That line up looks viscous.

 

I agree. It has a certain amount of fluidity while not being too liquid.

[harvey16]

With Edwin hitting his 38 HR tonight having a legit s*** at getting to 40. I ask the question has a team every had 3 40 HR hitters in one season?

Three teams...

 

1973 Braves

1996 Rockies

1997 Rockies

[Lil Looper]

rockies shouldnt count because of the early humidity/altitude problem. Its really the braves and then none

[Jonn]

Didn't think it was possible in the modern era. Should sign Davis so we can have 4 go for it next year!

"Legit s***" that made me lol, thanks

[Brownie19]

Just got offered a ticket to either next Thursday's or Friday's game.

 

Prego wife has to go to Mt. Sinai Friday morning and has to leave early to get there.

 

Do I:

 

A) go Thursday, stay over night and go to appointment with her...in which case we'd have to get mother in law to sleep over Thursday and take kids to school in the AM...and I'd miss 1.5 days of work (need to work weekend to make it up)

 

go Friday so I can take kids to school Friday AM (avoiding the MIL) and only miss 0.5 days of work.

 

Option A is a lot more effort although wife may appreciate me coming to the appointmeant...is it worth it to see the first playoff game in 22 years? Or is Game 2 going to be just as good with the Stroshow on the bump???

C) Give me your ticket

[Jimcanuck]

Huh?

 

Joking, really. I work in government and get offered tix to games all the time. And turkeys this time of year too.

ah - I get it...nah just a good friend.

[Cookie]

Does she want you to go with her and is it a big appointment? If they are just going to measure her for the 5th time...meh. I would rather have my spouse home on the weekend to deal with the outside children and not be having to make up time than have him at my appointment. Go to the game but put in a solid effort for the rest of the weekend.

[thatoneguy]

Regarding things Pillar has done lately, this home run off of Severino in the Yankee series was 23rd in terms of exit velocity (115.8 mph) in MLB this year via Hit-tracker.

"I had Mexican last night. I have legit s***."

[EMK19]

I'm wondering more about whether there's been top 3 RBI man in the league in the same team before... it's not too likely but we are close right now with JD and Bats at 1st and 2nd right now and Edwin is 4th behind Chris Davis.

[TheHurl]

1997 Rockies big three had 21, 19, and 29 HR's on the road. Current Jays big three have 20, 17 and 17.

[TheHurl]

I miss Larry Walker. It's a shame he doesn't get more HOF support.

 

I love Walker but I understand the lack of support. He's a borderline on every vote for me if I had one (which I really should). One other thing on that 96 and 97 Rockies, Walker wasn't one of the 40 HR guys in 96 it was Burks with Gallaraga and VinnyCast

[BigCecil]

Yeahhhh, kinda hard to choose between Spiderman's grab vs Superman's snag. Both were impressive.

 

I think his best catch might have been the one on Sano. Those are definitely the top 3 though.

 

Yup. All 3 below. Rajai Davis made a wall climbing take away catch like Pillar's. They look/are impressive, but only guys like Kevin Kiermaier and Pillar could make these other 2 plays imo.

I was at the game and it was quite impressive. great game all around.

I'll see your "road home runs", and raise you "steroid era".
