It's amazing how much better he looks with a hat on.

[baubau]

The team calls Goins "Go-Go"? LOL. Even they are telling him to get outta the league.

[RealAccountant]

Just saw Harper's knee. That looks bad. Bad Bad news for the Nationals,

[o2cui2i]

Another solid team win

 

the pillar take out at second was huge

We all like to rag on Goins but man he has really stepped up with Travis out. Jays don't need his bat but he sure helps to gobble up every routine play that's within a 30' range of him. I'd prefer him in over Tolleson or Kawasaki as a replacement any day.

[RealAccountant]

lol @ Pablo hiding in the washroom during the game, liking women's photos on instagram. LMAO. Such little brain

 

Good to see Redsox wasting money.

[jaysfan2014]

Good chance to put some distance on the O's this weekend. Projected starters for the O's:

 

Friday: Wright/Estrada (Wright has been awful this month.)

Saturday: Gausman/Buehrle (Gausman hasn't been great out of the pen.. who knows what the O's will get out of him.)

Sunday Tillman/Copeland.. expect a high scoring game in that one. Tillman's been lousy this season.

He probably rubbed one quick while he was at it and got paid about $10K during that time.

the play he made behind second yesterday was one of the better plays I have ever seen. didn't think he was going to get to it and when he did, there was no way he was going to get the out, but he did. absolutely brilliant.

Yea, I mean I'm not saying "he can stick" as an MLB starter, but when our line up is firing on all cylinders there's really no reason why he shouldn't be on the field to help our pitchers.

[Governator]

That Blackhawks celebration was about as painful to listen to as it gets.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Good win boys. We outscored Mets 20-8 over the past 4 games too bad we couldn't get one at Citi Field.

Wake me up before you.... Or we got the beat! Lol

[LTR]

Good game.

 

f***ing umps can never recognize knuckleball strikes - I don't blame Dickey for getting frustrated. The ball could be right down the middle and if Martin doesn't catch it cleanly it's a ball.

Should have won at least one of those, they jays players are allergic to close ballgames or something.

2-2 after facing Syndergaard, Harvey, Niese and Colon is pretty decent.

Agreed, but the way we lost that extra inning game was sickening.....

[BigCecil]

Ya, it was tough but its in the past.

 

13-2 in last 15 is the only way to look at it and now right in the thick of the AL East. For the most part really entertaining ball.

 

Offense is fine but everyone knows we need a couple more dependable arms.

[jays4life19]

You're welcome guys.

[L54]

It was a tough one to swallow, I agree.

[BigCecil]

13-2 and we gained 2 games in the div standings... f***in' Yanks... slowing creeping up on that second WC though...

 

I think we play 26 of our last 29 against the AL East(3 against ATL) so if we can hang in there it will all come down to that.

[jays4life19]

I'll see if i can pull together another GDT tomorrow. It takes up a bunch of time putting together such an informative GDT but I'll try and get er done.

[jays4life19]

Jays4life19 wanted 10 thanks for this.

 

Pony it up guys.

 

Wanted 10. Got 11.

 

Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone.

 

12.

Goins makes every single play... routine plays, hard plays, difficult plays. What a treat to watch.

 

Reyes usually makes routine plays, I haven't seen him make a hard or difficult play all year.

I'm going to see them play NY in sept. hoping the jays are in a race or better way out in front being chased.

Reyes doesn't seem to have the range, and when he tries to make a throw after he dove for one, it looks painful to watch.

They were amicable conversations,” Dickey said after working 7 1/3 innings in Toronto’s 7-1 win. “But at the same time, I needed to get a point across and make sure that he understood that (the knuckleball) was moving a lot tonight, and Russ was doing a great job back there. He even admittedly didn’t call one of those strikes a strike three because Russ didn’t catch it. So we had a good conversation about that.”

 

That 3-2 pitch on Ruben Tejada in the second occupied much of the first discussion between Dickey and Wegner. Dickey said some umpires, as a matter of “baseball etiquette, will not call a strike on a pitch the catcher misses because they believe it makes them look bad. Others ignore that tradition.

Wow! That ump should be suspended and it proves once again they are the worst officials in professional sports.

[HERPDERP]

I didnt' watch the game, how did the Dickster look? Lots of walks but were they blown calls?

There were about a handful of calls, once really egregious call which would have ended the inning. The bases loaded with all walks should have never happened. Dickey had some struggles the first two innings but looked really sharp after the 3rd.
