GDT: June 29 - Boston Red Sox (34-43) @ Toronto Blue Jays (41-36) 7:07 EST

[jays4life19]

It was a lot more fun when it was a complete toss up on who made the GDT and how it would look

 

so kinda like right now?

[gruber92]

This is what the jays lineup should look like tommorow

 

Reyes SS

Travis 2b

Donaldson 3b

Bautista rf

Edwin dh

Valencia lf

Martin/Navarro C

Smoak 1b

Pillar CF

 

Lets see how stupid Gibby can make it.

 

Travis seems to hit well batting ninth, i think it's too early to bat him second. This is what i would like to see after the ASB..

 

Versus RHP

 

Reyes (Pompey should eventually bat lead off, probably 2016. Has a much a better approach than Reyes, just needs playing time)

Donaldson

Bautista

EE

Smoak

Travis

Martin

Pillar

Pompey

[King]

This is what the options should look like tomorrow for the GDT

- G Snarles

- Orgfiller

- Adam Linds mom

 

Whats your beef against me bitch?

[jays4life19]

I love your GDT's. Saving you for the playoff run man.

Somewhat...but don't choose someone just sit back and wait to see who gets the thread started first

is Pompey doing any better in the minors now? last I read(was a couple weeks ago) he was still struggling?

[baloojayz]

Isn't this the first time AA sounds (overly ambitious by AA standards) adequately ambitious in his plans to acquire roster help (BP and rotation)?

 

He usually is being mysterious and spins every question into "we want to do anything to get better as a team" / not the player we were looking for etc etc

That's what I thought.

No. GDT's are key for our chances to win we can't just wing it like putting Ryan Goins in LF. It has to be thought out.

He is destroying AA again....needs to be called back to AAA to see if he has his head on straight

[jays4life19]

That's what I thought.

 

Start stretching those fingers out. We'll need you in September.

[gruber92]

Yep, and keep his parents in Toronto.

most of us are still at the "words are cheap" stage with AA. It's either time to put up or shut the f*** up and get fired

[o2cui2i]

hope he comes back soon. We need to have someone who can actually play left field.

[baloojayz]

Yep, and keep his parents in Toronto.

 

Pompey just got nervous and started doubting himself, I think he will be real good next yr. Travis/Osuna for example look like they have atleast 2-3 yrs MLB experience under their belt.

[gruber92]

He's hitting well in AA. If he stays in AA and is still raking until the ASB, he should just be promoted back to Toronto and skip AAA. There could be something psychologically negative about Buffalo (coaching or just atmosphere in general). He didn't deserve to be sent down after 22 games in the bigs.. Ridiculous.

100% agree.

I'd be happy if he just acquired rotation help. Think our BP is fine.

real help, not a band-aid on the titanic move

Don't even know if Reyes should hit leadoff, his .obp is below .300.

[baloojayz]

Yeah like #1-2 pitcher with control kind of help

[baloojayz]

Don't even know if Reyes should hit leadoff, his .obp is below .300.

 

Isn't Reyes a really good bottom of the order guy? Should produce a lot of runs with that speed get his running game up as opposed to the top of the order where you don't want to run into outs b/c of the big inning. Would make the bottom of the order more scrappy.

 

Who do we have down there that can do that? Navarro? Smoak? Goins? Carrera is not an everyday player

[glory]

Is it realistic at all to acquire pitching at the deadline while shipping Dickey to a 3rd team for salary relief? Boyd and Norris are better than Dickey already.

Pretty much impossible...

 

Hahaahahahahha AA is already stretched out trying to add BP help and move Navarro, come on man

yeah he did

the injury skewed his stats a bit but yeah i know what you mean our top 5 hitters are travis, donald,bats,eddy, and martin

[candymartinez]

It's such a gong show listening to Wilner. These callers just have to be trolling. Can't be this dumb.

Yeah, you haven't read the comments on the average TSN article, have you?

[GD]

Has anyone brought up witch craft yet? The entire board should do that one night.

[candymartinez]

Yeah, you haven't read the comments on the average TSN article, have you?

 

Can't say I have. Guess I better stay away.

 

The caller who wanted Pillar to bat 4th was the best.
