Must win game, need to put a nice streak together these next few weeks.

[glory]

Jays beat Archer a few days ago. Need to get that same magic going against Gray.

38% chance we win.

[jayswin11]

I'm thinking closer to 39%

[jaysfan2014]

Fair chance. A's are terrible vs. LHP (6-18).

[gruber92]

Colabello and Valencia vs Gray instead of Smoak and Carerra?

 

Hey AA.. How about giving Smoak a bit of rope and get Pompey back up here ASAP?

 

f*** me..

[LTR]

What is your formula? I'm using Pythagorean expectation, includes SP (predicted IP) + BP (remaining IP) + offense (lineup vs LHP/RHP) + defense + home park factor.

f*** me..

 

f***, you're right. No wonder our expected win% is so s***. Why the f*** is Valencia in. f***ing dumb.

And Kazmir goes tomorrow, so he could have put this lineup out there tomorrow instead of tonight if he wanted Mushroom and Valencia to play so badly.

 

The Jays have to win in spite of Gibbons. That's just the reality of the situation.

Gibbons=yoda

[RealAccountant]

Ugh at Valencia and Cola

[Frenchsoup]

I have been warned to only say nice things about Gibbons in GDT so that's what i will do.

[Frenchsoup]

I expect to see Bo Schultz and Osuna tonight no matter what the score is.

[L54]

Danny V is gonna silence all the haters tonight.

Doesn't seem to matter who comes in though, if it's a 1-run game we're going to lose right?

[LTR]

Danny V is gonna silence all the haters tonight.

 

He's actually killing righties this year but he's been out of his mind lucky. I can't even watch him vs righties he looks so awful, almost as bad as Reyes going righty righty.

If it's tied or a one run game late, then Loup and Tepera will surely get the nod.

It's because Danny V is the f***in man.

[labadee]

Nobody is hating on the guy, in fact we all hope he has a huge night.

 

Percentages bro.

[Frenchsoup]

I believe Danny V crushed a 3 run bomb off of right hander Steven Wright but does that count?

[gruber92]

I see Smoak is 1-12 with 6K's vs Gray. I guess he figures let's roll the dice with Valencia and his no career AB's vs Gray and being a RHB to boot. Colabello over Carerra is a coin toss, at least Valencia is in LF instead of Colabello.

 

On another note, Bautista is 4-6 vs Gray with a HR.

[Spanky99]

Fair chance. A's are terrible vs. LHP (6-18).

 

Same reason Gibbons has been saving Loup and Cecil for a tight game.

[jays76]

Hopefully Doubront is decent tonight and we can pull it out. Need to stay within striking distance of those filthy Yankees.

[RealAccountant]

Same reason Gibbons has been saving Loup and Cecil for a tight game.

 

Isn't Cecil horrible vs LHB BC they can spot his curve?

[fireballW]

Why the he'll can't Smoak play more than one day at a time when he is the best option vs. RHP. This is really getting ridiculous. Start playing each game to win ffs.
