Red Sox will be a good team in 2016.

 

we just want them to suck just as much against us as they have against NY.

[L54]

No. Just letting out some steam.

 

Go outside then.

Yes, I agree. My post wasn't even directed at you, just hadn't refreshed the page.

 

I hope the Jays get to see Henry Owens. That would be fun.

need the stinking braves to bend over and take it as well. They were putrid against NY.

Gotta hope we miss Miller. But yeah...we need to f*** them up. No slacking like Philly game.

They didn't fare too well against the Braves back in April.

I was really hoping we could get a couple games of separation before next weeks series against the yankees.

Yeah, I'm ready to not have them nipping at our ankles. s***'s getting real, need a breather. lol

[L54]

They will.

 

Good to know, Troubs.

[Trouba95]

Okay, so we all become temporary Rays fans this weekend. Odurizzi, Moore and Archer. Love you BTS and Hurl!

[Trouba95]

Houston or Texas? Which team do we want winning the AL West?

[burlingtonbandit]

Houston or Texas? Which team do we want winning the AL West?

 

Both of them are pretty good matchups for the Jays. Houston has Keuchel and Kazmir who are both LHP and Houston's park is geared toward our lineup. Texa has Hamels and Holland. Houston is still the better team I would say though.

[Trouba95]

Yeah, I think I'd rather face the Astros as long as we have home advantage.

[Orgfiller]

I think the Astros are a much better team than the Rangers. Keuchel induces a ton of groundballs, which is probably not great for this lineup.

[Orgfiller]

A classic position vs position comparison:

 

C: Jason Castro/Hank Conger > Bobby Wilson/Chris Gimenez

1B: Mitch Moreland/Mike Napoli > Chris Carter

2B: Jose Altuve >> Rougned Odor

3B: Adrian Beltre (if healthy) >> Luis Valbuena/Jed Lowrie

SS: Carlos Correa >>> Elvis Andrus

LF: Colby Rasmus/Preston Tucker > Josh Hamilton (if fully healthy, this could be flipped)

CF: Carlos Gomez >> Delino Deshields Jr.

RF: George Springer (if healthy) >> Shin-Soo Choo

 

SP1: Dallas Keuchel > Cole Hamels

SP2: Scott Kazmir > Derek Holland

SP3-SP5: Mike Fiers, Lance McCullers, Collin McHugh >> Yovani Gallardo, Colby Lewis, Martin Perez

 

Bullpen: Astros >>> Rangers, the Astros are 9th in xFIP, the Rangers are last.

 

I don't really see how the Rangers are better at all.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah I'd much rather face Texas as a Jays fan. I just want to win the division though. We aren't at the point of the season where we should be looking at potential matchups. Damn next week's series vs NY is going to beeen HUGEEEE. Kinda want to drive up for the Saturday game, especially if Stro is starting.

If Houston doesn't shape up soon, there's still the risk they miss the playoffs altogether.. their lead's down to 2, Houston owns the Rangers this season, plus they face the Twins this weekend, who could knock the Astros out of the postseason mix if they sweep..

[King]

Anyone watching Twins vs White Sox. Samardzija gascanning early.

[BlueBirdBro]

I was going to ask, is Shark just really unlucky lately or has he actually BEEN bad?

[reedjohnsonfan]

I was going to ask, is Shark just really unlucky lately or has he actually BEEN bad?

 

He hasn't been very good but that's more from missing his spots way too much. The velocity is still there and his Slider and Splitter still seem sharp. Would be a great buy low in the offseason IMO

[Trouba95]

4-1 Twins. Want Tex or Houston to somehow fall out and the Twins make it in. Two horse race between Tex and Min is interesting.

[BlueBirdBro]

I've been bored at work today so I went from various non-baseball fans to the next asking them to pronounce Samardzija

I don't think anybody pronounces Samardzija correctly

[Trouba95]

So apparently CC is going to rejoin the rotation. Will the Yanks go with a 6-man rotation?

[labadee]

KC threatening 2 on one out

[dineke]

Who the f*** cares? Jays are better than both.

still going to get a big deal

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Thank you Chicago !!! FYSMC KC !! Fear The Bird we are coming for you!!!

[thatoneguy]

I think a lot of people pronounce it correctly since they hear it on sports news or w/e, but they can't spell it correctly to save their lives (speaking from experience here).
