GDT Bluebirds vs Redish Sox 1.07 pm

Harvey/Sabathia later. Still a reasonable shot the Jays will stay at 3.5 out, especially if Sabathia is garbage.

 

And BTW, the Yanks rotation for the series:

 

Warren, Severino, and either Tanaka or Pineda.

Everything was going great until Jays4lyfe19 started screwing with our momentum. f*** that guy.

 

I don't know why you keep spelling life wrong.

The first game of the series is really going to dictate the result of the series IMO. With it being Warren vs Price this is a game we just can't afford to drop. Not sure if we can rock Severino for a second straight start but with Estrada going that one should be tight... Not expecting much out of the finale if it's Tanaka, I have a feeling he's going to continue to play with our hitter's heads' as he has done in his past two starts.

Of course, if the Yanks lose the first two of the series and tonight's game, Tanaka could be pushed back if the Yanks have no shot at the division.

Harvey is on an extreme innings/pitch count limit. Will lucky to go three innings.

Of course, what will the Yanks get out of Sabathia?

 

BTW, the Yanks series starters are currently TBA..

 

Or they were... it's going to be Warren, Severino, Tanaka.

Can we play Smoak regularly at 1B now? Red Sox scored their first run today because of a sloppy play by Colabello. That would've been an easy double play for Smoak.

[jays4life19]

He doesn't deserve to have his username spelt correctly.

 

I agree John.

75 pitches per Hayman. So probably 4-5 innings.

Truthfully Smoak hasn't been all that sharp in the defensive side lately either. As a matter of fact it seems as if the entire team has kind of lost their defensive focus a bit. Even Goins and Pennington are making some uncharacteristic miscues as of late...

 

A team meeting at this point would probably be overboard but I hope the guys can pick each other up somehow and regain their confidence and focus. A good sign is that they've showed up to play the Yankees tough thus far all year for the most part, I just hope this will be the case once again.

[jays4life19]

You should be beaten.

 

reported.

[Belliss101]

I don't even want to watch the Yanks game today. I'll just check the score. I'm so rattled right now I don't want to see any baseball

[jays4life19]

Report to my fist.

 

lol i love you.

[ComeTogether]

Most important series next three games. Should be fun.

[jaysfan2014]

Jays magic number is going to be 5, as the Twins are destroying the Angels right now.

Pennington has been throwing like s***

I don't care about the wild card. Stop telling me about it.

I fully expect Yankees to win today

[Wolf]

No way Yanks are losing tonight's game. They know what's at stake. And Harvey i believe is in a pitch count.

Mets will have a say in that.

[EMK19]

I don't think Mets offence will get shut down for a second straight day, but that Harvey situation is so uncertain that I don't think they'll be able to completely quiet down the Yanks bats either. Expecting a pretty close mid-high scoring game tonight.

[Wolf]

Looking forward to the Yanks series. Tomorrow's game is a must win game. If the Jays lose tomorrow they could get swept.

 

Game 3 is pretty much an automatic loss w/ Tanaka pitching. He owns the Jays. And i don't like the Estrada/Severino matchup.

[Trouba95]

Jays really need to change their approach for the Tanaka game. HE THROWS A s*** TON OF OFF SPEED JUNK!

[venema20]

I really think the Tulp effect is really hurting the Jays. Since going down last Sunday, the Jays have been playing pretty bad baseball. Very sloppy defensively and seems like they don't have as much confidence. It seems to have hurt team morale.

 

Not having Goins at second has hurt the team quite a bit on D. And the lineup just doesn't have the same look. Just my opinion

[Daniel Labude]

We need to start playing like the best team in baseball instead of how we played before the Allstar break

Defensively I don't think it has hurt us overly much, I think Pennington has been fine for the most part defensively and I think the team as a whole just lost their defensive focus today, not just the middle two.

 

Offensively though I do think we miss Tulo's presence a lot, especially in light of how horrendous Pennington has been batting Right handed/weakening of the bottom of the order with him in every day. JD is slowing down noticeably as of late and Tulo would have been the guy with the most potential to pick up that slack right now.

At first, Pennington was filling in nicely on defense. But the last few games, he looks like Reyes out there. With Tulo in the game today, the Jays win it because they turn that doubleplay where Penny threw wide.

 

And obviously offensively it is a huge downgrade. But I also think team morale and team confidence took a hit. Look at the way the team was playing after the trades, and now look. Tulo goes down and the team is just missing that extra little bit to push them over the top right now.

[Wolf]

So Joe Girardi just announced Nova will start Wed in Toronto. Tanaka apparently has a grade 1 hamstring strain.

[EMK19]

I'd really be in favour of Barney getting some starts now at 2B. Pennington's a fine utility man but not a consistent everyday player calibre guy IMO, at most maybe a platoon. But Gibbons seems very adamant about playing Pennington as an everyday guy right now, probably with post season in consideration (in which Barney can't play). I get that, but IMO with nothing decided yet that's looking too far ahead.
