Will miss most of this one, but my presence will be felt by the GDT.

 

Cheers.

Didn't know we were facing Archer today.

 

Welp, I doubt he'll have two duds in a row

[EMK19]

Really glad to see the return of the road greys, even if it is forced by the Rays wearing their alternates. Hope they win with it today to shake off that superstition they have with greys being bad luck/blues being good luck.

Should be an interesting game. This is another good tune up game for the first playoff game on Thursday.

Someone called in to Wilner the other day saying it's been since July vs the Royals when they wore them. Apparently the Jays are something like 10-21 wearing them this season.

GO JAYS

I have no idea why people like the Grey's. It's a bland colour and does not look good at all

[JaysAllMighty]

Cheers to all of you and our Jays for a great game and hopefully another win against the smelly fish!

 

[labadee]

Need to win to keep pace with the royals who won today. Lets go blue jays!

His reason was because it's more traditional and has the city on it. Makes sense but I agree they are bland obviously.

Yeah, I think they stopped wearing the greys for a long period in 2013 season as well. The players certainly don't seem to like wearing them too much, probably its part superstition and part them liking the blue alternates more. I appreciate the greys more than they do I guess since it looks close to their road greys of the championship years. (We didn't get the alternate blue jersey until 1994)

[Krylian]

Did Tabler say Melvin Upton? I must be going deaf.

[Daniel Labude]

Let's Go Blue Jays!!!!!!!!!!

[candymartinez]

What a goddam meatball

[HERPDERP]

this is what happens when we wear the greys

[THANOS]

There's your boy Zaun.

[EMK19]

Estrada certainly worries me with HR proneness, I have to say... We basically have to pray they don't have any runners on board when they do.

or throw a meatball down the pipe

I really thought Pennington was a better defender. He's shown shiat defense since playing with the jays

that was a tough play. i was one of pennington's biggest critics but he's been fine and has been made so huge plays as well. the one against NYY stands out to me

[Maahfaace]

He's also bunged up alot routine plays, not to mention his errant throws

If Diaz is eligible I bring him with me instead. Better defender, much more accurate arm, and probably a better hitter.

[labadee]

good job, EE

I don't know about his hitting, but for sure he's a better defender, especially as a utility guy

[o2cui2i]

when do teams have to announce their ALDS roster?

[HammerJay]

Nothing against Estrada, but he is a "poo thrower" who is having a career year.

He gives up beautiful meatballs at a prolific rate, now 23 for the year. Don't often

disagree with Zaun, but no way is he the 3 starter ahead of Stroman

[Maahfaace]

Nice play Beckham

^ this. for a guy who hits as poorly as Penny he has to be hugely steady on D to have any value.
