Might be in the minority, but didn't find that funny.

Collobello or Smoak? Kansas City is all righty starters correct?

Colabello with Smoak replacing him later for defense.

Colabello was our best hitter against Texas. I don't think you can sit him now.

[nextyear]

Colabello showed that he belongs on the field as the starting 1st baseman, even defensively he was good.

 

If the Blue Jays get to the World Series, then unfortunately Colabello will be on the bench for the NL home games.

Likely Collobello w/ Smoak as 1B defensive replacement or situational PH. You go with the hot hand and Cola has it right now. Unless he goes 0-4 or something like that, unlikely you'll see Smoak start.

Bat in the face at 2:40 haha

[Shogun89]

Don't you guys miss Puck and Bat dynamic duo commentary.

 

Puck - "HIGHT AND DJEEEEEP GET UP BALL GET UP BALL!!!"

Bat - "Pompey is pinch running because Pompey has great speed. Revere is batting and Revere has great speed."

[nextyear]

Maybe this has been posted already.

 

I didn't think I would be happy to see Loup on the roster but recently he has been decent.

 

[Mozzer]

Is it possible the Jays play day games at home again vs KC?

[Brans]

Texas mainly has left handed pitchers. Cola is excellent against left handed pitchers. It is not wise to have so many right handed batters against right handed pitching. Justin Smoak is fine batting lower in the lineup. He has come through for us with big hits and he has hit 18 homeruns.

[Yorkshire Blue Jay]

Is it possible the Jays play day games at home again vs KC?

 

Monday's Game 3 (home game 1) will be a night game but I would guess every game when paired with the NLCS will be a day game so Mets/Cubs will get the primetime slot, so Tuesday and Wednesday (if needed) will be around a 3.30pm to 5pm start time, especially as Chicago who are hosting are on central time.

Not sure if this has been posted but this is a pretty epic rap, Toronto vs KC 2015 ACLS version. Don't know how to embed videos so I just posted the link. Someone else could do the honor.

cliffs:

 

Pillar far, far worse than Cain

Martin barely better than Perez

Osuna far, far worse than Davis

Blue Jays SP just barely better than the pile of s*** KC runs out

 

This is such an MLB.com list.

 

What is the point of comparing closers? If a closer comes in, his team is ready to win the game. A player in the closer role really doesn't match up with his counterpart the way players at other positions do.

 

What's next, best lead off man? Best groundball guy? Best 8 hitter?

[HERPDERP]

burlingtonbandit clear your inbox again brah!

[Governator]

Who's doing GDT?

[mtljaysfan]

Can't wait for the games to begin.

 

I expect this to be an intense battle and we win in 5 lol

 

My wishes:

 

1. Regular season forme Price

2. Offense staying focused and disciplined

3. Not missing Cecil too much

 

Go Jays Go!

Be nice to win in 5, only way to win at home is sweep or win in 5. The 7 game schedule is kind of strange, they don't flip flop 5 & 6

So far in the playoffs, teams have been better on the road.

 

So we have field avantage on our side lol

[Travis_Snider]

Would love to win at least 1 of the first 2 games in KC

That's what I'm saying. We just need to take one of these two games and we are sitting pretty.

I think its essential to steal one in KC. You have to win atleast one game in KC to win the series. And its hard to imagine we will take 3 straight at home. The 2-3-2 setup is so interesting because if the road team can steal both games your in the drivers seat. If you lose both you're in a lot of trouble unless you sweep all 3 at home. I feel we can go into KC and take atleast one if not both. I think we are better than them. They are free swinging we have pitchers who benefit from that kind of approach.

[puphood]

Kaufman stadium slightly bigger in dimensions than the Rogers centre in RC-C-LC by 10-15 feet and should give Estrada some breathing room with Pillar out there.....let go Jays

Yea agree, with the 2-3-2 set up we really need to win one of the first 2 games. On the flip side this also puts a lot of pressure on KC team they pretty much have to hold us off in the first 2 games or we gain back the advantage.

[Jonn]

Who's doing GDT?

 

I am but I'm not making it until the lineups are posted. Which might not be until around 5. So no need for people to panic I'm going to be around to post it in plenty of time.

[Mac Outlaw]

Any word yet on the roster for this series? I'm expecting Thole to make the cut this time, perhaps at the expense of Tepara. Or Carrera.
