General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[puphood]

I don't base my opinion on one game however last night he looked like total s*** and honestly even Colabello's never had a night that bad. He is supposed to be a elite outfielder with a bat and to be honest he hasn't shown up yet. I am not even racking him as this team as a whole got destroyed last night by s*** defence and no bats. The fans at the stadium should of demanded their money back as this team folded like dirty shirt and gave up........and that is not what a contending team does......good luck to them today and lets see some effort

[Pendleton]

What games since he came have you missed. I saw them all and he isn't worth 1m let alone 20.

At least there is hope for Travis, he is only trying too hard some times.

Also foolish to base your opinion purely on stats.

 

No one said he was worth $20M, nor are we paying him nearly that much. Common sense says that a large sample size of stats are worth exponentially more than one game.

I don't care how bad Upton was last night, we have more than enough evidence to know he's a way better defender than Collabello.

Ben Revere is in Washington sucking enormous dick. He's one of the worst players in baseball this year posting a wRC+ of 47 and -1.0 WAR. I know it's hard to imagine, but Upton's been better than Revere this year during his stint with the Jays. Think about that for a second and absorb how f***ing terrible Revere is and then never mention his name again please.

 

The 2015 nostalgia will be strong as hell, especially if the Jays happen to miss the playoffs this season, so Revere > Upton just by the fact that he was on the 2015 roster.

The point here is he is getting the money, who cares where it is coming from and to the other players it would be bothersome to think he is taking up space on their bench.

JMHO

I never said nor do I believe that Upton is worse than Collabello, however last nights performance has to go down as one of the worst by a outfield with the Jays and Collabello though a terrible outfielder never had as bad a night like Upton's last night. So settle down.......

[thatoneguy]

EE on meeting: “We can’t wait two more weeks, we have to do it now if we want to win. We’ve got to turn things around. It’s now or never"

 

--- Trying harder in baseball doesn't work. This is a recipe for disaster.

 

Ok MJ.

[G-Snarls]

Lopsided loss, close win

 

Doesn't matter in the standings, it's still 1-1 against the team we need to beat

 

Win tomorrow (and the SP is heavily in our favour) and we're tied with them for 1st again

 

I'll take it

[THANOS]

By xFIP only Shields, Weaver, and Santiago have been worse than Buchholz this year.

 

We've already been dominated by Weaver this year, I wouldn't get too excited.

[goldbug103]

Actually Suckholz has given up only 3 ER in his last 3 starts (19 IP) ... so basically we're f***ed.

 

and Butthole has a history of dominating the 1 dimensional, right heavy jays.

 

should be another one where the 1 d offense gets shutdown and cant score runs.

[GD]

Looks like Greaseball has gotten the better of Edwin, Bautista, JD.

Martin, Upton, and Pillar have had success. Also Goins (lol).

 

Wowie look at those sample sizes

Are they meaningless? Almost but not completely.

Jose 70 PA... I would not be afraid to adjust his position slightly based on it.

Hard to win games when 3 runs is all you can produce.

It is not looking good to even make the WC

[Brownie19]

Loved the emotion Osuna showed after the last out. Grilli is rubbing off on him and it's awesome

Of course. It's amazing they've won 1 game so far let alone 78.

I don't remember him ever showing this kind of emotion. I got a hunch they feel the pressure and know they got to win.........Go Jays GO

There are no degrees to meaning and meaningless

You used the right word.!!!!!!!

Which one?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Just got back from a weekend roadtrip. I'm not going to bother catching up on all the threads. I'll just assume the place was pretty toxic.

Not bad all things considered, especially outside of the GDTs where people were understandably upset at the team and umpires.

 

That being said, I have most of the trolls and whiners on ignore so who knows.

Toxic is an understatement

[Spanky99]

Looks like Dickey's being skipped... Liriano tomorrow, followed by Stroman and Estrada. I guess he'll take Sanchez's start, when they skip him later this week.

Thank god, he is a 50/50 proposition at best, he is very much on or getting completely rocked, which seems to have more often than not of late. Also it mean no Tole in the batting order ( :

[glory]

I can't believe we are only 3 more weeks and less than a handful of starts away from never having to see Dickey start for the Jays again. It's like Christmas.

Should the Dickey be extended?
