General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

Probably unpopular, but I find Stroman incredibly annoying.

 

 

I get what he's saying but he made himself sound like a huge dick in the process. I'm fine with what he does on the mound, I'm sure he has no problem when guys pimp homers off him. Grilli looked like an idiot last night though.

Unpopular. Chase Headly was right on the money.

[ChrisS]

Stroman needs to shut his mouth and let his pitching do the talking, especially after what happened last night.

[thatoneguy]

Shut the f*** up Stroman.

[Grant77]

Probably unpopular, but I find Stroman incredibly annoying.

 

 

Definitely my least favourite player on the Jays personality wise. A huge Napoleon complex is never something I have admired in people.

what did Headley say yesterday?

[Candy Maldonado]

what did Headley say yesterday?

 

“Listen, these guys are the kings of fun. The bat flip, guys yelling at players,” Headley said. “Stroman was screaming at our guys when he was pitching, yelling at guys to ‘get off the effing field’ when you strike somebody out. So, you’ve got to take some of your medicine. I have no idea if that was what [Teixiera’s celebration] was about. But they certainly have no shortage of emotion. And if you’re going to play like that, then you’ve got to expect to get some of it back.”

 

"They’ve got a lot of guys over there who have a lot of bravado, if you want to call it that. They enjoy it when they hit home runs. They enjoy it when they get outs," Headley added. "And it rubs guys the wrong way sometimes. So, when you give up runs or you give up a big hit, guys are sometimes going to react that way."

everything he said is 100% on point. No idea why Stroman is being a dick about it..

[Jonn]

Stroman would like great in a different uniform next year.

Eh, I'm still fine with him on the team, I just want him to shut up sometimes.

[Maahfaace]

Stro has the classic little man syndrome, always on hyper defensive alert anytime anyone says anything about him. As for Grilli, he really cant say s***, he freaks out everytime he ends an inning ffs. Its an invitation to pimp tators off him.

[Plat]

f*** Stroman, Headley is 100 percent right

[thatoneguy]

f*** Stroman, Headley is 100 percent right

 

They're both right to some degree, but Stroman makes his side much worse by coming off as a total jagoff. Complaining about teams having fun in general is really dumb.

[THANOS]

Meh I support Stroman and the bravado on the team. That said, Headley is completely right. Stroman didn't need to respond.

[glory]

Yeah, Headley is spot on.

 

And that sucks because I'd rather be defending the Jays than the damn Yankees.

[thatoneguy]

Yeah, Headley is spot on.

 

And that sucks because I'd rather be defending the Jays than the damn Yankees.

 

Frankly I have some doubts about that.

[glory]

Frankly I have some doubts about that.

 

Doubts about what? Me defending the Jays? Lol. All I do is hype up the current front office every chance I get, but yeah, I'm a Yankees fan in disguise. You got me.

Not whether you were a Yankees fan.

 

I'm not going to go back to those comments pre-trade deadline, but suffice to say that had me wondering.

[RealAccountant]

Old 3 way tie for the WC would be beyond awesome

[2lowitzki]

So with today's victory, the Blue Jays are 10-7 against the Orioles. That means we already won the season series against the Orioles. If the Jays are tied with the Orioles for the first wildcard spot to end the season, the game will happen at our home.

 

I'm really worried about the Tigers because they got the Braves for their last 3 games.. We need to get through the BoSox at Fenway..

So I want the Jays to sweep the Orioles to clinch the first spot ASAP.

Yeah the Tigers could close strong. Games against an Indians team that is mailing it in and then games against the Braves. What happens if we tie with the Tigers though? We won the season series 4-3 so I assume we get home field advantage.

[Daniel Labude]

Probably unpopular, but I find Stroman incredibly annoying.

 

 

Great comments from Stroman. Headley is being a baby. He doesn't know what Stroman is yelling and if he ever yelled get off the F'ing field after striking a guy out we would see and hear it. There would also be words exchanged at that moment. Headley is making probably making stuff up to cover the classless display by Severino charging the plate.

[CBlake]

Jays clinch the 1st wild card with the Tigers and Orioles have to play a tiebreaker would be ideal.

Tigers vs Orioles vs Mariners

Jays hold the auto tiebreaker over both the Orioles and the Tigers for WC1. A WC2 tie is decided with an actual game though, so there's not as much of an advantage there (though the Jays would get home field for that game).

[G-Snarls]

Wildcard hame at home please

 

That's all we can really ask for at this point

 

And damn but I'd kill to be at that game...

[G-Snarls]

Well s***

 

Yankees have a significant SP advantage over the Red Sox for their last two games and they will never takes games against Boston lightly

 

It WOULD be fun if the Yankees won both of those games giving is at least a theoretical chance to catch the Red Sox on the weekend

 

Obviously highly highly unlikely but why not. Just for fun

[G-Snarls]

Succholz vs Mitchell

 

Henry Owens (Pomeranz out with forearm strain) vs Sabbathia

 

At Yankee Stadium

PM me if serious. My boss is being a dick lately.
