This.

Agreed. We all remember what happened last year. Lets not have a repeat of that

Travis MRI comes back clean.

[Masterbather]

I'm starting to think Travis is made of glass.

 

Hopefully Liriano's results come back clean. Still don't trust him as much as most people seem to. It's like everybody wants to forget his struggles for the vast majority of the season in favour of a few nice outings lately. Nonetheless, between him and Loup, I'll take my chances with him any day.

If Liriano is DL do we move Dickey on to the playoffs rosterb

Martin made the difference...He has been solid in a Jays uniform.

Given that the extra pitcher was insurance against Osuna's status, and Osuna does seem okay, I assume we put a position player (Pompey?) back on.

Yeah, I get the Martin connection, but I'm not prepared to sell out to that notion. I consider Liriano a big unknown in these playoffs. Quite frankly, he wasn't looking too hot in that game before he got plunked.

I didn't even realize Pompey was left off. I'd think he'd be more valuable than someone like Feldman. What is Feldman's role? Mop up man if they're getting blown out?

[TorontonianJD]

Liriano with mild concussion per twitter. No timetable for return.

[baubau]

So... do we also blame Martin for Storen going to crap? Or give him credit on Benoit (who never pitched with him)?

 

I just hope Lariano pulls a Estrada and becomes a 3 WAR pitcher again. At this point I am just blaming/crediting the Toronto water more than Martin.

No Storen's downfall was his fastball velo dropping

Travis may have got injured getting out of bed

[Josh]

Its my feeling that this series may be back in Texas for game 5

You can't do that, it would have to be a pitcher, and we lose Liriano for the next series... no thanks.

Mods please

Just because of how these teams play each other in the past. They take it to the max number of Games

About as baseless of an opinion as you could come up with.

[flafson]

Liriano with mild concussion, I don't think he's going to play anytime soon.

[Jonn]

So can we add Goins and Pompey to the roster with Travis and Liriano out. Or do we have to add a pitcher in which case that should be Danny Barnes.

[ChrisS]

They would miss the next series. Nothing should be done until after tomorrow's game. I'm hoping we can close it out and Liriano can be good to go on Friday.

Get f***ing rid of "Josh", mods.

Nice! Still hoping for a Jays vs Nats World Series. Long, long way to go of course.
