General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

If we are up by say 3 runs after 6 or 7 tomorrow but Sanchez pitch count was up, would it make any sense for stroman to pitch? If he closes out the last couple innings and we win,everyone gets to rest. I haven't run all the odds but I would feel much more comfortable having stroman hold a lead then counting on our banged up bullpen. Tied game I wouldn't I guess but if we are up my gut is that -might- be the right move.

Welcome to the board and thanks for not starting a thread with your first post.

Welcome, I don't think its a terrible idea, especially if we wanted to get some work for stroman before the ALCS started cause its possible the Indians Redsox series goes the distance leaving him to not of thrown a pitch since the wild card game.

 

However, I don't think it Will happen, Gibbons is a traditionalist and will be closing that game 3 up with the bullpen that got him here.

Welcome to the boards. I don't think your suggestion is unrealistic by any means especially with Liriano out. I myself would still prefer to use the pen and have Stro ready for game four if needed.

Welcome! With the day off today I expect to see a mix of Biagini/Cecil/Grilli to help bridge the gap to Osuna. No playing around, we go for the kill. Plus if we waste Stroman and end up losing the game then we are forced to draw Estrada on short rest... also it's not good to keep taking a starter back and forth from the Rotation and the pen. Besides if we win tomorrow we won't have a game until like Friday right? Plenty of rest to reset the fatigue of the starters and relievers.

[Spanky99]

It's not happening, suggesting it is asinine. So if we lost, you go to Estrada on 3 days rest, what the hell is our bullpen for, cheerleaders?! K....

News flash: Liriano out Barnes in due to concussion. Not sure if this is the 7 day DL and he'll be back for the CS or if he's out for that too

That means Liriano's out for the LCS... f***. At least they called up the right pitcher.

nope!!! Concussion protocols says otherwise

 

[Governator]

Apparently it doesn't actually mean he's out of LCS. There's a new clause for concussions, he can literally be out for 1 game until MLB clears him.

[Spanky99]

You learn something new everyday.

That's really cool, that way the team doesn't lose out and the player isn't put in jeopardy. How the hell does the MLB have a better concussion protocol than football lol

I'm curious to see how the jays fans will treat odor

Hopefully we're up by 7 runs and Grilli beans him. Would be hilarious to see Odor try to reach up to Grilli.

[thatoneguy]

I'd rather not see another one of the Jays' relievers unavailable so f*** that.

Exactly. There's no need for that's kind of crap to be initiated or even retaliated if they throw it first. It's garbage baseball

This guys posts are on repeat.

[SAAviour]

A 3 game sweep with Odor dong nothing to help his team is perfect revenge for me. No fastball to the back needed.

I hope they cheer him that will confuse the f*** out of him. Booing him will probably fire him up.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

You have to hit Odor in the back...but not now...next year sometime and they will Gibbons is old school

[KingKat]

At some point, someone has to let it go. You can just keep going back and forth with the retaliation ad infinitum. Beat the Rangers tomorrow. Expose their fluky W-L record for what it is and move on. The loss will hurt them even more this time because they won't have a perceived slight upon which to focus their frustration. They'll have to look in the mirror this time.

We need to pimp a home run though if it's late in the game and we're up, if they're going to get swept after all they drama they've done this year they need to learn to take the "disrespectful antics" from us and shut it lol

[Mkdaman1818]

Pimp the win, don't do anything until we get the W. Texas is still in this series just like we were last year.

Yeah just beat them and leave them to be butt hurt.

No you don't... a sweep cleans up everything literally. Texas will have nothing to say but the Blue Jays are better. If they choose to plunk us than things will explode again.

[VE2OH]

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?

 

The same with Goins vs Smoke. Goins can play all infield positions, Smoke only 1b fairly well. Now with Travis out what happens if JD comes up lame or TuLo gets hurt.

Don't tell me Smoke is a better hitter,defence still matters.....

They figured we're not going to lose more than one infielder and Gibby likes having his pinch hitters.

Also, if you're in a position where you need to replace two infielders, chances are the game is done anyway.

who the hell is Smoke

A guy who is just a puff in the wind.

You are toooo serious.

Boy, we should really fire this Walker idiot and replace him with that Calloway guy
