Pillar has a way bigger bat wiggle or is that just me?

Pillar has a way bigger bat wiggle or is that just me?

 

He was a lot more quiet at the plate when he was swinging well last year.

[burlingtonbandit]

Dominguez is such a bad hitter lol

[Jonn]

God those commercials are awful.

[Terminator]

Dominguez is such a bad hitter lol

 

He really is.

[baloojayz]

Sanchez has been much better than him too. Estrada and Sanchez have easily been the 2 best pitchers for the Jays.

 

All we really need is for Stroman to be better than Dickey and we should be good. Hope he figures things out. Looked like he made a conscious effort to go 4seam change a lot more which is a good sign. Didnt see him trying to run back the 2 seam, another good thing to take out of his start.

[Cyborg]

Interesting that the NESN broadcasters pointed out that Estrada has been tougher than Stroman. Basically that Estrada is the ace. I agree.

One could also argue Sanchez has been our ace so far.

[polar bear]

Red Sox are going to be all over Edwin. Will be interesting to see how much they give him.

 

He's a natural fit for Fenway,I suggested a straight up trade last year,EE for Pedroia,which wasn't well received

on here.

Estrada just craved up Ortiz

[Pendleton]

Seemed like Estrada got a bit more of the plate than he intended there but Ortiz just plain missed it.

[Pendleton]

Saved by the weird park dimensions there

[baloojayz]

Lucky break

[jaysguy44]

Good job kev

[gbill2004]

There's a good chance Ortiz comes back next year.

[fatcowxlive]

Glad to see the long ball working today!!! And good to see Estrada chugging along despite him not being nearly as sharp as usual

[Terminator]

Shaw deserves it for his weak Fenway special yesterday.

[Effit]

Estrada just craved up Ortiz

 

Carved him up pretty good, as well.

[polar bear]

I thought Travis was faster

 

Should have made it pretty easily,disappointing.

[Pendleton]

Glad to see the long ball working today!!! And good to see Estrada chugging along despite him not being nearly as sharp as usual

 

Bit of a rough start but he's found his usual form now for the most part

[baloojayz]

Lol Zaun hindsight biased analysis everytime

[Stoneyen]

Lol NESN announcers saying that Bradley is the best center fielder they've ever seen. And they mention Adam Jones and his gold gloves as another great defensive CF.

[gbill2004]

Barney looks badass with the stache!!

[Effit]

Shaw would be putting up Big Papi type numbers this year if he only played the Jays.

Considering HanRam's struggles to hit for power, Sandoval's health concerns, and question whether Shaw is a long term piece, as he is a stopgap until Rafael Devers or Michael Chavis is MLB ready, you can imagine Boston will be interested in EE.

 

However, he will cost Boston a pick very likely, plus Boston's budget is a bit tight after this season due to all these bad contracts for HanRam, Sandoval and Porcello (About $190M is already on the books for 2017, assuming Ortiz and Buchholz depart), and the fact they have many other holes to fill in the rotation and bullpen, as Uehara and Tazawa are free agents, and Boston's system doesn't have suitable replacements.

Still I see some hard hit balls resulting in flyouts. Slightly lucky today, but we deserve it after the long stretch in april of no luck

[baloojayz]

Buying some time for the rain

[fatcowxlive]

Great AB, what a pickup Barney was. Couldn't play on the PostSeason but man he's playing a key role with the Travis and Tulo injuries

[baloojayz]

Barney can't play in the postseason?

Edit: Oh wait last season lol nvm

HanRam and Porcello aren't bad contracts.

Last year.
