GDT: Padres @ Blue Jays (1/3) - Bautista Returns!

[Grant77]

I'm pretty sure either Delgado or Green would have done it at some point.

 

Yes, they both did.

 

Padres coach Mark McGwire did it to left field.

Zaun says that Sale is the only pitcher in the AL who is better than Sanchez right now...

[Belliss101]

Red Sox pitching is atrocious

Grilli hasnt figured out Barry is a douchbag yet

gross

 

we need bullpen help not another outfielder, especially a loose cannon like BJ

That Dickerson HR... I have to admit, I only remember a few times seeing a HR ball reach the 500's (Blue Jays legend Jayson Werth comes to mind) and the only times it happened, I remember them being just inside the foul pole and barely making it into the 1st row. That one was a legit 2-3 rows deep and wasn't even close to the foul pole. I don't think I've ever seen a ball travel that far here before.

 

I'm not even mad, that was amazing.

I wonder who we'll have to give up.

I have to think if it happens, Storen is going the other way to offset some of the salary.

As long they are eating salary its a good move.

Hopefully him and Smoak : )

Josh Phelps in 2004 I believe.

If Bautista is moving to DH and EE is playing first...

If it puts Smoak's big dumb f***ing ass on the bench then i'm all for it. Improves our outfield defense and improves the offense drastically.

Good point, I never thought of that.

[Lil Looper]

Sure to an extent, obviously his salary is way too high for his game.

It has to be this year we compete though.

 

Id rather get a high priced great bullpen piece then worry about the 2017 outfield (i.e. no sauders/bau)

 

We just dont need him more than we need top bullpen relief

[jaysblue]

Who is on the trade market...

[jaysblue]

Padres need some bullpen help after trading Rodney. Plus, I could see Storen having success there.

[thatoneguy]

Josh Phelps in 2004 I believe.

 

Edwin did it last year against Baltimore off of Matusz.

 

 

Also did it in 2013 off of Lester although this was just inside the pole (several rows deep though).

 

[jaysblue]

 

Should I do the GDT again tomorrow?

[jaysguy44]

Why wasn't Upton playing?

[Pendleton]

Who is on the trade market...

 

Fair enough I must have missed that part, makes sense considering the pitching market isn't all that great.

[intrigid]

If Bautista is moving to DH and EE is playing first...

 

 

Encarnautista platoon at 1st?

[Belliss101]

Sox bases loaded nobody out

[Jonn]

Encarnautista platoon at 1st?

 

Sound's lovely.

[Jonn]

Yes.

[STLJaysFan]

I remember when Wallace was a top Cardinals prospect and was involved in the Holliday trade, and now he's bounced around a bit and is toying with the Mendoza line as a bench player on a bad team

Pretty sweet that we turned Brett Wallace into Devon Travis
