Somebody get Collabello and his chemistry set up here asap.

Or Canseco and his steriods to be the hitting coach!! Those warning track balls would have been home runs then!!

Pompey can be used as a lefty so I could see him being inserted out of desperation but I don't love it by any stretch. I think whatever fairy dust the Jays were going to get out of Zeke this year is pretty much used up. Lately he's been looking a lot like the player we hated so much last year.

 

Absolutely. I have no delusions about what kinda player Zeke is, but at least he's a lefty and has the ability to turn on a heater... I was hoping the best outta Upton and he's fine as a bench piece, but he adds little to the lineup. If you're gonna have him start, make sure it's against a guy who doesn't have a good heater.

 

I know it's easy to hate the Orioles, but Buck Showalter's really great at utilizing his players in situations for success. Hyun Soo Kim can't hit guys with good heat very well, so Showalter only utilizes him in favorable matchups and when he's given the opportunity he's excelled. I suppose it's not really Gibby's fault as he hasn't had many options on the bench as the depths been a problem. Now that we have the call-ups he should be able to utilize the roster a little more effectively and shouldn't have Upton starting against a righty like Mitchell who can hit 96-97 with the heater. It's a pretty ignorant oversight on Gibby's part.

Seriously, any team should be beating the Padres--San Diego is a bad team. I still feel the Jays will rebound vs. the Sox--Boston is not good against contending teams (43-40 vs. teams over .500) and are the weakest team in the AL East vs. contending teams in the AL East.. they've mostly fattened up on the dregs of the league.. they're mediocre vs. the Jays and O's, and the Yankees beat Boston last time.

[TheGrandslamMan]

Bostons got the electricity of youth though, and it's pretty much an 8 inning game if we trail with Kimbrel back in the pen.

 

The Jays are looking pretty flat, and I'm frankly concerned. Part of me expects them to bounce back and be all business VS the Sox, but I fully expected them to be that way VS the Rays and Yanks. I really think some of the big bats are slowing down... Dog days of summer just ended and all and the grind of a long season seems to be taking it's toll on them.
