Encarnacion - Pay this man his money

[Grant77]

What a f***ing moment. Pay this man his money. We owe him 100 million for that HR alone. What a player. Blue Jays for life, I love this guy.

[Grant77]

Jamie Campbell with the right idea. Here's your blank cheque.

[fatcowxlive]

Bring him and Bautista back f*** it. They got the mojo!

Look at the fans we're getting. Think about all of the money. I get the analysis and I get they might not be worth it, but these are franchise icons that define everything that this team is about.

Payroll coming out, Shapiro expanding Duniden footing most of the bill on the city, and ticket prices going up.... we gotta spend that money somewhere. We need to be up on Boston/LA/NYY levels where we can have aging players on payroll not effecting us.

It's so perfect.

Back the mother f***ing Brinks truck up. Jose see ya later, good morning Edwin!!

Ubaldo, had a great interview after the game.

[Dr. Dinger]

Pay that man.

[ElNik2013]

Relax. F/O will let the market set the price. At this point, it doesn't look like Bautista will much more than 2-3 years and I would think the same for EE.

 

I also expect the F/O to buy low on guys like Liriano from teams looking to dump salaries.

 

Let's see what happens.

[fatcowxlive]

Pay that man.

 

Next game Jays gotta chant that when he's up right?

[John_Havok]

Pay that man.

 

If I was Rogers, I would resign Edwin and then for April Fool's day next year add a sucahrge to everyone's monthly bills and label it "Edwin Contract Fund"

[Jimcanuck]

EE's price just went up, Jays gonna be competing with every other team for his services

 

Sounds like he'll take a bit of a discount though

 

4 yrs, $90M

[mtljaysfan]

Hope FO won't change their minds because of this HR. The HR was awesome, but we just needed a sac fly to win at that moment.

 

If anything, pitching won the game for us tonight, and our BO out-pitched O's BP! That's beautifully done.

[BlueRocky]

They're raking in the cash this year.

Take $1 out of every cellphone plan and seat sold this year and you can pay Edwin's whole contract

Just saying.

lol

[Thaze2016]

Well, then. I hate to be an "I told you so" kind of guy, but I do recall posting on the Blue Jays message board (several years ago) that Edwin would be a beast of an asset if the Jays would just bloody put him at DH. :-)

 

That being said, I am happy for the Jays and their fans! I hope that they can ride this high through the post season, though there are undoubtedly steep challenges ahead.

First post douche level already at epic scale.

How come EE was walked earlier with a base open and not walked in the 11th

With Jimenez he'd probably walk in the winning run with walktista up.

First base wasn't open in this case and there was already one out. EE is a good DP candidate as any and there's no need to put added pressure on Jimenez with the bases loaded. If there were no out, then possibly you walk EE to set up a force at any bag.

[Krylian]

You can't just say pay the man his money. If Eddie says 5 and 150...do you pay his man his money? f*** no.

 

You absolutely look at bringing Eddie back, but it has to be for the right term and dollar.

Eddie isn't Bautista. He's far more reasonable. He is probably willing to take 18-20 instead of 25, because he DH's and doesn't field game in game out.

[SweetSmellingChacin]

These guys are icons. Even if the Jays don't win a WS with this core, Eddie's and JBs homeruns will live on forever. Just classic stuff. I'm not worried about the offseason, what happens happens. Lets win a WS now.

It's a reactionary thread and we're all just happy and having fun.

[RealAccountant]

Resign Edwin and Jose

 

Build four statues in front of Rogers Centre

 

Carter Jumping after Homerun

Robbie Hands up after Homerun

Bautista Bat flip

Edwing after homerun

How about that Scott Rolen Trade eh,

 

Orlando Hudson ----> Troy Glaus -----> Scott Rolen ------> Edwin Encarnacion

[Dr. Dinger]

No, that Edwin Encarnacion was released. This is a different Edwin Encarnacion that we picked up off waivers.

I remember I hate him so much for not running out a grounder

[Governator]

We also lose the game if it wasn't for this play (We'd be down 3-1 instead of 2-1 after the next pitch). The defense last night was on point. When looking back it was one of the best games we've played all year on defense & pitching alone.
