Zwelling thinks like me.... As in we are going to sweep them lol.

[RealAccountant]

If you go Sanchez only starts once then I start him in Game 2.

I would go

 

Happ

Sanchez

Retards

Stroman

Happ

 

Or given Estrada's success you go

 

Estrada

Sanchez

Happ

Stroman

Estrada

 

But estrada doesn't start at Rogers Centre which is a must

[SweetSmellingChacin]

Maybe Happ and Estrada in games 1 and 2.

 

If the Jays are in a must win game 3, then you go Sanchez, or if the series is tied or the Jays are up 2-0, you go with Stro in game 3 and then pitch Sanchez in game 4 with Happ in 5.

[RealAccountant]

Does Lariano stay in the bullpen or start?

 

The fact that Cecil walked Davis tells me you need Liriano in the bullpen

[Grant77]

I like Estrada-Happ-Sanchez-Stroman if we're not going to double down on Sanchez. Keep them on fairly regular rest and you can go with the hot hand in game 5.

The Rangers had a +8 run differential this year. That's.....yeah.

Joey will hit series winning walk off hr then do a bat flip, then a mock punch to his face, then a boxing shuffle at at home plate before slowly rounding the bases yelling "f you" at each Ranger he encounters. Slide into 2B studs up, then get up and jog home, moonwalking to touch home.

Hey KingKat. Just wanted to say f*** you, you f***ing libtard. I said nothing last night that deserved to get banned.

 

Next time, wield your moderator "powers" when you're sober.

King's not a mod, try harder. There were warnings in place during the GDT.

TBH with you, I think our starters were excellent over the season but by removing Dickey, I think we are in for a long playoff run!

 

Lariano looked lights out coming out of the pen.

LOL please I want him to reach home plate and Donaldson swings at Bautista and bautista fakes a drop lmaooooooo

 

I wanna hear the Dome when Odor comes to the plate

[THANOS]

I hope no one throws at anyone and hopefully we learned our lesson with Benoit's injury.

 

It's much better to get even by Bats hitting another smash and going extremely over the top with the celebration.

[admin]

Looking at the current situation though, a short series helps when you have a lack of depth. They could use Hamels/Darvish in 4/5 of the games.

 

That's the s***** thing about playoffs for us, our deep starting pitching depth doesn't mean much. If you have two great pitchers you should be okay.

[RealAccountant]

Anybody get the feeling we are going to walk over the Rangers here

[Mkdaman1818]

I'd rather we win big, and do a punching uppercut motion every time we round the bases on a homer

Friggin 1pm on Friday??

Rangers fans are really cocky--they think they're going to beat up the Jays. Well, their lackluster September/October(15-13 with a negative run differential) and their bottom-tier pitching staff (13th in the AL), with a 25th in MLB ranked bullpen, will get them exposed in the playoffs--it's going to be more difficult to win 1-run games when they're facing elite pitching all the time. Ask the 2012 O's, who went 29-9 in 1-run games...and proceeded to lose to the Yankees in the ALDS due to their weak starting rotation and struggles to get on base (an issue still continuing to this day).

 

With Sanchez and Happ starting, Jays could have a good shot of winning this series and booking a date with Cleveland or Boston.. we just need the bats to show up.

 

Rangers have struggled on the mound since July--after their 20-8 June, they went 44-38 the rest of the way, but were outscored 417-370.. and the offense dropped off post-All Star Break. And the starting pitching has been terrible all season--the offense has had to bail out the team frequently, as the team's ERA was north of 4 the entire summer.. as HRs, walks and a lack of strikeouts hurt this team.

[Governator]

lol @ ESPN's MLB Home page, absolutely nothing about Jays winning at the top just butthurt that the O's didn't beat us or something... we're not even a "top headline"

Texas' 15-13 September/October is evidence that they're doomed, but Toronto's 13-16 is no biggie?

We played 16 games against Yankees/O's/Red Sox in Sept/Oct. Rangers played 18 of their last 21 games against sub .500 teams and last 15 in a row.
