GDT - 4:30PM ALDS Game 1 Jays vs. Rangers - 11 WINS TO GO!

[Stangstag]

Barney > Goins. I'd love to have another LHH option....um....unless its Ryan Goins.

 

Saunders/Smoak/Carrera/Navarro is enough IMO.

[Stangstag]

Yeah 0 speed, not sure if I like this, he was big with his speed last year.

 

He allowed Bautista's homerun to happen in game 5. Had a good slide at the plate to break up a double play. Just before Donaldson's at bat.

[Dr. Dinger]

Yeesh, why would you keep both Tepera and Feldman over Pompey? His elite pinch running could be critical in a close game. He was incredible last year in the playoffs in PR situations. I can sort of understand keeping Feldman as a long guy, but Tepera is just useless.

I have a bad feeling about this

[ChrisS]

7 relievers + 1 Elite PR or 8 relievers.. hmm lets take the latter, seems like an incredibly bone headed decision.

I don't dislike Barney just think we can't rely on his bat...but you can use Goins for his glove. Travis isn't the best at staying in the lineup!

 

Anyway LETS GO JAYS

My guess is Tepera does not even get a look in this series or i mean shouldn't get a look..... f*** me

[glory]

Yeah either they will not use Tepera, which makes his presence pointless, or they will use him and it might hurt the team on the field. No point having Tepera over Pompey, even with the uncertainty with Osuna.

I agree. Who took this decision, anyway? Gibby? That wouldn't be surprising.

Shoulda dropped Smoak if anything

No way? These are really bullet holes? HAHA.

 

Texans are not friendly? So is "Southern Hospitality" a myth?

Huge myth, if you don't drive a pickup truck people will flip you off on the roads, besides Austin the whole state is a shithole, this was taken near the Mexico/Texas/US border and was +43 degrees out that day and just pure desert trash.

What about Dallas? One guy I know lives there and he told me it's cool (but he has a good corporate job so I guess that could influence his opinion)

Dallas meh, the downtown is weird, after the 9-5 crowd is done work it's honestly a ghost town in the downtown area, the whole Dallas-Fort Worth area is huge so maybe it has nice pockets, if you ever get lost and find yourself in Texas just get to Austin as fast as you can and you will love it, lots of music, galleries, bars, lakes (not much of Texas has water) and friendly people that are mostly transplants from all over the place due to Austin's cheap living compared to most other large cities.

 

To give you an example this is my buddy laying down in a downtown Dallas street equivalent to Toronto's King/Spadina area at 6pm on a Friday lol

if you want to feel a bit better:

 

(And the Rangers might be a lot worse.)

You are highly underrating Beltre...

 

I know Beltre is great, but Donaldson has an OPS+ of 152 vs 128, WRC+ 155 vs 130 for Beltre, bWAR of 7.4 vs 6.4, and fWar 7.6 vs 6.2; perhaps you're underrating Donaldson? He is clearly the better player, although I understand that may be negated somewhat if he is seriously hurt right now.

When talking about a short 5 game series there's nothing wrong with saying Beltre is only slightly behind Donaldson in 'advantage worthy' when he's currently the hottest in baseball.

Texas is pretty big. I'm pretty sure he's talking about that particular part of Texas that is full of hicks and stereotypes and what not

[KingKat]

I can sort of understand keeping Feldman as a long guy, but Tepera is just useless.

 

Tepera is probably in the 7th inning role now.

 

7th Cecil/Tepera

8th Biagini

9th Grilli

 

NOT SAYING I AGREE WITH THIS FOOLISHNESS

Well parts are always close to my heart but lots of times Texas sucks.

Whenever I cross the street and see one of those beasts coming my way I can't imagine but think how bad it would be to die from one of those street cars.
