GDT - 1PM ALDS Game 2 Jays vs. Rangers - 10 WINS TO GO!

[jays4life19]

Took the day off work for all of these. As a baseball fan these match ups are awesome.

 

Lucky. I don't have that luxury...and i can't call in sick because my boss knows how much i love baseball and that would just be awkward on Monday. I have a big screen tv by my desk though and my employer plays all the games, so it could be worse.

[LGBJ29]

Well nobody's saying Zeke's better than Travis. Travis of course IS a much better hitter.

 

I wouldn't suggest flipping them in regular season. But in playoffs you need to play hot hands (bats).

 

His ABs didn't matter yesterday in a blowout, but might have a more (negatif) impact in a close game.

 

That being said, I know he's a good player and hope he has better ABs todays.

 

I definitely understand what you're saying, but it's still 2 games. You have to think about who's going to give you the better AB's going forward, and thats likely going to be Travis. Now if his struggles start to hit 5+ games, then I'd be more ok with a shuffle.

[Rusty_Savage]

I cant wait! 13 hours of ball I'm going to watch lol. My wife is thrilled.

 

I'm in the same boat.

 

I love playoff baseball!

[Floortom]

Martin should probably be moved to #8 or #9. He had two good months and has been terrible at the plate otherwise.

[brb321]

What a fantastic day for baseball.

 

Jays playoffs followed by Price vs Kluber, Kershaw vs Scherzer, and Lester vs Cueto. Epic.

 

The last 3 games will feel better with another Jays win this afternoon...

[Dr. Dinger]

It's a bit curious that the Rangers have been platooning Mazara for the last few months, then in the playoffs they bench him against a righty and start him against Happ.

[RealAccountant]

Do you guys remember all the playoffs we used to watch without the Jays. I remember I used to Watch and hope the Twins would beat the Yankees a few years back, The Astros when they had Oswalt and Clemens, the Tigers runs a few years back.

 

 

I never imagined we would ever be a part of it again. It feels so different from the inside.

Where do you work that you are allowed to do this? I have to put Gameday on my secondary monitor and even that would probably get some frowns if exposed to the wrong people.

[RealAccountant]

I am starting to get nervous now. We have never done well against Darvish,

 

If he does well here we are likely to see him in Game 5. Think Hamels is done for the series.

PM if you really want to know. Aha i don't want to post it on the main forum. But yeah, big events like Olympics, World Cup, Jays Playoffs ect they always show the gamess all through out the office. I guess they don't want everyone calling in sick.

[Dr. Dinger]

Travis scratched; Zeke to lead off.

[Effit]

Hey Blue Jays, I don't wanna come back down from this cloud. Let's pick up where we left off yesterday. Go Jays.

[HERPDERP]

Right knee irritation? What the hell did he do to get that?

 

Travis is quickly developing the injury prone moniker

[baconpancakes]

Travis scratched; Zeke to lead off.

 

and Barney ninth.

[fatcowxlive]

Travis scratched; Zeke to lead off.

 

Honestly we really don't have any more realistic options. No way we see Bautista lead off with the way he's been swinging

[TBJ12]

Anyone know where I can find an audio only stream? I'm not looking to purchase MLB.tv for a single afternoon game.

[Sammy225]

Just got to hope Zeke does not slow down yet.

[Omar]

Travis scratched; Zeke to lead off.

 

Travis is turning into Mr Glass.......this china doll really starting to piss me off.

[Dr. Dinger]

No way we see Bautista lead off with the way he's been swinging

 

Yeah, why would we want to give our hottest hitter the most plate appearances? That wouldn't make any sense at all.

[BigBulgeBlueBird]

Travis is a big loss despite his recent struggles, although Barney does seem to step up well when we need him.

 

Hoping the bats don't get stifled by Darvish, make him work at the very least.

[43211234]

Blame Kevin Gray if the Blue Jays lose this one.

[HERPDERP]

Blame Kevin Gray if the Blue Jays lose this one.

 

thats a familiar name again. what did he do again? Was he the one that said the Jays signed Darvish?

[43211234]

Yeah. Well, he said they won the bidding.

[flafson]

No Travis?!?!?!!? Common...

I don't think the Jays lose much at all in the short term but the bench options are non existent after Barney. You're looking at scenarios like Martin to 2B or Bautista to 3B.

[Jonn]

Zeke back in the leadoff spot... smh. Just move everyone up a spot

[RealAccountant]

Barney will have to do

 

I mean all he has is a gold glove at 2nd

[Daniel Labude]

Right knee irritation? What the hell did he do to get that?

Lol, with the 1 win in the books it's best to rest him and let Barney play. Make sure he is healthy going forward.

[Pendleton]

Tulo desperately needs to be flipped with Martin

 

Meh after a 10 run performance there shouldn't be any desperation to make changes.

[Jonn]

Raining in Texas lol. Donaldson really did a number on them.
