Aaaand Bautista says something again that may bite his butt and embarrass him again

a soft tossing lefty with 11 major league innings and a guy who struck out less than 6 per 9 at AAA this year.....I like our chances too.

[jaysblue]

Glad to see we won.

 

Just started thinking and I think we have a good shot at winning the next 3 games.

 

Our pitching is in good shape. Cleveland will throw the rookie, Tomlin and then Klubot on short rest again.

 

Chances are the rookie may buckle, Tomlin we know what to expect now. Klubot on short rest may not be effective.

 

Just need the offense to produce.

 

Just need to focus on tomorrow. Looking ahead, the Jays could still take this series to a Game 7 though their lineup needs to produce and can't waste opportunities (which they did even today at times). The Jays need to score a bunch of runs early tomorrow in order to avoid facing Miller and Allen in the late innings. They have the right guy on the mound tomorrow in Estrada.

on the replay I saw that Edwin was chirping at Cleveland after his single. Comon brah

He was getting the Jays' dugout fired up you dumbass.

[AdamLindsMom]

Anyone booking hotels for Cleveland this weekend?

Try posting the link next time. Why would I watch the Spanish one?

 

Secondly, is he actually looking at their dugout or the crowd? Edwin isn't the kind of guy to start s*** with other teams.

That's down the 3rd base line not the 1st lol.

[thatoneguy]

That's down the 3rd base line not the 1st lol.

 

When he got to 2nd.

[THANOS]

When he got to 2nd.

 

He was yelling down the line to 1st, but it could have been to the crowd. That said it's not easy to tell.

[CBlake]

Look at this bonehead from Monday night a section over from my mother and I. Was ok being draped in the American flag. But the head dress, WTF in this day and age.

Kluber will definitely start game 7. That's why he only threw like 70 pitches today.

[Jonn]

Kluber will definitely start game 7. That's why he only threw like 70 pitches today.

 

He actually threw 89 pitches. But yes he will start Game 7 if it exists.

[HERPDERP]

here is the scouting report for today's pitcher. Sounds like a carbon copy of Tomlin

__

 

Merritt has flown well under the radar since getting $150,000 in the 16th round out of a Texas JC in 2011. He sits 88-91 mph with excellent fastball command, and above average changeup and a slurve that’s often average. Merritt is a command lefty that’ll be 23 in Double-A this year and got added to the 40-man. The numbers don’t stand out, but he’s the low-walk rate, pitch to contact, ground ball type that will put up similar numbers at every level and sneak up on people. He isn’t huge at 6’0/170, but the org thinks they have something here.

This could have been a tied series had Gibby lifted Stroman. Hayhurst pointed out this morning and it's hard to look away from that without pain

It kills me that it's 3-1 instead of 2-2 right now.

 

We'd soooo have the upper hand from here on out of the series was tied

[G-Snarls]

Oh well. All the more epic if they somehow manage to pull it off

[ValiantJaysFan]

I wake up and check the sports in the morning and lo and behold, there's Bautista flapping his f***in' gums again in the media. He says Merritt will be "shaking in his boots" today. What a complete jackass. Guaranteed this kid is going to shut us down for 6 innings now.

 

I can't wait for Bautista to be gone...he's a sideshow.

[Angrioter]

Arturo J. Marcano

Edwin Encarnación told Roberto Osuna to use the little hesitation style once in a while to disrupt the hitters rhythm..

[Grant77]

Why does he have to f***ing do this? He's done f*** all this playoffs, you'd think some humble pie would be on the menu.

 

I can't think of a guy fewer fans would want their team to sign this off season. Guy's a running joke in RF and he's not even an elite bat anymore, so what's the appeal?

[burlingtonbandit]

Fans forget Jose Bautista is one of the greatest players in Blue Jays history. Says a couple comments and people can't wait to run him out of town.

 

Holy f*** relax.

Can you get off his dick already? He's always been an idiot, his performance just justified looking past it. Now it doesn't and he's just a jackass.

I can recognize what he's done while also recognizing what he's likely to do going forward and also recognizing that he needs to shut his f***ing mouth sometimes. He's ready to be run out of town because he's no longer a very good player.

Agreed. Bautista is annoying but he's provided so many amazing memories over the years. He doesn't deserve to get trashed the way he does. He's a proud guy who cares about winning.

I agree with you, I think his comments are embarrassing, but he can't do no wrong in my eyes. The sole reason to watch the Jays from 2010-2014

I wouldn't say he's done "f*** all" exactly, he's got 2 big home runs and is our franchise playoff HR leader.

[burlingtonbandit]

He's still a damn good player, obviously no where near where he was a few years ago but he's still a 130wRC+ bat which is pretty f***ing good. He's always been an upfront and honest guy. I hate when people criticize players for giving an honest answer to the media because these are the same people who say their needs more "emotion" in the game blah blah blah.

Some really good seats today:
