The team name Blue Jays is so weak. It is embarrassing following a team with a name that to me, is about as fierce as a hummingbird. Might as well just call them the Toronto Hummingbirds.

 

I cringe every time I hear the name Blue Jays, it makes it even tougher that this is the team that I follow on a daily basis.

The worse thing about being a Blue Jays fan is having to deal with obnoxious Torontonians. However, there is some solace in watching them lose. in that the obnoxious Torontonians will be upset. There is a good reason why so many Canadians across Canada can't stand Torontonians.

 

My prediction for tonight's game is that Lariano will walk 5 in 5 innings, will be wild from the 1st inning and will give up 4 runs (or more) by the 5th inning. He likely won't make it past the 5th inning.

 

Well outside Toronto. I lived in Hamilton for several years and the people are completely different - likable and humble. Torontonians suck. That is why I wish the Montreal Expos would come back - I am a very reluctant Blue Jays fan. However, it is so much fun watching the Maple Leafs lose year after year.

 

Making up your own words now. Time to put your big boy pants on.

 

Blue Jays lineup looks absolutely weak compared to the Yankees lineup.

 

Toronto Raptors, Argonauts and Maple leafs are a joke.

1 day shipping doesn't exist in any other province?! Really? How do they sell Prime to anyone out there?

 

I use it for streaming as I make enough money the cost isn't an issue and 2 day shipping, this being in Ottawa.

Ditto for the Falls

 

Would be interested in knowing what the deal is for a backwater like SK

Big game today, chance to get back to .500, show the Yankees that the AL East isn't over yet, and for Biagini to continue to cement his place in the 2018 rotation.

X-rays on Travis came back negative.

 

That's a big break (pun intended) for the Jays:

Pompey was removed from his first rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday after suffering an apparent leg injury, Amy Moritz of The Buffalo News reports.

 

Rehabbing from a concussion suffered in the World Baseball Classic, Sunday's event may cause a setback in his rehab timeline. Buffalo manager Bobby Meacham thought something was wrong when he saw Pompey "flexing his knee" after an awkward strikeout in the second inning. "We had to take him out. I'm not sure exactly, but he felt something with his leg," Meacham said. Pompey was not available to speak to the media after the game.

Next season, sure why not let him try

 

After this year he'd be 4 seasons removed from being a starter, and wasn't even particularly good at it in the minors.

 

Biagini on the other hand was still a starter when the Jays took him in the rule 5 draft, was trending upwards a starter at AA, and was only used as a pen arm to satisfy his rule 5 requirements. He very likely would have been starting last year at some point had the health of the Jays rotation not been so freakishly good.

Im not saying Tepera would be good or anything but hell give him some extended appearances in Spring Training if we wants. What is there to lose

Among qualified Pitchers Biagini has allowed the 3rd least amount of hard contact. Its funny because his statline looks a lot like Stroman's (Same K, BB and GB numbers) yet they couldn't be anymore different in terms of appearance.

If Martin can't start tonight they may as well place him on the DL retroactive to the last time he played. We are going to need to pinch hit for Maile this road trip and having 1 available catcher really sucks.

We're really asking a lot out of Maile (although he's replacement level so mostly who cares). He's caught like 4 or 5 games in a row, the dude needs a break.

Sometimes it worth it, sometimes it isn't. In Tepera's case, it's not really worth it. If he happens to be available to spot start in extreme situations, like... if half the starting staff gets cholera... fine.

Biagini will def be in next year's rotation as long as he's healthy. If they lose both Estrada and Liriano, then they'll need bodies to fill that one spot plus act as depth. Wouldn't shock me if Tepera is stretched out. Whether he's good or not is another story.
