GDT Happy 150th GO JAYS GO

[Yippy]

Sale is looking great as usual today

[wk680]

Tulo had no chance

 

Yeah totally overmatched. A few years ago that would have been a must see at bat, but now it's just a sad spectacle.

[Yippy]

If tulo announced his retirement he would be doing the jays a big favour

While throwing over $50M away in the process. Lol, not happening.

[Effit]

John Farrell will be back tomorrow to manage the Blue Jays.

[West Texas Forever]

Lol Jose.

[gruber92]

LOL Bautista

[West Texas Forever]

I wish the Blue Jays knew how to get base hits with RISP.

[BlueJays]

lol. They need to trade Bautista and all of these old guys. Cancer

[Effit]

Happy Canada Day!

[gruber92]

The Red Sox can hit.

[West Texas Forever]

Ump did squeeze the Jays there, should have been a strike out and the end of the inning.

[jays4life19]

Fun game. Would not watch again.

[wk680]

This seems very much possible. Probably 10-15 games below at the trade deadline....fire sale, bring up some youth and see the pitching (Stroman, Sanchez, and what ever is left) take off and carry us to around 5 games below at the end

 

The question is who goes in a fire sale. The obvious top candidates would have been Estrada and Liriano, but both are pitching poorly, so may not be anyone even interested in acquiring them. Bautista has been doing OK, but he also has trade veto with 5/10 rights. Joe Smith would have been another top trade candidate, but now with the shoulder issues that's less likely. Will they find a buyer for Donaldson who is willing to give up what the Jays feel they need to pull the trigger. Not if he keeps playing the way he has lately.

Jays batters on the on deck circle when Sale is pitching....

 

[West Texas Forever]

Way to take one for the team Pearce.

[TorontonianJD]

Is Donaldson injured and that's why he's DHing?

 

Estrada and Liriano not going to get much back in trades right now.

 

Osuna maybe?

 

Donaldson sucking right now. Assuming there's something wrong with him. Tulo's decline is depressing me.

Or any pitcher, for that matter. Jimenez had them shaking in their spikes.

If they did sell, Happ and Pearce might have alright value and they don't have long term contracts.

Those are big question marks...the pitching will be sold but the price will vary depending on their play. Teams will want Happ, Estrada, and maybe Liriano (especially the NL). Donaldson probably stays until the offseason unless someone is desperate.

Had knee swelling that needed some rest but hasn't been able to get it

[TorontonianJD]

What would Morales get back in a trade?

 

Smoak?

 

I was at the game Thurs night in great seats close to dugout. There is a general lethargic malaise to this team. It's weird.

The Yankees would be a nice fit for JD.

[thatoneguy]

Like playing a AAA team.

[gruber92]

KKKKK

 

After two innings..

[wk680]

How many K's for Sale today?

 

I say 13.

 

5 Ks through 2 innings. Could he get to 21 today?

[Yippy]

Try a bunt for a base hit. Come on Gibbons use some creativity.

[bones10]

How long are we going to be bad for? 5 years min?
