Rather watch some MILB players get a shot then this ugliness

 

Completely agree. Dermody and Bolsinger are awful.

Jays don't have any pitching prospects that are close to ready. LTBF was referring to position players i believe

[Boxcar]

No team has come close to the Big Red Machine IMO

 

Factually incorrect. The 1927-1931 Yankees were better and a bunch of other teams are pretty close including the 2003 Red Sox.

Big Red Machine played in a low run scoring era. When compared with peers, they are best according to this analysis.....

Yes for the most part

Sportsnet server was down so I missed most of the carnage.....thankfully.

[Dick_Pole]

Let's not forget that some people wanted the Jays to dump Estrada for some d-rate prospect with a 0.01% chance of ever contributing to this club years down the road so we could have Valdez and the guy directly below him in the depth chart pitching 40% of the games. 60% if Sanchez's blisters costs him the rest of 2017.

[P2F]

I stopped watching when it was 12-2, and I'm just going to keep it that way so the Jays come all the way back.

The key word was I have ever seen, lol so like 03/04 onwards

I realize that, young grasshopper

[baubau]

Aoki looks so disappointed when the camera zoomed in. lol.

 

"I got traded to this? .. f***!"

 

But no really, Jays suck pretty bad tonight.

[Yippy]

16-7 not bad . Jays were right in it most oF the way

[Omar]

[Yippy]

A special thanks to AA for leaving us with this mess

[Jimcanuck]

some thought we should trade for a 2B and a few other pieces and make a run.... this s*** can't be fixed that easy, folks

[M.E.]

I would like to think that a healthy Sanchez and Travis would have us plus 5-7 wins right now. Probably not, but hope springs eternal.

Sanchez and Travis combined WAR last season = 6.4

 

Combined WAR this season = 0.7

Had guests over so didn't watch the game, but how the hell did Jays pitchers manage to walk Gurriel twice? Were they drunk??

Um, yeah...drunk...let's go with that.

[Deadpool]

Well, that was fun until it wasn't.

Kinda like masturbation, just without the payoff
