Why not Barnes?

 

He hasn't been down 10 days yet - maybe Osuna's administrative leave doesn't count as being on a restricted list so can't bypass the 10 day rule?

[Jonn]

I don't mind getting an extended look at LGJ at SS.

[Orgfiller]

The M's have a pretty good lineup (cue Grant jokes), good test for Stroman to get his season back on track.

Yeah, of course it does. Petricka was just optioned.

[Jonn]

Barnes not being called up is extremely weird. The 10-day rule already gets negated with DL trips. And Petricka was optioned after him.

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah, of course it does. Petricka was just optioned.

 

Man it's hard to keep track of the roster moves recently! In that case no idea why Barnes didn't get the call.

He hasn't even pitched yet, weird indeed.

It's stupid if nothing's wrong with him. The guy's a fireman for this squad. Also, make the GDT... start the streak.

[AledmysDiaz]

Jay's must already be leading the league in Roster moves

Will do.

[jaysguy44]

Do we know who's going to be our closer now that Osuna is gone for a while?

[Terminator]

Gibby didn't commit to any one guy.

[jaysguy44]

Gibby didn't commit to any one guy.

 

Predictions? I'm thinking Clippard

[Terminator]

Clippard, Oh or Tepera will get looks IMO. Whoever looks the best from there.

[Krylian]

Who's the last Jays pitcher (Major League or minor leaguer of relevance) to have TJ?

[Mohammed]

Osuna arrest for assault against a woman.... team goes out and gets no hit... #teamresilience

[P2F]

Posting this here for others to see.

 

So, uh, yeah...

 

 

 

 

What f***ery.

[Orgfiller]

Today was just the icing on the cake. We were drilling balls and you just knew there would be a Mariners player on the receiving end.

Well if you ask me the batting coach should be telling them where to hit the balls. They should aim for the wholes, and hit the ball between the fielders.

[GodDonaldson]

Drew Hutchison??

[GodDonaldson]

Predictions? I'm thinking Clippard

 

Clippard walks a lot of batters compared to Oh. Even though he has lower ERA than Oh.

[Krylian]

Drew Hutchison??

 

Sounds about right. It does feel like it's been an awful long time and we've been very fortunate in that regard.

Blue jays picked up Gio Urshela for cash/player to be named from Cleveland.

 

Edit: this might end those bring up vladd dreams for a bit.

Gio Urshela has no bearing on a Vlad Jr. decision.

Yeah a minor league journeyman will really impact when Shatkins being up the best prospect in baseball.

Try reading that post outloud in a sarcastic tone... things would have to get pretty f***ing bad for Urshela to see any big league playing time this season.

[G-Snarls]

The starting staff has been so s*** it's unbelievable

 

I need to look up the numbers and post them

[Todd]

This blue jays team needs to fix it's starting rotation.Starting with Marcus Stroman going back to the minors to find his pitches. Like Halladay did. Send some players to the minors like Devon Travis or release some.

Some of the jays prospects have no busy being with the team. Ones who are hitting like 150 in the minors and are hitting 150 with

the team. And looks like Justin Smoak was a one year wonder. So far Randal Grichuk has been a major disappointment. But new league different type of pitchers. more junk

[G-Snarls]

So far this season

 

Pitcher - ERA - FIP

 

Stroman - 7.71 - 4.64

Sanchez - 4.14 - 4.79

Estrada - 5.21 - 5.82

Garcia - 5.40 - 5.94

Happ - 4.80 - 4.34

Might as well add Biagini - 8.10 - 5.97

 

This was supposed to be this team's strength. Instead the offense and the bullpen is the only reason the team has been able to hover around. 500

 

Cant afford keep this up

Happ's updated FIP is 4.34. Edited May 11, 2018 by G-Snarls
