GDT: Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays Game 2 of 3. Vlad's first HR day

[bones10]

Was he supposed to be happy down 4-0? The guy's a gamer, man.

 

nah thats fine but just seemed childish with stroman. I dont know how I feel yet.

[gruber92]

You agree with that abomination of a post? He didn't say any of what you just posted by the way?

 

WTF are you talking about now? What the hell do you contribute to the board by the way?

[Spanky99]

I agree. Although i'm not crazy about his antics, the Jays don't have anybody outside of Nate Pearson knocking down the door in the minors. We're going to have to roster a starting pitching staff and Stroman will not be a bad part of it, if the price is right.

 

That's the thing, no-one knows what that price is but Stroman and Ross.

Well, the word is that they'll move Stroman if the price is right while Stro's made it abundantly clear that he'd like to stay. They're gonna need some proven veteran talent while the young kids make the transition to the team, what better signing than a homegrown player who feels a strong tie to the team? Especially considering that there isn't many obvious starting pitching solutions in the pipeline.

lol... coming from you, really?

The word is Kenny Ken Bowtie speculated on MLB Network they were available, and back-tracked on PTS the other day talking to Bobcat, no-one knows.

[5ToolPhenom]

I mostly agree, but sitting slouched on the bench staring at his shoes was a bad look.

 

Ehh, he was pissed and he was showing it. Despite the outcome, to think that Derek Law would be the better option as opposed to letting Marcus try and retire the next 2 batters is pretty clueless. You gotta give your ace the benefit of the doubt and he was at 97 f***ing pitches for crying out loud. It's not like he was sitting at 115 pitches or something.

[Orgfiller]

McKinney is a f***ing tire fire in the outfield. I swear he didn't look nearly this poor last year.

[JFD]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Turrible route... tough play, but...

[gruber92]

Lets hope Jim requests a one month ban on Boxy after this loss.

[Daniel Labude]

McKinney closed the glove too soon lmao. You can't make this circus stuff up

[5ToolPhenom]

And now Low is getting predictably hammered. There's gotta be a better option than him in a close game in the 8th inning.

 

I guess Montoyo doesn't have much to work with, but still.

[Jaysareus]

Wow McKinney can't hit or field

[Daniel Labude]

McKinney is a f***ing tire fire in the outfield. I swear he didn't look nearly this poor last year.

 

I think Teosacar and McKinney cant play RF well...but 1 of them has to and Teoscar should never be the one to do it so its put on McKinney

[Spanky99]

Egad.

[gruber92]

Smoak you have to dive for that ball man.

[sdyment]

Oh, give me a break. You think if that was Scherzer out there with 95 pitches in the 7th and wanting to finish the inning that some first time, new manager would give him the hook? And it's not like the Jays have some lights out option in the pen to put in. Stroman had every right to be pissed.

 

I don't know what it is with this forum, but there's a lot of people who are weird about Stro. The guy's the best player on the team but so many people seem kinda down on him... I don't get it.

 

Stroman is entitled to be as angry as he wants. No question. Dressing down your manager and pitching coach in the dugout and cameras is in no way acceptable. Stroman always puts Stroman first.

[Omar]

When I see Jave Guerra on the mound I realize my time could be better spent elsewhere.

[Daniel Labude]

Smoak you have to dive for that ball man.

 

Gotta stay healthy to get traded in July lmao

[Spanky99]

And now Low is getting predictably hammered. There's gotta be a better option than him in a close game in the 8th inning.

 

I guess Montoyo doesn't have much to work with, but still.

 

Yeah, he used them all yesterday, should've just left Stro in, and used these guy's in a fresh inning.

[gruber92]

I think Teosacar and McKinney cant play RF well...but 1 of them has to and Teoscar should never be the one to do it so its put on McKinney

 

Grichuk is the best defensive RF option. Atkins needs to find someone who can play a respectful CF who isn't a complete wreck at the plate. Maybe Jonathan Davis could be that player, for a while anyways.

Patrick Murphy, man

Davis, Alford, and Pompey all should be given a chance this year when wins don’t really matter.

[Daniel Labude]

At this moment...we have 6 official errors on the week and 6 runs...smh

Alford and Pompey are not even close to be considered options.

[Spanky99]

s*** happens, s***** game, s***** team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Spanky99]

Patrick Murphy, man

 

And some.

[Spanky99]

Good day, VGJ!!!
