GDT: Jays @ A's Game 2 of 3

[Jonn]

Honestly the more this season plays out it looks like fixing both the rotation and bullpen without training major prospect capital seems impossible. They might be better off selling off some assets and retooling for next year.

 

Getting a third wild card spot just isn’t remotely appealing.

[Krylian]

We are outhitting them. Unlucky to be behind.

 

But Kikuchi isn't unlucky. He's just s***.

[John_Havok]

Does Espinal have some kind of “please f*** me over Ump” sign on him?

A walk is just as good as a base-hit

Cue the 'just get to the dance... Anything can happen' crowd.

I was kidding guys. We should be like 8 down lol.

[Jaysareus]

Agree too much to fix to be a go for it year. That and it being the Yankees year

[5ToolPhenom]

Need a shutdown inning here

You have to try to get in if you can, what’s the point otherwise?

 

Maybe we could sell and buy strategically.

[Jays333]

Welcome. Is that why all the 3s in your name?

Nah thats just my go to. I have been here before and got banned cause my first post I said Stroman should be traded. A mod with a deadpool avatar called me a dummy and banned me. 1 year later Stroman got traded. That mod still here?

[John_Havok]

Shut up john

 

Fight me ya gimp

[5ToolPhenom]

lol I can't tell around this place sometimes:o

I think we’re getting swept by the Yankees either way lol. I just don’t think this team is one or two pieces away. It feels closer to 5 or 6.

[Omar]

Deadpool? Nah, never heard of him.

[gruber92]

Kicuchi has to be one of the worst signings ever

 

Ross the philanthropist strikes again

Well, to be fair, the first half of the 2015 season looked pretty similar. Some big moves could potentially make all the difference.

[Dagagad]

I’m unashamedly part of the ‘just get to the dance, anything can happen’ crowd. Come on in, the water is warm.

Stop peeing in the pool please.

I think it was some other dude that was ban happy.... Some name like oc2uici2 or some s***.

The point is I don’t think giving up prospects to fix this team is the right play. Sometimes taking a step back is needed before making a proper step forward. Brute forcing it at this point seems not ideal.

[Krylian]

The leader of the crowd

I don’t see how it gets better next year. This is our window right now.

[5ToolPhenom]

I hate to say it, but it would probably be better to let Thornton start in Kicuchi's place going forward. Yeah, he sucks. But he could probably be the kinda guy to go 5-6 innings while giving up 4 runs. It's not ideal, but if this offense could get going it should be enough to keep the team in games.

Ehhh, for better or worse, the window is now. Gotta try and make some noise while the core's all together.

[Jonn]

If this is a window it looks pretty foggy outside. It would hopefully improve in the off-season with trades and free agent additions. The time you can truly improve or change your team. Very difficult to do it right now.

[Solaxys]

Why is Moreno trying to swing his soul out of his body?

[5ToolPhenom]

Jeeze Moreno, that was 3 feet off the plate.

Dude, Kikuchi isn't even THAT bad, lol.

[Effit]

That pitch was halfway up the first base line
