General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

[Stangstag]

I think we definitely want twins by the way, Tampa has seen all of arms a lot in the last week. Diaz, Arozerna, Lowe and Ramirez are tough outs.

 

Yeah I don’t really like the idea of playing Tampa for a third series in a span of 2 weeks. At the Trop too.

[connorp]

This act is wearing thin. I admit I too was mildly amused at first. But now you're at the point of beating a dead horse.

 

Define dead horse. Dogg has beaten the proverbial dead horse for 20 years that I know of. Anyone’s commitment to a schtick pales in comparison

[Masterbather]

Tank for Twinkies?

 

I mean we're not going to give our best effort tomorrow in terms of lineup, but should we go out of our way to not make strategic decisions to try to win the game also?

You're right. Never underestimate another mans commitment to trolling.

Now that the Jays are in, yes, tank for the better position. The Astros can still win the West if they win tomorrow and the Rangers lose, so they should have something to play for. The Jays benefit by losing so put the shittiest lineup out there possible.

Prediction on the lineup.

 

Heineman, Espy, Eden, Schneider, Varsho, Biggio, Whit, Chappy, and Bichette DH.

[Omar]

Prediction on the lineup.

Heineman, Espy, Eden, Schneider all starting

 

Chapman should start. He still needs to work on his swing.

[John_Havok]

Yeah, I hit submit too soon. Basically all the fatties sit, Belt, plus George and KK.

This shouldn't be a question. It's a must lose tomorrow lol

Prediction on the lineup.

 

Heineman, Espy, Eden, Schneider, Varsho, Biggio, Whit, Chappy, and Bichette DH.

 

CA Heineman, 1B Biggio, 2B Schneider, SS Espinal, 3B Chapman, OF Merrifield, OF Varsho, OF Eden, DH whoever

 

How they get through 9 innings pitching wise is the question. They need to call up Francis or some other move. If only Manoah was available. When you need a loss, I can't think of a better SP to go to in 2023.

[Stangstag]

Lineup tomorrow:

 

LF-Merrifield

1B-Biggio

DH-Vlad

2B-Schneider

3B-Chapman

CF-Varsho

SS-Espinal

C-Heineman

RF-Eden

I figured Bo to DH because of him coming off injury most recently, just to get an extra 4 PAs.

[Governator]

Funny thing is, I can imagine TB might be throwing the game tomorrow as well so they can avoid Astros playing on the road. This could be interesting

[hanton]

Some players might not want the rest

[Ehjays]

CLINCHED!!

 

[Delgalladay]

I don’t care who we play. Anyone can beat anyone. They just need to show up. Plus I imagine the Rays were proud of themselves thinking they forced Gausman to pitch tomorrow so it’d be funny if he destroys them.

[G-Snarls]

Lineup tomorrow:

 

LF-Merrifield

1B-Biggio

DH-Vlad

2B-Schneider

3B-Chapman

CF-Varsho

SS-Espinal

C-Heineman

RF-Eden

 

Who pitches?

 

Francis?

[John_Havok]

Who pitches?

 

Francis?

 

Probably just a matter of who is available. Not Hicks, Yimi or Richards for certain given their recent workloads.

 

Pearson and Francis for sure. Cabrera, Green, Mayza and Swanson will be available. Romano would be available but I’m sure they’d rather like to avoid that.

[harvey16]

Jays can still win tomorrow and finish in the 3rd WC spot if the Astros win and the Rangers lose. Bottom line is the Astros need to win tomorrow for the Jays to have a chance to play the Twins. Astros lose and we play the Rays no matter what we do tomorrow.

[Terminator]

Call up Manoah and let him throw 9. We need to lose tomorrow because the Twins will be easy to beat.

[Governator]

Scenarios

 

[Jonn]

Scenarios

 

 

I want Minnesota so bad.

 

We have nothing to play for today. Both Texas and Houston are playing for the Division so I think they both go for the win.

Yeah it will be a big game for both of them since the division winner will get a bye to the ALDS. Not sure I'd rather play the Twins though. They've been on fire lately and have better starting pitching then the Rays.

[Governator]

Would you rather face a well rested Os team in a best of 5 or face them in the ALCS best of 7?

I think Stangstag has me on ignore. Can someone please remind him that he owes me $20 from our Mariners/Rangers bet. Never responded to my post yesterday.

Met someone at the senior center and is getting his noodle wet. Out of the basement. I feel like he’s abandoned the brotherhood come playoff time. Disappointed
