Going to splurge on premium diapers in celebration of nearly being in the playoffs

Well, he's looking like playoff Vladdy tonight.  

[glory]

Can JS avoid using Flu/Rogers/Varland tonight? Common sense says yes but who knows with him.

[Slade]

I still think you let Cease go 7 and then go to the pen.

Cease only at 74 pitches, still 2 more innings left in him easy, maybe 3

I'd use this to get him out early.  We're going to need to push him in other games this month...

[glory]

My guess is Cease goes 7 and then Little and Sewald to end it, but I’d definitely be tempted to pull Cease now given the score, I just don’t trust JS to not use a leverage RP for no reason.

He's out now so maybe Seawald for 2. 

[Jays24]

This is where you use the new guys who have 0 track record or just suck JS...

[Slade]

I don't agree with taking an extra at bat away from Vlad when he seems to be getting hot.

Maybe pulling him on a positive note is the thing here.  His issue is likely between his ears.

You know what maybe that is fair.

Hey Cleveland, if you dont like Blue Jays fans at your home games try buying some tickets and showing up.

[VladdyAlomar]

Boom

[Brownie19]

It would be amazing if Josh Smith returns to a 110 wRC+ utility infielder.  Offense certainly needs it.

[gruber9292]

Caleb Joseph just barely caught himself from an F bomb and his job, s***.. Lol

[SeranthonySantander]

We get santander back and all of a sudden we are the best team in the AL.  Maybe the Nl too 

[Masterbather]

For once I can watch Little pitch and not have my ass clenched.

[Spanky__99]

How 'bout dem Blue Jays... 

[Slade]

Even the ump is done with this one lol. 

[Brownie19]

Looks to me like Keys can hit off-speed pitches now!!! LOL

[Slade]

You just can't stop Schneider from Schneidering. Why do you have Braydon Fisher warming for the 9th?

[John_Havok]

Im so tired of watching position players lob pitches like losers.

Just end the game.

Yeah i think i posted this when it was only 6-0, after it got worse, sure get him out.

Bateman has definitely made some questionable swing decisions on his time up here. I hope he adjusts because pitchers will absolutely pick up on it and exploit it until he does

***edit***

Both his PAs tonight so far he had the count in his favour with ducks on the pond and swung at fastballs out of the zone for weak contact.

Bases loaded, 2-0 swings at a very borderline pitch down. Weak contact. Gotta take that even if it gets called a strike. 

2nd and 3rd, 3-1 count swings at a high fastball put of the zone. Weak contact. 

Young guy. Probably a bit amped up. Calm it down and wait for the pitch you can do some damage with, even if his best case damage is a double

I'm surprised Brownie19 didn't chastise you for this post.

Uses him tonight but yesterday when we were still close brang in that dfad bum. 

[Jays24]

Use Fisher in a 11-0 game but use the scrubs yesterday in a 1 run game yesterday...

Why would you risk any injury in  blowout to a key player? No-brainer of a move in a blowout to give someone else some time

Why would he? Everything i posted was logical and explained with reasoning. 

Its more the mindless and constant b*tching and moaning that gets called out
