Yankees getting desperate. They're recalling Youk and Teixeira for the Red Sox series after each have had only 2 rehab games.
-
Speaking of the Cards, with Mujica unavailable (pitched 4 days in a row), they cough up the lead in the 9th. Now 4-2 KC and a rain delay.
-
He was also hitting .227 with 5 walks to 34 k's before today's game.
-
I'm not willing to rant about R.A. based on 2 months in which he's playing through an injury.
-
Gattis smoked it to lead the inning off, but McCann took advantage of no one on the left side (which I hate), and Pena's hit should probably have been snared by both EE and Boni, and neither came up with it. 3 runs is still 3 runs though.
-
I hate that full blown shift. Put 3 over on one side, but leave the shortstop in position so hitters aren't tempted to do with McCann just did.
-
Maybe we need to stop doubting Gibbons crazy lineups... Oh, and Dickey should be pinch hitting for the next week as an extra bench guy
-
... and the Braves defense still sucks
-
Ideally might be Bautista to third, and either Lind or EE to LF. I'm assuming that since we haven't been doing that Bautista's back is too sore to do it outside of an emergency.
-
Pretty sure Thole has a major league contract, so we're paying him the same either way (someone may wish to correct me on that). Completely agree that we need to get him up here.
-
Not to pick on this post in particular, but for everyone hating on Dickey, did you know that he's tied for 11th in the AL in quality starts this year? That's the same number as guys like Verlander, Moore, Darvish, etc. Now I'm not saying he's been great, because he hasn't, but it's something to chew on.
-
Tough play, but EE has to have that.
-
Dickey swinging the bat with a bad back scares me a little. Maybe we'll get lucky and Blanco will get on so he can bunt.
-
Great play by Boni! He's improving!
-
So the baseball gods want THIS kind of game tonight.
-
Looks like we definitely want to be looking opposite field.

Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread
Abomination replied to Dylan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Technically you said to state if the Braves would hit the first home run or not (which they didn't since no one did), but I don't think that's what the intent was. I have no issue with no one losing points on it. Those kind of bonus days would probably be better to do on days when the pitching matchup is a little more even, regardless of how things turned out yesterday. -
I believe it was a hip injury, so unless it's something likely to be chronic it shouldn't be too concerning. I'd probably be more worried if it was an arm.
-
Every time we crap on the lineup they seem to come up with a big game. This lineup should get a total blowout if that trend continues.

Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

I'll go with Melky -
Yeah, players have to give consent if it's before June 15th and they signed a free agent contract. I don't think MLB or the MLBPA would look on it too fondly unless Izzy really wanted out, so I'd be hesitant to potentially damage us further as a free agent landing spot for the sake of 2 weeks of Fransisco and no Izzy.
-
Yeah, you're right. So much for under slot, but it still could be worth punting the pick to next year if no one decent is available.
-
I'm okay with McGuire if Frazier and Meadows are both gone (unless something really good falls). I'd be okay with taking a shot on Manaea as well, especially if he'd sign below slot.
-
Izzy can't be traded until June 15th, barring a small loophole that the Jays may not wish to push.
-
Multiple roster moves today - Ortiz DFA, Weber to AAA
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It's really a good question. I guess overall it depends on our offense, which is humming along pretty good right now. In reality, we're probably talking about (essentially) throwing away 2 net ab's, albeit probably higher leverage ones. Is that worth more or less than a stronger pen? I don't know.
