G-Snarls

I like the new delivery Simple and repeatable He looked great today

7 very solid innings Awesome Stroman

Nice pitch to Rajai too but he got the bat on it

Beautiful putaway pitch from Stroman

TY Upton Jr

I'm guessing they were going to skip a start anyway to keep his innings down. He can skip a start in Florida instead.of here so that they can add a bullpen arm during that time. I guess that makes sense given the overall plan

This feels weird somehow

Jeez, we haven't played the Red Sox in 2 and a 1/2 months Schedule is weird this year

Jays 7-6 vs Red Sox this year Couldn't be closer

EE 1B JB DH OF of Saunders, Pillar, platoon of Uptonn/Carerra Smoak bench How soon can we do this?

We all do that And he usually closes the door

First game in a while I didn't watch or even follow So Liriano had a good start and they still lost? That sucks

Feels so long between games

Tigers vs Buccholz tomorrow YES

First 17 game winnah

For the record, I like this They were both worked up and blew off some steam and both are professional enough that I can't imagine there being any long term consequences to the confrontation The only people who need to know what was said are those on the team. I like the humorous deflection to the keep the media away from it. It's none of their business and it doesn't do any good to have the story carry on and be a distraction. Next game.... NEXT GAME

MLB.com story for those who haven't heard the interviews: After the game, both Donaldson and his manager had a lot of fun with the media about what their discussion was about. Regardless of the specifics, it's pretty evident that there's no hard feelings between the pair and that cooler heads have prevailed. "I was coming back to the dugout and hit my bat against the thing," Donaldson said. "Gibby asked me what kind of cologne I was wearing. I said, 'It's this new cologne called Tom Ford, I just got it.' He got pretty close to me and got a good whiff of it, and I was like, 'Hey man, back up.' I was like, 'I'll give you some after the game.'" What about Tulowitzki stepping in between the two? "I think he liked [the cologne] too," Donaldson said. Gibbons' version of events was different, but also filled with plenty of humor. "I told him after the first at-bat, 'Get a new bat, that one ain't working,'" Gibbons said. "He took the same one up there the second time, that didn't work. He chose to break it, so I went down and told him, 'You should have listened to me.'" After his last at-bat in the 6th inning, Josh Donaldson heads to the clubhouse with a apparent injury As for the thumb, Donaldson missed one game earlier this season because of the same issue, but he aggravated the area after grounding out in the sixth inning. He was removed from the game for precautionary reasons, but he remains optimistic about the possibility of playing Friday in Cleveland. "Just jammed my thumb pretty good," Donaldson said. "It's obviously not the first time it has happened this year, but it got me pretty good so I didn't want to do any further damage -- going back out there again and possibly getting jammed a second or third time and having to maybe miss more time than I need to."

He has also averaged a better UZR-150 than Smoak over the past few years.

Good point. How do teams see him? I agree he's a decent first baseman. That helps his case. There's a reason guys like Fielder and Pujols tend to move to the AL. The DH spot serves as a soft landing place. Though they were both good defenders too at the time. Especially Pujols. But they weren't likwlt to get those super long deals without the DH badkup spot. It can be ugly when guys have to play over their heads in the field. Like the last year Miggy had to play 3B. Or Trumbo in the OF. What Edwin gets depends very much on what team has money and a need and if they have an.open DH spot or not.

Yes

Ah s***

Personal catcher Black hole at the plate Peacekeeper. He is invaluable
