G-Snarls

OMG that was hilarious WTF?!?!?!

Big Sierra K

LOL Best DFA ever

Sierra rocking the .190 BA and flailing wildly

He's a come a long way. So happy for him and us. Most wanted him gone at various points.

What a fine outfielder they have in right

Lind is so good when he's not trying to do too much

Nicely done LOL

Assistant GM angrioter called their front office and Joe Mauer or something.

Back then Ju1ced actually followed baseball Now he doesn't know that Robinson Cano plays for the Mariners (Good natured jab)

I'm glad we kept Stroman Yes Sanchez MIGHT turn out to be really good. Or he might turn in to Kyle Drabek. I would rather trade Sanchez in a package for a (more) sure thing at this point. The rotation could use help.

Same I just hope Colby plays well enough to warrant a QO. For two reasons. 1. To help in playoff race 2. So we get something in return for him when he (presumably) is let go

We certainly should trade him based on his "stuff" before he ever gets a chance to face major.league hitters and possibly trash his trade value. Dumb GM's who just want any guy with 98 mph heat please line up over here. Alex will have a word with you shortly.

Yeah Loup's stuff plays really well against RH hitters too

How long is Cecil out for?? DFA Rasmussen and sign Downs if can work

Yep. really want to win the first 2. Sale will be tough. Having Bautista back for that game (even as DH) would help a lot.

Hoping the bats wake up even more vs the White Sox We get Sale (vs Stroman!) for game 3 but the first 2 games could be slugfests. And their bullpen should be exploitable.

It's...... draft night! http://lostquarters.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Ham-Nite.jpg

Stupid White Sox blow pen Have surrendered two walk off wins against Orioles in 3 games. Last night the winning run scored on a wild pitch in the 12th f*** off You will be punished for this by Edwin E and Adam Lind Mandatory sweep this weekend. Beat the crap out if them.

Pillar demoted a day after he tosses bat down dugout steps after being replaced GREGORY STRONG / THE CANADIAN PRESS JUNE 25, 2014 03:43 PM TORONTO - Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar was sent down to triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, a day after tossing his bat down the dugout stairs after being replaced during a game against the New York Yankees. In Tuesday's 7-6 win over New York, Pillar was scheduled to bat in the eighth inning with the game tied and the bases loaded. He walked to the batter's box area as the Yankee infielders gathered on the mound with reliever Dellin Betances for a coaching visit. However, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons decided that Anthony Gose would enter the game as a pinch-hitter and Pillar had to return to the dugout. Once there, Pillar briefly chatted with Gibbons before walking to the other end of the dugout and casually tossing his bat down the steps. It wasn't an overly aggressive display, but it was rather unexpected. Gibbons was asked whether it was a factor in his demotion. "It didn't help him at all," he said. "This is a team game. There's no room for selfish play. But we've been thinking about (calling up Brad) Glenn for a while anyway." Glenn, who has split the season between the Jays' double-A and triple-A affiliates, arrived in time for Wednesday's series finale against the Yankees. He has a .381 average with four homers and 22 RBIs in 30 games this season for the Bisons. Pillar, who had just been recalled from Buffalo on Monday, was given a rare start in right field Tuesday with slugger Jose Bautista out of the lineup with a strained hamstring. Pillar went 0-for-3 on the night. In the first of his two pre-game media availabilities, Gibbons was asked about Pillar's reaction but kept his reply pithy. "He wasn't real happy, I know that," he said. Gose ended up grounding into a forceout for the second out in the eighth and Munenori Kawasaki struck out to end the inning. The Blue Jays went on to score a run in the ninth for the walkoff win. Pillar has played in 26 games for Toronto this year but his backup role has limited him to just 40 at-bats. He has driven in two runs and has a .225 average. Gose got the start in right field Wednesday night with Glenn available if needed off the bench. "We're looking for a little more sock from the right side," Gibbons said. "We've got three left-handed pitchers coming in from the (Chicago) White Sox (this week). Glenn's been on fire down (in Buffalo) as well so this is his opportunity." To make room on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays also designated infielder Jonathan Diaz for assignment before the game. - See more at: http://www.squamishchief.com/sports/national/pillar-demoted-a-day-after-he-tosses-bat-down-dugout-steps-after-being-replaced-1.1158356#sthash.f97X1BNY.dpuf

Toronto Blue Jays’ Kevin Pillar bounced back to Buffalo after dugout tantrum John Lott | June 25, 2014 | Last Updated: Jun 25 5:53 PM ET More from John Lott | @LottOnBaseball TV footage showed him returning to the other end of the dugout, where Gibbons spoke to him briefly. During that conversation, Pillar turned and tossed his batting gloves away. TORONTO – Kevin Pillar apparently hastened his departure from the Toronto Blue Jays by angrily throwing his bat into the tunnel leading to the clubhouse after he was pulled for a pinch-hitter Tuesday night. “It didn’t help him at all,” manager John Gibbons said after Pillar was optioned to Buffalo. “This is a team game, you know. There’s no room for selfish play.” Gibbons stopped short of citing Pillar’s behavior as the sole reason the Jays sent him back to Triple-A. In Pillar’s place, they called up Brad Glenn, a 27-year-old outfielder with no major-league experience who was batting .381 in 30 games for Buffalo. Pillar, a right-handed batter, was due up with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of a 6-6 tie with the New York Yankees. Gibbons sent up Anthony Gose, a speedy left-handed batter, to face right-handed reliever Dellin Betances.

What's Francisco's excuse?

Go Mariners go
