True, he did his job but that job seems to be lacking with the Jays. Not trying to support the broadcasters here but they could have also said it was a bad play on the Jays side as well. For all we know they could be handcuffed with any negative comments towards the Jays and as such need to say something about the play. Either way, hearing it just grates on the nerves a bit especially when it's so obvious the Jays committed a really bad error there.

Seems like a lot of the call ups have these problems so maybe the problem stems from a lack of instilling the fundamentals in the lower levels.

I agree with your point of view on this.

Temper tantrums are normally associated with kids displaying certain types of behaviour such as whining/crying/hitting etc however it literally refers to unpleasant and disruptive behaviors or emotional outbursts. What he did was unpleasant, disrespectful and as such becomes disruptive in nature especially after a manager's decision. I feel badly for him however he is only one piece to be used by the manager who is looking to secure a win. It's alright to feel frustrated but never show it in a disruptive or disrespectful way. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them,

Don't take on any negative comments abut the GDT. You don't have to reinvent the wheel especially since it seems the majority like this particular format. Fatcowxlive is not being paid to make the thread for 162 game so he did what he needed to do yesterday. The thread was being missed so you stepped up and filled in admirably. Nice job, the effort is appreciated.

Am I really an hour behind? I may not be as fast as some on here but it could be cuz I am doing other stuff while watching the game and reading the GDT. I usually start with the 1st post and read all posts (except for those on the ignore list). Also, tonight I did not see this GDT till late so reading thru all the post had me behind. But don't worry, I promise I will put in a lot more practice time so that my performance improves.

ftfy.

The game was a comedy of errors but the Jays got the last laugh so all is well for the time being. Good effort and the "never give up" attitude pays off. Looking forward to tomorrow's game already.

You seem to be carrying on a vendetta with Navarro, what's up with that? He is doing relatively good yet you are finding fault when there are others you could be ridiculing instead.

The throws are not perfect but Encarnacion should still be able too pick those balls - something is just not right with Encarnacion "D" tonight.

Really? Did he instruct Cabrera to screw things up? Did he also tell Reyes to make another error on the night? The Jays could have been out of that inning with the lead intact however bad plays on the filed caused the melt-down.

True, the throw should not have been bounced in the first place but that error was all on Encarnacion. It went in the glove and bounced back out.

This may be so but in this particular case it would have been nearly impossible to do since it looked like he changed his mind about swinging at the very last moment hence the reason for the ump originally calling it a strike. How is it possible for anyone to switch from moving forward to turning backwards in a fraction of a second. That ball appeared to have a lot of inward movement.

It would be nice to see these two on the Jays performing well over the next few years however as you and others in then past have pointed out, they are getting older. Just think how much of a return you can net for the two of them now or in the off-season. There are others on the team as well who can bring back additional decent pieces if they are inclined to go that route. I would not like to think of those two,Bautista-Edwin, on any opposing team playing against us however what they can bring back into the Jays system now should help ease the pain quite considerably.

I share the same view as well and there are a few on here who do so as well. It really makes no sense to get too worked up over the performance/non-performance of highly paid individuals or even management - The outcome of the game does not affect my finances nor my sanity. I have not yet reached the point whereby I will switch off the game, nor not attend a game, based on the game results. If that point ever arrives then so be it, I will just switch to something which provides more entertainment. The majority of teams are looking for the same thing, starters, which means the cost, most probably, is going to be quite high. In my opinion, the Jays are ill-equipped to lose more of their farm at the moment. It is all well and good to keep lamenting on the notion that all of this should have been addressed over the off-season but that's just beating a dead horse - this topic has been beaten to death and does not need to be rehashed at every opportunity. The mistake was made so it is time to move on from there and look for a solution which does not mean giving away every prospect at the moment just for an outside chance of getting into the WS. I know that's the ultimate goal however if you don't keep something for the future most fans will see through that ill-conceived plan and leave the party as soon as the celebrations have concluded anyway. It's really not as simple as outspending (money/resources) your rivals.

This is the killer. Singularly, the team should still be able to keep its head above water however all these injuries (including Morrow and Cecil) at the same time does not bode well for the team.

It was the other hand if I am not mistaken.

I hope he doesn't use his FB cuz I am sure that will get lost in the stands. The high strike zone should work well for Dickey - he has it tough when it is is small zone. He hasn't done baldy thru the 1st - that Encarnacion error really hurt.

Lind looks as if he is not 100% recovered however hopefully just getting his bat back into the lineup is a benefit. With the way the pitching is going this team needs all the offense they can muster up.

He seems to be a mental case and is just looking for some form of human contact so even if he is being abused it is better than being ignored so he will just continue. Just from the contents of his post it is easy to see it's all about looking for attention. Simply trolling.

Already on ignore list but still see the nonsense when he is quoted. Wish there was a fix for that.

Really what? One of the oldest? Can't say for sure but it wouldn't surprise me. The other part is not true cuz I don't usually drink - maybe 3 drinks a year. It doesn't do anything think for me and I also prefer to be aware of what's happening around me.

Most probably true, but that only happens if I drink too much and sneeze at the same time.
