Don't flame me, I have been out of the loop but why did BJs extend Grichuk? Where do we see him ending up once the Vlad Jr era begins? Over the last year and thus far, he hasn't exactly been remarkable. Also yikes on the 3Ks by Clev.

I didn't know where to ask this, and it sounds outlandish but its been a thoughtworm for a bit. Would there be any interest in signing Trout by the Jays in 2021 (I assume he will opt for FA if Angels don't show any sign of reaching post-season within the next year or so)? Reports say he'll be commanding a 400-500M/10y contract (I know the front-office is largely against long-term contracts). It'd technically line up with our post-season push.

The issue here is we are only seeing the end result (X for Y) and have absolutely no idea on what was on the plate for the Blue Jays to pick from. If we knew, and there was a prospect from another system or Yankees themselves who would have fit our repertoire better, then sure you can adamantly claim this was a worse (not bad) trade. But we don't, and suffice to say, we have to accept that what we got was the best we could for Happ. Maybe they could have been more creative, but time was running out and they needed to move him for something. We could have traded him at the start of the trade window when his value was the highest, and perhaps got a better return. But Shatkins took a gamble to increase his value over the next 2 or 3 starts, where Happ (unfortunately) blew himself up. Imagine if he did not and produced consistently sharp #s, well his value would be higher than it was at the start of July and we could've aimed for a blockbuster deal. Finally, why are people set on throwing Drury/McKinnel under the bus? Prospects/players *can* get better (Bautista for example, clearly). We have good years of control on these two young guys, and they have as much upside as downside. It isn't like we are going to be competing next year (or the year after that). If these guys can provide even a bit of consistency of being an average/above average player, we can leverage them for pieces in another trade or, who knows, maybe they'll fit well in to the system.

What has gotten into Grichuk lately? Is he this good or just a blip in an otherwise pre-DL career

Surprised this catch is no where to be found on MLB frontpage even if I scroll all the way down.

Wow. How stuck to your TV screen must you be to completely ignore the reality of someone assaulting another human being and calling the rest of us crybabies for showing empathy.

Damn this sucks. Sanchez does not seem to be getting better through the weeks.

"slowly but surely... Kendry Morales is beginning to look like Kendry Morales." I can't Buck... I can't.

We need Papelbon in our dugout yelling his head off at Morales for taking a god damn jog

Does anyone have stats on how many times we squandered RISP 0 Outs chances (i.e. not scoring even one run) and where we rank regards to that in the league?

"Encouraging sign!"

The only thing furosemide is used for (medically) is heart failure, fluid-buildup (due to liver/kidney failure or end-stage disease) and rarely, if ever, for hypertension. Since I doubt with the first two conditions, he would be able to play, it would be high blood pressure for which there are many better drugs (first-line). So... hm. Source: MD Student

Just look at the positives, peeps. Pillar has still not let us down!

The K party is well on its way. - Damn, nice play.

Gurriel Jr. has high baseball IQ.

Lindor & Brantley are just killing us today.

Damn Naquin, wooow.

What a day Solarte. What a day.

Oh man, please don't be another bases-loaded-but-nothing-to-show-for

Come on Hernandez

Momentum dies with Morales.

Taking a trip from Montreal on Thursday to go see the Jays! Woo Woo.

I am rather confused as to how we have the best avg with RISP, but miss big opportunities like these consistently... Are BoSox worse than this?

Can we just score these two before it goes bases loaded again? 'cause that won't bode well.

Isn't that the fifth or sixth time this series with a bases loaded scenario but we barely have anything to show for it?
