It's 2 f***ing games....the same Astros just took 2 of 3 games from the Athletics and they have the best record in baseball. It's like you try and trump each comment with a dumner one.
jose is a fan of the bluejaysmessageboard.com group. He's just trying to fit in. I don't know why guys who moan and groan non stop complain about players who moan and groan.
game calling is an important part of the defensive responsibilities of a catcher. There is no statistical way of judging this. Sometimes pitchers shake catchers off....sometimes like Buehrle they don't. Buehrle has had a better year. Is it because of Navarro's superior ability to call a game or is he just pitching better. Stro hasn't been shaking Navarro off either this year...Maybe you could call anything and these two would still have the same numbers..
we've become the Oakland A's this year. While other GM's were out shopping at Nieman Marcus and spending big....Cespedes for Lester which was pricey but made sense...or worse craig and Kelley for Lackey...that's a lot of dough for a dress that isn't that sexy....old Alex has been hitting the second hand thrift stores paying very little to aquire Reimold, Francisco, Valencia, tolleson. He's hand made a few outfits promoting from within in Stroman, Sanchez and Hutch. We have a team where 22 and 21 year olds like Stro is basically our number 1 starter and Sanchez is now an 8th inning guy. It sounds crazy, but these kids and these spare parts might just be enough to compete.
AA said on Tim and Sid that Stroman has no innings limit due to all the innings he pitched during his 50 game suspension. He pitched 50 or 60 innings in that stretch that aren't on his stat sheet. Sanchez will remain in the bullpen.
Did you just compare lawrie and Stroman to Franklin and Smyly....That's hilarious. I'm fine with the Jays not making any trades. I wouldn't have mind a trade, but we still have the best offense in the league and we're not dropping out of the wild card race at all the rest of the season.
The jays have the best offense in the league once EE, Lind and Lawrie get back. Reimold and Valencia give them added options for lefty pitching. This will carry them into the playoffs. We might not stack up against the obvious pitching strength of other teams, but man it will be fun being in the post season.
this was a classic game day thread....bitch, bitch, bitch oh bitch, bitch, bitch....oh bitch oh bitch oh bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.......hey look guys, the Jays just won their 6th straight...cool.
