mcgowan just struck out the side...the tigers three best hitters...the best hitter in the game....sick...

or we could stretch him out and make him a starter....we have no starting pitching..mcgowan's stuff looks so good.....such incredible movement to his stuff..

should have started cecil....he could have gone 3 innings....given up none or maybe 1 runs before handing it to the bullpen.....instead they go with redmond who will give up 5 through 3 innings before handing it to the bullpen..

the big thing for me is the back...probably just because my wife has a bad back and problem with buldging disks. She's had an mri and is on meds for her back and no she isn't a fatty...she's in great shape, but I understand the issues people with back problems go through and to be a catcher with a bad back and all the other injuries..it's a red flag to say the least. The anti AA crowd say D'arnaud and Syndergaard and the hear all star and cy young....but D'arnaud has some serious risks with his health and syder is just now pitching at AA...these were definitely taken into account when the trade was made. RA had 3 solid seasons..not one. This year he's had his own health issues and pitched through them...some believe they are not to blame for his performance...those who say that may or may not be right. RA has pitched some great games..the last two were quality starts...in three more starts the RA bandwagon will be making a stop and people will either be jumping on or jumping off....we'll see...I predict good things because I can rationalize poor performance do to the neck and back spasms he had and because I'm just a positive person to begin with..lol

Why does no one acknowledge the injury risk associated with D'arnaud...prior to this year he's had back injuries and knee injuries. That's not really a good recipe for a catcher....bulging disks in your back at such a young age are a very serious concern...and now with his foot injury...D'arnaud may never play a game......Pitching prospects are hit and miss and the jays needed pitchers now...If Dickey pitches well the rest of the way this won't be that bad of a deal....the jays still have sanchez. There is a serious lovefest with prospects here...some are still expecting Snider to turn things around...I mean he was the number 3 prospect in baseball at one point..

maybe the back and neck issues from the beginning of the season weren't just excuses.....maybe dickey is finding it and can be an ace....need two more solid outings in a row before we can say that...but 2 in a row is encouraging.

lindy with a big day....sweet

jose has had a lot more dramatic home runs....he's his some very meaningful bombs this year..

you don't...but even with the catcher at third...farrell calls that play more than 50% of the time...so it surprises no one....

i was thinking squeeze play there before it happened.....why would you make that play with the catcher running...farrell..I don't miss that play..

i'm the biggest lind fan....but he's looked terrible tonight....he took that 2 and 0 pitch that was right down the middle....and he's pressed the rest of the night...

or maybe not

holy over reaction batman...the game isn't even done yet..

unless johnson really turns it around he's going to be signing a short term deal....I wouldn't mind it if he signed a reasonable one or two year contract with the jays if he committed to the delabar program in the offseason..lol. Johnson still throws 93, 94 mile an hour which is still good....he still hasn't pitched a lot this season...we will see how the rest of the season goes..

you don't get hits every time in baseball...anemicoffense....what a funny screen name..lol

izzy has been on fire his last 12 games.....

the right thing is to trade oliver and save the money. You can still get something for oliver...go get a prospect...we have tons of arms in the bullpen and some depth at buffalo as well....option wagner until you trade oliver if you can't do it right now....there's no need to carry 8 arms in the pen with the starting pitching having eaten up so many more innings lately...you can't keep 8 arms sharp if they don't get work...

had to miss the last half of the game...just read the game day thread and had a good laugh....leading up to jose's at bat...can't see baltimore losing..jays blew it...jose do something....jose auto out...jose that was right down the middle.....why don't you sit on breaking balls jose...jose sucks...lol....then...jose wins the ballgame..lol too funny...

Gibby has just been fairly even keel throughout the year....He deserves some credit for keeping the team positive and focused....when you get to 11 games below .500 as a team it's easy for a team to fold and give up on the season....this team did not do that.

whatever you say vanland.... a while ago you posted the identical post within a minute about getting home and being surprised the jays were winning on the regular jays board and this board..except on one board you posted under 4ever500 and on the other you posted under vanland. Now is it possible there are two fans from the west coast who both came home and started watching the game at the exact same time in the third inning and felt the need to post the exact same thing...sure....I also might win the lottery tonight.

you're f***ing stupid beyond belief....jose wasn't even looking at the pitcher until he started running his mouth....you f***ing putz....why don't you go blow o'day...f***ing vanland....

seriously...reyes should be playing tomorrow..bring him up

terrible attitude...give me a f***ing break vanland...you're a joke

what are you talking about...the pitcher was chirping him....stand up for the guys who play for your team....you'd think jose had done nothing for this team over the past 4 years...some of you so called fans are a joke.

Yeah....i'm sure he was never unlucky earlier in the season....you can't acknowledge one without the other....Buehrle didn't have his best stuff last night and he grinded it out. He threw a few great changeups last night that got him strikeouts and out of jams. His previous start he was dynamite and didn't need any luck. He's a pro who has a track record. You just don't like AA..lol
