Ok nevermind Turnbull is getting rocked in the 3rd inning.
But it doesn't matter because Francis will right the ship anyway. The guy is a gamer and I've always believed in him.
I've seen enough.
Pull Turnbull from the rest of this start and have him take Bowden's place on Sunday.
I'd rather watch Turnbull throwing 88 mph slop over the plate than watching Bowden give up a half dozen dingers each start
Jays org has another big game today as Spencer Turnbull (he who represents whatever pitching depth we have left) takes the hill for Buffalo
First inning for Turnbull went well with zero hits or walks and 1 K
Oh by all means use them.
McMahon, Flair and Macho Man are absolute gold mines.
They are only off limits to the Debbie Downers who can use Bubba the Love Sponge or Ultimate Warrior gifs if they'd like.
Tons of stuff is breaking the right way. The lineup and the bench look good and there is enough depth that we can withstand injuries.
Same goes with the bullpen.
The rotation is fine right now, as the big 3 are firing away. But if one of them got hurt we would be in some trouble. Just need to keep keep this patchwork rotation together until the deadline at which point we can make an add. Which shouldn't be hard to do because our prospects are also on fire.
On to Minny
I'm proud of everyone on Team Positive for remaining strong in the face of the negative hoard who were tarring and feathering us every chance they got
It took a lot of courage from all of us but it's great to see good people getting rewarded for doing the right thing
The Debbie Downers are completely shook right now
The boys have won 7 of 8 games, and 4 out of the last 5 series
If the current scores hold, we will also take sole possession of the 3rd wild card spot
Only 5 games back of the fraud Yankees
Average Phillies player:
6'4''
190 pounds
pretty good hitter
the worst fielder at his position in the history of the game
Average Jays Player:
5'8''
255 pounds
gold glove caliber fielder
the worst base runner you've ever seen in your entire life
They have a bunch of tall lanky white guys with long hair running around and booting the ball all over the place
Reminds me of the stoner team we play in beer league softball on Wednesday nights
Fangraphs' scouting of him tracks this. They call him a statcast-darling with elite exit velos but they say scouts think he has a long swing which could lead to struggles in MLB.
But if he keeps mashing as he moves his way up the ranks I think the concerns with the latter have to dissipate some.
I almost forgot that the Rays have two stadiums.
The one mentioned above is only being used because the roof flew off of the other one.
So yeah, our AL East Rivals are all trash.
