    I'm a little surprised Gibby didn't start Smoak to be honest. I know the fact that he's Smoak is working against him but he has absolutely raked against Porcelain (SSS but still).

    Gibby strikes again. Martin had better be on his death bed to miss ANY game of this series.

    This lineup is atrocious.

    Pretty silly that people are rating Barnes so high when he's only pitched, what, three games in the show? I agree that he COULD be that guy, at least by looking at his numbers this year, but come on, let's get a look at the guy first.

    I don't know if this has been talked about but it looks like the Jays are skipping Liriano, or at least pushing him back, as Stroman is now listed as Friday's starter. I wonder if they're just realigning the rotation to get the guys they want in the upcoming Boston series.

    No reason to rest Upton with the off day tomorrow. He's been hitting the ball really well. Even yesterday he had a couple of warning track fly balls to RF. Also I hate our OF defense with both Bautista and Saunders floundering around out there.

    Sanchez vs. Gallardo Jays: rf Bautista 3b Donaldson 1b Encarnacion lf Saunders c Martin ss Tulowitzki DH NAVARRO cf Pillar 2b Travis O's: lf Kim 2b Schoop 3b Machado 1b Davis rf Trumbo dh Alvarez c Weiters ss Hardy cf Reimold Here we go with Navarro dhing...surprised he's not cleanup too.

    From what I've seen from Upton, his arm is definitely better than Saunders'.

    No pizza for me. Steaks on the BBQ and a six-pack of steam whistle.

    I actually do kind of like Upton and pillar back to back in the lineup. Those two have made some things happen with their speed recently.
  13. mellowgold
    That's gross. We could play Bautista AND Saunders in the OF and still have way better defense out there.

    https://www.thestar.com/sports/bluejays/2016/08/26/jays-see-sanchez-as-playoff-starter-which-is-a-relief-griffin.html Here's the article I was referring to. It's Griffin but it does contain direct quotes from Gibby.

    Whether it's Upton, pillar and saunders with bautista at dh or Upton, pillar and bautista with saunders at dh, the point remains. Unless you want smoak playing, these are the two options.
  16. mellowgold
    A sixth outfielder could come in handy if we're using one as a pinch runner. Let's say Upton/Pillar/Saunders start with Bautista at dh, which we'll probably see a fair amount. Pompey comes in to run for Edwin or whoever. Zeke could still be useful as a defensive replacement for Saunders.
  17. mellowgold
    I hear what you're saying but you're not gonna put him in for Tulo and you're not gonna put him in for Donaldson. The only possibility would be Travis, but we can just use Barney for that.
  18. mellowgold
    As of right now, it's likely Carrera. I know with Pompey included, he's not as needed, but Gibbons seems to like him for some reason.
  19. mellowgold
    I think the org. essentially said as much recently. I'll see if I can find a link. But yes, this is assuming Sanchez stays where he is.
  20. mellowgold
    I seriously doubt we go with just three starters, especially when there isn't much of a drop from our #1 to our #4.
  21. mellowgold
    Yep. In a short series we don't need eight relievers. It's completely redundant, especially with the options we have at the bottom end of the bullpen. Gibbons will likely only use four or five for the most part anyway.
  22. mellowgold
    No. We can't. 9 starters + 5 bench + 4 rotation + 8 bullpen = 26. Unless math works differently in northern Ontario.
  23. mellowgold
    Why not?
  24. mellowgold
    Yeah this is the problem. We don't exactly have a lot of options. Honestly though, I would include Pompey. He had a few absolutely crucial steals in the playoffs last year and if Upton is starting, we don't really have that element on the bench right now. But I think someone who can come in and steal a base when you need it would be a better piece than one of our AAAA relievers.
  25. mellowgold
    Haha yep, I did actually. I guess he's the seventh guy right now but he doesn't exactly instill a great deal of confidence.
