High strike. -
Almost threw that one away. Molina just saved him.
-
Time to come up big Tolly.
-
Atta boy, Reyes! Now a SF at least.
-
Can you feel the ban hammer coming to a theatre near you?
-
Would be nice if Francisco could bunt/hit a dribbler to 3rd. No one is there. But better than a DP
-
I'd doubt we'd be that lucky. Much like a cold sore, they'll return at the worst possible time.
-
OK that made me chuckle.

Dickey to pitch on Sunday instead of Happ
JaysFan4Ever replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
They're claiming he pitches well in the dome and he's been pitching well lately so potential win going into the break. Not a bad idea. I wonder if maybe Happ had flashbacks. Not making a joke or mocking the guy but could be something that happened too. -
Hamstring strain/pull for Kawi. Day-to-day. So glad the AS break is right around the corner.
-
I have to agree with him. If McGowan gets beat on the payoff pitch it's only a run. Why try tricking/fooling the hitter especially when McGowan has been inconsistent with the off speed stuff?
-
It was mostly McGowan forgetting how to throw strikes to two batters and when he remembered how to he gave up a 3-run shot.
-
Would be great if Colby jacks at least a double if not over the wall.
-
Bang-bang play. I can't see that being enough to overturn it.
-
I knew Navarro was slow but holy damn. 2B took his time and still had him out by about 5ft. He could have had tea with Escobar and still thrown him out.
-
Stroman is texting him the ticket confirm now lol
-
3rd walk. Joy. McGowan pisses me off because he's one of the guys I've been rooting for, coming back from all the injuries and such. Has a decent year out of the pen last year. Kind of gets tossed into the rotation, heads back to the pen where it looks like he might be able to be better and then just seems to fall apart. I think it's almost a certainty his option isn't picked up next year. Bad innings happen for RP but damn it seems like without luck and everything working for him McGowan gets slammed.
-
Well, that's why they didn't PH. You have to be f***ing kidding me. And what timing. He hits that jack and the fireworks at the stadium go off here. The Rays SS A ball team is less than 10 mins down the road from me.
-
It would be great to have the best record in the game, surpass the A's and such. I get disheartened when the Jays slump mostly because it feels like Groundhog Day but this year no one is really running away with the division. Tread water, stay a few games within first and get hot at the right time. Hell, I'd rather just squeak by and get into the playoffs and see what happens ie the 2006 Cardinals. 83 wins wind up winning the World Series. 21+ years of everything going wrong does harp on you but like I said, if the team can squeak in, even late September, then see what happens in the playoffs. Get hot then and see where it goes. It sucks to be 6 games up and then free fall but considering that fall and where everyone in the division is, it's not nearly as bad as it could be. Hopefully they get their s*** together, get healthy, maybe pull off a trade or two to sure a few things up and see what happens.
-
If the division keeps its ups and downs that every team seems to be having and only a few games separating the teams, September could be when the division winner is made. Hopefully the Jays get healthy, and everything clicks like it did early. It seems when it rains and it pours.
-
Good point. He might just be one of those guys who just struggles with certain pitches or just so ingrained into him that he guesses wrong sometimes. Reminds me of Snider. Guy with a lot of potential but hit the big leagues, they'll expose your weakness and if you can't adjust or keep making the mistakes you won't stick around as an every day player. Maybe Hinske is a better example since he was pretty good during his ROY season, the next year wasn't horrible, then hurt a few times, never really was the same guy after the first year and a half.
-
True.
-
That's the bad part, if they want to send him down, good chance someone plucks him off waivers for the raw power alone. Considering he kind of came out of nowhere it would be tough just to have him go on a waiver claim unless no one wants to waste the spot. But until Lawrie, Lind or someone is back he'll be here. I'd rather see them trade him, package him with someone, than just let him go on a waiver claim but the longer he struggles the less likely he'll be claimed. I just have the feeling that if he gets claimed if they try to send him back to Buffalo someone will grab him, fix his swing and it'll be a team that plays the Jays often enough for him to eat up our pitching. Of course he could continue to suck. Maybe flip him with someone for an actual 2B/3B.
-
It's MB he's been battling all game and every game. I don't see why they yanked him with the bottom of the order up especially for Jenkins of all RPs. I guess the pen is rested the break is up coming and MB will be in the ASG so maybe that played a bit in Gibbon's mind? 93 pitches, might throw 10-20 in the ASG? Maybe MB was just tiring or Gibby is playing percentages again? Maybe trying to get Jenkins a clean inning which he seems incapable of?
-
Is Francisco uncoachable? I'm sure he's been told to lay off those pitches he keeps whiffing on but it doesn't seem like he's able to absorb it. I'm sure he's been told that throughout his career which is why he hasn't stuck around too long.
