    Not to mention that 5 of his 6 HRs came this weekend at GABP. Cincy's pitching staff still has many questions.. their 8-5 start is baffling, especially with Rookie Davis and Finnegan hitting the DL...

    That and the Cardinals are as inept as the Jays right now--possibly even worse than Toronto. Mike Matheny's seat must be heating up as we speak.. he's a high risk to be one of the first managers fired this year. Next to Matheny, the next most likely ones include Jeff Banister (Rangers) Kevin Cash (Rays)--if they don't contend this year Brook Jacoby (Jays hitting coach)--Gibbons is not going anywhere for 2 years.. but I don't see the hitting coach making it through the month. Brad Ausmus (Tigers)--despite being 8-4, the bullpen is ghastly awful.. Ned Yost (Royals) Mike Sciosia (Angels)--it's time for change in LA. 17 years and only 1 playoff appearance since 2009 shows new leadership is needed. Bryan Price (Reds)

    Should also mention that the reason I didn't mention Tampa is due to money concerns--otherwise, they'd be on the same upswing as the Yankees, as they have some good prospects with Casey Gillaspie, Willy Adames, Daniel Robertson (who's already in the majors), and a lot of pitching prospects. The concern is that they will not be able to afford to keep the current pitching staff together.. with Odorizzi likely to be dealt next, as his salary escalates, and Cobb's a free agent after this season. Only Archer is likely to stay a few more years (he's on a very team friendly deal.) And of course, if the team's not in contention, Longoria is going to be dealt sooner or later--likely next offseason, as his 10/5 rights approach, which would make it impossible for Tampa to trade him.

    Pineda has the best chance at the moment.. Tanaka will depend on whether his elbow holds up, as his current numbers aren't impressive. Sabathia will likely retire unless he has a big season in NY with lesser stuff...not convinced on his 1st 3 starts so far.

    It's scary to think the Yankees could once again be the dominant team in the AL East in 2018 and beyond with all their prospects and money coming off the books, as the O's, Blue Jays and Red Sox will begin to decline (O's because Machado leaves after 2018, likely headed to the Yankees possibly or somewhere else, Red Sox because Dombrowski mortgaged the team's future and have few prospects above A/AA ball plus pitching questions right now after Sale, and the Jays you're seeing firsthand now.) However, the Yanks need to replenish that pitching staff.. especially considering Pineda, Tanaka and Sabathia all leave after this season.

    Watching the Cardinals/Yanks game, it's like watching the Blue Jays.. Cards are as inept offensively as Toronto, and it's worse as it's combined with awful pitching...
  7. jaysfan2014
    He'll have to wait for an injury.. or when the Dodgers dangle him for pitching that won't break down frequently--Rich Hill just went down today with a blister. Not helping is that Maeda and Ryu are struggling...
  8. jaysfan2014
    Well, at least they got a run..
  9. jaysfan2014
    Well, Jones is hurt.. O's better prepare for Gentry/Rickard everyday in CF if this is a serious injury..
  10. jaysfan2014
    And regarding Dexter Fowler--he's done nothing for the Cardinals so far, batting .136/.224/.159, and is on pace to cost Mike Matheny and many of the coaches in St. Louis their jobs(team's only 1 game up on Toronto for the worst record). Don't know if he'd have helped the Jays much.
  11. jaysfan2014
    How long before Brook Jacoby gets the axe? Because with the team's performance, he's likely to be the first to be fired, possibly as early as tomorrow's off day. Reality is, the roster AA built, not Atkins, is close to collapse.. this isn't the first time. Let's not forget the 1995 team.. where the team just collapsed, 2 years after their WS win.. that's actually the closest comparison to this present team.. It might've been better to let Bautista go and take the pick.. because Bautista looks like he's close to done.
  12. jaysfan2014
    That'll earn Pillar more starts at leadoff with that double...
  13. jaysfan2014
    Red Sox getting creamed 10-2 to Tampa.. Cy Porcello 4.1 IP, 8 H, 8ER, 2BB, 5K, 4HR.. BTW, Rays reliever Austin Pruitt needs to be sent to the minors ASAP.. why the hell does Cash keep using him...
  14. jaysfan2014
    Can someone please be fired on the coaching staff now? 1-9.... it's the 2004 team, but with good pitching.. and that's bad.
  15. jaysfan2014
    C'mon Pearce.. break Britton's saves streak now!
  16. jaysfan2014
    Duh. I support both the Jays and Tampa... and any other small/mid-market team that is not the Yankees or Red Sox or O's...
  17. jaysfan2014
    EE isn't helping much in Cleveland either--that team is also under .500 as well due to his slow start and awful pitching (there's been significant regression to the SP, possibly due to Francona running them into the ground in last year's playoffs.)
  18. jaysfan2014
    This is 1997 or 2008 but worse.. the hitting right now makes that team look good. TBH, I can't think of a comparison.. this is awful. I'm ready to switch support to Tampa.. and it's only 10 games in.
  19. jaysfan2014
    Somebody hit something!!! Don't let pitchers like Miley look like Cy Young...
  20. jaysfan2014
    At least Coghlan knows how to take a walk.. with strong BB% rates and a little speed.. shocking the Jays waited till game #10 to call him up..
  21. jaysfan2014
    OF/INF Chris Coghlan on his way to Toronto.
  22. jaysfan2014
    Here's something to chew on--the Red Sox in 2011 went 2-10, almost as bad as the Jays in their 1st 12 games, then through Aug. 31st, they went 81-42... unfortunately, chicken and beer doomed that team... With our pitching, we can turn this around... but the hitting must be dealt with! Whether it requires firing Brook Jacoby or calling somebody from AAA Buffalo, something must be done.. most notably at the leadoff spot.
  23. jaysfan2014
    FIRE BROOK JACOBY NOW!!!!! And while you're at it, shake up this damn roster! 1-8! This is ridiculous--great pitching ruined by no offense!
  24. jaysfan2014
    Much better start this time from Liriano.. O's aren't exactly Tampa.. no patience. Remember, the O's are at the bottom in walks.. it's either HR or bust.
  25. jaysfan2014
    Yes! And right now, Travis either needs to kept low in the order or in AAA.. and FYI, why is Goins still here?
