    This is going to be the road trip which seals the Jays season IMO. Even taking 3 of 6 would be an accomplishment but I have a feeling something like 1-5 is on the way. Hope I'm wrong.
  2. glory
    Yeah seriously. Bring Joe Smith back or some equivalent to him that's always on the market every year and get 3-4 pieces back for Osuna before his arm explodes. Best use of a closer.
  3. glory
    Stroman probably saw Refsynder coming in as an infield replacement and is going to try to strike everyone out.
  4. glory
    Is Ohlman a bad framer? According to gameday the 0-2 pitch to Ramos was a curve ball right down the middle and called a ball. Or maybe just umps being umps.

    Estrada will be back next year. Whichever team claimed him won't give up much for 5 or 6 starts. Nothing's going to happen.
  6. glory
    It's not so much the Aav, but the fact that he could be an issue just having on the roster. How many sluggers like him without super elite plate discipline age gracefully? Even Bautista who did have great plate discipline saw a big drop off at age 35-36, and Stanton will be signed until 38. It's an Alex A move. A move that will provide value and excitement for the first few years until you realize you're stuck with a former great player in his twilight making big money towards the mid/end of the deal.

    He has 10/295 left on his contract, and he will be 28 next season. Hell to the no on Stanton. The first half of that contract will probably be fine, but the last five could be brutal.

    Lol, one of those games where the Jays had no business winning it, but I'll take it.
  9. glory
    Getting a standing O from the crowd > wins. Oh well, at least the season is a lost cause, otherwise this s*** would be way more frustrating.
  10. glory
    Nevermind. I thought Gibbons would take Tepesch out after 6 but winning is apparently not something he wants to do.
  11. glory
    The good news is he got through six with only 1 run allowed. Bad news is he was absolute s*** and will now get another start where he won't be so lucky and will get his ass handed to him.
  12. glory
    Gibbons better have a quick f***ing hook here. Tepesch is dumpster fire.
  13. glory
    I refuse to live in a world where Keith Law was right about something, so dammit Tellez, turn into a big leaguer!
  14. glory
    I was hoping Dumbrowski would have traded him. Won't happen now. Darn.
  15. glory
    Yep. Jays need to go on a huge winning streak just to get back into real contention, and they'll have to do that with 2/5 of the rotation being dumpster fire. Rowley had a good start, but he's not reliable by any means. That's not even factoring the lineup with Barney/Ref and Goins up the middle, Pillar at center, and Raffy/Montero/Ohlman at catcher. Too little, too late. But hell, even if they fake contention from now until October, at least it will kill time. Nothing worse than waiting for the off-season to begin in August. Go on a fake run and keep me entertained.
  16. glory
    Agreed, but the alternative is watching an old ass team with no young players play out the string. Some blind hope at least is a good time passer until the off-season.
  17. glory
    One of the big reasons the Jays can't go on an extended winning streak is that they only have 3 mlb starters right now, and their depth is basically dumpster fire. They pretty much can't afford to lose the games Stro/Estrada/Happ start, and then have to pray when the other two SP's go. There has to be some Hellickson type scrub available via waivers that can at least eat some big league innings at an above replacement rate for the rest of the season. Better than watching Tepesch get his ass handed to him tomorrow and beyond.
  18. glory
    It is more surprising that the Jays view him as a second baseman. Has no one from the org watched him play defence before? Dude is trash in the infield. I know anything is better than Goins and Barney, but they actually have to be able to field at least a little bit too.
  19. glory
    Can't wait until Alford is the CF. can't stand Pillar.
  20. glory
    Extreme GB pitcher on the mound. Time to start Refsynder at second base. Sounds like a fool proof plan.
  21. glory
    If Estrada was pitching like this directly leading up to the trade deadline, then I think that would have been more likely. Now with the waiver process and two weeks already gone post trade deadline, teams might be less likely to give up enough value to make a deal worth while for the Jays. If I had to pin point a team that would be desperate enough to make a deal it would be Seattle (longest playoff drought), but not sure what they have left or what they'd give up. I'd love if the Jays got something good for Marco and then brought him back three months from now, but it's looking more likely that keeping him and re-signing him is the more likely scenario.
  22. glory
    I have said before I think Estrada will be back next season. Shapiro wants nothing to do with the free agent market and Estrada is practically endorsing that he wants to come back. Unless they get an actual good package for him, I think he will stay regardless of how the team is doing. He's not going to be Jay Bruce'd.
  23. glory
    I don't see why he would. He'd be a fairly cheap ($3-4mm?) gamble for six weeks. If he has cleared, then yeah, the Jays should hold out for actual value now.

    August 10, 2017 2B Samad Taylor assigned to Vancouver Canadians from Bluefield Blue Jays.
  25. glory
    Donaldson will be in a weird spot because he will be a free agent at age 33, the big market teams don't need 3b (unless Dombrowski turns Dumbrowski and trades Devers), and he will be competing in the same free agent class as Harper and Machado who are 6-7 years younger than him. If he tests free agency, he's probably not going to get the deals he thinks he will. The Jays should offer him a four year extension on top of his one year of control left. That sets him up from age 32-36. That's reasonable. If not, then let him test free agency or trade him next trade deadline.
