Man, this could have been a sweep, but I'll take 2 out of 3 in that ballpark, especially after the nightmare that park seems to be for the Jays this time of year. Now take 2 of 3 from the Mariners, and go from there.
-
Yep. The Jays were leading the 2nd wild card last year on July 31st and by the end of the season they finished behind 4 teams in the race for the 2nd WC. The Wild Card race will sort itself out by the end of the season. The division is what the Jays need to go after, even though I don't expect the Yankees to let up. With some 13 games remaining against them, that should be the goal. The WC is what the Jays should "settle" for....even though after 22 years without a playoff spot that would look like the holy grail at this point.
-
I hate that Carrasco's name was brought up. Got me all excited and I know there's no chance of it happening. Bastards.
-
The 2nd WC looks far more attainable. It looks like it will be a battle between Minnesota, Toronto, Detroit, Baltimore, and Tampa. All those teams, including the Jays, are mediocre. It's winnable. Depends on what AA adds at the deadline, if anything.
-
Well, Smoak is historically better against rhp, so benching him against a lefty is fine. Of course, that doesn't explain Sling Blade's lineup last night against a righty.
-
Carrasco is 28, a front of the rotation starter, and signed for 3 years + 2 team options, with only $20m guaranteed and $37m over five years if team options are picked up. Hell yeah you trade Norris for him. It will take way more than him, though.
-
Now we're f***ing talking.
-
Remember when people said one team will eventually break from the pack in the East? yeah, it's the Yankees. Gotta aim for the 2nd WC now.
-
The 2nd quote is when someone suggested the Jays should sell. The Orioles and Jays are separated by one game. Why should one sell and the other expect to win the 2nd WC?
-
I stayed up until 2 am to watch this s***. I hate being a Blue Jays fan.
-
Too close. NY won't overturn it.
-
New York will side with Oakland.
-
Donaldson striking out on ball 4 was the turning point. The Jays should have taken the lead that inning. This just feels like an impending one run loss coming. f***.
-
The next GM/president will have no ties to JP Ricciardi, so thankfully it might mean the end for Sling Blade as manager. One can only hope. He's not qualified to coach a t-ball team.
-
Let's rag on Cito Gaston some more and ignore what's going on today. It's more fun.
-
I'm convinced that people who defend Gibbons don't actually watch games. He's so, so bad. Of course the error leads to a run. Why not?
-
Defense exists, Gibbons.
-
BABIP can be so giving and also very cruel.
-
I think when Gibbons doesn't like someone, he tends to use them sparingly regardless of the situation (Smoak, Hendriks). In this case, he's using inferior talent because of that bias, and it's costing the team. AA has to find a way to get rid of Navarro and Colabello by the deadline. Dummy proof the roster so that Gibbons doesn't have a choice. That's all you can do other than firing him and hiring someone who actually knows the difference between a good player and a bad one (and if Alex hasn't fired him by now, he never will).
-
And their ownership actually cares about winning, so if they need to make an upgrade, they'll do it. I think they might be on the verge of running away with it.
-
If it's tied or a one run game late, then Loup and Tepera will surely get the nod.
-
And Kazmir goes tomorrow, so he could have put this lineup out there tomorrow instead of tonight if he wanted Mushroom and Valencia to play so badly. The Jays have to win in spite of Gibbons. That's just the reality of the situation.
-
Jays beat Archer a few days ago. Need to get that same magic going against Gray.
-
Teixeira has been amazing for the Yankees this season. Damn. Him and A-Rod have found the fountain of youth (or roids). Too bad.
-
Gray's numbers against righties and lefties are almost identical this season. He shuts lefties down, no question, but the difference is hardly enough to make the defense worse for a marginal, if any, offensive upgrade (since Mushroom is still hitting, flukey BABIP and all). Whatever. It's Gibbons, and up against the opposing team's ace. Just have to wish for some luck.
