Easy peasy. Win the series tomorrow on our way to the sweep.

I'll say again, why haven't they called fastballs up and in to RHH? Especially with that deep left field wall. They are obviously looking down.

I'd like to see the elevated fastball to RH hitters also. Too much down and in.

Pussy

I think most people predicted all of that. Manoah obviously was not as good as his ERA made him look last year, he was going to have come back some and Berrios was clearly better than whatever happened last year. Certainly nobody expected a complete collapse from Manoah.

Well it seems pretty clear at this point that the Blue Jays are done with him pitching at the major league level this year. Even if there's an injury it seems they would be content to go with an opener over him.

Baltimore is due a slide before the season is up, that slide begins tonight, as does the end of their sweepless series streak. Jays are going to turn the ugly birds inside out.

Rangers with a tough loss, will be in tough again tomorrow with Gallen. They will probably still be okay but who knows? Going to be an interesting stretch run, I do think people are overdoing it with Seattle, they are on a heater, they have a great pitching staff but they've had one all season, they have their flaws and will still have their ups and downs. All of these teams have their flaws including ours. Should be exciting.

As do I, then I hope he proceeds to foul a ball off his dick and miss the entire Jays series. f*** him.

I was trying to read between the lines on their comments also but I'm not sure yet if that's what they meant. Buck sure sounded disappointed that he hasn't been pitching, which I agree with, but that may have just been a soft shot at management. There needs to be a plan here. If he is refusing assignment he should have been suspended by now.

You knew that day it was first written that those words would live on in infamy.

The Rangers are still in play, Tampa Bay is still in play for teams that could end up missing the playoffs, that's the level of competition. And there was some people who actually thought the path to the playoffs would be relatively easy this year, and this is with the Yankees all but out of it, though Boston is hanging tough also.

Ryu doing Ryu things

Merciless for Schneider to upgrade our offense in a 9 to 2 game.

Puppy Chow. They're feasting.

Well it did look like our most offensive lineup in a while and it is producing.

Gave up five runs in plus of an inning actually.

Needed this win.

If we're encouraging pointless threads I have plenty that I can make.

f*** that, bring in Cito to teach these *******s how to pull a ball. The point of working the count is not to see a lot of pitches, it's to get a pitch that you can pull the f*** out of, even if it's the first pitch.

Sometimes I wonder if Kirk understands pitch calling to the game situation. On to the next one...

What's wrong with this? There have been several players that have skipped the minor leagues all together. Granted it doesn't happpen often anymore, but it doesn't necessarily make them a s***** organization for doing it.

I thought Biggio was the best of our young players when he first came up (I didn't trust Bo's approach and over aggressiveness, and I just never really loved the way Vladdy looked like as a hitter either and hated the shape he was in despite everybody glowing about him, also don't like his clown antics). I loved Cavan's eye at the plate, seemed to have good line drive swing, seemed serious about the game. Enjoyed watching him hit. Well, OBVIOUSLY wrong about Bo, it works for him, still wish he would show a LITTLE more patience but can't really complain much about his production. Looked like I could be wrong about Vlad, but outside of one breakout partial season based perhaps on playing in Buffalo, he really hasn't looked like anything special. Maybe if he finally gets serious about his conditioning. Started to feel really stupid about how much I liked Biggio initially though LOL. He looked absolutely lost for a while, looked like he just couldn't catch up to fastballs, and I completely gave up on him. I held on through last year, but I was pretty much over him early on this year. I hope this is real. We need a bat like his from the left side. He could still stand to benefit by cutting down the K's, but that's also a byproduct of his approach and getting routinely f***ed by umpires, but maybe he could learn to spoil close pitches better as he goes forward. I'm rooting for him, back on the bandwagon, don't hurt me twice Cavan.

Well that was less than ideal.

Maybe DeJong just didn't want to be traded? Looks like he left his heart in St. Louis. That or he's just utter s***.
