    Since he's on the DL as of August 31st, I believe he can be part of the postseason roster. I think only players acquired from other teams after August 31st are ineligible for the postseason roster. I'm cautiously optimistic with Stroman. If he does come back, I will expect nothing and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

    Ault, yeah I definitely remember you, why not stick with your old handle?
  3. Masterbather
    Ah, have fun then, and represent. Yes, I was on the old board.

    The LA series? I hope we beat them for our own divisional aspirations, as for the wild card race, let the Yankees worry about that.

    Yeah, did the math wrong on that one. Then the only thing that makes sense is Dickey on short rest, but, even though he's a knuckleballer, he's 40, he throws a hard knuckler and we've already asked him to do this once. I don't want to start abusing the guy in August. Maybe we start Hutch and pray he survives 3-4 innings and go to the pen. Given the off days and the fact the pen hasn't been overworked of late, it's doable.

    That's my exact concern. He's not a finesse guy who can survive with a few less MPH. He does hit the armside bottom corner pretty consistently, so his command could help overcome some of the velocity loss, but he does rely on power. Even then, it's not like he sits in the upper 90's, he sits in the mid-90's, so even a couple of MPH loss on the fastball, and he's down to low 90's. I'd be very concerned about that.

    A's will have Sonny Gray going in the Thursday game, don't want to give that one away either. It's a tough situation. I'd go MB, Hutch, Estrada vs Oakland, Price, Dickey, MB vs NYY. MB's career numbers aren't great against NY, but I'd still trust him over Hutch right now, and it still gives you a chance in the Thursday game with Estrada vs Gray.

    isn't there an international MLB feed that Sportsnet uses? That's probably what would happen, or just the US feed with Jamie and Zaun in studio. They'd probably bring in Shi or somebody else if the Jays are there given they would want to take it up a notch from their usual stuff.

    Well, I was being a bit flippant, but they can certainly play a role in hurting the Yankees postseason hopes. Realistically, Jays still have their work cut out for them, as do the Yankees. It's not like the O's are fading, and Tampa is still lurking in the bushes.

    I said it would happen by Labour Day. Looks like I was being kind. The real question now is: Can the Jays knock the Yankees right out of postseason contention?
  11. Masterbather
    Jays will be in first place before Labour Day.

    About as much fun as it's been to be a Jays fan in two decades. This team has always been better than it's record indicates. Plus 100 in run differential and only a game above .500, that's insane. AA couldn't waste this team and IMO did what had to be done. I think it's the best team in the AL. Yankees are catchable, and the rest of the division is mediocre. If Stroman can return as the pitcher he was, this is a legit WC contender.
