93 Jays

Even if Stroman hadn't been injured, They'd have had to use sanchez in the bullpen from the get go. His numbers last year were absolutely stellar and with how weak our bullpen seemed early on, they'd have had no choice but to use him out there. I love the kid, the amount of weak contact he induces is phenomenal considering his lack of command. Usually guys who struggle to find the zone, get absolutely mauled when they do find it. That in itself is an indicator to me that when he finds that release point on a consistent basis, he's going to be a great asset wherever he pitches. I held my breath when they made those trades just hoping to god they wouldn't trade him

I adore Stroman obviously and hopefully the rotation keeps pitching even close to the way it has. This will allow Stro to ease in, even if he's on a pitch limit, with a rested 8 man bullpen to back him up. Lately, our bullpen has only been needed for 2ip per start and if they stay even close to that, Stretching Stro out up here shouldn't hurt us in the least. By the time playoff time rolls around, he should be ready to go full out

I wonder why so many people feel this need to be "the authority" on who will become what and when. Sound like a busload of children really. There are a lot of people on here who know baseball ten time better than I do, I can admit that. I have my opinions on players as do others. I just don't understand the need to belittle others. Just flat out put them on ignore as I have. Put me on ignore if you think I'm an idiot. Sometimes I am. But one thing I refuse to do is be one of these doomsday fans who attack a player or the team as soon as they have a bad outing. But same thing, ignore those people if you feel they're not worth talking to or not on the same level you are. The fact that some posters continue to attack these people on a daily basis speaks volumes about the people who think they're so much better than those they belittle. Back on topic. Hutch will be fine. His problem is actually quite similar to that of sanchez. Command. The difference being Sanchez is wild outside of the zone resulting in walks. Hutch is missing his spots but instead of walks, we end up with fat meatballs out over the plate that end up hurting him. People forget that Hutch is just a kid and still learning himself. When he learns to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate, he will be just fine. When he gets the ball in on both righties and lefties, he doesn't get hit hard. He's young, he's missing his spots and getting frustrated. But don't give up on him because he's still 3 years out of his prime and really only has a year and a half experience altogether. Just like Sanchez, he shows flashes of brilliance and we should be happy to have them BOTH on our team. When Sanchez overcomes that mental block that causes him to come out of his delivery and lose his release point, he will make a very good front end starter IMO. But at this time, it is completely obvious to me that his value best suited to help this team is in the pen. Why f*** with an 8th and 9th inning that are solid now, that was a problem big time for us before? My two cents

This.

Holy crap this is some horrific defense

That was sooooo close

wow

safe or not, they'll out him

Had him on ignore since my first day here. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box for sure, but there's some stuff just not worth responding to and I can't be bothered wasting my time with such obvious ignorance

lol, yeah, all that bad luck and him not getting hit that hard. He'll come out of it though, I think he has the stuff to come out of it ok.

I said it in the Series thread. The whole series was having the tone set by Dickey in Game 1. As much as not one of them will admit it, they can hear the footsteps of this team coming and now they've felt those shoes kicking them in their ass

ONE f***ing run in 3 games and they had to go to instant replay to see if that even counted. LOL

Yeah, we've seen that one go right through Jose's legs one too many times. SWEEP. First time shut out yanks in back to back in 16 years? GO JAYS!

Is every game day thread like this with all the Jonestown doomsday whiners? Just tell me to go f*** a goat if I ever get like that.

Right along with you man, couldn't have said it better myself

Weak contact, weak contack and K. This kid doesn't need a high K rate, just to continue throwing that sinker down and getting weak contact AB after AB, If he could stop walking hitters, he'd make an excellent closer allowing Osuna into the rotation

Weak grounder again.

Yanks bullpen is pretty damn good str8 through. Knew they were good 1-4 but dayum

Cos u say so, go away troll

So does Cecil ATM and I'd rather go lefty against lefty with the hot hand in a pivotal game. I think Cecil was the better choice, you say Hawkins. Let it go now already even, it's a baseball game.

Good on Hawkins, don't hate anyone who still throws 95 at 42 years old. Still massively prefer Cecil in there against the other teams 8 and 9 hitters, especially the way Cecils been dealing lately. Glad it turned out well though. Like I said, Estrada deserves better than a no decision.

Actually, no?

Hahaha, I think it was still a bad move. And I hate Gibby for good reason(s). Just sayin'!

Thank goodness, yanks usually take advantage of those situations...plus Estrada deserves to win this f***ing game

Cannot give teams like the yanks an extra strike never mind an extra out. The out was nice but man oh man
