    Yeah, you can think Stroman takes it too far sometimes and it has nothing to do with race. It’s not about tearing down a confident young black man, it’s about the fact that he’s a little much with it sometimes. There are probably a few bigots in this thread to be sure, but the hyper-sensitivity is a little much too. That said, on the whole, he gave Toronto a lot of good memories to be thankful for. I don’t mind him causing a ruckus on his way out, I wouldn’t like being treated the way he has been either. (Not saying management was wrong to ship him, but regardless of right or wrong I’d be pissed if I was loyal to the team and a great pitcher and I didn’t get approached about an extension and just got left in the dark knowing I was trade bait.) I hope he does well with the Mets, hopefully one of those prospects turns into something at least. Sucks to see him go with a full year left.

    Yep, this. Frustrating that Martin didn't have a better series, but not a reason on earth to be dissatisfied with what he continues to bring to the table. If he hits .225 without power next year we can talk then, but for now I'm not too worried. Jose, on the other hand, has always bothered me with his whining over pitches. His "shaking in the boots" comment was beyond ridiculous, but at the end of the day he's done a good service to the franchise, so I tip my hat, say thanks for the memories, good luck wherever you go next. I hope we QO him and don't get taken up on it, but I'd rather risk losing the picks than ending up with him next year.

    Didn't realize there was a day off tomorrow, makes sense.

    First post in a long time, just trying to understand (without being critical) why Osuna here?
  5. Treeplant
    If the Jays knew there was a chance Loup wouldn't be available again this series (again, presumably has to be a family illness or something of the sort), why have him on the roster? That's a huge risk and it may have cost us a shot at coming back this game.

    There's not much needed to put the team over the top versus what we see here other than perhaps boosting our bullpen. This is a World Series caliber team whether we actually make it there or not. These are the breaks we face. Price hasn't been his regular season self. Dickey gave us 1/2 good starts (and even today's game wasn't out of hand until the bizarre Hawkins/Tepara thing happened). We lost Cecil to a fluke tear. Loup has been gone with personal issues. Bats have gone a bit colder than expected, but still not that bad. Estrada and Stroman have given us enough. Taken as a whole, our big 3 have produced.

    Pennington outpitching Hawkins tonight wasn't something I expected.
  9. Treeplant
    Agreed that's preferable, but it's incredibly difficult. I'll take what we've got rather than languishing in mediocrity. I think we look alright for a few years to come with a few moves anyway.

    You don't get many shots at a World Series in this league. AA put together a roster that most sports outlets have predicted to win the World Series heading into the playoffs. You can't ask more than that. Whatever happens with the prospects traded happens. We are in the ALCS with a lineup that isn't overmatched. You take risks to get here. Hopefully it works out, but if it doesn't, I for one will have no regrets.

    Barry Davis makes everything so much worse.
  12. Treeplant
    And shadows.
  13. Treeplant
    I wish there were more shadows and wires to help us win. Without the shadows and wires we don't look too good.

    Gentlemen, this game is not over and the Royals went to their pen earlier than we did. If Price gets out of this inning it's a new ball game.
  15. Treeplant
    Interesting Price is still in.
  16. Treeplant
    I think the error is in Goins' head like it was for Elvis last series. I'm worried about what happens if the ball is hit to him now.

    The wiiiiirrrreeee...

    Anyone have a link to a pitchtracker that you can search online?
  19. Treeplant
    Didn't want to show the pitch tracker on that one.
  20. Treeplant
    Stay tuned after the game for a broadcast of the 1994 classic film "The Shadow".

    Yeah, this crew has what seems to be more of anti-Jays bias than a pro-Royals bias. Saw it in the last series too. They don't know the Jays, Canada in the World Series isn't good for ratings, so they want to see one of the American teams make it through. Can't blame them really, but it IS super annoying listening to these guys instead of Buck and Pat. Oh well. Thankfully they don't impact what actually happens on the field. If I hear Reynolds going off about switching signals again like the other games though lol I'm going to mute it for a while.
  22. Treeplant
    These games happen. Too bad it got away, but not much to panic over. Jays were patient at times, got on base, had a couple of innings where they had a shot, didn't make it happen. Game 2 tomorrow. Let's see how Price does, hopefully he gets some early run support.
  23. Treeplant
    Yeah this is exactly how I felt too.
  24. Treeplant
    Lol, touche. Well I believe he hit something like .290 in August/September, so he came into the playoffs hitting much better than he did to start the year. My guess is that he'll calm down a bit after making it through this series, be a little more patient, and at least crank out a few hits this next series. To put a random number on it I'd guess he hits .195 this next series instead of .000 this past series.
  25. Treeplant
    As great as he was with the glove, he was as bad with the bat this past series. Seemed like he made a lot of progress by the end of the season at the plate that went out the window in the ALDS. Not only a lack of production, but he had some pretty awful looking at bats. Does he bounce back at the plate this series or not? And if he doesn't, will it matter?
