    Tulo looked a bit slow there, better than going all out, injuring himself and still being out though.
  2. Bobthe4th
    Nats were 15-1 up on the Brewers after 4 innings. Now in the 7th with the same scoreline.
  3. Bobthe4th
    This series is a reminder that we're in no way the worst team in the AL. Sure would suck to be an A's fan.
  4. Bobthe4th
    Both fielders were nowhere near the ball and did look like they'd given up on it.
  5. Bobthe4th
    Welcome to the board. Carrera is an adequate 4th outfielder and in that role he's providing some value especially considering his low salary. He's not a starter because he's not very good defensively, and his bat isn't elite enough to make up for it and therefore make him a must play.
  6. Bobthe4th
    TBF to Martin he looked like he just reacted in a WTF way to Stroman being ejected.
  7. Bobthe4th
    Manager, pitcher and catcher all ejected - not seen that before!
  8. Bobthe4th
    Assigned to New Hampshire. Hope he gets recalled to the majors soon, still carrying 8 relievers and at this point in the season giving prospects playing time is more important.
  9. Bobthe4th
    I don't think it's that simple. I think even people who think the playoffs are realistic next year (including me) realise that certain areas will need to be improved. Happ is relatively risky (old, and a pitcher) and only on a one year contract so trading him for fair value isn't necessarily indicating that we're giving up on next year, if a trade brings back at least one MLB ready player in a position of need.
  10. Bobthe4th
    Yeah I think we'll struggle getting 2-3 starters from free agency. There's not that many and we're obviously not the only ones who'll be interested. One internal, one trade, one free agent is more realistic.
  11. Bobthe4th
    I wouldn't trade Happ for lottery tickets but if an OK return included a near ready OF (for example) I'd pull the trigger. Even if Happ doesn't decline next season, he's only a mid rotation arm IMO. Short of blowing it all up we're not blessed with a surplus of tradeable assets.

    The free agent market is relatively weak this year - 2018 free agents You know we'll be targeting Jay Bruce /s
  13. Bobthe4th
    No injuries = success!

  15. Bobthe4th
    Well yeah, you're exaggerating but there's some truth to that. No one knows whether the Jays will be good enough for the playoffs next season. We need a combination of some new players (including prospects) doing well and at least a few players like Tulo and Sanchez to have better seasons.
  16. Bobthe4th
    TBF that's not what he is saying. He specifically says in the post you quoted "along with some returning players rebounding" and "Jays could get some meaningful contributions from guys like Gurriel and Alford".
  17. Bobthe4th
    Hey look on the bright side he's only 26!
  18. Bobthe4th
    Yeah rescuing a 5, then coming right back with birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie is impressive.
  19. Bobthe4th
    Sigh
  20. Bobthe4th
    Spieth is close to securing it now. That would be 3 out of 4 majors he's won already at 24 years old.
  21. Bobthe4th
    Avoid the sweep today, then sweep Oakland & the Angels, then make some good trades and ride the wave of optimism to the playoffs - easy! Who, am I kidding, let's be happy with getting through today with no more injuries!
  22. Bobthe4th
    Montero has been pretty bad so far, thought we finally had an OK backup catcher.

    So the deal is on the verge of collapsing but it was for Nick Burdi, a prospect projected to be a reliever, who is out for the rest of the year after Tommy John, and wasn't in the top ten prospects for the Twins. Yeah, we're getting basically nothing for Estrada or Liriano.
  25. Bobthe4th
    He's played more games at 2B than SS so far - really hoping he's a September call up and is at least next season's Barney / Goins replacement, if not a starter straight away. Still think his injury and missed time make that timeline a bit of a stretch unfortunately.
