Yeah, a swap with Travis.

Yeah, this ump's a knob.

Same, although Biagini had him out on a K. Flippin' ump.

I hope Pillar gets it together again... he's like 2 for his last 32 or something, IIRC.

Attaboy Joe!

That was a strike blue?

Lets Cruise Joe!

Looking at AL OF'ers, Gardner has a case for the ASG.

No s***, not so eloquent mate.

I'm laughing at everyone starting the sell, sell, sell threads and posts in which I laughed at knowing there's 5 more months of ball to be played. This team is too good, period.

Ok... that wasn't the point of me posting that?

Whatever that means, lol.

Muahahahaha... By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com | @feinsand | June 2nd, 2017 + 1 COMMENT Our first Trade Deadline Power Rankings for June isn't as notable for the names on the list as much as it is for those that are nowhere to be found. For the first time since early April, no member of the Blue Jays appears in our rankings -- a sign that Toronto's season has turned around in a major way. Francisco Liriano, Jose Bautista, Marco Estrada and Josh Donaldson have each appeared here during the first four installments, but the Blue Jays' red-hot month -- Toronto went 20-10 from April 29-May 31 -- has them flirting with the .500 mark after a dreadful 6-17 start. Even after Thursday night's lopsided loss to the Yankees, the Blue Jays sit only 6 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East. Some industry insiders believe that with their rotation healthy once again and both Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki back in the lineup following their respective stint on the disabled list, it's not crazy to think Toronto will be the biggest threat to New York in the division. "The Blue Jays are the most complete team in the division," one team executive said. "The fact that they've hung around in that race after the way they started, they're going to be dangerous." So while teams such as the Royals, Phillies, Marlins, Giants and Padres might be formulating their plans to sell off pieces at the non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Blue Jays may finally have some other things in mind as the season enters its third month.

Hey guys, can I have Freeland removed from my farm, he's still on there.

Blue Jays Lineup... 1. Kevin Pillar ® CF 2. Josh Donaldson ® 3B 3. Jose Bautista ® RF 4. Kendrys Morales (S) DH 5. Justin Smoak (S) 1B 6. Troy Tulowitzki ® SS 7. Devon Travis ® 2B 8. Darwin Barney ® LF 9. Luke Maile ® C Joe Biagini RHP Biagini had a pretty big breakthrough in his last outing. He reached career highs in innings (six) and pitches (95) and allowed just two runs. This will be his sixth start, and he's no longer on a strict pitch count. Yankees Lineup... 1. Brett Gardner (L) LF 2. Aaron Hicks (S) CF 3. Aaron Judge ® RF 4. Matt Holliday ® DH 5. Starlin Castro ® 2B 6. Didi Gregorius (L) SS 7. Chase Headley (S) 3B 8. Austin Romine ® C 9. Rob Refsnyder ® 1B Jordan Montgomery LHP Montgomery is coming off his shortest outing of 2017, a 4 1/3 inning affair that required 100 pitches. The rookie has struggled with deep counts, but has walked one or fewer batters in three of his last four starts. PREVIEW... By Keegan Matheson / MLB.com The Blue Jays and Yankees will send Joe Biagini and Jordan Montgomery to the mound on Saturday afternoon for their third of four games at Rogers Centre this series. This should be the first start in which Biagini is able to push a full starter's workload after being stretched out from a bullpen role. Inserted into the rotation in early May as Toronto dealt with multiple starters on the DL, Biagini completed six innings his last time out and reached a new high of 95 pitches. Biagini's final bullpen outing before the switch came against New York, who got to the right-hander for three runs on four hits over 1 2/3 innings. Toronto manager John Gibbons doesn't see that outing, or any past performances, impacting Biagini on his start days. "I don't even think Joe realizes that, to be honest with you, knowing Joe," Gibbons said. "He's pitched pretty good. The last time he faced the Yankees, we were stretching him out anyways, and they got him late. I don't think it matters to Joe." Montgomery has enjoyed mixed levels of success in his rookie season with the Yankees, but the future looks very bright for the 24-year-old left-hander. Over his first nine starts, Montgomery owns a 4.11 ERA while staying in line with his career strikeout averages, averaging 8.6 per nine innings. In his last start against Baltimore, Montgomery allowed eight hits over 4 1/3 innings, but he limited the damage to one earned run with five strikeouts. Saturday will be his first career start against the Blue Jays Things to watch for in this game • Montgomery spreads his pitch selection very evenly, making him a unique pitcher in that regard. Beyond his fastballs, Montgomery has thrown 167 changeups, 152 curveballs and 149 sliders to keep opposing hitters guessing. His most effective pitch to date has been the slider, which has produced a .163 opponents' batting average, .245 opponents' slugging percentage and 22.8 percent whiff rate. • Toronto catcher Russell Martin was held out of Friday's game with a neck issue, and his status for Saturday's matinee is not known. Gibbons said that this is not the same nerve issue in Martin's neck and shoulder that forced him to the DL earlier this season. Martin had really started to lock in at the plate recently, hitting home runs in two of his last three games against Cincinnati.

Yeah just looked it up, on roster resource, AA move?

How did we lose him? Edit: Signed as a FA Dec '16... wonder if AA's fingerprints are on that.

He was good when I paid that for him... now he's just warming a spot until I get some arms back.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yikes... that's rough.

My Lord, Spittin', lol.

Osuna Matata! Great job Birds!

Nice Smitty!

What's he doing? *sighs*

Nice Travis.
