Blue Jays GDT: ('14 v4) Next Game: @Pit| Fri, May 2 |7pm ET/4pm PT| B.Morrow vs G.Cole

[Bure All Day]

Are you delusional???

We are 7th in the league in Runs Scored, while playing fewer games than many of the teams ahead of us. We have the highest fielding % in the entire league. It's our pitching, and our pitching alone that is the downfall of this team, and has been for years. A few good changes there and we are a great team.

Think of that 10 game win streak we had last year. It was because we were pitching well finally, and the rest of the team was clicking like they usually are.

 

[Canada4Gold]

another couple errors and we might have a chance.

 

[TF97]

Here comes a K for KKKKolby

 

[Canada4Gold]

we need HRasmus to show up not KKKolby

 

[p.l.f.]

Its up to the great Colby Rasmus

 

[Del Preston]

Mass firings.

 

[EpochLink]

It's so cold in the D

 

[TF97]

Pretty depressing to think that we should be going for the sweep tomorrow

 

[Woodman19]

At least our pitchers have good stuff...

 

[dredeye]

So do the jays send loup down and call Wagner back up. He's hot options and isn't deserving of a spot either. I can believe just how horrible out bullpen is as a whole. Starters start pitching better so time for the bullpen to pick up the slack in being absolutely horrible

 

[grog]

If you haven't noticed, it's the pitching, and more specifically the bullpen that has been our kryptonite this year. Last year the bullpen was our strong-suit.

Yes, it is completely unpredictable that the two or three stars from last years pen would come back to earth and that they would be overworked again with this group of starters. Because, you know, they never admitted to needing more pitching right?

 

[Swervin81]

Haven't seen this bad of a pen and closer since BJ Ryan in 2008.

What?
Loup was really good last season. He's had a few rough outings this season but to say he isnt deserving of a spot is outright hilarious.

Send down Redmond or get rid of Rogers.

 

[grog]

Where are the people who said it was early last year and watched the Jays piss the season away and then continued to say it's early this season?? After tonight we're going to be 4 games under .500 and 13 games under .500 in total since last season began..This fascination and idea that this team is good needs to stop. This team was overhyped and hasn't delivered at all plain and simple. Blow it up

Some people confuse a lack of intellect for optimism, for which there was never any realistic reason.

Morrow to the 60 day DL. Torn tendon

So it begins

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Mass firings.

It may come to that but the players are awful. There isn't a manager out there that could make this a playoff team.

Haha
And people told me this offseason the guy isnt injury prone

Big shock... Pitcher with no command and increased velocity. Where have we seen this befor?

Yeah it is. There's no explanation for it. We are missing Janssen so that's part of it, but still. Not sure what your point is though. Pitching is our problem and we need to find a way to improve it. Not sure why you're being sarcastic with me, we all realize what the problem is.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Can the bullpen's struggles be attributed to something as simple as no longer having Hentgen as bullpen coach? This is ridiculous.

Bring up Tomo Ohka I bet.

Blue Jays To Call Up Marcus Stroman

Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis 12m
Stroman called up. Will pitch out of pen for now

Can they just DFA him? It will obviously be more than 60 days. Conservative estimate.

To start in the bullpen, because for some reason Happ deserves a rotation spot.

This week just keeps getting better
