Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v10 | Next: Mon, Sept 6| @ NYY | 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT | Ryu vs Taillon

[Man Bear Pig]

Huh. I kind of wondered if the Jays might go after Polanco. Then I looked at his stats and realized he's been turrrible for most of the last 3 years. By the stat line he was an absolute train wreck defensively this year.

Hes been atrocious. Who's he replacing? Valera?or is it straight to Buffalo?

 

[Cloned]

They also signed Luciano again so that’s a thing.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Pinch hitting with Valera?

Gotta get that .534 OPS into the lineup.

 

[canucksfan]

Montoyo is an idiot. Jansen has been hitting well.

Dickerson hits for smith and Jansen hits

I hope the next 5 years after this one are not going to be like this with Springer, FFS!

 

[phillipmike]

Dyson in for Springer.

5 more years of this?

 

[Marshy]

Running fast and putting the brakes on. Ohhhhhhh-kaaaaay.

Jays medical staff really sucks.

 

[habamillions]

Just sit out the rest of the season springer. Its a lost season anyways. Get healthy. Come back in march. Hope its not 5 more seasons of this. Sucka because team is way better with him in the lineup

 

[Northernguy10]

Springer didn't look comfortable in his last at bat...not surprised,,,sigh

 

[mikeyz]

This might be a knee jerk reaction unpopular take. But I really think that the Jays need to consider trading Springer at some point this winter while they can still get value for him.

I think he's damaged goods and will only continue to get injured over the next 5 years of his contract as he gets older.

 

[The Nemesis]

Hes been atrocious. Who's he replacing? Valera?or is it straight to Buffalo?

They said he was signed to a minor league contract so he likely goes to Buffalo to see if the coaches can sort him out a bit. Perhaps he comes up as a September call-up or maybe this is a goodwill play to see if he'll want to come back next spring and fight for a spot on the big club if they offer him a chance to work on his faults right now.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Grich should be done in Toronto after this season. He is not good.

 

[The Nemesis]

Breyvic Valera to save us in the 9th inning. Just like Charlie would want it.

 

[The Nemesis]

Grich should be done in Toronto after this season. He is not good.

I have to wonder if that's part of why they picked up Polanco. He wouldn't be signed for next year but he could be a head-start on a depth OF reclamation project if they dump Grichuk and need someone else to be a 4th/5th OF. Or maybe things go crazy good and he rebounds to his better form and becomes a serviceable 3rd OF. Who knows. It's a nice low-cost lottery ticket to have.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Valera getting two at-bats in a must-win game is the definition of Charlies managing.

 

[The Nemesis]

Valera getting two at-bats in a must-win game is the definition of Charlies managing.

Win or lose Charlie still wins.

 

[MS]

That loss is probably the season. Absolutely had to sweep Baltimore.

 

[Marshy]

At least we won't have to watch this offence face playoff calibre pitching.

 

[Cloned]

The entire offense taking a steep nosedive in August is concerning. I still think a big part of it is due to their approach, but maybe there’s more to it than that.

 

[Marshy]

Grichuk is stealing money.

 

[habamillions]

Losing to baltimore and detroit. Or barely beating them. Cant wait to see how this team does whem they face oakland,tampa and the yankees in september.

 

[stickty111]

This team is not there yet

 

[trellaine201]

How does an offense that was so good fall off a cliff and is still falling? Mind boggling.

 

[Marmoset]

That loss is probably the season. Absolutely had to sweep Baltimore.

I think the season was over 2-3 weeks ago barring a 2015 type of run, but this definitely seals it.
