Blue Jays GDT: *ALCS GM 3* vs CLE | Mon, Oct 17 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Bauer vs Stroman

[KPower]

Francona has already confirmed Kluber is going tomorrow

He did but if I was him I'd let a wet sock pitch tomorrow and save Kluber for game 5 if there was a miracle and Jays won tomorrow.

 

[TF97]

I can't wait to get rid of Saundo. That guy looks like a pitcher hitting

His pitcher-like hitting abilities in the first half were a big reason why the Blue Jays are in the playoffs right now. Oh, and lets not forget what he did just a few innings ago. Yes, he had a terrible second half but he is still a quality bat.

 

[Raging Bull]

No Miller?

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

Please tell me where you got this magical number of 60 games from. Besides, Devon may have had injury issues the last two seasons. But it has only been two seasons. It is unfair to compare someone to Lupul, who has been injury prone for much longer.

2 Seasons is 2 season either way. A bad knee lingers though out your whole career. Its not just a one year thing. It was a estimate I can see him playing anywhere from 60-120 games

 

[D3ADLY]

i wish we had speed on the bags too like last year. Martin really has been above poor (imagine that) with the bat and behind the plate. Everyone needs to step up from this point forward because it seems like Toronto players have accepted defeat. We have 9 outs to go in this game down 2 lets not throw this away.

 

[King Mapes]

Oh yeah Smoak will be back.

So we have our first baseman. Yes!

Lol I remember a guy in Fantasy told me one of his first years he would hit 40 homeruns on Seattle (yes Seattle).

 

[Daisy Jane]

(sigh). this team.

 

[Cor]

So you are saying that you do not give a **** about...

- A top 10 catcher
- A middle infielder who could be a 4 WAR player
- Arguably the best defensive outfielder in baseball

Martin is declining. It's fairly obvious.

Pillar is fantastic at making diving catches. His bat leaves something to be desired.

Travis, yeah, he could be added. But I'd use him in the right deal.

 

[Leafsdude7]

What kinda **** are you spinning here? You're not making any sense.

Bautista, Martin, Pillar, Upton and pretty much everyone else would have GIDP'd or struck out. At least EE, Donaldson and Tulo made contact that resulted in only single outs.

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

So we have our first baseman. Yes!

Lol I remember a guy in Fantasy told me one of his first years he would hit 40 homeruns on Seattle (yes Seattle).

He was touted at the time to be the next Texiera.. Clearly didnt turn out that way!!!

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Jays sucking, and the defenders are back at it. What else is new? A problem only gets addressed when you address it exists. But blind followers can't see that obviously.

 

[King Mapes]

Ya his splits are insane

Anyone have his first half vs 2nd half numbers?

 

[no13matssundin]

So is pretty clear now that the team has pooped the bed and the series is over. Was done when we turned their 5th starter Tomlin into Nolan Ryan. All that is needed it to make it official. Moving forward in the off-season:

1a. Bring back AA... but since that's not going to happen and we're gonna be stuck with Atkins/Shapiro...
1b. Sign EE
2. Let Bautista go. Let Saunders go. Let Upton go. (*Glares at Atkins/Shapiro*)
3. Let Pompey/Zeke fight for the 3rd outfielder spot bring someone else in for the 2nd outfieilder who can actually field and hit... like, yknow.. maybe a guy like, i dunno.... Revere... just sayin'... (*Glares at Atkins/Shapiro*)
4. Sign Votto whilst swallowing the vomit from having to pay his insane contract.
5. Bring in 2 new another Bullpen arms (Without re-trading the newly acquired Revere... *Glares at Atkins/Shapiro*) one lefty and one righty.. let the young'uns fight for the rest of the spots.
6. Bring back AA.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Two runs from Carrera and Saunders. And that's all we have ? Super bad. This series so far has been lost by Jose much more than anyone else. By a lot.

 

[TF97]

2 Seasons is 2 season either way. A bad knee lingers though out your whole career. Its not just a one year thing. It was a estimate I can see him playing anywhere from 60-120 games

His knee issue does not appear to be a major one. It is not like he had a Saunders-like knee injury. He should be good to go come the spring.

 

[Loosie]

No Miller?

If he's not in here they're saving him for the top of the order.

 

[Eyedea]

Bautista, Martin, Pillar, Upton and pretty much everyone else would have GIDP'd or struck out. At least EE, Donaldson and Tulo made contact that resulted in only single outs.

That's not a good thing! There's no 'relative' improvement there.

 

[Cor]

Never said they were untouchable but you said you wouldn't want them back.

What?

I said the rest are expendable, and I wouldn't care if they were moved.

Which is true.

 

[King Mapes]

Jays sucking, and the defenders are back at it. What else is new? A problem only gets addressed when you address it exists. But blind followers can't see that obviously.

We are a final 4 team so it's not like we are a bad team. Yes they're frustrating but people act like we are a bottom feeder.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I feel bad for pillar. His coaches tell him, don't swing at stupid ****! And then he always has borderline calls go against him in the zone. You can see his blood pressure riding when that happens lol.

 

[Raging Bull]

Interesting they wouldn't use Miller with 2 lefties coming up.

 

[King Mapes]

What?

I said the rest are expendable, and I wouldn't care if they were moved.

Which is true.

That's not what you said. You said "don't give a **** about the rest" which includes a 40 HR hitter and hit the walkoff WC game HR, a top 10 catcher and one of the best defensive OFers.

 

[Cor]

We are a final 4 team so it's not like we are a bad team. Yes they're frustrating but people act like we are a bottom feeder.

Or, people realize that this era is ending, and if we want to continue to be successful, we need to address the glaring issues with the team.


I don't care about 2nd place.

 

[Eyedea]

Tito is smart not using Miller here. Upton bomb was incoming.

 

[Leafsdude7]

And here comes...Allen?

Guess no Miller today?
