OT: Blue Jays Thread III

[SDig14]

You mean like Buffalo?

Wow he's been awful. Such a disappointment.

He's been bad so far, no doubt. It was the NFL with a bunch of non guaranteed cash, he could have been released already.

I still think Cecil will be fine and likely go on a great run, so he only needs to be a 7th inning guy hopefully.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Have to win tonight and tomorrow.

It doesn't get much easier than Jake Peavy and Matt Cain. 2 of the worst starting pitchers in the majors.

They've allowed a combined 58 runs in 60 innings....

 

[0ilerman]

Woohoo the Jays are in Cali! I love Jays in 30, but can't beat live baseball at a time when I can actually tune in

Wednesday: Stroman Vs. Bumgarner. CANT WAIT

guess I'll have to watch at work

Not going to admit I was wrong about JA Happ yet but boy does he look good.

The offense still sucks. A combined 7 runs against 2 of the worst starers in the majors does not bode well going up against one of best starters in the majors today.

 

[SDig14]

The only positive is we have our ace going up against an offense struggling even worse than us.

I thought Cain was quite good locating last night, so I don't blame them too much.

Monday night Peavy looked awful, but they couldn't seem to cash in early and they let him hang around too long.

Let's hope a lefty pitcher gets them going if MadBum is off at all.

That White Sox-Rangers series was great. White Sox manage 16 runs their last two games with no wins, nuts.

Nats-Tigers series has been great too. Tigers playing some ball this season. Upton a big signing for them.

Now Toronto battle Texas next. That will be a close series as usual. The boys from Texas aren't letting up.

 

[McDNicks17]

Storen made it through an inning without giving up a run.

Praise the baseball gods!


Tepara, on the other hand, showed why he's the last resort in the pen. I even joked to my friend that he was going to throw two more pitches in the exact same spot at 2-0 haha.

 

[SDig14]

Oh well, another series win.

Hopefully put a few series wins together now.

Offense still isn't there but the pitchers have been so good it doesn't have to be great yet.

I'm also glad we are done with Texas so early again this year, they seem to get better as the season goes on. We seem to play well in Texas too.

 

[Muscles Glasses]

It's irrelevant now, but I probably would have tried and stretched out Floyd for at least another inning. He only threw 22 pitches, and they were going into a off day anyways.

I didn't see it, and I would probably agree, but I wonder how many days in a row was he used before that last outing? I'm sure that factored in.

Eitherway, you try and trust the arms you have, and sometimes they let you down...then you send them down.

Barney and Tulowitzki weren't very good in the field yesterday. Giants never should have gotten close to four runs. With Tulowitzki you wonder if his struggles at the plate are starting to follow him out into the field now. They weren't last year. I also wish he'd throw that old broken down glove away. That's cost him a few times this year.

He had one days rest and pitched in three of four days prior to the rest.

I'm guessing that even with an off-day today, they didn't want to overwork him since he's probably their best reliever right now. They'll likely need him tomorrow with Dickey pitching.

Tulo definitely had some facepalm moments, but the ball was bouncing really weird off that turf.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Texas is on fire. Not a good time to be facing them in their park.

Dickey will surely lose the opener. I guess we hope for a split in the last two with Estrada and Sanchez.

 

[lakai17]

I was a big fan of Tulo in Colorado until his reaction to being traded to Toronto. Especially at the time with how the Jays were doing ompared to the Rockies.

 

[lakai17]

Keep your eye on the Red Sox. 40 runs scored in their last 3 games, poor Oakland.

there is why.

 

[SDig14]

there is why.

Another 11 tonight against Keuchel.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Another 11 tonight against Keuchel.

Only 8 vs Keuchel. But this is not the same Keuchel who went 20-8 last year. He and the Astros are struggling big time. He is 2-5 with a 5.58 era right now.

True. It's also been 65 years since a team has scored 11+ runs 4 games in a row.

At that point who the pitchers are become a bit irrelevant.

 

[SDig14]

I still think the Red Sox rotation is utter trash, but I was expecting their offense to be good this year and don't think they're gonna fall apart later in the year.

Unsustainable pace right now, but I'm sure they'll score similar amount of runs to the Yankees last year or maybe even more.

 

[lakai17]

Astros were very pathetic only years ago barely squeezing out 50 wins, I am not too surprised with them.

Cubs haven't had a run in 14 straight innings, I expect their bats to come out this afternoon.

 

[0ilerman]

Jose Reyes suspended today violating domestic violence policy of MLB. As excited as I was when he first signed with the Jays, his time in Toronto was terrible. Constantly injured and always more worried about off field antics than performing inside the lines.

Even though Tulo hasn't found his stroke yet, what a day and night difference in defensive ability and overall professionalism that he brings to the lineup.

 

[SDig14]

Let's tee off on Perez tonight.

Looking for JD to continue his hit streak from last game and do same damage.
