Blue Jays Discussion: Saunders > Bruce; Tulo and Bautista trade DL spots

[Epictetus]

Machado dropped his appeal, so he'll start serving his suspension Sunday.

Also, Ventura suspension reduced to 8 games. Not sure how that's a thing, since his appeal wasn't even heard yet. Anyway, since it was reduced to 8 games, he'll drop his appeal. Guessing there was some kind of deal, you drop your appeal and we'll reduce your suspension by one game?

 

[Rysto]

It's utterly ridiculous that players can time their suspensions by making appeals that they have no intention of actually going through with.

 

[Eyedea]

The obsession with using grilli is tight games is a joke.

Yes because the two runs the Jays put up were enough to win the game.

 

[The Nemesis]

because someone asked about run support #s in the GDT before it closed:


Expressed as Runs of support per 9 innings pitched

1) Happ - 6.32
2) Sanchez - 6.31
3) Stroman - 5.92
4) Dickey - 3.74
5) Estrada - 3.71

in terms of raw runs of support, it goes Sanchez, Happ, Stroman, Estrada, Dickey. But that's going to have some differences in value based on total IP (which ranks Stroman, Sanchez, Happ, Estrada, Dickey, but the whole group sits in a span of about 5 innings)

 

[ShaneFalco]

Hutch 6 IP, 4 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk, 10 K's

His Buffalo ERA down to 2.87

He's looking good!

 

[ShaneFalco]

Does Thole finish the year hitting under a buck?

 

[TootooTrain]

So it's getting to that time where we start thinking all star candidates. From the Jays JD and EE should be locks. After that you could rationalize Estrada and perhaps Sanchez (although he could really use the break to rest)

Happ was probably right in there but hasn't been AS good lately

Estrada is more of a lock than JD or EE. He has been consistent all year, unlike the other 2. Estrada is going for sure, barring an injury. He has been dominant. For me, it's: Estrada, Saunders, Donaldson, and EE.

Having said that, I couldn't really care less about the ASG. I'd rather no Jays go and rest up.

Saunders has been the best offensive outfielder in baseball, so him too.

I can't see how they can leave EE off AS team with him leading the majors in RBI.

But then how many DH will they have with Ortiz being a lock.

 

[Morgs]

On June 17th, yeah.

 

[TootooTrain]

Saunders has been relatively consistent, but he has kicked it into another gear of late. We shall see where he ends up. There are so many deserving AL outfielders. Would be a nice reward though considering everything in the last year and a bit.

 

[Canada4Gold]

On June 17th, yeah.

Well you know, we are talking all star game, which the players get chosen for halfway through the year. He for sure should be on it.

It's not like the comment was made 1 day into the season, saying Saunders is batting 1.000, he's a lock for the all star game. It's a 2.5 months comment on something that's decided on a sample of 3 months.

 

[Loosie]

Zaun's not wrong with this roast today.

Yup. I can't stand Zaun but he ****ing nailed it today.

Thanks for the info!

Pompey on the Bisons DL with a concussion

He's implying he was the best outfielder on June 17th and that's it (his 3 HR game). Trying to be funny.

With that said, Saunders has been a big boost to this team. We keep randomly finding guys like this.

 

[King Mapes]

It is funny how we got him for Happ and then turn around and sign Happ like 10 months later and now they are both doing very well for us when neither were much at the time of the trade.

He's worth of the all-star game for sure, I just don't think he's been the best offensive outfielder in baseball... (Other than the past week or so).

Guess I'm not as funny as I thought

 

[LaPlante94]

Zaun's not wrong with this roast today.

What he say? Missed the pre game

 

[Longshot]

Saunders was a "random" find?

Last time I checked the Jays traded a major league rotation pitcher (whom they then signed as a FA a year later) to get him.

 

[Dr.Funk]

He layed it out that Ichiro is NOT the hit king.
