Blue Jays Discussion: Trade deadline: Aug 31 (no, not that one. The other one. The waiver one)

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh man, I wish I could have watched today's game. Reading through game thread after the game is pretty entertaining, though.

It was hilarious to read during the game.

93 likely wins the division again.

Royals Red Sox game should be good.

 

[Discoverer]

So many dramatic posters during game day threads. It's ridiculous.

My favourite posts are the negative ones where the posters don't come back when things start going well. It seems like pretty transparent trolling.

Was that Osuna or Cueto? I liked the little shimmy delays he was throwing out there.

I like the pick up of Navarro. He was clutch at times last year. A definite upgrade on thole. thole can still catch dickey the rest of the season because of the roster expansion. Then they'll be probably done if the Jays make the playoffs. Excellent!

He sure wasn't "clutch" in the post season last year. If I remember correctly he didn't get a hit throughout the playoffs

 

[canucksfan]

2-1 Sox. Royals just scored one

 

[canucksfan]

Watching the Sox broadcast and Eckersley is a dumbass.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Looks like the Royals won't be doing the Jays any favours tonight.

7-2 Red Sox

I almost don't mind the sox winning. Puts a big dent in seeing the royals again.

Osuna seems to be doing that alot more now. Regular delivery. Quick pitch. Regular. Quick. Etc. It can definitely be effective if there isn't a pattern. Taking a page out of Japanese pitchers playbooks.

Let's take care of our division first and then think out of division. The Royals don't even scare me. They're not the same team as last year.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I mention that this team doesn't seem like one that can come back from pretty much any deficit like last year, then they go and do it

This team can't make the playoffs!

What, in his 8 ABs?

Also what a game yesterday. Upton has been great.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Upton has really come around
4th OF? I'd rather have him out in the field over JB and MS

Damn Yankees. They look like they've stumbled onto another Hall of Fame type of talent.

Or a flash in the pan

The Navarro move seems to make sense because I doubt Dickey would even start for the Blue Jays in the post season the way the starting staff is set up. Dickey could still be real handy to eat innings if there is a bad start or an extra inning game.

Thole won't be on the playoff roster just like he wasn't last year.

Not that Estrada needs "help" or anything, but Estrada and Navarro have great chemistry, so it should give him a boost.

Good point
They did work really together and it's worth a shot to get him back on track

Any interest in any of these guys?
