Blue Jays GDT: ('14 v13) Next Game: @TB |Fri, Jul 11| 7pm ET/4pm PT|Buehrle vs Archer

[Longshot]

Balfour living up to his name.

For a second I thought that was an Ed Belfour joke... lol I was like, wasn't Belfour a Hall of Famer?

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

The medicals on Balfour in the off-season pointed to this happening. O's were smart to walk away.

On the other hand, he'd fit in well with the Blue Jays bullpen.

Hiiiiyyyyyyooooooooooooo!!!

You mean the A's? O's let Johnson leave.

 

[LeafSadist]

Nice Jose

 

[Swervin81]

Unbelievable, we're actually getting ****** bloopers to land and have some luck on them.

 

[Eyedea]

The only thing I find disappointing about this is that I feel like we just used up all our luck in one game

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

O's were going to sign him, and backed away after a physical.

Cool. I didn't realize that.

This is typically the same thing that should happen to use in the bottom of the 9th here at tropicana. No lead is safe.

If it works that way, we're owed about a months worth. Accrued luck, we'll call it. (A little accounting joke).

I actually love Balfour. Love intense players.

Ya he has 25BB in 34ip before tonight.

The McGowan blowup is another reason why Soria makes a lot of sense for this team. Potentially losing Janssen in the offseason and Santos due to his pricey options, it makes Soria a very attractive piece for the Jays bullpen.

But, with Sanchez's newfound ability to throw strikes (and a lot early on in his starts), he could also fill a role in the pen down the stretch. Norris could also be pushed further to AAA.

O's had agreed to a contract with Grant then backed off citing injury concern.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels good man

 

[Eyedea]

That was a big win.

 

[Longshot]

Janssen.

See that other bullpen guys?

When you throw strikes you get outs.

Is it that hard to understand?

 

[Mitchy]

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

A win in spite themselves. I like it.

 

[dredeye]

Nice win tonight. I'd love them to some how find a way to beat price. That would be a beauty way to end the streak.

 

[Swervin81]

Dan Johnson with a 4 walk game. Love to see that kind of discipline. Hopefully it rubs off on the rest of the team.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Dan Johnson 4 walks in 4 plate appearances in his first game as a Jay. When as the last time a player made his debut with a team, played the full 9 inning game and walked in every plate appearance? Has it ever happened?
