Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v21) Next: @ NYY| Mon, Aug 15| 7pmET/4pmPT | Dickey vs Green

[KarmaPolice]

They get a lead-off hit, of course. Why can't we do that?

 

[no13matssundin]

So... Tepera.

 

[Morgs]

Wow what a play

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh my god. What a game.

 

[Puckstuff]

Espn had an article about smoak?

yeah lol.

titled

IS JUSTIN SMOAK OVERRATED?

Many likely wouldn't rate Smoak highly, but David Schoenfield finds it suspect that a first baseman with a career OPS+ below the league average for all hitters has been in the league for so long. Most overrated players (Insider)

You have to have an "Insider" subscription to read

 

[Swervin81]

Oh god, it's Dennis Herpes Ryan Tepera.

Wow, how the **** did Tepera just make that play. Holy crap, that was beautiful.

 

[no13matssundin]

Tepera NOT gunna Tepera? Nice play, young man!

 

[mikeyz]

So we have:
Automatic out
Travis
Donaldson

as our last hope. Have to hope Travis can get a double. Or maybe a single, and steal. Thole should be taking pitches the entire way. Try to get a walk. Don't even bother swinging, dude; you're not hitting anything.

I am pretty sure Martin will PH for Thole.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Why Tepera when the game is still only a 1 run game? This offense, while struggling, still can explode and can happen any inning. What a STUPID decision to begin with. Just stupid, stupid, stupid. But I'm not surprised, with this management.

 

[Bad News Benning]

I'm not replacing an established major league player with a double A prospect during a run for a division title.

And Smoak won't continue getting these kinds of at bats when everybody is healthy (assuming they all return soon). He will go back to being largely a bench player/defensive replacement.

which established major league player is Tellez taking bats away from? I don't see one.

Smoak shouldn't be getting AB's even right now is my point. He needs to go to AAA and figure out how to hit.

 

[Loosie]

Ya, Martin, Travis, Donaldson at least gives us a chance, if Tepera can keep the Yankees of the board here.

 

[Fantomas]

Is pinch hitting for Thole impossible?

 

[KarmaPolice]

I am pretty sure Martin will PH for Thole.

Should've played FOR Thole. Gibby's obsession with ONLY playing Dickey with Thole is beyond stupid.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

Man we are not hitting well lately......Upton has to break out soon?

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

yeah lol.

Who is overrating Smoak?? Everyone knows he's terrible.

 

[Josh92]

I wonder what it would take to get gardiner or ellsbury? I doubt it would ever happen because we re rivals but considering they are left handed corner outfield contact hitters atlims should at least enquire. Then rotate edwin and jose between 1st and dh and send smoak home.

 

[frost king]

Martin broke down last year catching Dickey, so who would you propose we use to catch his games?

I bet you could get Ellsbury for nothing if you took his entire contract....which no one would do. Not to mention he really isn't that good anymore.

Well and if he's catching Dickey that means he's not catching someone else...that whole needs a day off and everything.

 

[Suntouchable13]

All night long.

 

[no13matssundin]

I feel like we're gonna win this thing.

 

[Fantomas]

Oh god, it's Dennis Herpes Ryan Tepera.

Tepera about to regress to mean.

Get another catcher that doesn't suck completely. It's not brain surgery.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Man we are not hitting well lately......Upton has to break out soon?

Upton can hit Lefties but is useless against righties. We badly need a lefty OF bat that doesn't suck. Jon Jay would be a nice add if he's healthy by the august deadline. Otherwise you gotta call up Pompey and give him starts against Righties.

Backup catchers usually suck.
