Blue Jays GDT: (2017 v5.0) @ TB |Tue, Aug 22| 7pmET/4pmPT |Rowley vs Archer

[MJ65]

I have always considered myself to be a die heart Jays fan but as soon as the team go down by 5 or 6 runs in the 1st three innings I get so upset / frustrated that I stop watching the game - may be I am not

 

[ShaneFalco]

Need a hit here Pearce

Garbage

 

[dredeye]

Jays doing what they do best. Leaving men on base. Horrible

They've had every opportunity to get back into this one

 

[Northernguy10]

Could be 1-0 ..Donaldson's throw enabled 4 runs to score that wouldn't have and Tulo going to first instead of 3rd on the ground ball resulted in another run that should have been prevented. Two plays that changed the complexion of the game entirely (so far)...Donaldson made a great play but unfortunately threw it away but it shows how quickly and easily a game can turn.

We just know the team is not coming back at that point.

 

[Cloned]

Someone should tie Pillar's hands together when he comes up with the bases loaded, and only untie them once the count hits 2 strikes.

 

[dredeye]

Who the **** is Harrell?

 

[PG Canuck]

The Jays are playing like roadkill. Blowout after blowout. What's the point anymore? What are they accomplishing with this roster?

 

[PG Canuck]

It's not over until the fat lady sings.

Are we going to say this every blowout?

 

[PG Canuck]

Hahahahah wow

 

[hoglund]

Are we going to say this every blowout?

no, I think the fat lady has sung, but to be fair exactly how many blowouts have the Jays lost? my guess is 5 or fewer.

 

[Daisy Jane]

15 nothing?
holy Smoaks.

 

[Marshy]

So.... TDL should be fun

 

[ToneDog]

Time to blow it up good. Wait I hear Wilner disagreeing and claiming they still have a shot at the WC. Is there anybody in the media that has less credibility than Mike Wilner ?

I'm not sure, to be fair, they are still in contention for the wild card with half the season left, but things are not looking good, I think blowing it up might be a little over reaction and a little irrational. I'd keep Stroman, Sanchez and Donaldson, but trading everyone and starting from scratch doesn't make much sense.

It's starting to become more common now. This team is done.

Most teams have a 'shot' at the WC but the likelihood of the Jays being one of those teams is very low. You trade the upcoming FAs getting the best value for them. Unless there is a deal that blows you away you keep the rest.

 

[dredeye]

Is it just me or has Tepera been pretty awful of late. Loup' numbers took a hell of a hit from his brutal line today. I also don't get his line from today gave up two hits no walks but was somehow charged with 3 earned runs and gave up four total? I guess the Donaldson error showing could account for one of them. Still doesn't make sense. I'm not watching just looking at the boxscore

 

[HockeyThoughts]

Lol what the hell was that throw by Barney?

I don't know how they've thought it was acceptable to roll with that platoon at 2B for this long. It sucks

 

[RayzorIsDull]

They have lost 14 games by 5+ runs.

Is that you Mike ? (JK) Seriously this team is scoring challenged without the help of the long ball. I would move Donaldson because I do not believe Rogers will be able to pay for him to stay. I would listen to offers for Stro, Sanchez and Osuna. Washington might be looking for a closer and SS. Maybe we can trade them Osuna and force them to take Tulo if they have any quality prospects. Cubs and Brewers might also be desperate for a quality starter and might overpay.

 

[ToneDog]

They have lost 14 games by 5+ runs.

It is now 19-0 !!!! Wilner thinks we can get 3 converted TDs in the bottom of the 9th to win it. LOL

 

[hoglund]

They have lost 14 games by 5+ runs.

Winning by 5 runs isn't a blow out, a blow out is winning by 9 or more, like today and last Friday. For example 6- 1 or 5 - 0 are solid wins, but by no means a blow out.
