and one of the best.

Well... yeah. But just being really good isn't automatically interesting.

Two ALCS appearances, individual player dominance, the relentless offense in 2015, the switch to a dominant rotation in 2016, the Donaldson trade, the deadline deals in 2015, the insane two month stretch in 2015, the batflip, the batdrop... the Jays have basically been a remarkably interesting team since the Marlins deal.

I mean, I was good until I saw Dwight Smith batting second...that just doesn't make any damn sense. How does giving your best hitter less at bats seem like a good idea. Bautista-Donaldson-Smoaker-Morales-the rest would've been fine.

Also, that bottom three is fire lol. Bunt sign is on for all three at all times for manager DJQ .

Martin is the new #2 hitter. DSJ is only in there tonight because Martin is off.

The top of our lineup has to be one of the slowest of all time

We're trying to get into the race, no way you can allow your bottom 3 to be Goins, Barney, Maile if you can help it. FFS, Gibby!

What other choice does he have? Do we have some all stars sitting on the bench that I dont know of?

How about don't rest this many regulars at the same time? This is not some August game where you are like 10 games up. You're trying to get back to .500. Where is the urgency?

Martin and Tulo are both coming off of injuries and Martin got banged up pretty good at the plate the other day. I'd rather them take a night off here and there to stay healthy than get injured and miss lengthy time

Does it really matter if Tulo and Pillar are benched? They've been detrimental to the offence.
