OT: 2015 Toronto Blue Jays (and general MLB) Thread

[GAMO1992]

man this team is SO deadly up and down the line-up. Anyone is a danger to hit one.
I remember not even 2 years ago when the bottom of our line-up was pitiful, could barely get on base and the only time they got hits were probably from HR's.

This team is just SO dynamically better.

 

[GAMO1992]

5-2 Jays!!

 

[Anglesmith]

Now we're cruising.

 

[GAMO1992]

Put the nail in the coffin here Joey Bats!

 

[Anglesmith]

Poor pitcher...

Edwing tied for the longest hit streak in the MLB this season.

 

[Lunatik]

Edwin! I ****ing love this team!

Wasn't too long ago both he and Bautista were both hitting .234 now Edwin is pushing.265/.270

I love this team.

 

[Lunatik]

That was a real nice double play

 

[Anglesmith]

That was a real nice double play

Yeah. Did you hear that stat about the team record with Goins in the lineup?

I still want Travis next year, but I'm not desperate anymore. Goins is awesome.

 

[Anglesmith]

Getting pretty tough to watch Martin trying to bat right now.

I love Goins but I think the 2 are at the very least even defensively (I still prefer Travis though) and Travis is clearly better at the plate. Also we have to consider a very large chunk of that record with Goins in the lineup has been post deadline, so it is skewed some because of that.

Next year I want An infield of Donaldson, Tulo, Travis & Edwin with Goins as the backup middle infielder (I also think he could play 3B if needed) and Smoak as the backup 1st baseman.

In the outfield I'd like to run with Revere, Pillar, Saunders with Bautista as the 4th outfielder and regular DH

I can't help but wonder if he's got some nagging injury with how he's played and all the days off he's been getting

 

[GAMO1992]

My goodness when we are on, we are on FIYA!!!!
12-4....not even fair..

It's plenty fair, the Rangers are fighting for a playoff spot

He is but he was supposed to be better now.

 

[Lunatik]

He is but he was supposed to be better now.

The Yanks are supposed to have no trouble with the Indians too

 

[Northern Neighbour]

I can't help but wonder if he's got some nagging injury with how he's played and all the days off he's been getting

He has a strained left hamstring and his thumb has been bothering him for about 2-3 weeks.

 

[GAMO1992]

Oh yeah, the Jays are playing right now.

1-0 Texas in the 4th

 

[Anglesmith]

It's Gallardo, so pretty much an auto loss for the Jays.

 

[Anglesmith]

The good news is that he's at almost 80 pitches in the fourth. And that bullpen is pretty beat up.

 

[Anglesmith]

Nice. Lamborghini Gallardo out of the game. New pitcher has thrown 5 straight balls.

EDIT: Double steal! Second and third, one out, Edwin at the plate. Full count.

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh my god. Seventh inning, Tulowitzki up with the sacs drunk and one out. GIDP. Come on, man! You were the hero on Tuesday!

 

[Gritty]

I have a good feeling about the 8th inning
