Blue Jays/MLB 2020 SZN

[The Head Crusher]

Nice pickup for the Jays.

Nice debut for Walker, half a game back of the Yankees for 2nd in the AL east

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

Another late yank from Montoyo, guy just can't manage at this level.

Jays acquire Robbie Ray from Diamondbacks

In seven starts this season, he has a 7.84 ERA, and a 2.00 WHIP, the worst among pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings.
While Ray’s 43 strikeouts in 31.0 innings is good for a career-best strikeouts per nine innings, he averages a walk every inning. His 9.0 BB/9 is more than three walks greater than the second-worst in the league.
Report: Arizona Diamondbacks trade Robbie Ray to Toronto Blue Jays

Not bad considering they gave up basically nothing for him.

He might bounce back. Worst case Ontario he'd probably be a good leftie from the pen.

This is what i'm hoping, would be nice if he regains his form in the rotation but 31 walks and 31 hits over 31 innings is pretty troubling.

Really glad they brought in a middle infield upgrade in Villar, I think he'll slot in nicely off the bench once Bo is back

The Jays called up Alejandro Kirk who is apparently 5'8'' 265lbs?

Oh lawd.

They DFA'ed Vogelbach so they needed someone to take his weight.

I noticed the Jays have quite a few guys that could afford to lose 20-50lbs. Do they have a dietician?

There to make a Vladdy look svelte.

 

[McDNicks17]

The Rays/Yankees game could be fun today.

Cash basically saying they've got a stable of guys who throw 98 ready to throw at the Yankees if they want to throw at them.

Lol, are you allowed to even say something like that?

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

I don't think so haha wouldn't be surprised to see a fine, especially if there is some fireworks today.

He'll probably be fine because he kind of just implied the second part of it.


The actual quote is right at the end of this.

Looks even more cartoony than I expected, lol.

Imagine he's pretty effective at stealing bases.

Apparently 5-0 in the minors.

WTF . Are they now allowing tackling with the fielder having to survive contact?

I think it’s more like “oh shit, he’s actually running? Damn, too late.”

 

[bone]

I think it’s more like “oh shit, he’s actually running? Damn, too late.”

Possibly some uncontested ones late in a game when down multiple runs since he's pretty effective at getting on base.

That's the real life, but boring explanation.

 

[McDNicks17]

I hope he gets in some games.

The dude can hit. Slashed .290/.403/.446 in the minors last year.

 

[McDNicks17]

You have to love baseball.

The guy that was about a half inch from taking a 101 mp/h fastball to the head from Chapman hits a two run homer to put the Rays up 4-0 as they bat around the 1st and chase the Yankees starter.

 

[joestevens29]

I think it’s more like “oh shit, he’s actually running? Damn, too late.”

It's more like "damn he ran, did I fall asleep?"

I don't even care who wins between Vancouver/Vegas. Both Raps and Jays won tonight, I'm happy.

Tied with the Yankees for 2nd, great finish to the day.
