Blue Jays Discussion: The "We could use the Man in White after today" Edition

[p.l.f.]

What stat is that? I am at work and not watching the game

Alex R.

He obviously remains optimistic, but it's come to a point where if it doesn't heal up in the next week+, he likely will be shutdown entirely.

most likely should be shutdown regardless, defense is key in the playoffs and goins is a stud defensively so he is the option at second base imo,

This Astros lineup looks legitimately bad. Rasmus has the 3rd highest OBP at .302.

but theyre top of the divison so

 

[Gargyn]

Autocorrect... And I wasn't referring to you specifically, you're on of the posters I enjoy reading... I just meant in general. Sing take me out the the ball game, or some sort of other entertainment... What if I don't think America should be blessed? Why do I have to listen to that?

Again, it's what it represents. If you don't realize that, I don't know what to say.

Of course, but the interview was yesterday... I'm more curious as to why he came back in the first place if he wasn't fully healed. Initially, it was him chesting up a ground ball, right? It's amazing that he's still feeling the lingering effects. He's definitely no Russell Martin.

If Perez didn't walk those three guys, Astros could have swept them.

Alex R.

That's definitely not good numbers.

Because they have great pitching

 

[Woodman19]

So up next the Yankees head to Atlanta with Ellsbury, Tiexera hurt and A-Roid to the bench with no DH spot. Got to like the chances Atlanta can nab a game or two.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

guess you could say he won't be...suiting up this season

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh

 

[theaub]

Well, ace on the mound with the chance to go up two tonight. Weeeee

What's wrong with Ellsbury?

 

[Woodman19]

What's wrong with Ellsbury?

Hurt his hip last night and was out today.

 

[Gargyn]

Blue Jays bats have been shut down plenty of times by solid pitching. When a team throws out Keuchel, Kazmir, McHugh, Fiers for the series, runs are going to be hard to come by. Blue Jays have Price and then serious question marks. What Buehrle are we going to get? Is Dickey's knuckle going to actually work? Will Stroman come back and be effective as a starter? I think after Price, our best pitcher is Estrada, and that's not a good thing.

Just today or is it similar to Texeria where he might be gone for a few games?

 

[Woodman19]

I'm not sure, but if hes banged up enough to miss a game it could be a recurring problem.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I would say this is a game that would really behove the Jays to win, so we could start to pull away from the Yankees (and everyone else).

 

[sparxx87]

Again, it's what it represents. If you don't realize that, I don't know what to say.

I'm well aware of what it represents... Isn't it time to move on? And what does it have to do with baseball?

America loves to inject patriotism where it doesn't belong. Another reason why most of the world hates them.

 

[canucksfan]

Thanks. Yanks are banged up. Teixeria is still injured. He barely could run down the line. ARod is in a big funk. If Ellsbury is out for a bit then their offense isn't nearly as good.

They do have good pitching though.

 

[Stats01]

Just today or is it similar to Texeria where he might be gone for a few games?

The way Tex is running, he may be out longer than a few games, that last out the Astros could've thrown it around the horn and still got him out. Tex is not looking good at all, who knows how long Ellsbury is out for. A-Rod is batting something like .137 in August. That team is in trouble.

Even though I started this by stating that I don't like GBA during the 7th inning, this thread isn't the place for this.

 

[Muston Atthews]

I think Travis back with the team would be just unfair to the rest of the MLB

 

[TootooTrain]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh

We can get by with Goins and Penny. Don't rush him back.

I wouldn't put money on it thats for sure

 

[canucksfan]

I am okay with the braves winning one. If they can take two then great.
