OT: Toronto Blue Jays

[nameless1]

I didn't even realize Buehrle's numbers has been that dominant until now.

He is the biggest surprise so far.
Despite a less than ideal fastball...
The man has great command.
Quite simply...
He just know how to pitch.

you forgot how he pitches so quickly

 

[Royal Canuck]

I knew Beuhrle was going to be our best pitcher at the start of the season.

I knew R.A. would crumble all over again.

 

[nameless1]

People did not know how he would pitch last year with the power lineups of the AL East.
He pitched how I thought he would pitch last year...
And I thought it would be more of the same this year.
I am more surprised by his fast start...
And how he seems to be adjusted already.

I will give some credits to Dioner Navarro too.
The guy calls a good game...
And I think his addition really helped the staff.
It is better than it is...
Which is kind of sad...
Because it is still very mediocre as a whole.

So...
You expected mediocrity eh?
The prospects can not come soon enough.

This teams pitching doe

 

[CherryToke]

if they don't blow it up and rebuild this disaster it will just go on for ever. 21 years and counting of mediocre baseball.

 

[EpochLink]

Our starting pitching used to consist of Halladay, Key, Hentgan, Guzman, Clemens, Morris, Stieb and Others

Not at the same time.
They all played in different years and eras.
Steib is also just ok.

They should have done it last year in my opinion...
But this year is fine too.
Bautista and Encarnación should still garnered a bunch.
I am pretty sure Rogers will force AA to make a firesell...
Ifg they fall out of contention by July.

Steib was probably the best AL pitcher of the early 1980s - finished 3-1-1-1-2 in pitching WAR between 1981 and 1985.

 

[CherryToke]

it seems like the Jays give up a grand slam every game lately. what a disaster.

Don't knock grand slams.

 

[Mofletz]

Morrow has all the tools to be the ace of the Jays, but just like Ricky, he has a ****ed up head. The same could be said for Dustin McGowan

Beeston and AA are also ****ed in the head.

I blame injuries for McGowan.
Still...
After so many surgeries...
For him to be back in the major leagues is quite an accomplishment.
I rather admire his tenacity.

Morrow is about to enter McGowan territory.
For some strange reasons...
The guy cannot be healthy.
He seems to be a guy destined to be a 3 or 4 pitcher...
Despite ace stuff.

 

[nameless1]

Steib was probably the best AL pitcher of the early 1980s - finished 3-1-1-1-2 in pitching WAR between 1981 and 1985.

Hmm...
I never liked how he pitched...
But that was when he was near the end of his career.
Perhaps I am just biased.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Bautista hits a long ball to bring the Jays back within one in the 9th!

But we all know how the story will go...

 

[Royal Canuck]

Didn't see that one coming...

 

[bo2shink*]

If you read his poem quickly it makes sense.

Blue Jays-Official ‏@BlueJays
Today the @BlueJays become the first team ever to have 6 Dominican born players in the starting lineup.

Jays won.
Coincidence?

 

[Wetcoaster]

Jays won.

Yes.

The real reason is that it was RA Dickey Bobblehead Day.

 

[CherryToke]

Yes.

The real reason is that it was RA Dickey Bobblehead Day.

actually.. the real reason is, the Jays gravitate to the .500 mark so they were due for a win.

 

[Gormo]

I cant stop wondering why AA re-hired Gibbons, who was a mediocre AAA manager at the time.

It made no sense at all. It was as if Gibbons was the only guy he knew or something.
