[GDT] Jays Series Thread - AT Royals April 20-23

[flames_1987]

The Royals are sure good for a teams confidence. Romero on the hill tomorrow.

The 5th starter continues to stay on my mind. Considering whoever it is, the second time through the rotation is going up against those Texas bats. A healthy Mcgowan sure would have been nice. You'd have to think AA is going pretty hard after one

I agree with the logic to challenge the hitters and make them hit the ball when you're up by 4, it just wasn't because of that, it's because Carlos V is not a good pitcher haha

Not sure I believe that, it looked like more. Even Tabler was getting pissed off.

Still a good win.. back to the top of the rotation for the last 2 games of the series

Going after one what? A 5th starter or a stud?

Going off MLB.Com for the pitches he through. They are usually spot on. I enjoy having it up during the game for these exact reasons.

• Pitcher
  
  C. Villanueva
• Batter
  
  M. Maier

The "stud" asking price has to be sky high right now because a ton of teams have struggling back end rotationsm so it would most likely be someone to fill in that 5th role but AA is never one to make a panic move, so any move is going to be one with the future in mind.

Of note, he did say recently in an interview that he would rather add another bat for the middle of the lineup then an arm. Not sure how much stock can be put into that. but what the hell

[flames_1987]

Not all good news tonight

Santos on 15 day dl inflamation in right shoulder. #bluejays. Crawford recalled. #bluejays

Great team defence tonight! 4 double plays is a great encore performance after that superb triple play yesterday! btw, is Rasmus still the whipping boy around here? Good Ol' country Rasmus is finally getting back in his groove! He's awesome!!!

Are any other Shaw subscribers unable to tune into this game on SNEWHD (218)? I can see the channel in SD , but the HD channel doesn't seem to be showing the game or tuning or something.

Hmm - well, I just power cycled my tuner (unplugged for 10 seconds) and now that's it's up and running again 218 is fine. lol Shaw, the finest cable experience from the Eastern Block circa the 80s.

Davis' Long walks/jogs after getting busted in are starting to piss me off. Totally unnecessary.

[flames_1987]

Really hoping Vizquel in the 2nd spot is not going to come back to bite this team in the ass. No idea why he is hitting there

[The Big Chill]

Great slide, very aggressive base running. Well done.

[flames_1987]

2-0 good guys and Rasmus coming up with the bases loaded to face the left hander

[The Big Chill]

Clutch hit from Lawrie!

[flames_1987]

Great 5th inning by the Jays

[flames_1987]

Bases loaded and nobody out. Huge part of this game coming up

[The Big Chill]

That's a big error.

[flames_1987]

Usually Escboar is great in the field but tough inning for him. Hopefully Romero can limit the damage

Not too bad in the end, could have been a lot worse.
