The 2016 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

Martin in playing second. Goins in at short.

Tulo is so fragile. Seriously looked like nothing and he was in minor discomfort. Then he leaves the game.

[KelVarnsen]

Sigh. (I feel like I post that a lot.)

[Senator Clay Davis]

3 run lead with Miller and Chapman to come is goodnight. Jays offense is pretty much appalling given the talent that's in it.

[puffnstuff]

Wow, 43% of inherited runners score. Thats an unbelievably horrible number.

[KelVarnsen]

Dear Mark Shapiro,
Please fire everyone, including yourself.



Thanks

It's not quite panic time, but how long is management going to wait before shaking things up? This isn't working. Even a small trade to shake it up might do the trick. This is getting boring.

Revere homered tonight just to piss off those who think he's the missing link.

I never thought he was the missing link, I was wondering before what the current management saw in Storen that made him the return. He's garbage.

Vindette, jack of all trades master of none. Seriously which of his coaches thought it was a good idea to let him throw both ways?

[Harry Lime]

I'm pretty sure that as long as the Jays rely solely on the long ball they will not be a championship calibre team. At the major league level they should have the ability to switch gears and play small ball, or just a utility brand of baseball in order to win a game, but they never make the attempt.

Eventually have to put that on the coaching.

I assume it went something like this

Scout: I am not seeing anything here that separates him from Joe Guy

Jim: I can kinda throw with both arms

Coach: it's more valuable than a trick pitch like a knuckleball

Scout: two arms for the price of one man that's value.

Jim: and the glove looks cool

I think they had a championship calibre team last season, they just had a ace who imploded in the post season and gave up 16 runs in 23.1 innings. When you're number 1 pitches 4 times and posts a 6+ ERA you're pooched.

The long wait is over - Devon Travis is finally getting the call up today. In a crappy season, it'll be nice to at least have something new to get excited about.

Where does he slot into the bullpen....oh wait.

You never know what will spark the team, maybe this does it?

[KelVarnsen]

The other day, the Jays were saying they wouldn't rush him back, and now they do. He probably isn't ready to come back full time so I am not overly excited.

Funny how a few days later this looks crazy. Raps are two wins away, and the Jays don't seem to have a prayer.

[Dan02]

ahhh I dunno, i still believe that statement lol.

The baseball season is long and we're barely past the quater pole maybe I'm just delusional.

I still believe the Raptors are heavily overmatched. If they play their best games ever they eek out the wins, when they don't they get hammered.

[Dan02]

Hoping Travis sparks the team, but if he does take over second full time you'd have to think Goins is not long for the majors as much as I like him.

[jayswin]

The cavs came back in game 4 but the raps didn't eek out wins Imo, they straight up beat them soundly for the better part of two straight games and were destroying them at times.
