Rick Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 4 wins in a row...quick, everybody jump back on the bandwagon...... Morrow's starting to prove he has the proper mental toolbox to match the very talented tools he has. Keep Lind down in Vegas, this Gomes kid is showing albeit short term that he can handle major league pitching and provide the Jays with backup at 3 infield positions unlike Lind.

fellowtraveller Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Their bullpen still sucks real bad, so if they can get and keep their offence going they might have a shot at third in the division. As bad as Lind had done at the plate, his work at first is a big factor in his demotion. If you can't play a position, and can't hit there is nowhere to hide on the roster.

No arguments here about the bullpen but if the starters can hide how bad it is and AA can upgrade it before the trade deadline, they have a shot.Unlike Lind...who reminded me too much of Hinske...one good year, lots of promise and now, having been placed on outright waivers... long gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellowtraveller Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 if the starters can hide how bad it is Looks like that won't hold now, the starters have been absolutely hammered lately too. No pitching, no defence, may be a very long season again. They need to find a replacement for Eric Thames now. It isn't Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Good win last night against the O's. However the 9th inning performance was really crappy. Sergio Santos has to be better than what they have in the late innings now. No Shame in getting swept on the road against the Rangers. They are, perhaps, the best team in the league right now. There inability to beat the Rays is a major concern though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellowtraveller Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't understand why they keep putting the Blob aka Cordero out there. one out, four hits, two runs.... a typical performance. Jeff Mathis did a better job pitching than him. Why don't they just cut Ciordero and bring up anybody from the minors? Janssen has actually done pretty well, though the Jays have had few opportunities to use a closer lately. I agree they are not as good as the Rangers, but they got absolutely smoked in two games. The gap between the Jays and playoff teams in the AL is pretty big. Still think the Jays are contenders after their performances against the Rangers and the AL East?

Boges Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Before this recent 5 game swoon they were solidly in a playoff spot. Looks like the ChiSox and their hilariously easy schedule have helped their record recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boges Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I wonder if this is it for the Orioles string ontop of the schedule? Series against the Red Sawks is key. The AL East is separated by 2.5 games. Say what you will about the Jays, they can certainly Mash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ChiSox are having some trouble with the Jays it would appear. Going for the sweep tonight. Brandon Morrow pitches a gem last night while movie Lawrie and Rasmus to the start of the lineup has helped both a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boges Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Well how bout that trade? The Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a multiple-player trade that would send shortstop Jose Reyes and pitcher Josh Johnson to Toronto, sources told ESPN.Also going to Toronto would be pitcher Mark Buehrle, catcher John Buck and infielder-outfielder Emilio Bonifacio."Just about any (Marlins) player making money is going to Toronto," a source told ESPN.Toronto is still without a manager after the Boston Red Sox hired John Farrell."It's a good day to be bluejay!" a tweet from Toronto's Jose Bautista read.While Bautista was elated with the proposed trade, Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton voiced his frustration via Twitter."Alright, I'm pissed off!!! Plain & Simple," Stanton tweeted.Johnson, who has spent his entire career with the Marlins told the Palm Beach Post that he's "in shock, but really excited to start a new chapter in my life." Who cares if the team has not manager. We have more starting pitchers and a world class shortstop! If the Jays can't compete for the AL East next year I'll be shocked. Also bringing in Buck means they can deal Arencibia which is cool. GO JAYS GO!!! Edited November 14, 2012 by Boges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 National League Cy Young Award Winner RA Dickey to the Jays for their top Catching prospect and two other catchers switching hands.

How can people not be excited about the Jays in 2013? The excitement is here in the city, but with xmas it has to takle a back seat (not to mention Newtown Conn)The exciting part of it is the other players tweeting....'maybe TO isnt so bad a place to play" Keep your shirt on, theres more to come.

Chris+ Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Big things to come this year. I am a huge Blue Jays fan and think we are going all the way this year. Keys are: * Bautista staying healthy* Morrow staying healthy * Romero rebounding from his miserable season (he had a shoulder injury) * Dickey repeating or at least, coming close to 2012 numbers * If just either Buhlere or Josh Johnson are themselves Bluejays had one of the most potent offenses last year and it's only gotten better. If we are not in the World Series I will be very surprised. New York/Boston/Tampa have no chance this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Like a sucker I watched part of the first Spring Training game. Brandon Morrow gave up 3 hits and a towering bomb to Prince Fielder. There's a reason these games generally aren't televised, because it's essentially live practice. I am looking forward to seeing Melky Cabrera and Jose Reyes in the batter's box. It was nice of J.A. Happ to take Curtis Granderson out for a few months.

He got socked by Team Mexico yesterday. Johnson's looking good, though. Nice to see Teixiera join Granderson too. Making it look easy this year.
