van_ws Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wow, crappy start to the year. Not living to the hype so far at all. That was a pathetic performance, fans deserve free tickets after seeing that debacle. Same old Blue Jays. They better turn it around or it will be a disappointing season. It is still very early, but not promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Lots of problems here. Teams are wearing us out with the base hits. Encarnacion, Cabrera, Bonifacio... all no-shows (Lind has been bad since forever). Defensively, the Jays aren't looking too sharp either. I sure hope Dickey can turn this around. I certainly hope it's not a Rogers Arena thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Detroit 7 Jays 3 The Jays are now 2 - 5. I know it's way too early to start to panic. But, just to be prepared, at what point should fans start to panic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bad start but it's still early. I'm not ready to jump off the bandwagon just yet. I'm still wearing my Lawrie jersey (I'm just wearing a hoodie over it for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Detroit 7 Jays 3 The Jays are now 2 - 5. I know it's way too early to start to panic. But, just to be prepared, at what point should fans start to panic? If we haven't turned it around by the end of May, push the panic button. Still TONS of baseball to be played, this team is WAY too good to keep on this pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 2-5 to start a season seems alot worse then going 2-5 in the middle of June. No one would be panicking if that happened, but since its at the start of the season people may start to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Tried watching a game. Don't understand how this is fun to watch. would rather watch golf When I was young(er), I couldn't watch baseball either. The slowness of the game would drive me nuts. "C'mon, c'mon! Throw the damn ball!". But as I got older (perhaps because my brain slowed down?), I finally 'got' baseball. Been enjoying it for these past few years. Although it still irks me when a batter has to adjust every piece of his equipment after every swing of the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butcher Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Subpar hitting and subpar pitching and its no surprise that the Jays are 5-2. I expect the pitchers to turn it around though, the talent is there. But im worried about the hitting, theres no chemistry in the lineup, you need the hitters to feed off each others momentum. Basically, the runs theyve been getting have been from home runs, and thats cause for concern, you cant win with just dingers. Plus Encarnacion is off to a horrendous start, he may have been a fluke last season, well see. I always felt that the off season hype was too much - yeah, still early i know, but you cant just trade and sign a bunch of players and expect that it will miraculously gel well together. Still may come though. Not so sure about the coaching on the club either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Toronto 8 Detroit 6 3 - 5, while not great, looks a lot better than 2 - 6. I missed most of the game but apparently the Jays made quite a nice come-back. And credit to the hard-core baseball fans in Detroit. With the rain delay, that game took over six hours to play. Yet there were still fans there in the ninth inning even as it continued to rain. Have to wonder why all three games are in the afternoon, though. Wouldn't they get better attendance if the games were in the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Once our batting takes off (and you know it will) we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Once our batting takes off (and you know it will) we'll be fine. As long as the pitching takes off along with it! (Jays are currently 24th in the league in hitting and 25th in the league in pitching.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Have to wonder why all three games are in the afternoon, though. Wouldn't they get better attendance if the games were in the evening? I heard they're playing afternoon games because it still could possibly get too cold in the evening in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This just seems like the same old Jays, pitchers getting lit up with too many holes in the batting order. So frustrating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_More_Larchide Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 When is it too early for the panic button in a 162 game schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Blue Jays 8 Kansas 4 So the Blue Jays win the game but lose Reyes. Even when they win, they lose. It's been that kind of start. They finish their first ten games 4 - 6. Not the start they wanted, but in a 162 game season, very easy to overcome. Saturday's game should be interesting. Dickey comes into the game 0 - 2 with an ERA of 8.44 (!). It's still early for him, too, but you have to figure there's at least of bit of pressure on him to start to deliver. Let's see if he can.

gmen81 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Tough to see Reyes go down. He was becoming my favorite Jay too. Bright side about the 4-6 start is that no one else in the AL east is doing that great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
