Fantomex Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Well, I'm enjoying watching Edwin play, but it's going to be sad when he leaves for Boston in the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Was pretty amazing that we take 3 of 4 when we only scored 10 runs. The starting pitching isn't getting the credit it deserves but they have been lights out this season. I think everyone is kind of waiting for the pitching to struggle and the bats to catch fire, but at least the pitching is showing no signs of slowing down. Interested to see Liriano tomorrow against a struggling Royals team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty spectacular right there. Yeah it is pretty damn nice what they did in this series, will definitely need that in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Saner minds prevailed in the rotation decision. I like it. Liriano is good insurance/depth - as a substitute for Sanchez - didn't care for the plan. Really impressed with Happ. He responds very well to tight situations, consistently. Of all the moves/non-moves that management has made this year (haven't been impressed in general with Shapiro/Atkins), this one pretty much redeems the lot. The one thing they probably needed the most was a decent left handed starter and Happ has stepped up more than could have been expected. I like the Hutchinson deal a lot more with the decision to leave Sanchez in the rotation and spread out the starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Good bounce-back performance for Travis tonight too. Loved seeing him come right out and rip a double in the gap from the get-go Overall, a solid game (good D, nice bunt basehit) after a shaky night last night. Nice to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said before, he ain't no Goins or Barney defensively. Like you, love his potential. A little hard to take those errors in tight games tho. Hopefully he can clear that up come post season. If he does, he'll be the full package 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YummyCakeFace Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like the whole six man rotation thing. Why not try it anyway. Kinda allows everyone to get their way sorta. For a while at least. See how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 13 hours ago, TheRussianRocket. said: Happ now leads AL with 15 wins. Tied with Strasburg for MLB lead. Edwin with 5th straight 30 HR year. Man is he ever gonna get paid lol. Seeing Bautista's shocking decline after what he wanted before the season began, would be more than glad to use some of that money to keep EE around. What'll likely happen is he sees what the market has to offer and I'm expecting him and JB be leave. Bautista's shocking decline? Maybe being injured and unable to play for 6 weeks has contributed to his decline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, Muni was good as a back up to the back up. I think we can all agree though that: Barney and Goins >> Goins and Muni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the lefty in between the two righties to make it tougher for the opposition to match up. Stro is like the 4th starter, depending on the status of the series. If the Jays are up, I think Marcus definitely gets the start, if only to give Marco's back an extra couple of days to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see if Sanchez remains in the rotation for the playoffs though. If he does, it makes for a dam formidable rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grilli could pick up the slack, if Sanchez works a couple games in a row. Still, I think the rotation that DBTR suggested is the best option the Jays have and would be very tough to beat.

Even if Stro can reclaim some of his magic then a rotation of Estrada/Happ/Stro looks great too, and a bullpen of Sanchez, osuna, Grille, and Benoit (with how he's done so far) could be lights out. They need a lefty there though, hopefully Cecil can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Jays make the postseason, I think he could possibly be an effective alternative to Cecil from the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
