  1. Giving credit where credit is due, Smoak is such a different player this year it's crazy, he has convinced me enough good for him.
  2. Only a playoff or wild card team will go after him, rumor was an AL East team
  3. Yeah I know, but just saying we ain't getting a SP back who is ready now, it will hurt the rotation.
  4. Well this won't help the pitching rotation. Report: Estrada claimed on trade waivers by unknown team Estrada was claimed on trade waivers by an unknown team, according to sources of Jon Morosi of FOX Sports, although these waivers are revocable. The Kansas City Royals were showing reported interest in the Mexican-born hurler before the July 31 trade deadline, but there's no indication as to whom the mystery team is. https://www.thescore.com/news/1343471
  5. Wow just checked the wild card standings, shocked how close it is Jays actually still have a chance insane.
  6. Yes but not to the same as Yankees have imo, I've always preferred Red Sox players over Yankees players. The only 2 Yankees players I've ever had respect for is Jeter and Rivera and maybe one day Judge. Personally I don't like either team though, but Red Sox if I had to choose.
  7. Yes always have and always will. They have bought too many championships.
  8. I didn't even know about this until a few days ago, then I saw the article and the jerseys and didn't like it. I forget who was talking about it but they made a good point and as much as I hate your Yankees I gained some respect for them a bit. They said in over 100 years it will be the first time a name is on the back of a Yankees jersey, and the reason for that is because they're a team that plays for the name on the front of the jersey not the name on the back of their jersey.
  9. Gotcha, as long as Yankees don't win the division I'm happy, but haven't paid attention to it in a few weeks because of the Jays sucking. Besides enjoying seeing what the Dodgers are doing, the team I'm rooting for is the Mariners though.
  10. Just realized today I care more about watching Judge and seeing his stats, Stantons HR stats, and the LA Dodgers and Bellinger HRs more than the Jays now!
  11. Not a big big issue but it's an issue that is getting a little annoying, kind of like when Bautista would cry about every strike call. Stroman is doing it more and more and getting comfortable acting like this more and more, it is becoming a little bit of a problem especially since he's still young.
  12. Yes I agree, or like I said people will figure it out and then this team will fall apart or maybe that's their plan anyways... I also read from 2010-2014 there was no change in ticket prices, but every year since there has been an increase, but if this team continues to fail I don't understand how they can go through with raising it next year. Unless like you said major off season moves, but I don't see it tbh.
  13. Depending on how the Jays finish this year could be very interesting for attendance next year I think, due to raising ticket prices. Jays' decision to raise ticket prices could backfire, big time In this underwhelming, underperforming, somewhat confounding Blue Jays season, the decision to raise ticket prices for next season smacks of arrogance, ignorance and a management group tone deaf to the history of the market. All Mark Shapiro has known in Toronto since inheriting a playoff team is the best attendance in the American League. He has yet to experience a disinterested and detached Toronto. His — or ownership’s — determination to raise ticket prices between 7% and 17% after a season such as this will certainly test the veracity of the ticket-buying public at a time when the Blue Jays have already experienced a significant rise of Canadian dollar. Consider this: Since the Blue Jays acquired Troy Tulowitzki at the end of July in 2015, attendance has been through the open roof. That September, the Jays averaged 46,655 fans per game. The year before contention, in 2014, the Jays audience in the final month was 22,573 per game. That was an unexpected 106% increase in a single season. If ownership wants to renovate Rogers Centre, that’s on them, not the paying public. Rogers bought the Dome for a bargain-basement price of $25 million. If they want to upgrade it, let them pay for it ... http://m.torontosun.com/2017/07/29/jays-decision-to-raise-ticket-prices-could-backfire-big-time
  14. These are the breaks this team has been missing all year, in the past it was almost routine for them to come back and win games like this, unfortunately this year it hasn't been like that, but that was good to finally see today!
  15. I literally was about to do the same thing after the 8th, was about to watch a TV show then got distracted and kept the game on, I guess good thing I got distracted lol.
  16. Yeah the one that dropped between them was a mistake, I really thought it was Pillars ball imo. Yes LF has been making those mistakes all year and it's been frustrating to watch, hence it's been a ZOO out there. This is the guy they needed to keep, and lots of problems would of been fixed.
  17. Later in that game he threw another one too 2nd and it bounced twice before getting to the bag horrible. As good as Donaldson is, he's been really bad at 3rd lately. And LF has just been a ZOO all year.
  18. When you walk the bases loaded and then walk in the winning run can't feel sorry for that crap, that was just brutal bush league ball.
  19. Lol I was thinking when I saw that throw this guy actually called out his pitching.... It's more like he just can't throw period.
  20. Yeah that rumor is going around, and I don't see that happening, can't take out your best offensive player and still expect to win games without him, not going to happen. Heard Shapiro talking about not trading key players because of the fans and it wouldn't be right to them, so by those sounds I don't expect guys like JD, JB, JS or even Tulo being traded, even though if there was one guy I wouldn't mind trading would be Tulo as long as we got a SS or 2B player back. I still believe if they make the trades to aquire the key positions I mentioned they would at least have a shot at making the playoffs, but what they trade would be similar to what AA did as I mentioned before it would be a deja vu, prospects and picks because according to Shapiro he isn't going to trade key players. But then again it's hard to see Shapiro allow trading prospects and picks, since they're here too rebuild that in the first place.
  21. This team does remind me a bit of 2 years ago, but as much as this will be deja vu for fans what really needs to be done to this team is the same thing AA did 2 years ago. Trade to get an Ace pitcher, a bullpen pitcher, and get a legit leadoff hitter. Getting Price and Revere 2 years ago shifted this team for the better, and this year it seems that's the same thing that may help this team turn around and go on a tear.
  22. ^^ As much as I did like Grilli because you knew his heart was here in Toronto and really wanted to win here, but yeah his time was sadly up. When he finally decides to call it a career, the Jays should bring him in to help coach the bullpen. And after hearing about Osuna and him, this would be a very smart choice imo.
