So it took this topic 8 years to finally be worthwhile.... smh that it's still not locked.
-
Donaldson has filed for Salary Arbitration, just read it on the score app.
Arrieta, Donaldson among 156 players to file for arbitration

Always thought the more logical trade for pitching would be Tulo. And also got the same sense his heart really isn't here, I don't think it would really bother him if he was asked to waive.
-
Still can't believe we lost Revere, our only true lead off guy those are hard to come across. The fact he would get on base a lot helps guys like Donaldson and Bautista to drive him in, and be a threat on the base paths to pitchers screws with pitchers heads, trading Revere was a mistake.
Of course this team needs pitching no doubt about it, but losing a key lead off for it doesn't help your cause. Everyone wants to mention Travis and Tulo for lead off replacements because they did it last year, but they aren't lead off hitters... Travis was batting around .330-40 and top 10 in RBIs and HR before he became lead off last year, his average dropped and he wasn't in the top 10 anymore, Travis is a power hitter not lead off. Tulo well we all saw him struggle big time as a lead off hitter hitting around .200 when he's normally a .300 hitter, he's not a lead off hitter.
And just going to throw this out there for everyone to think about, but both Sanchez and Osuna have been asked last year about their pitching positions. Osuna was asked if he would want to be a starter, his answer was no he likes being able to pitch everyday he doesn't like waiting 5 games before pitching again, well that means he wants to be in the bullpen. Sanchez said he wants to be a starter and not be in the bullpen, he actually said this 2 seasons ago, as to why he was a starter last year before being injured.
-
I do like Owens, he's probably the only one who is closest to being the next Stone Cold type bad guy. I was hoping Ryback would of been able to maybe become like that, but Cena ruined him.

For once Raw was actually pretty darn good, trying to bring the Attitude Era back is what's best for business. Bringing back the Dudley's has got me more interested again, and the hardcore is needed. Hearing the Hardy's are gearing up for another go, man its actually getting good again in wwe.

I'm sorry but signing Estrada now was a complete waste, without Navarro Estrada will not be the same pitcher. Estrada was never that great of a pitcher before he was a Jay, miraculously he had a career year last year and I strongly believe it was because of Navarro. I don't think I ever saw him shake off Navarro for signs once last year, time will tell, but I really believe Estradas success was strongly due to Narvarro.
As for what this team needs to do if they aren't going to go after an ace starting pitcher, which is just plain stupidity, is they will have to get 4 or 5 of the best relief pitchers out there if they are even serious about making another run at the world series. If not, then guys like Bautista or EE will probably demand a trade and I wouldn't blame them one bit.

I still don't see why Rogers won't allow the Jays to offer the contract, he will be traded eventually probably after a couple years. Pay his salary for a couple years then trade him, use him to help this team win a world series now, I don't see any bad investment in this option.
Plus they can get something in return for him as well, then letting him walk now.
-
Just read a report on the score about Price and how the Jays are basically last choice for Price. Don't get me wrong there are teams who want him, and are willing to pay big bucks to acquire him, more then what the jays are willing to. I just feel he enjoyed it here way to much last year, the fans really made an impression on him and I think he wants to experience that again.
If the Jays offer him a decent contract that's in his range, even if other teams offer him more money I think he will prefer to be a Jay.

2015 Toronto Riot....

Dickey looking good. He needs to go 6 or 7.
I think with the sun and shade it makes it so much harder for a batter to see where that ball is going, keep the knuckles coming with that sun and shade.
-
Fielder's still a big tub o' goo.
91 straight post season ABs without an RBI now?
Really? That's pathetic holy, really surprises me, but also very funny.
-
Navarro starting over Martin.
-
When Price first was acquired I guarantee it was not in his mind to resign in Toronto, but after the fan turn outs the jays were getting and Price couldn't believe it I think that changed his mind and I'm sure he wants to resign here. It's just going to come down to Toronto and if they will pay him what he's worth.
This talk about not resigning Price because he hasn't won a post season is ridiculous, look at Kershaw in L.A. probably the best pitcher in the game right now and hasn't won a post season game in his last 5 dating back to 2013. He has 1 win in 9 post season games, but he's still the best pitcher in the game. Post season is different you play against the best of the best it's not a cake walk to win games.

The Jays possibly could use Price out of the bullpen in Game 3, but their internal talks have centered around using him in a potential Game 4 if necessary, sources said.
If Price pitched in Game 4, the Jays could turn to right-hander Marcus Stroman to start Game 5 on normal rest, if the series got that far.
Price did not throw his usual bullpen session on Saturday when the Jays worked out at Globe Life Park, sources said.
If the Jays are down in game 3 and it's all or nothing, and if Price is ok to pitch out of the bullpen I say do it, especially with only having Loup as the only lefty.
-
Changing the subject a bit, how many others believe that there's something wrong with the rule when Chase Utley can ignore second base altogether and break Ruben Tejada's leg?
After seeing the replay he should of been called out, the fact he made contact with Tejada before even sliding is the main issue, last time I checked that's interference. If he slide before getting to the bag and then took out Tejada it would be fine, but he didn't do this.

I doubt Smoak starts game 3, there is a lefty on the mound, Colabello is a right handed hitter and had a very good game in Game 2 i'd be surprised if Colabello doesn't start.
Smoak is a switch hitter, but he is a better left handed hitter then right. I think the whole country would be surprised if Colabello is not playing. Just sometimes Gibby makes weird decisions, I sure hope this isn't going to be one of those.
-
Why.... Oh god, why...
I sure hope not, but because Gibby is old school he likes power hitters guys who hit home runs. This is why you saw more of Smoak in the 2nd half of the season instead of Colabello. Colabello who was hitting over .300 all year was sitting on the bench for the 2nd half watching a player hit .220, just because he hits more home runs.
It should be a no brainer that Colabello starts, but you just never know with Gibby sometimes.
-
It will be anyways.... Normally Navarro is paired up with Estrada.
Yes normally, but with Gibbons you never know, I still have a feeling he's going to want to play Smoak over Colabello.
-
I hope they stick with the same lineup in game 3 that they had in game 2, except the only player I would switch is Martin for Navarro. As soon as Martin made that throwing error in the 1st inning it affected him for the the whole game, you need your catcher to be in the right state of mind no matter what happens. Martin can get rattled to easily and Narvarro has a much better composure then Martin, that's my only change.

Blue Jays in 5
-
I guarantee if the ump called the strike zone properly the jays bats would of been better. It's a different game when the pitcher is always getting the favorable count over the batter.

Smart play by martin

I think your right, he's a good player, even watching him he looks professional doesn't stand out like a rookie one bit.
But before they moved him to leadoff he was hitting around .330-.340.
