Davis would've scored on that Lindor single even if he was at 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) How about Montero with the pinch hit grand salami heroics!? Blanton's hanging slider was asking for it the previous pitch too. Chapman gets the win, and looks pissed about it.

YummyCakeFace Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Been saying it all year. If the big bats keep trying to blindly swing for the fences, good pitching will shut them down. Down 0-2. It's never over till you lose at home. Let's see if Gibby can alter the mentality for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I remember a lot of people were throwing in the towel last year, when they were down 0-2 to Texas. This series isn't even close to being over. 4 straight wins is doable, especially when 3 of those games are on home turf. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the 4 days off hurt more than it helped. The Jays hitters' timing is just off a hair. In the first few innings, Tomlin was having control issues and it was resulting in a lot of 2-0, 3-1 counts, but even knowing that they were going to get a fastball, the Jays' batters were rolling over on the pitches and hitting room service ground balls to third and short. This was going on all game with pretty much everyone, except JD. Then again in the 9th, Allen made mistakes to both Edwing and Bats. In the Texas series, both of those balls would have found the bleachers, but yesterday, they resulted in weak, or no contact. The fact is, Cleveland is going through the same thing. They aren't tearing the cover off the ball either. Both teams have good starting pitching, but both teams are a bit off with their timing at the plate. Both teams have a guy making a difference offensively. Unfortunately, Lindor is hitting out of the three hole and JD is batting second. Hopefully, the Jays will re-discover their timing at the plate when they get back to T.O. 19 hours ago, ShakyWalton said: Upton in for Saunders...I dont think you will see Saunders start another game in this series. I think you might be surprised. Saunders ranks third among Jays batters in batting average this postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders ranks third among Jays batters in batting average this postseason. there is that..he had 4 SOs in Cleveland..not the worst on the team considering there was 27 SOs in 2 games...but he wont start next game as DH...I have a feeling Smoak or Upton may...Saunders has already lost his OF job and I dont think that will change...Im so conflicted with Saunders.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's a 7 game series lots of ball still to play, as shiznak said they were down 2-0 to Texas last year and came back. I'll be a little more worried if they go down 3-0, but as for now still have confidence in this team to turn it around. Also it's not like we have been blown out of the games we lost, 2-0 and 2-1 very close games. These kind of scores are expected in October playoff ball especially when the last 4 teams are left. Of course you'd want the outcome being the other way around but oh well, as long as the bats can get going next game the momentum should shift and being at home will help that a lot I think.

Down by the River Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 IMO, when you lose games 2-0 and 2-1, you don't start looking at which player made a key error (Martin), couldn't get to a ground ball (Travis), or didn't make his pitch (Estrada). The Jays have put their $ into their offence. When the offence dries up, pitchers start to feel they have to be perfect/pitch too fine and infielders start to tighten up. If guys like JB weren't chasing balls way out of the zone, I don't think you see the defensive mistakes on the other side of the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are close games because of excellent pitching, but the Jays are more reliant on their bats as a team. This is why they failed against KC last year. They need to focus on getting players on base and then getting them home. Or else players like Bautista will continue to strike out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a gamble and play Saunders as our DH. he looks like he will get it going soon. Or maybe it's one of those cases where he gets hot every other game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
