Wilbur Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Sounds like Reid-Foley pitched a good game. I know Miami isn't exactly a juggernaut but here's hoping it'll give him some confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward to now and both are gone for pennies on the dollar. Buck Martinez said it best today when interviewing with Atkins in the 3rd inning, I wish I could quote him word for word because everything he said was spot on. Basically saying how this team this year was to be a wild card type team to contend, but when you start having injuries to key players like Tulo, Donaldson, Stroman, Sanchez losing key players that were expected to play and produce to give you a chance, it changes everything and no one could of predicted that to happen, heck even throw in the Osuna incident can't predict these things. But I don't think they were here to fill seats at all they were here to hopefully compete with a healthy lineup which actually made sense, especially with the year Smoak had last year getting a healthy Travis back, but again injuries happened. I don't believe they were still here to fill seats, I strongly believe they were still here because they gave this team a chance to compete when everyone is healthy unfortunately that just wasn't the case this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I've read is the $2.7M they're covering should help the player coming to be a better one instead of just a random player. It's Moneyball with prospects once they get ride of Tulo's and Martin's contract off this team hopefully soon. So are people mad Donaldson is gone? Or mad because it was PTBNL? I'll admit sucks a bit losing a good player like that, but he had to go and there was no point of holding onto him to possibly get nothing for him or offer him a QO and take a spot away from Vlad Jr next year, that would of been a bigger screw you to the fans imo. Donaldson imo was a little bit of a prima donna, he cried when he was traded from the A's and now he's trying to blame the Jays for his injuries and recovery time, because he decided to do things on his own instead. He's been an injury joke the last couple years, he couldn't even throw a ball across the field to start the year why? because he wanted to do his own training looks like that worked out well. wow a bit of a swing in your postings??? he was disrespected you say cuz he was dumped for basically nothing and was an mvp and now you are saying he is a prima donna and you are dumping all over management... just because??? so what were the jays supposed to do? keep showing highlights of 2015 to make everyone feel good?? both donaldson and tulo have become physical wrecks and are the top paid players on the team along with martin who is aging quickly the jays need to move donaldson on asap to ensure there is room for his 3rd base replacement you know, the #1 prospect in all of baseball it is addition by subtraction and he will sell more tickets then donaldson ever did i am so so about the management group but it is not clear to me they are a problem player health, which is outside of their control, is the problem when key players were healthy the team thrived with all the injuries .. not so much that is life so changes do need to be made and with key assets diminished their hands are tied to a large extent remember the smoak resigning how astute was that?? reread your commentary on that before spouting too much again about how poor management is 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be delusional or something..... Everything you're trying to say I said I never said, I said the complete opposite, you may want to reread your poems before you click send, because you're clearly making stuff up or are reading someone else's stuff and accusing me of saying it. Please show me where I disagreed with management when I was in favor of them trading him? And regarding 3rd base and the #1 prospect you're just repeating what I said.... Dude you got issues, you should get help for that before it becomes a real life problem. Edited September 3, 2018 by ChuckNORRIS4Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 In the movie moneyball they sure make the GM of Cleveland look like a moron, is he the guy running the Jays now? I heard they got a 26yo pitcher coming off of tommy john surgery? That's basically giving Donaldson away for free, and to all teams Cleveland? This management team is looking pretty moronic now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought he played surprisingly well at first. When you look at his body type, it's easy to think of his as below average in fielding his position, but that's not what it looked like last night. Vlad Jr. and Teoscar have some work to do on the defensive side, but it definitely looks like we have some hitters on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Tellez's first 5 hits now in the majors are all doubles (5 for 7). This has to be approaching some sort of weird record. I have a soft spot for doubles hitters so I think I'm starting to get a baseball man-crush on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to absolutely lace the ball, but I could never find the alleys or get the ball down the lines. My buddy used to get decent contact but would find the soft spots in the defense. The park that we used to play at had a hill just past the foul line and RFs used to have a nightmare down that line. Rowdy is a great baseball name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, the future does look good so people just need to have some patience, but you're correct the pitching is the only real issue, so this management has a couple years to really address it and improve it, at least they have some time, but the rest is positive.
