Sean Monahan Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I wasn't calling them mediocre. I was saying many of the games coming up against mediocre teams are must wins. Ah okay, this makes sense. I find your posts to be well-informed so I was surprised by this but the air is now cleared lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) After the start to his season, good to see Sanchez finding a groove. The bats really let Aaron down yesterday. With a man on third and less than two outs, you have to find a way to score the runner. Too many missed opportunities and you can't rely on Donaldson heroics every game...

TheRussianRocket. Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Fracking Donaldson. Wow. Team engine, star presence, and he back his talk with his play. Outstanding. MVP discussion without doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I love looking back at things when time elapses. Think it was shiznak and maybe a couple others upset about the Lawrie deal. Anyway you put it, Donaldson > in every category. Lawrie: 48 games, 50H, 20RBI, 4HR, 55SO, BA 0.270, OBP 2.99, SLG .378, OPS .677 Donaldson: 51 games, 62H, 38RBI, 14HR, BA .313, OBP .371, SLG .596, OPS .967 ...and ffs @ Jays bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just saying the Jays should have gotten better pitching instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nah.... this game is on the defense, guys. Namely the outfield corners and Reyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers being dicks once again. Got such deep pockets, gave all this hope, key moves, but didn't bother spending anything on pitching. Disappointing to say the very least especially since this is likely the last chance this core has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Can't blane the bullpen because the outfielders like Colabello can't catch balls hit in their general direction, or that Reyes can't make routine plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already went that route in 2012, when they had the second highest payroll of any team in the league, and it failed miserably. It's easy for you to say sign all the top free agents, but you need balance throughtout the entire lineup to succeed (ex. Kanas City Royals, San Francisco, Tampa Bay) Edited June 1, 2015 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy for you to say sign all the top free agents, but you need balance throughtout the entire lineup to succeed (ex. Kanas City Royals, San Francisco, Tampa Bay) They have a pretty good lineup. I know it didn't work out before but this time around pitching really is the issue (most of the time) and that seems painfully obvious to me. Look at last year, they were competitive for the first couple months until the offence dried up. Winning with offence and average-at-best pitching isn't a sustainable way to win.

RUPERTKBD Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Nice comeback in game 2. KP with his first ever multi-homer game. (In the post game interview he said he'd never done it before. Not in AAA, AA, A, or even in Little League... ) ...and it comes against Matt Scherzer. Too bad the bats were silent in game one. Another quality RA Dickey start wasted. Why don't these guys hit for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
