Down by the River Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I don't know if the MLB has some kind of 'perseverance' award, but if they do, I don't know how you don't award it to the guy that's overcome the name "Tuffy Gosewisch". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) With 72 million on the DL alone (not including non-DL injured players), the Jays' DL list has a higher payroll than the 25-man rosters of the Padres, Rays, Reds, Athletics, Brewers, Phillies, and Marlins. Yet, the Dodges have 92 million in salary on the DL. Its kind of insane that the Jays are not completely out of it considering their record in April, the number of injuries they have, and the fact that only two guys in their lineup today are hitting over .265.

Sean Monahan Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 If it weren't for Justin Smoak we'd be struggling a lot harder. Imagine that scenario 2 months ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I think of when I see Chris Coghlan Yup lol. Very remisniscent to Oberg where Torts was giving him minutes right until Gillis traded him for Kassian which ended up being a bust deal when he ended up not showing his potential. Now that I think of it, he was traded to Florida for Ballard who helped the Canucks Cup run. Another note, great to see Smoak getting some clutch hits. To top that off, he hit a dinger as well. Really need others to step up and Carrera, Pillar, Travis, Bats have done their part as well. Once we get healthy, we should be a threat once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been struggling big time he needs to step up more, same with Bats, he's shown potential but still needs to step up more imo, agree with all your other names they have stepped up, it's Barney who's also in that list who has stepped up big! Agree that once everyone is healthy again it should make this team a real threat again, as long as the guys who are hot now stay hot when everyone comes back!

I'm still optimistic with him, no doubt credit is due he's killing it right now, and performing way better then I originally expected, but his past history has shown a fall eventually. I hope it doesn't happen, but like Saunders last year and himself a bit they fell apart after the All Star break, I'm waiting until about 3/4 of the season to finally give him the benefit of the doubt if he doesn't have a fall.

Hey if he falls apart and the rest of the team remembers how to play then I think we'll be ok. Here's hoping the Toronto Blue Jays can find the success when healthy that the Buffalo Blue Jays are having now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your right if they figure it out shouldn't matter hopefully, time will tell, still imo Smoak hasn't really proven himself in a full season before, so I just can't jump on his side after a good start to a season, I need to see consistency through out a whole season before giving him the benefit of the doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Crazy to think Smoak is playing better than Edwin so far this season. Let's hope he can keep it together throughout the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, even if he doesn't, I'm going to remember that he was largely responsible for keeping this team afloat in the first two months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshinefe Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Nice to see the bats have heated up. Biagini as a starter is entertaining too, I think he has what it takes in the long run to be a decent starter, and it's great to see him picking up the slack and gaining some MLB starter experience.

Shouldn't but it does. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
