I like Jansen as the closer and he should be the closer until he proves he can't do it. My guess is Santos will be the closer when he returns. AA went out and got him to be the closer and my guess is AA says "Santos will be the closer!" He picked up Cordero as the set up man and Jansen had to bail him out tonight before he blew a 6 run lead.
Blue Jays 2012
- Thread starter Perry Mason
- Start date
I agree about janssen. He's been doing a great job. I think he deverses a shot long term.
As far as if they should get a number 1 due lack of fan support, that kind of a "what comes first? chicken or the egg?" sort of question. If you get the number starter giving you that many more wins that could =contender=fans.
If the Jays don't regularly defeat teams in their own division there won't be any "must" wins in September. Currently games against Eastern division opponents are "must" wins!
Wow! Have you got it bass ackwards! You must work for Rogers!
This is no chicken-and-egg conundrum!
Since when does the owner of a team wait until he gets an audience before he invests to put a competitive team on the field? This is a simple business proposition, like all others: Are we supposed to first buy large quantities of automobiles to encourage Ford to build good ones?
We, the fans, are the customers here... we pay the money... give us value... put a competent team on the field and I will come out to the ballpark.
This city has proven again and again that it will support a baseball team if the owners make it worthwhile to support it.
During the years after the Skydome first opened, when the brewing companies and CIBC invested in the team, the ballpark was frequently sold out... Toronto set attendance records!
Rogers is in business to get our money. They already own the ballpark (at great cost to the public purse, if I may add), the team and the broadcast rights to provide product for their own media businesses... what more do they need to be "encouraged" to invest? Do they expect us to launch a public drive for donations to raise $50 million so that they can finance the team's salaries, too!
Sheesh! :Eek:

I have a feeling Snider is next up, as soon as the BJ's return to a 12 man pitching staff and Johnson and Escobar are 100%.
Perry
Snider has been struggling with a wrist injury I believe. He may have come up if he were healthy. Also, bad news out of Tampa Bay. They signed Hideki Matsui, and he's already hit a homer tonite. That guy is a hitting machine.

Im watching the blue jays game, they were winning 8-1 and now it's 8-6 with two runners on. If they blow this I'm going to throw my computer at the t.v.
Nah he just hung a breaking ball is all,lol.close one for Janssen...i thought you guys jinxed him with all the praise
He's done a fine job overall and deserves a long term look.
Bet your life is just full of SURPRISES! LOL
It was nice to see them sweep a division opponent!
I like to set my expectations low and get good surprises. lol. The bats are coming to life. I like the current lineup. Thankfully Morrow's xrays were negative. He looked like Cy Young last night.
Actually, just 2 games out. The entire division is now over .500 and all within 2.5 games of the top spot. Boston is coming on. Baltimore has hit reality and TB is inconsistent.It was never in doubt.
3 games out of 1st.
