Blue Jays: 2016 Edition

[gcostanza]

Indians get Lucroy.

Cleveland does not get Lucroy.
He refused to waive his no-trade provision in his contract.

Lucroy demanded the Indians agree not to pick up his option for next year making him a FA after this season and Cleveland refused so Lucroy backed out.

Wow. Lucroy puts his contract ahead of winning. Puts Milwaukee in a tough spot trading this guy.

Anyways Miller is the real prize and makes the Indians the favorited to win the AL.

 

[SkyRider]

Aaron pitched well but no win.

Tulo got hit by a pitch on the hand.

Tulo got hit by a pitch on the hand

And is now out of the game.

Lets hope its just a bruise and nothing serious

 

[Butler1000]

God damn The fucking Oreos! I really hate this team. Every time we play them some kind of shit goes down.

This one Tulo and Sanders get hit. I know it's an accident but it always seems to happen with Baltimore.

I really really hate this team above all others.

 

[SkyRider]

Man this sucks.

The rain killed our plans to go to the local beach. Decided to watch the Jays on TV. Tulo gets hit in the hand. Jays couldn't win in 9. Extra innings now.

 

[Ref]

I was surprised they didn't pinch run Upton for Saunders when he got on base. Maybe they are saving his bat for when the DH spot comes up to bat...

 

[SkyRider]

Get your swimming shorts ready

I think Lake Ontario is now at it warmest. This is when they usually do the Lake Ontario swims.

I really wish MLB came up with a better way to decide tie games instead of going extra innings.

I have shit to do this afternoon

Definitely need some kind of tiebreaker. (Goin hurt his arm because of extra innings.) Maybe play only 8 men on the field? Then 7 men on the field?

 

[AK-47]

Jays need a 2nd lefty in the pen to complement Cecil.
Morales isnt good enough, he barely tops out at 89mph on the gun

 

[ultistar]

Anothe bullpen meltdown, batting practice Chavez throw fuel on the fire. Atkins better get busy, less than 24hrs to trade deadline.

 

[AK-47]

Tulo has a small fracture in his thumb

 

[gcostanza]

Oh well, a sweep against the Os was a tall order. Taking 2 of 3 is still huge.

Meatloaf said it best: Two out of three ain't bad.

 

[Keebler Elf]

I hate when the Jays go into extra innings and just burn through their pitchers like every inning is the last one. Then they start to run out and/or run into someone that's still pitching cold and it burns them.

 

[Nad Smith]

easy to blame the pitchers...but the offense virtually shut down from the fourth inning on......we don't score much against other bullpens

 

[saxon]

Tulo has a small fracture in his thumb

Makes you wonder, Tulo blasts a mammoth home run off Tillman and then he throws hard inside and breaks Tulo's thumb. Tulo will probably have to go on the DL, after the game he said it's not too bad but it's swelled up like a balloon. Doesn't look good, just when he was turning things around at the plate, then again Tulo always finds a way to hit the DL at least twice every season.

 

[AK-47]

Wilner said Jays might still make a trade before deadline for a starting pitcher.

If they do then Sanchez will likely be temporarily moved to the bullpen

Ugh knowing the slow healer, he's probably gone for a month at least. He was finally playing so well. Blow to our playoff chances.
