Blue Jays: 2016 Edition

[Twister]

Marco, big game pitcher!

They should've left him in...they were going to win

 

[Nad Smith]

Marc OOO OOO OO!!!

 

[Frankunderwood]

Upton has speed, so does barney, he'll even Stroman(who they used in the past).

Four outfielders are enough

They have 5 outfielders. 6 if you count Barney.

 

[Twister]

Praying for Jose to hit a homer in Texas...

Yesss

 

[MrMessi]

This is how you play when you despise the opposing team, they were upset and took it out on them!!

CanMan got off easy. He's only getting charged with public mischief:

Getting close to the end of an interesting social media incident.

The amateur sleuths and video breakdown analysis was fun to read/watch and the comments posted on numerous forms were hilarious.

Poor schmuck...

Be this as a lesson for all - Whatever you do in the general public, chances are it will be recorded.

I'm perplexed.
More than 3 weeks after the Blue Jays season was declared over, they're still playing games.

I had them missing the wild card game.

I have been wrong before and will be wrong again, but at least I have fun while I am doing it.

After an ugly 11-16 Sept, Undefeated in October

We score a major league low of 100 runs in Sept and now in the 2 playoff games we score 15 runs. Wtf?!

 

[AK-47]

Just a reminder, tomorrow's first pitch is 1:08pm ET

 

[ultistar]

Saunders was a deserving Allstar in the first half but he has sucked since so am happy to see Carrera and Upton in the field. Saunders may be playing thru injury but it's time to win. No time for loyalty, just play the best lineup.

 

[tribunus]

Rangers are a paper tiger. They got fat beating up on Oakland & LAA all season. After Hamels & Darvish, the best they can offer up are Lewis & Holland? The only guys that scare me in that lineup are Odor & Beltre.

It could have been a different outcome, Showalter did not use Britton who is virtually unhittable. Even though it wasn't a save situation, teams have used their closer to shut down opposition until they can score runs to take lead, especailly in a must win game.

Any ways, on to Texas!

I believe that Showalter made the correct call not bring Britton in to pitch the 11th inning. Britton could only give you 2 innings. What happen after 2 innings when Britton leaves the game, and the game is still tie, then the top of the inning the Bal takes the lead? Who are you going to bring in to pitch the bottom of the inning to shut down the Jays?

 

[SkyRider]

You cant do that, because it would mess with historical records.

Baseball went from 154 to 162 games. Hockey went from 50 to 70 to 82 games. World Series records would still be good as it is a best of 7.

All the MLB records prior to Jackie Robinson (1948?) are suspect.

I will accept your logic but in the 11th with runners on the corners, EE, JB coming up, Jiminez throwing meatballs and your season on the line, you toss in your closer.

 

[glamphotographer]

I fear that the Jays bats will go stale next game.

Yep can't argue with that. It's ok if it was a 5 game series but it's do or die.

I have just seem a clear video of the guy who threw the beer can. His name is Ken Pagan. I can clearly see in the video evidence that he was the guy who threw the beer can out from the stand. He hided the beer can behind his back while holding a cup in front of his hand. He then lied and said it wasn't him that threw the beer can.

If your a Jays fan, it's the correct call. Thank You Buck.

POLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of starting pitchers, I think David Price would be number 3 or 4 in the Jays rotation. His W-L is deceiving because he pitches for the best offense in baseball.
