Blue Jays: 2015 edition

[Insidious Von]

Not a problem. We'll go out to the trail start a campfire and open a bottle of JD. Problem solved.

Btw I've signed you up to baby sit EE's macaw. He shrieks and shits a lot and only knows four words: I'm with stupid, cabron.

Amazing bird the macaw, beautiful plumage!

Assuming they are all pitching to their maximum ability...list the jay relievers in order (not how they are pitching now)

1. Osuna
2. Sanchez
3. Lowe
4. Cecil
5. Tepera (surprise)
6. Hendricks
6 and 1/2 Smith
7. Delabar
8. Hawkins
9. Loup
10. Francis

Hutch not included, he is a starter

I doubt the bird says "cabron!" . Eddie has this devout Catholic thing going. From what I could make out from his Twitter page and my fractured Espanol, his dad and mom are some sort of born again church leaders back in the DR.

 

[Perry Mason]

6 and 1/2 Smith

I take it you meant Schultz?

Otherwise I agree with your list except I would drop Delabar to #9... too bad, because I am a great fan of his and always remember that day he struck out the side for a save on 9 pitches!

Tulo was throwing today , a good sign

 

[AK-47]

That TV commercial showing an old man throwing bread crumbs at ACE (Blue Jay mascot) is so true to life. I see old folks in our local park throwing bread crumbs at birds all the time. When they are not throwing bread crumbs, they are sitting on their porch or taking up seats at the Tim Hortons in the local mall (not that they actually buy anything).

 

[SkyRider]

Damn, I fell off my bike to-day. Thank goodness I'm not an MLB player or I would be out 4-6 weeks. No, no x-rays and no MRI. Just got back on my bike and went on my merry way.

Good to have you back, Rockslinger.

Dioner Navarro HR!!!

 

[glamphotographer]

Lost today. Stroshow tomorrow. Yankees no Tanaka and no Miller. I like our chances.

I actually forgot Schultz......6 1/2 was a little joke from Nad SMITH....Schultz would be in the middle somewhere

 

[tribunus]

We need Tulo back in a major way. Goins is sucking again. Pennington is back to being Pennington. Kawasaki is a joke. And who's Barney Miller out there at 2nd?

Another quality start by our SP wasted.

Another game we should've won.

Hendricks was great in stricking out A-rod with basesloaded but why do they always pitch Beltran that way. Its like the same pitch Sanchez threw to him that snapped the win streak we had going.

We had our chances again. Encarnacion swinging at clearly at a ball with the bases loaded. Donalson striking out with the bases loaded also.

 

[AK-47]

Yogi Berra passed away last night.

RIP

I smelled something bad happening to the Jays. Offense stalled and at the same time pitchings has gone south as well (the bullpen is a concern). Donaldson looks tired from watching him on tv this month. Baseball is cyclical and it is hard to maintain a winning record every month. Jays could pick a wrong time to cool off a lot this month (5-5 L10). Not sure if Jays stayed in first place if the Yankees are at full strength with the likes of Texeira and Tanaka in the lineup. Gibby&Co need to blow out the Yanks tonight to make a statement that no matter what Jays are a much better team. Anyone thinking of the same thing like me last night that why didn't Lowe start the 8th?
Instead,Hendricks worked two innings and gave up the go ahead HR. Today is the new day and again the Jays need to blow out Nova in the first couple of innings with speed and power! Gibby,put on some running game for God's sake! (just not sitting there waiting for HR's)

 

[Nad Smith]

It was right to leave Hendricks in....he has been pitching well and in a tie game, you never know how long it is going to go. Had they taken the lead in the botttom of 7, then yes you bring in Lowe. Both Encarnacion and Donaldson looked like they were swinging for the fence, rather than just getting a good hit and scoring a run or two. Those 2 have had great seasons so cant blame them too much...but yeah looks like Josh may have hit a wall
