The 2017 Blue Jay season thread
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
With luck Sanchez goes to rehab in a week. Bags still has 3 more starts ?Biagini just got completely rocked!! Is he ready for the complete starter role??
I dont know
Howie Kendrick of the Phillies??? But the Phillies may want to wait closer to the trade deadline to get the most out of trading him. The Jays may not have what it will take to get him though
Out of his 5 starts or whatever he's had, two have been bad, 3 have been good. Probably better than your average 5th starter. Most teams don't even really have 4th and 5th starters.Biagini just got completely rocked!! Is he ready for the complete starter role??

Too soon to tell. Even the best pitchers have the occasional stinker. Just sayin'.Biagini just got completely rocked!! Is he ready for the complete starter role??

I wouldn't judge him on that until he gets the chance to start after a full off-season knowing it's coming. Asking him to go from reliever to starter mid-season isn't a fair expectation.
Frustrating thing is that the Yankees start to cool off a bit. Jays cannot do anything to make up ground in the lowly ALE! Jays missed Travis bats more than I expected.
I'm not sure what the timing of his bad start has to do with weather or not he should be a starter.
Looks like Pillar is not a 300 hitter after all and JB is 240 hitter with 30 homer at best very hot cold with his swing timing and same with production from catching and Tulo and with Travis gone without Smoak we would be in deep trouble

he is gone. possibly fired, possibly mutual agreement, depending on what you read and where you read it!
I hate to say it but this may BE the 2017 Toronto Blue Jays. We're now almost 3 full months in and we keep hearing how everything will get better once the injured players come back but more just keep getting injured and the hitting continues to be hot or cold and dependent on the long ball. Unfortunately, this may just be what the 2017 Jays are... a bottom tier team (in the East).
This is why I dont think the Jays will ever win a WS with their current long ball strategy. They need a better blend of high average hitters along with some speed on the basepaths. When you play in ALCS or WS you're gonna face the best of the best pitchers, and you're not always gonna be able to swing for the fences against pitchers like that
