***Official Jays Thread*** They spent $234 Million on this? (3 Viewers)

[Northern Voice]

So worst case, leaving New York up 1.5 games. Given the way they've played everyone lately and New York all year, 3.5 seems pretty likely.

 

[Parmcat]

Tulo has a cracked scapula? Is that season ending?

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Tulo with a crack in his shoulder blade and now Edwin pulled after an awkward swing... Uh-oh.

On the bright side, Stroman looked pretty good and the Yankees pitching is horrific.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Tulo has a cracked scapula? Is that season ending?

Gotta think he's either done or back right away. Bone isn't going to heal that quick but maybe he'll be able to play through it.

 

[Northern Voice]

4.5 up with 20 to go? That should work.

 

[hxperson]

Costly games but at least they won them. I'm wiped! Don't even feel like watching football tomorrow any more.

 

[Northern Voice]

This needs to be a sweep vs. ATL.

Saw this AM, 3100 new season ticket holders for 2016. Also read this morning plans are to pick up Dickey's option, Shapiro wants AA to stay and they plan to take a run at re-signing Price.

 

[falguy]

I hope they give 110% to signing Price. Not only is he one of the best pitchers (and reliable) he seems to be one of the best teammates around. Re-sign him and they are automatically the odds-on favorite to win the East next season.

 

[Parmcat]

Hutch has been moved to the pen, and Estrada will make his next start. Looks like Stroman will have a couple of more starts to show what he has

Hits ya right in the childhood.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Oh, and Stroman looks fantastic.

 

[Northern Voice]

So Price, Stroman, Dickey, Estrada, right?

Will be interesting to see if Buehrle makes the playoff roster, feel like he may be a situational lefty in playoffs just to have him in the club house.

 

[falguy]

They have to have him on the roster (if they get that far ) There will be at least one game where the need a long guy. I cannot imagine they would not have him on the roster. I still have more faith in him than Loup or Francis.

Non-active roster guys are still in the clubhouse/dugout during those games.

 

[Northern Voice]

Josh Donaldson: best Blue Jay since Alomar or best Blue Jay ever?

I stand by this, BTW.

 

[Northern Voice]

This was NV, wasn't it?

I actually had tickets Saturday and Sunday, but I sold both pairs (I bought a 6-pack of tickets and selling those 2 pairs more than paid for all 6). I am going down to all three games of the Jays/Yankees series starting tonight though.

 

[Northern Voice]

Last night was awesome, Price is amazing, Cecil is lights out, back down again tonight, hopefully they get to Severino early again.

 

[Parmcat]

Sanchez has lots his set up roll for now...possibly goes to Lowe and Cecil.

Smoak CAN NOT hit a curve ball, and the league knows it.

Missing Tulo more then realized

Can Dioner play 1B?

 

[Northern Voice]

Everything Stroman does fills me with joy.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Thank gawd for Stroman, Price and Cecil. Don't trust a single arm on this team outside of them. They were all lights out for a month and now can't do a damn thing.

 

[Northern Voice]

Postseason clinched, will take a disaster to not win the division and one game back of KC for home field. Sounds like Tulo may return soon as well.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Nice matchup today

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Guess it won't be a pitchers duel...

 

[Cliff Clavin]

9 runs in 2.5 innings with Price and Archer pitching. Makes sense.

Craziness.

 

[Northern Voice]

David Price dumping popcorn over Josh Donaldson's head while shouting MVP after Donaldson hit another walk off HR to give the Jays their 90th win of the season.

What a great ####### year.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Of course Zaun sides with Papelboner. What an idiot.

 

[Zigg]

Of course Zaun sides with Papelboner. What an idiot.

An ####### is an ####### regardless of how long he's been in the league. I hope I never understand Zaun and others stupid line of thinking.

 

[Northern Voice]

He's Zaun Cherry for a reason.

Also, Tulo back in next couple days

 

[Zigg]

Tabler must have said "down under" 91 times that inning.

 

[Northern Voice]

Royals and Yankees keep losing, looking forward to the double header tomorrow.

Norris threw 54 pitches in the first inning tonight, I hope Ausmus doesn't #### him up.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Norris threw 54 pitches in the first inning tonight, I hope Ausmus doesn't #### him up.

I know this for gambling reasons, but he's had him on a pretty strict PC down the stretch.

 

[Northern Voice]

So IF the Jays win game 1 of the double header, and clinch, the Game 2 lineup will be ridiculously bad, right?

 

[Cliff Clavin]

From Bluebird Banter:

CF Dalton Pompey

3B Munenori Kawasaki

SS Troy Tulowitzki (gotta get him reps) <----------Not happening. Could be Pennington

DH Matt Hague

1B Chris Colabello

RF Ezequiel Carrera

LF Jonathan Diaz (give him a callup from Dunedin)

2B Darwin Barney

C Josh Thole

#BlueJays post-clinch lineup, I'd go:

Pompey 8

Carrera 7

Tulo 0

Saunders 9

Price 3

Hutch 6

Stroman 4

Gibby 2

Kawa 5

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Tapper back to the mound = little league HR. Well done LOLrioles.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

And we'll be getting to see the B-team tonight.

 

[Northern Voice]

This is amazing, #### the Orioles so hard.

 

[Northern Voice]

@RGriffinStar: No surprises G2 #BlueJays lineup: Pompey 8; Pennington 7; Carrera 9; Colabello dh; Hague 3; Thole 2; Kawasaki 5; Barney 4; Jonathan Diaz 6.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

4 to clinch the AL?

 

[Northern Voice]

Everyone drinking from fountain cups in the dugout here in game 2. Awesome.

 

[Northern Voice]

AA's post game speech

 

[Koya]

Congrats Neighborinos!

 

[Northern Voice]

I DON'T KNOW WHO I LOVE THE MOST.

Gibby for being the ####### best and for being hated on because he talks like a southerner.

Stroman for endless positivity in any circumstance.

Donaldson for being the ### ####ed MVP.

Bautista for 6 years of being an awesome all star.

Price for being the most engaging Toronto sports personality in forever.

Edwin for taking so many parrots for walks.

Anthopolous for making EVERYTHING HAPPEN.

Tulo for being Troy Tulowitzki.

#lovethisteam so much. I may have been drinking through the celebrations.

Also, this team is going to bankrupt me buying tickets shirts and beer to watch the road games.

 

[Northern Voice]

I feel like the noon start tomorrow may not favour the Jays

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Gibby says the b team is being rolled out again tomorrow.

 

[Northern Voice]

Gibby says the b team is being rolled out again tomorrow.

Presumably because the starters are all experiencing "flu-like symptoms".

 

[Koya]

Gibby says the b team is being rolled out again tomorrow.

Isn't Price slated to start? Is that still the case, or is he going to be skipped with one warm up then before playoffs?

Hutchison now. Price was lined up as an "if neccesary" for a tie breaker or wild card game, but with the clinch, he's pushed back now.
