lookinforwalleye Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 It will be interesting...despite what the stats say and leaving David Price out of the mix the Jays starting pitching worries me...you seem to get a great start or a dog breakfast...
Acountdeleted Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 That's the problem. John Gibons could do any combination of pitchers for the DCS and no one could really blame him as long as he gets Price to pitch as much as possible. Hutcheson at home? Possible. Estrada for a game? Maybe? It's such a crap shoot.
LostAnotherOne Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Can someone please explain to me why Toronto is 1 1/2 games up on the Yanks. Don't understand why it's a 1/2 game. Thanks
FloatnFly Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 you get a half game per win, so if one doesn't play, the other can gain a half game
Brettiop Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Can someone please explain to me why Toronto is 1 1/2 games up on the Yanks. Don't understand why it's a 1/2 game. Thanks Its because the Yankees have played one less game (one game at hand)....so that game is counted as both a win and loss in the standings, AKA a half a win.
Acountdeleted Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Another big series. Hutcheson is auditioning for a spot on 'walking dead'. Bad time of the year for he and Buhrle to be going through a slump. Looking back now, the Price aquasition was huge. Hopefully Strollman adds some life into the rotation. It's getting a little scary.

Yea, Hutch has been pretty frustrating all year, peaking last night....Stroman sure thinks he is ready to come in and pick right up where he was last year....lets hope so... And sorry jeremy i can only read Strollman so many times before i correct it lol....its Stroman
Acountdeleted Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I'm a math guy not a speller. I get lots of words wrong. But knowing how they are actually spelled is a good first step. I was also very excited to but an Anthony Ghost Jearsy a couple of years ago. Whoops! Edited September 10, 2015 by jeremy84

I was also very excited to but an Anthony Ghost Jearsy a couple of years ago. Whoops! Yaa, i made the wrong call on buying a Reyes jersey before he even played a game for us....he was a favorite of mine with the Mets years ago....but back then i was deciding on a Reyes vs. Lawrie so what did i know lol
Acountdeleted Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Oh. I just meant because I thought his name was Ghost and not Gose. But yeah, that's another good reason I'm glad I didn't.

netminder Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Big series starting tonight. Always nice to have that true ace in the hole after a the pitcher before poops the bed. Should be interesting to see the old school double header on Saturday. Stroman starting the second game should be fun. I hope to god he's good to go... Can't be throwing games away against the Yankees this time of year. By the way, the game difference calculation is the average of the difference between the wins and losses of the two teams. i.e. Team A is 79-60, Team B is 75-61, Team A has a 2.5 game lead on Team B => ((79-75)+(61-60))/2
fishing n autograph Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Tex is out for the season! Cmon jays!
Old Ironmaker Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) 2 run homer top of the first. Oops 3-0 first, 1 out. Wowa weewa! Edited September 11, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Old Ironmaker Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 5 zip, still 1 out, man these guys are hot,

Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Isn't today supposed to be the double header? The teams have been playing 5 hours and it isn't over, another game to follow?
Old Ironmaker Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) I guess so. I just watched the Tulowitski (sic?) injury. That was strange to say the least, talk about a delayed reaction. X Rays negative, but will not play game 2. I said about a month ago I will try to watch some baseball after 20 some odd years. I'm watching. I couldn't name 2 players a month back. Here's the band wagon someone said and I got on. That Yankee pitching was atrocious, maybe an off day but they looked scared, all 10 of them! What does a double header do to the starting rotation? Edited September 12, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
dave524 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 Still atrocious , Pennington appears to be a worthwhile addition for the Jays.
fishing n autograph Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Tulo has a small crack in his left shoulder blade and is being watched
muddler Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 It was raining in NY. I love the rain. Hope we make it rain again. I was nice to see all those empty seats near the end of the game. Kudo to the Jays fans that made it there. How sweet it is.
Acountdeleted Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Geez. I hope Tulo is not injured too too badly. Pennigton will do an adequate job until he returns. Just need Tulo back for the playoffs now. I know it's getting greedy but if the Jays take today's game that's 5.5 up on New York. That's the type of lead that sets the Jays up very well for the pennant.
FloatnFly Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) jays have an off day tomorrow, so that will put their starters back on normal rotation after the double header, the yankees head to tbay to play the rays, so they could gain a half game tomorrow the tulo injury hurts, but its not as big as people think it will be, got goins and pennington to start, both great fielders, then kawasaki, as backup, and then they just picked up a former gold glove winner in Darwin Barney from the Dodgers. The regular playing time will get Pennington in a groove for the push at the end. This team is deeeeeeeeeep. Edited September 13, 2015 by FloatnFly
davey buoy Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone in their right mind would not of expected Jays to take four from the Yankees.3 of 4 is great.That Tanaka is a heck of a pitcher.Thank goodness Troy's bat hasn't exploded yet,or his out of the line up would hurt a lot more.The back ups they have for fielding should be more than enough till he gets back.
