FloatnFly Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 The bats have always been there, they've just improved greatly defensively, they have a true outfielder, not an infielder trying to play left field, they've upgraded their SS, who can take hits away, like we saw yesterday a few times, they added Price and Hawkins which have added a more experienced veterans to help the youngsters, the pitchers, because of the great defense behind them, are now confident to pitch to contact, instead of trying to make the perfect pitch every time. and their bench players are pretty damn good. With September coming and going to a 40man roster, this team will only deeper and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I was honestly concerned with how the outcome would be going into LAA, after they didn't seem to show up against Philly. Wow. Was I wrong... And if any team isn't paying attention, they sure are now. That was an absolute curb-stomping of a team who is supposed to be contending. While personal awards aren't really that important, it would be nice to see JD get recognized as the AL MVP. I'm sure the head-to-head matchup there against Trout will only help his cause.

Acountdeleted Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 That show just how much faith the pitching has in the D. They don't have to try to paint the corners or pitch around guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yanks and Jays now have identical records. No more game in hand excuses for the rest of the season. Time for the sprint to the finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostAnotherOne Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 One question. Is there a salary cap in baseball? I heard that there was and some teams go over it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 One question. Is there a salary cap in baseball? I heard that there was and some teams go over it. Thanks No hard cap like there is in the NHL. There may be a luxury tax on high salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch4113 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Good article on how the "luxury tax" in MLB works -> http://www.sportingcharts.com/articles/mlb/explaining-the-luxury-tax-in-major-league-baseball.aspx. I had not really understood it myself. Now I get why the Yankees were so big on reducing payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brettiop Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 How about that for a ninth inning! What an awesome game...the jays just wont quit. Price going tomorrow to secure the series win...ill never get tired of saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Guys dont forget that texas is literally the second best team in baseball right now...and the jays are doing that to them...they were absolutely on fire until running into the heavy bats of the jays.

fishing n autograph Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I was falling asleep in the 8th inning when the Rangers had a man in first and second with one out. I turned the game off thinking it was over and got a pleasant surprise when I woke up this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleye72 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Tulowitzki is finally getting his hitting going, especially when it counts. That was a great 9th inning last night. Well, if you're a Jays fan. I was surprised their closer walked Martin. He was definitely not up to his usual standards. Price pitches tonight. Can't wait. Now, what to make to enjoy the game. Classic loaded nachos and a beer. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 It's amazing how luck can fall the Jays way when they are at the top of their game. How many 3rd basemen throw that ball wide with 2 out in the 9th inning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 If JD doesn't hustle right out of the box on that hit, the Jays lose. Aggressive play has created their "luck" and to some degree and has surprised some teams. Fun to watch with 30 odd games left to play! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
