muddler Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) They're not good enough to be "pretty bad". The Jays are sending a message to the Rangers and they are trying to slam the door on them. Jays in 5. Opps, Rangers just got a couple. Done! Can't wait till Wednesday.

leaf4 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Wooowooooooo! Price looked like they had his number for a bit, glad they worked their way to the end but dickey was pitching a gem I think they shoulda left him in another inning or two Edited October 12, 2015 by Lucas F
ccmtcanada Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 While I think Dickie could have pitched longer, you have to love his class. He said something like when you don't care who takes credit, it's amazing what a team can do. He also said when you see a guy like David Price running in to take the ball, you have to feel good about that. Gibby explained that he made the change because of Choo coming up and Price being a better matchup. Also, in order to avoid the lineup seeing Dickie for another round. While not put a guy who throws mid 90's to their order after coming from a knuckle baller? At any rate, they won....there is a game 5. I'm happy with that!
FrankTheRabbit Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Nice win by the Jays! It was aggravating reading Simmons recap, over at the Toronto Sun, when they were down 2-0. He already wrote down the Jays saying they were lacking in depth in both pitching and hitting and pretty much insinuated that they were going to get swept. Man, I really hope the Jays win and shove it his face. How is that guy able to write in the Sports column???

But it's just too tempting to confirm that I think he's a tool when he writes about sports in Toronto. Lol. I thought that the first two games, the Jays didn't execute to their potential. Even their win in Game 3, they left the bases loaded two times. Today's game was definitely a different story and a game played that we've all seen before. Getting on base and hitting HRs. These playoffs are all about momentum and right now, the Rangers have no answer to our bullpen.
FloatnFly Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Stroman vs Hamels, game 5, 4th lefty in a row the Jays will be seeing, should be interesting, i'll be on edge and a caged lion at work wednesday afternoot

How is that guy able to write in the Sports column??? lacking hitting depth? lolllllll the best offense in the entire league by a mile, and literally one of the greatest offenses of all time (actual fact) is lacking hitting depth ahahahhaa GO JAYS! by the way I was at the game friday, after the game i literally felt half dead, i had a splitting headache any my nerves were shot. 6 hours of that much stress is painful but worth it.
lookinforwalleye Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 would not worry too much about Simmonds you gave him the exact reaction he was looking for and he has been doing that for longer than you guys have been on this planet...Simmonds has not really been relevant for years!!!
netminder Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 The Jays have a much better chance against a lefty and Stroman was likely the better option over Price regardless for game 5. The Jays have found their stroke again and have realized that the don't need to aim for the 500 level with every swing. The Rangers pitching is terrified of them and keep throwing down and away. They look terrified and over-matched. I was just over on the Sportsnet website and going through the comments I can't believe how much second guessing of the move to bring in Price there was. Listen to Gibby after the game. He explained it perfectly. Slam the door while they're a quarter mile down the road. When the Jays went up 7-0 I said to myself that they should just make a complete joke of this game. Bringing in Price before they could even think about getting something going was the perfect move. And as I said, I have more confidence in Stroman right now anyway. By the way, I have tickets to tomorrow's game. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve lol.
AKRISONER Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 enjoy the game netminder! the atmosphere is electric to say the least. If you dont come home completely horse you arent cheering hard enough. The whole price move also has to do with ensuring Price isnt sitting for 11 days again. 4 days rest...he throws...then 4 more days and we are in round 2!
lookinforwalleye Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 I think the move was more to ensure that Price was sitting and Stroman was starting Game 5...
FloatnFly Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I think the move was more to ensure that Price was sitting and Stroman was starting Game 5... uh no, Gibbons said the game before, he will use price or stroman out of the bullpen in game 4, whoever comes out of the pen will not get the start in game 5. now, going back to pitching change, remember, dickey hadn't pitched in 10 days, hes up to 75 pitches, its hot, 35 celcius at game time, and knuckleballs need a dry hand to be effective. could dickey have pitched the one more out, sure, but you have a string of left handed batters coming up. no brett cecil, only other lefty is Loup who wasn't available due to family matters my thoughts are this, if the guy being pulled isn't pissed off or upset about it, then why should people who aren't in the game be upset about it Edited October 13, 2015 by FloatnFly
FrankTheRabbit Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 With Cecil injured and Loup away, there were no other lefties to match up with. Wouldn't hurt that Stroman pitches Game 5 either. Rangers seem to have Price dialled in.

lookinforwalleye Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Oh I am not upset about it I would much rather have the kid starting....Price has been mediocre at best lately....good thing we had a big lead yesterday because he just might have coughed up the lead!!!
FloatnFly Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 long as stroman can keep his emotions in check he'll be good. even though its game 5, its just baseball, its just another game, nothings changed
Acountdeleted Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 I think Stroman is the right selection for game 5. The kid takes a big step on Wednesday. This may be a story we are telling our grand kids years from now.
muddler Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 We're just getting started on the next 11 game winning streak. 2 down, 9 to go. A good Ranger bashing is in order.
JoshS Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 They probably made up their mid to throw Stroman in game 5 before yesterday's game. I know there are a lot of critics out there but it makes sense what gibby did yesterday. Shut the door on texas with a lefty and leave him in as long as he could until we could throw sanchez in. Maybe Dicky could of gone longer considering the score and inning, but gibby didn't want to get texas going... and with Choo up and lots of game left, he wanted his lefty in. I still hope we have price ready in the pen should we need him in game 5. What a great game though! Such a great feeling seeing the boys light up texas finally, and the smiles and celebrations on the bench. If we were to end up 2-2, I'm kind of glad we won in texas going into game 5 with this momentum. Tomorrow is going to be fun.
fishing n autograph Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 My response to the whole Dickie thing is... Who cares they won. It was do or die, why let them up off the mat? Secondly he had a man on and choo and fielder up and combined they were 4/4 against him. It could have easily been 7-4 in two batters so just leave it be and get ready for game 5! Go jays!

This may be a story we are telling our grand kids years from now.The team gets real fired up when he pitches because of his intensity and positive hard working attitude
FloatnFly Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 Theres a petition now to MLB to open the roof tomorrow afternoon, only thing is the temps may be too low for the operating guide
FrankTheRabbit Posted October 14, 2015 Report Posted October 14, 2015 Dunno about you fellas, but I can't seem to stay concentrated on work and I keep glancing at the clock every 15 minutes. lol
