knightfisher Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 If that were the case. It would have been more entertaining to plunk José in the first game. I kinda like the suspense of keeping the Jays wondering when it was going to hit the fan.
FloatnFly Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Like any sport this is entertainment for the spectators, Rangers gave their fans a great thrill. That's what it's all about. if thats what you think makes a game entertaining, go watch WWE or something. no room for that kind of Bull in baseball. what stinky did is no less than aggravated assault! same with dyson who sucker punched the blue jays bullpen catcher as the pens were clearing. and the balls of odor to say that he respects bautista cause he plays the game hard and that its over now.....hahahhhahha isn't he funny to think its over. far from it. he just poked the hornets nest

netminder Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Yeah, he hopes the "squabbles" are over. If Bautista is still playing for the Jays next year I'd probably beg to differ.
FrankTheRabbit Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 If they meet one another in the playoffs again, it'll be a sellout for sure. lol In the papers, it mentioned that he had another dust-up with another player back in the minors. Same action...push/shove, punch thrown. Odor is a punk for sure.
kickingfrog Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Yeah, he hopes the "squabbles" are over. If Bautista is still playing for the Jays next year I'd probably beg to differ. It might not matter where Jose plays next year. A former player was talking about a bench clearing brawl he was part of back in the day. Batter is hit by pitch and next thing they know the pitcher and hitter are going at it and they all run out onto the field and pair up with someone from the other team. Not much else happened and after the game the player telling the story asked his pitcher "What was that all about?". The pitcher says that the batter hit a big homerun off of him 9-10 years ago but they'd been in different leagues since and that this was his first chance to "even the score". Little tougher for an outfielder and a second basemen to even things up but they won't forget it either.
misfish Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Rumor is, 6 games for Odor. He will appeal the suspension. LOL
FrankTheRabbit Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) 8 games for Odor 3 games & $5000 fine for Gibby 1 game for Leiper 1 game for JB 3 games for Chavez 1 game for Andrus (apparently threw a punch @ Pillar) undisclosed fines for Griffin, Chirinos, Dyson, Bush, Pillar, and Donaldson Edited May 17, 2016 by FrankTheRabbit
kickingfrog Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Switch pitcher Venditte is back up with the Jays.
LeafsFan Posted May 18, 2016 Report Posted May 18, 2016 The whole suspension thing became a joke, I mean how is Jose getting one game ... Gibby I understand since it is in the rules ... Watching some jays game I get the sense that MLB does not want the jays anywhere near the post season with some strike zones, and now the suspensions help my thoughts on this one. 8 games for the Odor is an absolute joke .... it would be the equivalent of a 4 game suspension in hockey or basketball. Mind you the jays management group is smiling at this and the past few games ... going to make them sellers, and then we can revert back to a large market but small budget team.
glen Posted May 18, 2016 Report Posted May 18, 2016 "Watching some jays game I get the sense that MLB does not want the jays anywhere near the post season with some strike zones, and now the suspensions help my thoughts on this one." Yep. Strike zone is a joke. Soon the game will be too and the fans will be gone.
jimmer Posted May 18, 2016 Report Posted May 18, 2016 Going backwards fast. Management better realize how fragile this fan base is or there won't be enough to support any type of major league baseball team.
kickingfrog Posted May 18, 2016 Report Posted May 18, 2016 Interesting that mlb players still get paid for these type of suspensions unlike hockey. And managers have zero recourse for their suspensions. No apeal no representation.
Dave Bailey Posted May 28, 2016 Report Posted May 28, 2016 wow......what a game today! epic comeback! Not epic, but EPIC!!! It really needs to be screamed. And howzabout one of the niftiest double-plays you will ever see? EVER!!! http://m.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/video/topic/8877962/v747313983/bostor-barney-snares-a-liner-to-start-a-double-play
glen Posted May 29, 2016 Report Posted May 29, 2016 Driving down the road listening the jays got a hit just as I passed another car and I see the girl do a fist pump. What a game. I thought it was a loss for sure.
ehg Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 At least Jays seem to be doing better last couple of weeks. Good thing they didn't sign David Price in off season. They ended up signing J.A. Happ and Marco Estrada for better value. 2 for price of one. If the big bats start cranking things will be alright.
John Bacon Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Hopefully this guy can turn things around. He hasn't been very effective this year, but he was pretty good the last few years.https://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/2016/05/31/blue-jays-reportedly-trade-for-veteran-reliever-jason-grilli.html Edited June 1, 2016 by JohnBacon
AKRISONER Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) new pitching coach might be able to figure out his delivery problems...although it worries me with guys like this that the video is simply giving out tells and they have him sorted. the entirety of your delivery can be difficult to change if your pitches are telling that bad. Also Pillar does the make a wish foundation thing last night, brings a girl out to throw first pitch and then steals the entire game...epic Edited June 1, 2016 by AKRISONER
jimmer Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 Great game all around last night. I hope it's a sign of better days ahead. Agreed that Pillar stole the show!
John Bacon Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Jays's making some moves... http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1059326-report-blue-jays-agree-to-acquire-melvin-upton-jr It's ironic that he just stopped calling himself B.J. Upton this year. Edited July 27, 2016 by JohnBacon
