AKRISONER Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Booooo! Two teams on a mission meeting should be interesting, I'm excited to get this started, confident the jays can take the indians....But they gotta play the games to find out! Our bullpen sure could get exposed if one of our first two starters have to be taken out early....thats my biggest worry, Liriano needs to get back and be effective come game 2... bullpen has now pitched 7+ (feel free to correct my number) innings of consecutive shut out baseball.
Headhunter Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 My biggest concern was taken care of yesterday. I was concerned that the Jays would be sitting until Friday and might have to face a team that has had no break between games. The Indians took care of that by beating the Red Sox, so at this point, both the Jays and the Indians will have to fight to get their hitting/timing back in place. The other concern, would be playing in Cleveland at night. Our players are quite used to playing on controlled conditions. It gets pretty nasty by the lake in October, let's hope the Jays can handle it. HH

Indeed on playing the games to find out. Should be a heck'of a series. Tribe will not have 2 of their 5 starting pitchers going forward, but that hasn't slowed them yet. Can't wait for Friday to get this thing started...
Brettiop Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) bullpen has now pitched 7+ (feel free to correct my number) innings of consecutive shut out baseball. They have been fantastic thus far! But....if they happened to lose sundays game......they were in tough for the next two games. Everyone in the bullpen who is any good, wouldnt have been available. I have lots of faith is Biagin, Cecil, Grilli, Osuna.....beyond that??? scares me.... This being a 7 game series makes it even more worrysome....still confident they can get it done, but if we lose this series my money would be on the bullpen being overworked and giving up some dingers.... Very helpful they won that game, they need the rest bad. Edited October 11, 2016 by Brettiop
FloatnFly Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 They will take care of business, stroman for game 1, estrada, happ then sanchez. bull pen will be fine. they've been pitching must win games for a month. thats the downfall of a big lead for the division, you get a little too relaxed

Old Ironmaker Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 This should be interesting, both teams swept good ball clubs. Bring on the Cleveland capital "C"s.
FloatnFly Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Looks like Estrada goes in game 1 yep, not sure why. but if they go normal rotation, will mean stroman won't have pitched for 14 days.....
Brettiop Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 yep, not sure why. but if they go normal rotation, will mean stroman won't have pitched for 14 days..... They want Estrada going twice in the series...he is a boss! http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-rangers-worst-swings-against-marco-estrada/ this is an amazing article if any of you haven't seen it.
FloatnFly Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 lets hope the birds are in cleveland acclimating themselves, gonna be a cold night

glen Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 On 590 today host says jays complain about calls behind the plate too much. He says now they arnt going to get the right calls. So the ump. Dosent call it how it is eh. The game can be lost on one bad call. Not very sporting.
Old Ironmaker Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Man that place has never been quieter, until this 7th inning hit.
Tom McCutcheon Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 I don't believe in omens, but that Sax rendition of Oh Canada sounded like a funeral march..... Definitely different.
kickingfrog Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Not much to do now. Win this game, then worry about the next. Wash. Repeat. Or as Crash would say, "Win one game at a time".
Old Ironmaker Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Time to go to the bullpen, top of the 5th. Sanchez is done for now, what's Skipper waiting for? MVP snag and throw, wowza. Beauty play. Edited October 18, 2016 by Old Ironmaker
Beans Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Posted October 20, 2016 Bye...Bye...Birdies Maybe next year...
Old Ironmaker Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 I feel very badly for the younger fans that weren't old enough or born even to enjoy (enjoy isn't strong enough) the back to back World Series wins. There is a base there on this club for the next few years. Things have changed which makes keeping a team together tough but don't forget we old timers watched them loose 3 ALCS series, KC, Oakland and Minnesota before they finally made it to the Big Show and then they won it both years back to back. I still have the Sun's page 1 from then framed, " BACK TO BACK"
Tom McCutcheon Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 My wife and I and 4 other friends were at game 6 when Joe hit the Home Run....I still have the ticket stubs, but I lost the BACK TO BACK front page....
AKRISONER Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 was happy to hear the crowd chant jose loudly in his last at bat in the Blue.
Acountdeleted Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 Was a heck of a season. A little disappointing only because Cleveland was missing 3/5 of its starting rotation. Will be interesting to see what the Jays do in the offseason. I like Edwin but there are a lot of big name corners out there.
jimmer Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 They still have home run power without Edwin and Jose, what they need are more guys that can get on base. I think losing Devon Travis hurt them for on base percentage. Would like to see Edwin back though.
kickingfrog Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 Flipped to the NLCS tonight and it took less than 5 seconds to see the difference in the quality of the production from that junk that we had with tbs.
