Toronto Blue Jays

[Zorro]

I am surprised that the Tampa Bay Rays are doing as well as they are too. I thought they were supposed to be retooling. They are right in the thick of it themselves.

Nothing about the Rays surprises me anymore.. They have dominated the Jays for a long time now..

I just hope we can go into New York and win the series!!

One more win and it will be the longest winning streak in Jays history!!

[The Black Panther]

Oh well there saying he might only miss one game.

They need a couple of SPs bad

Cobb, Moore, Bellatti, Odorzzi and Smyly all on the DL, and Jennings and Loney not doing well this yr. I was expecting them to turn over at some point. That team if healthy would be very good. But that’s baseball, you gotta play through the inevitable injuries.

[Dobber]

Sanchez should be the closer anyway. And since SPs are impossible to acquire, I'm more than comfortable giving Scott Copeland another look with Sanchez shutting the door in the 9th

John Farrell is a horrible manager. Jason Varitek needs to take over ASAP

I also hate the voting in for All-Stars. Look at the voting:

I hate how Semien is actually up there. He’s got like 22errors or something crazy this yr. The leader in the AL last yr was Donaldson with 23. The most amount of errors in the last 15 years was Jose Valentin with 36.

[The Black Panther]

The groan you are hearing is coming from the pit of my stomach everytime NoahS ks a batter. Thx AA. Never liked that trade.

[blayze]

Jose Bautista with the clutch 9th HR!!! Common boys, let's set the record for 12 in a row!!!!

Never thought I'd be watching a regular season baseball game over a cup clinching final lol

[The Black Panther]

Ive had it with cecil. Grrrrrr. Get Paps or somebody!!!!!

[blayze]

That's heart breaking... down to the last strike in the bottom of the 11th and Cecil chokes. ****!

[Zorro]

Actually Cecil did his job and the Jays should have got a double play before that RBI single that tied it up..

Not sure the double play was there, but he definitely should have gone to 2nd and tried for it.

Doesn't change the fact that Cecil was shaky that entire inning... ugh so disappointing!

[Axeman33]

Cecil is not a closer. When is AA/JG going to figure this out. I hate watching them let another one slip away when they had it in their hands.

I felt as soon as he had the runner going back towards first, throw that ball to first base, get the force and then have that other runner in a run down.. But I guess that's easy to say after the fact!!

Sucks how for the first time in 11 games our bats were quiet except for Joey. I’m not blaming anyone on this game, tough all the way through. With a couple of outs, you wish Reyes was given the call to steal, and maybe not as massive as a shift in the outfield but hindsight is 20/20, the key is to not go on a losing streak here, shake your head and keep moving forward.

After going against Syndergaard, they get another hard thrower in Harvey, so hopefully they have adjusted to the speed because it’ll be another tough one. Guys like Colla, Pillar, Donaldson, and even Edwin, with the hard throwers, just get your bat on it, with the speed coming in you’ll hammer it without much force.
