OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[UWHabs]

not sure that's allowed tho?

I think the 13 pitchers is a max, not a requirement

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Astros beat the Mariners who now fall 3 games back.

Any of the bold starting with the big club next season in your opinion

 

[zeke]

Schneider likely. Though he's no lock to stay on the team.

Horwitz definitely possible. He'll be 26 next year and should be an averagish bat so he's fine to keep on the bench unless we have something way better.

Orelvis i'd rather they start in AAA until he starts dominating there.

Barger had a terrible season unfortunately. he's got a lot of work to do to earn a shot.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Reds expected to decline Votto option.

Belt replacement?

 

[axlsalinger]

No.

Votto to retirement and the broadcast booth.

 

[zeke]

speaking of, Belt is back today, horwitz down.

Robot umps please

I would be very leery of guaranteeing too many non bench jobs to this lot.

The Padres are cutting payroll from 240 to 200M

There are many many players we should be calling on over there.

Romano again....

 

[Jeremy]

It’s alright, they still should be good to make the playoffs.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Poor Gausman.

 

[UWHabs]

Seattle beating Houston, gets them within half a game of Houston. Doesn't help the Jays, but there's definitely a strong part of me that would love for Seattle to make it, and push out one of Houston or Texas.

Romano again....

Like I said it seems like this guy needs a 3 run lead minimum. But I know people will respond with numbers to prove otherwise. But damn it seems often that he comes in and bang 2 runs scored.

I mean, his ERA is below 3, so obviously that doesn't happen most times. But he and Gausman do generally need more than 0 runs of support, yes.

 

[wiseguy1]

Game over.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

These bats just can't be relied on to come through.
