2012 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

Hahahaha

 

[The Red Polar Bear]

Jays signed Moyer to a minor league deal.

It's amazing when Vizquel isn't the oldest player on a team anymore

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Well he's not on the team.  It's like Guerrero, no risk.

 

[Deebo]

D'arnaud out for 6-8 weeks.

 

[Deebo]

Alvarez has mild elbow inflammation, should make his next start.

Alvarez has mild elbow inflammation, should make his next start.

I'm starting to get a little concerned with the pitching staff (coaching).  3 of 5 starters out with elbow injuries.  Maybe they need to take a look at how they are handling a young pitching staff a little more carefully.

 

[Peter D.]

Well that game went off the rails pretty quickly.  :-\

MLB HR leaders since Sept 1/'09 - Bautista 132, Pujols 97, Fielder 92 #BlueJays

That's pretty impressive and quite the gap.

But it's not like it's just a Jays thing.  So many teams have pitching injuries this season already.

Lind has two HR's and 4 RBI in the game tonight.

Oh, and Aaron Hill just hit for the cycle for the 2nd time in 11 days.

It was a trade that essentially helped both teams out, but Arizona wins this one.  Hill has rebounded pretty well and Johnson's kind of a wishy-washy defensive guy who not providing that .800 OPS kind of production that lets you forget about his mediocre defense. 

It's nice to see Hill rebound though because he was playing his way out of the league.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

So, just two more cycles and he'll have hit for the cycle of cycles?

I believe it's called a bicycle.

 

[Kin]

Anyone out there who thinks saves or blown saves are meaningful stats should look at tonights game. Scott Richmond "blew a save" after coming in to pitch in the top of the sixth.

Somehow a bicycle sounds like a greater accomplishment than a tricycle.

Went on vacation for three weeks and came back and the Jays are more or less where I expected they would be - still hanging around the .500 mark, winning a few, losing a few. What I didn't expect was the injuries to the pitching staff.

Good to see Bautista surging in home runs again, and Lawrie and Rasmus seem to be doing really well at the top of the order.

11-1 Jays in the 5th. Hopefully Alvarez can go the distance in this one - only 56 pitches thrown through 5 innings!

 

[L K]

Bautista is going to the All-Star game as a starter.  The downside is he is the only Jay going.

 

[TML fan]

Cordero is effing useless.

 

[Deebo]

He gave up 2ER in his last 16 appearances before today.

No doubt he was terrible today though.

Love those Canada uniforms the Jays wear on Canada Day (the jersey).  Looks splendid.
