Farrell said they went with who the AAA staff told them should get the call. Or at least were heavily influenced by it.

Pitch 6 is called strike 3 to Encarnacion to end the 6th.

Just doing his part to encourage AA to start selling off whatever short-term pieces he can get value for.

... if they don't get hurt first. This is beyond crazy.

Haha, Wilner with a rare gem;
Mike Wilner @Wilnerness590
Edwin Encarnacion flies out to RF for 2nd out of top4, is now headed back to the clubhouse to be bubble-wrapped. #Bluejays #jays

That's kind of the crazy thing about all this - just about everyone that is on the DL right now is a longer-term piece. The short-term guys have been relatively healthy, so far.

Is Hech a given for next year? If so, yeah, Johnson could be gone. - Though I'm still not sure who plays 2B or SS... Hech or Escobar?

There aren't a lot of options available at 2B, so Johnson may be more valuable that we think. Other than that, Oliver, Cordero, etc. Veteran bullpen arms always have value to contending teams. Davis would have some value as well.
The really bad news is that teams like Boston had their injury crises in the first half, and are now getting guys back for the stretch run. The Jays seem to be doing the opposite.
Luckily Lowrie is just a bruise.
It looks like the Jays will get swept away in this series. I REALLY hope they rebound in Boston, or this could be the start of a very Leaflike collapse right out of the playoff hunt.

Hopefully some better luck in dysfunction junction.
Sorry but I haven't been following the Jays very closely like I did when I was in high school (90s), but aside from spending $$, it seems we can never get a top performing team. On paper, when we had Wells etc, it seemed like we would challenge for at least a wild card. Look at Tampa Bay, they have a lower payroll and were able to make the playoffs. Why can't we be like them?
Also, what's up with all these pitchers getting arm injuries? Is the pitching coach trying to change their delivery or arm motion that it's now straining their arms?
Again, I haven't been following in depth lately so don't crucify me because of my comments. Just from a big picture kinda view, it just seems like we're just not improving even though we have all this youth and have been stockpiling players.
