I was so disappointed, IRBS. Talk about having an off day - the whole team was off. Don't know what to expect tonight. One thing is for sure, my expectations are so low that they can only go up. GO JAYS!!!
first of all, the starters and the batters have to step up and do it themselves,at least for a while, till the jays decide to heave a few of those bullpen pitchers out on their arces, and bring in something fresh. and secondly, don't
have expectations, there is always another team out there who can play, and want to win, so they
just might.
Jay's Happ comes through with an 8 and 2/3rd's scoreless innings against the Giants. Tulo silenced many of his critics after he went 2 for 3 and was involved in all of the Jay's scoring. He hit a home-run, hit a sacrifice fly that sent Michael Sanders home after the latter hit a triple, then he had an RBI double and ended the day scoring himself. Good game for the Jays.
I always have expectations, talloola.............I just don't let them get too high......most of the time. :smile:

2 impressive wins. I think it is time to reserve my seat on Bay Street for the World Series victory parade.

:smile: Now that's having expectations! :lol:
Jay's last game of the series not lacking in highs and lows. The outfield errors are piling up. We're going to the bottom of the 11th tied 4 - 4.
And now onto the bottom of the 12th........these guys are going to be tired puppies - good thing they have tomorrow off.
Maybe 13 will be the Jay's lucky number because that is were we are going.
Giants win in the 13th 5 to 4. The Jay's outfield really needs to get their stuff together.

surprised the bullpen lasted as long as it did. too bad offense disappeared after 9.
yeah, and as much as I dislike watching dickie pitch, I did watch tonight, along with hockey game,
and he was 'lights out', seems the warmer weather helps him pitch better, so, hope it continues.
Thanks heavens for remote controls for our TVs. Glad to see Dickie go all 8 innings for the Jays but he's not the only one delivering in a big way.
"Toronto's starting staff leads the Majors with 241 innings this season. It also ranks first in the American League in ERA (3.02), opponents' batting average (.232), hits per nine innings (6.67) and opponents' OPS (.646). Blue Jays starters have tossed at least six innings in 17 consecutive games and have limited the opposition to three earned runs or fewer in 15 straight.
The numbers are even more remarkable considering this was the supposed weakness of the team heading into the year. The fan base was in an uproar when David Price left via free agency, and there was no shortage of criticism in the media. Nobody's complaining now, at least not about the pitching.
One potential advantage for the starters is that everybody offers something a little different. There's a pair of hard throwers in Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez. There's a finesse right-hander who relies on off-speed and command in Marco Estrada. A lefty in J.A. Happ, and then the unorthodox knuckleball from Dickey. For now, it is working to perfection."

I never did want them to resign price, far too much money for one player, when they can have just as strong a team spreading the wealth around a bit better.
I was ok with them not signing Price if they used the money saved to sign Batista to an extension and perhaps also Encarnacion. But not just to save a few $ on the big Rogers balance sheet (which seems to be the direction the saving is going).
Here I was watching a baseball game and all of a sudden a brouhaha broke out. Joey took a hard slide into second almost taking out Odour who retaliated by whacking Joey in the face then punching him the chest and that was it............I do believe that every player, coach and water boy from each team ended up on the field. Gibbons came out on the field after being ejected from the game earlier. This after Joey made base by being hit by a pitch. All the while the talking heads are yakking away that they saw this coming and it's not surprising and such.......yada, yada, yada ...........bad blood........yada yada, yada. Sheesh.
Meanwhile back at the game, the Jays are behind the Rangers by a run in the 8th. No word yet on ejections but am expecting multiples. First pitch after that Chavez hits Fielder and the benches evacuate onto the field again. Chavez is out of the game and Girodo comes out but he only lasts as long as it takes to bring Osuna out all in the bottom of the 8th. Osuna gets us out no worse for wear and the Jays are down 7 - 6 going into the 9th.
Just heard that Josh has been ejected.
Earnestly hope we get through the rest of this game without further ado.

Rangers Odur punched Batista in the face. So they ejected Donaldson for that? Lovely logic of MLB. They may be 2 separate instances. I did not see the game only got updates on the phone and your report as well.
They lost again. This team just isn't getting all things together at the right time. With the Red Sox hitting and pitching on all cylinders if they don't right this ship soon, it will be too late.

I missed all the excitement as I was switching back and forth from golf to baseball, missed the fight.
