nate007 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Well, other than a couple of fielding errors they looked pretty good in the opener yesterday. Got win #1 of 110 this season out of the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Key here was Stroman looked solid in the start. No true "Ace" on staff, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of production they can get out of this 5. If the bats are as hot as last year, they should be able to out slug everyone, as long as the arms can keep it under 5 or 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Keys are the young starters and the 20yr ole closer. This team will score runs. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm looking forward to watching Sanchez as a starter. Had a pretty solid spring, hope it continues on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'd had high hopes for AS going into last season, and really thought he was going to be a breakout star, but he had a rough spring, didn't earn a starting spot, and then saw limited duty out of the 'pen. I'm glad he earned his way back into the rotation this year. He's young yet...has time to get seasoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 He was a starter out of spring training he was really good as a reliever last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In limited time, sure.....I'd really hoped for a starting rotation role for him last year and post some solid numbers doing so. Again, he's young, so the middle-reliever spot was good for him to grow, I think. Hopefully he shows well this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 What happened was Marco Estrada got hot and they did not want to put him back in the rotation after he came back from the oblique strain plus needed help in the bullpen. I have had him on my fantasy team all the way through the minors he was always going to be starter. The bullpen was out of of pure need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Ugh cecil u bum. Why did they pull sanchez? 7 complete @ 90 pitches and was still throwing 96-97mph. Id have given him the 8th, n thats not in hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 What a ****ed up finish. Bautista totally hit the guy in the foot but that didnt cause the bad throw. BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 not expecting them to win every game, but that was some straight bs. though it never shoulda got to that point, im still wondering why the F sanchez didnt come out for 8, those 2 runs cecil gave up were brutal.

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 pitch counts are really good stats to follow, especially on a per inning basis with the pitchers. but what was sanchez at 90-95 range for pitches after 7 complete. 110+ is pushing it for a starter, but the year is so early, and he's still throwing heat, there's no reason to not give him the 8th (maybe even 9th if he shut down the 8th like he had been doing) especially with Osuna unavailable tonight and a noon game tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 He has never thrown I think it's 140 innings in a year so the y are going to be careful with him. Pretty much standard for young pitchers theses days. Rather have a few shorter outings early in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the logic is, but Rogers doesn't see fit to pump money into the Jays organization, which is a real shame for the fans. What. A. Shame.

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Donaldson is the man, grand slam to blow this game wide open. 3hr 8 rbis in 4.5 games. they need to lock this guy up for ever....and ever....and ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 true, didnt realize he was 30 already too, that might be a little worrisome. if he was locked up to a 5 year deal right now i'd be happier then resigning him at 32 and wondering if his play will drop significally when he reaches bautista's age (35) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Wonder whats up with tulo, it was either the tb series or one of their last spring games but goins had an issue with tulo not backing off a called pop up. And bumped into him here. Didnt he get hurt colliding with a fielder on a pop up? Calling a ball n backing off is as basic baseball as it gets, right up there with using 2 hands to catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
