20 Years No playoffs make it 21 - Official 2014 Blue Jays Thread

[Miggs]

here's the thing... if tthis is the final stage of his 5 year plan like wutang or watever.... this time is looking good friends...

shyt rasmus and brett lawrie are pretty much expendable at this point...

we need more pitching thats just the bottom line tho... but man if we get into an actual playoff series.... ill be sold on AA

Sold on a 1 game playoff where if you lose your gone ? If they lose that game you still ok on AA ?
Take an overview of his 5 years here what has he accomplished ? This is the first year we have been in contention and its by pure luck because the entire division is having a down year and we have been riddled with injuries,its not because of anything he did to the roster....

He said by year 3 which was 2 years ago we'd be contending...If they miss the playoffs this year you cant defend the position hes done even a decent job...He got Bautista and Edwin at reasonable numbers and thats only because they produced when no one thought they would,literally nothing else hes done is noteworthy...

rasmus is not going to be worth the 12-15 mill some idiot team will give him, i hope they resign melky, im fine with gose starting and signing a vet to platoo with him


lawrie gets injured to much, and even when hes not at best hes a 270 hitter with 15 home runs

the way the jays are hitting right now, there no reason to believe they cant overtake baltimore... who are definitely playing like a playoff team but i think the jays have better hitters and defense

 

[MikelArteta]

if the jays lose melky im done with this team

Funny about the TV numbers how it dont relate to attendance in the park...They'll get 15-18k for a weeknight game yet seem to attract decent TV numbers any given night...

man the only reason they ride lawrie so much is cause hes a white, clean cut dude who plays a high skill position... he is interchangeable with like 50 different domincants playing right now...

get that dude out of here... it seems like kawasaki gets on base like 50% of the time lately..

If they win the division you got sumn that being said its still in a down year...As of right now they arent in that position,if they miss entirely or get knocked out in the 1 game wild card elilmination game then what do you have in 5 years ?

this is literally the best jays team/best chance at the playoffs in 20 years

i swear if rogers stands pat

the jays bullpen is atrocious

Even still, I feel we have two of the best power hitters in baseball, and u cant undervalue the decision to pick those dudes up when they were nobodies...

the trade for reyes has paid dividends.. the trade for dikkie was garbage dude is like 49 yeaars old... but we needed an ace...

I just feel hes at a significant disadvantage cause dudes dont wanna play in Canada... its a slow build... this is the first season in like 11 years that ive been able to watch almost every single jays game... for that alone im thankful.

yep that good ol cdn boy

dude barely walks, is a horrible hitter, his defense is just ok not that great, hes just darcy tucker in a jays uniform

i cringed hearing reports of sending kawasaki down, dude can play any position in the infield is batting nearly 300, and is the best bunter on the team

Jays have to pay Melky.

ive bet on every jays game since saturday and ive won them all, i actually watched all of he game yesterday and currently right now, i love this jays team cept the bullpen.

the dikkey trade was horrible but he hasnt been that bad this year, the thing about dikkey and buerhle is that they never really get injured and they chew up innings

to me getting navarro was teh biggets key, jp arencibia was such a cancer last year and garbage

 

[MikelArteta]

i dunno why they aint signing him right now



i cringe the jays just giving a qualifiying offer and getting some bs cumpusely pick

i hope melky remembers who wanted him when no one else did

the jays are so lucky they have edwin and bautista signed for cheap
