What the hell happened last night. Dude has a no hitter going into the 7th and both bullpens collapse like a barrell of collapsing monkeys.

ya - sending League (as much as i love him) out there for a second inning was obv a mistake. just like Shawn Camp.

How many years have the Jays waited for League to turn into something even remotely resembling a decent major league pitcher? Time to give up on this guy, I think.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I mean, whatever great upside he used to have is obviously long gone, and the Jays have been assembling great bullpens out of scrap parts for a few years now (Brad Arnsberg rulz), so my tolerance for League has run pretty thin.

Halladay (7-1) walked none and struck out five to win his fourth straight start and improve to 16-5 in 33 career games against New York. He has an ERA of 2.77 against the Yankees, his best against any AL opponent.
This is amazing, btw.

what is amazing is no FB outs until the 9th inning and eve then Wells had to come IN to get it.

According to BP's playoff odds report, the Jays have a 77% chance of making the playoffs, as of today.
Whatever, it's only the middle of May, but still: WOWOWYESYESYES

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Monday, 18 May 2009 17:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I think those Odds Reports are awfully dicey til August.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 18 May 2009 17:11 (fourteen years ago) link
The simulations are based purely on third-order winning %age, which is definitely skewed when the contenders' schedules differ so much this early in the season (i.e. Jays haven't played many games against other AL East teams).
More significantly, the Jays are currently six games up on the wildcard, which isn't tiny, even in May. Unfortunately, the wildcard will almost certainly come out of the AL East this year, so again it always comes back to intra-division games.

so going into the Boston series it is impossible for the J's to drop out of 1st place plating them. even if they get swept they will still be in first! :D
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 03:25 (fourteen years ago) link
that does not mean it is ok to get swept tho.
so someone had to pay for that Boston series.
those people are: Travis Snyder, Brett Cecil & Robby Ray. rip
― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Friday, 22 May 2009 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Cecil isn't allowed to have a bad game, I guess.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Friday, 22 May 2009 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i was suprised at first. i guess it makes sense tho. he's so young and only recently went from a closer to a starter. they said at the onset of the season they had no plans for cecil to play in the majors before sept - he was only up on account of all the injuries. keeping him up probably risked alot of things going wrong.

trading halladay to the yanks or bosox...is it a pre-emptive strike, taking advantage of what may be inevitable? or is it resigning oneself to being totally non-competitive for the next 5-7 years? both?
― jØrdån (omar little), Wednesday, 25 November 2009 19:02 (fourteen years ago) link
a little of both i suppose. it sounds as if he's gone no matter what after '10 - so why not get what you can since the Js aren't expecting to be competitive anytime soon. and lets face it - the best way to raise the price is with a dice-k-esque yanks/bosox bidding war.

Signing a mediocre shortstop named Alex Gonzalez? I thought this GM had new ideas?
― francisF, Friday, 27 November 2009 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link
i read that he was offered 3 mil from Boston, but took the J's offer because the BoSox were waiting to hear from other guys before they finalized anything. which pretty much means they will be taking Scutaro now - which means the J's will be getting a pick from the the Sox. rather convoluted but interesting nonetheless!
