Official Toronto Blue Jays @ Cleveland Indians Gamethread: Preview? Edition

...

This has to be the shittiest lineup we have had all season

Just got home so nothing fancy today as far as OP goes.

Don't watch this game they've already lost. Indians will bean ee and injure him

Go Tribe

It begins

Good evening gentlmen

Injuns desu

>turn on a stream

>it's fucking olympics basketball

ALL OF THEM WHAT THE FUCK

Martin based as fuck. Gonna need those runs today.

I can't belive gibbons would put that lineup out there without an apology

pessimists BTFO

>finally find a stream and Bauer already lost the game

great great

I'm really enjoying Russel and Tulo getting gud again

Op should have linked hastily made Cleveland tourist videos

The future was looking pretty bleak when it looked like we were stuck with long term dumpster fire contracts

based russGOD

everytime I turn on the game a few minutes late, we're losing 2-0 or 3-0

never fails

R U S S G O D

>no jose, tulo, JD
>liriano pitching
alright, its on you mart GOD

>the Jays have another Francisco

lets hope it is more successful than previous Franciscos

>Ben Francisco
>Frank Francisco
>Juan Francisco

and more double plays again

whats up dudes

...

So it's going to be a shitposting thread instead of a suicide hotline thread for Jays fans?

Francisco wins the WS every 4 years. As long as the Giants dont make the playoffs we got this.

Yikes

I hope you guys sneak into the wc2 spot tbqh

Martin is hot

>liriano

nows not the time for suicide watch, that comes later

Okay just please don't shit the bed Bauer

What's up

dont worry. a pessimist in the last thread got mad about the jays even though they were winning. muh strikeouts or something. pessimists will never fail to be disappointed by something, or i suppose they are probably excited when something goes wrong so they can tell their parents they were right on an internet forum

He's a mulatto sex god imo

Agreed dawg, Actually it would be amazing to see Jays win the East and have the WCs be Detroit/Seattle

I just like the videos tbhqhwy don't know what you're talking about simmer down bud

Groins is in?

will probably be birds and the sux. birds vs rags and jays vs leaveland

Pls post. Haven't seen them yet

y do clevelanders eat poo?

Kys smoak you worthless sack of shit

This

Justin "caught looking" smoak

so many more options than having smoak in the game for the playoffs at least. EE on 1B and bats or upton as DH. anything but smoak

hourly reminder justin smoak is striking out in 54% of his at bats in the month of august

This
Put carerra rf

could even have upton on rf, i think he will find his bat. he can steal too, but hes a good weapon of the bench. either way theres so many options that are better than smoak.

Anons like to talk about Rowdy Tellez but what about Jesus Montero? He's slashing .318/.343/.449 at AAA and has major league experience, which is big if they're worried about rushing Tellez to the bigs. I know he's sucked ass in the past but I think it's worth giving him a shot.

Confirmed pitching duel

>audience cheering that strikeout

>only 25 games at 1B, rest at DH

Depends if you're cool with EE playing 1B everyday, Im not sure that I am.

yeah that would be a smart and sensible thing to do wouldnt it clevelandbro? So why the fuck do you think our front office would consider it?

GOGO IS BACK

next year:
1B: ??? (Smoak is not starting level)
2B: Travis
SS: Tulo
3B: Dolan
LF: Saunders
CF: Pillar
RF: Upton
C: Martin
DH: ???

Pitching:
1. Sanchez
2. Happ/Estrada
3. Happ/Estrada
4. Stroman
5. Liriano

who fills up those 2 spots?

>clevelandbro
Nah, I'm a jays fan

And you're right, it's just wishful thinking

Cmon Trevor, double play ball

Where are all those Jays fans in Cleveland coming from? Windsor?

Tabler is speaking in hushed tones. It's doing things to me

Well done lads

You madman

canadians live all around the great lakes areas our seed is spreading

Thank you Cap'n Satan

A SWING AND A DRIVE DEEP TO RIGHT FIELD GET UP BALL GET UP BALL GONE!

1B: Smoak (Tellez september call up)
2B: Travis
SS: Tulo
3B: JD
LF: Saunders
CF: Pillar
RF: Reddick
C: Martin
DH: Edwin

Rotation: Sanchez, Happ, Estrada, Liriano, Stroman ( R/L/R/L/R)

Biagini goes to Buffalo as a SP.

This. Montero's defense is hot garbage.

Maybe Pompey will figure it out and start in the OF with Saunders dh/4th outfielder. I'm also a firm believer that Edwin will be resigned.

Prefer Biagini as setup man next year transitioning to starting the following year

Reminder that he pitched a scorless inning to the Indians.

You think they sign EE and snag reddick?

Canadians taking over Cleveland will make them great again

>It's a "don't both about fouling off and working the count just get first pitch outs" episode

grillmaster still has an option for next year, they should definitely take it

Reminder he was 0/35 in the postseason

The Blue Jays have ZERO starting depth in the minors, Biagini was only in the bullpen this year because he was a rule 5 pick and has to be on the MLB roster all year. He'll get stretched out in the offseason.

The Liriano trade kinda showed me that Shapiro can use the Blue Jays financial muscle (Talking on his salary to get the two prospects), and theres no reason in my mind why the Blue Jays cant have a top 5 payroll. I think Edwin comes back on a 6 year/ 150 MM type deal, and yeah I'd love to see them go get Reddick, and I think having Donaldson helps too, they were great friends in Oakland.

Reminder that he hit .250 and was worth 2.7 bwar last year

nasty

CLEVELAND
>POO-IN-LOOS

Jay's looking like fucking clowns with those huge swings

Fuck off

Bauer is locked in, jays are not going to score anymore fellas

thats been the offense literally all season, why do you think we are on pace to tie or break the season long strikeout record

he had some nasty pitches, that big breaking ball to martin was just dirty

good thing Liriano throwing a CGSO famalam

Doesn't appear very locked in

Doubt.jpg

Oh boy, rally killer Smoak

>this guy again

1B is Smoak unless Joey Bats actually takes the quali offer (lel) or they trade for Votto (speaking of long term dumpster fire contracts)

DH is EE; makes 10M this year, and Dickeyballs 12M is also expiring so that's 22M/yr which is enough to make the Red Sox just get one year of Beltran instead.

i swear to god smoak comes up to bat with 2 outs litterally every fucking time, and he always strikes out

why is this stupid fuck still on the team jesus christ

Im so surprised

EE gonna get more than 22M/year

Nice, keep going. Oh hey offense please show up now.

>that nigga with a pompey jersey

lel

send him down to the minors holy shit they guy is a offensive blackhole

late to the party

>ok stop trolling post >our real lineup
o-oh this is >our real lineup

...

If they sign Edwin I don't think they'll dish the money for Reddick. He's only 29 right now and has been a 3 WAR player for a couple years now.

I think they're going to explore cheaper options, maybe someone like David Freese or Steve Pearce who have been quietly good hitters this year.

Hahaha haha a hahaha haha fuck off smock rèeeeeeeeeeeeè4eeeeeeeeeee

If he keeps this up that's great. Not sure how much longer he can hold up as a setup man.

I think Biagini's whereabouts depend on how competitive the major league team looks in the offseason

why does smoak always look so nervous like hes about to go to a meeting with his boss
