Huh...no hits by the Red Sox through six innings. Shame Marcus Stroman is already at 91 pitches.

I want to say "He's young, let him pitch" but the Jays shouldn't take any chances considering their situation.

With that said; let him pitch.

Juan Francisco is a double away from the cycle.

Figures one of them will happen considering I'm not home to watch the game. I actually considered skipping work to go to the Dome.

On the one hand, a no-hitter would be amazing. On the other, considering how many problems they've had with injuries over the last few years, it seems like it'd be negligent to let him throw 125+ pitches. Especially since they've got a seven run lead.

... and a base hit. That solves the problem.

 

[eznark]

So I guess Corey Hart is earning his keep?

 

[matthewwhatever]

Thankfully. I'd love to see a no-no again at some point in my life (I vaguely remember watching Stieb's on TV), but at this point, I'll just settle for good starts.

Stromania!

Sweet, maybe the Twins will finally bring back Josmil Pinto!

The #MNTwins have recalled infielder Jorge Polanco from @MiracleBaseball to take the spot of Morales on the 25-man roster.

FML.

Seeing eye bloop ruins the Stroman no-hitter.

He's been really solid. The Sanchez kid looks like a keeper. I don't think the Blue Jays should be in "go for it" mode. Overpaying for Price by giving up these quality arms isn't going to guarantee any playoff success.

 

[Malvingt2]

Morales would not return to #Mariners several times when he had choice - including for reported offer of 3/30. He had no choice this time.

I wouldn't move Stroman right now. He's proving himself. This might be a good time to move Sanchez though, when you don't know if the hype and quality will last for him. Move him while the hype is hot.

Still not sure what the Jays need. Hitting is starting to come around and we will have two big bats back in the lineup next week. Starting pitching has been good, not great. I'd say another long man in the bullpen, but Sanchez may cover that.

Personally, I'd still like to have a consistent quality starter.

I still wonder why the Brewers and Pirates weren't in on Jose Abreu?

The Brewers don't have $70m to give to a guy who has never played professional baseball.

Sanchez and Nolin (or someone like that - a minor prospect) for Zobrist. Considering how injury-prone so many Jays are, having someone who can play lots of positions well would be great.

 

[harSon]

I wanted the Pirates to go for him since 1B was probably our biggest position of need heading into this season, but I imagine it wouldn't have gone over too well with Mccutchen if we gave a guy who has yet to prove himself within the MLB a more lucrative contract than he got for doing just that Lol

Yeah, that's not a bad deal. Not sure I've I'm willing to give Sanchez to someone in our division though.

Sources: Mariners have asked Rockies about CF Drew Stubbs, but Colorado unsure if they're going to move him. Righty bat, having career year.

Thank You Brandon McCarthy for continuing to shit on the worst organization in all of sports, the Gibsons.

I'm automatically wary of any hitter who goes to Colorado and then has a "career year".

 

[santeesioux]

You'll be a Mariner whether you like it or not!

 

[distantmantra]

So we got the guy we should've re-signed in the offseason, but supposedly doesn't want to be here (other reports say otherwise).

Hopefully this isn't the only move by the front office. The little confidence I have is decreasing.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Jays win! Suddenly that 15-1 loss to start the series doesn't seem quite as bad.

 

[rando14]

Pretty much. Stubbs has a 115 wrc which is nice but he has a babip of fucking .400 which is the most coors things I've ever heard lol

:jnc Can only imagine what his reaction was when he heard the news

Will Philly be able to close it? Find out now!

 

[j_rocca42]

I just hope he hits better than smoak and hart. I heard he was getting bad mouthed in Minnesota for hanging out with Felix and some other mariners while he was in town with the twins.

 

[matthewwhatever]

... and now to Yankee's Stadium.

At least it's not the Trop.

As far as I'm concerned, if they can make it home still in the race, it'd make the season a good one. I'm planning a trip to Toronto partly to see a game, and it'd be nice to go to one that actually matters.

 

[Corran Horn]

Bah humbug we lose :/

Well rumor has it we offered Polanco a deal that if all options were done would of given him something around 65 million and this time last year he was in high A, but ye would be nice to start actually spending on baseball instead of buying more ski resorts.

Yep, If he buy into the Pizza Hut promotion just because they named the pizza after the characters, surely the Brewers just became his NL team because of Gomez dressing like a turtle.

 

[BigJonsson]

Stroman!!!

Hopefully the Jays can get on a roll with Lind, Encarnacion back soon, Lawrie back in a week or so and Morrow maybe coming back at some point

Sounds crazy but what if... Kemp for Hughes?

Kemp gets to play everyday and we need a pitcher to back up Haren
