Barves just traded Phil Gosselin for Touki Toussaint and Bronson Arroyo + Cash.

Well. Dave Stewart got rooooooooooooooooooooooooobbed.

so, it's not beyond my understanding on how this trade happened (salary dump) I am more confused how you didn't get a better package for a top 100 pitching prospect (even with the salary dump) ;

I imagine a number of teams would have happily traded a better player and eaten the money to get a top prospect.

Hey don't diss the Goose.

 

[G-Fex]

I guess Yanks will sweep the Tigers..

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wow. D-Backs just going full stupid.

 

[Future Foundation]

We have reasoning from Dave Stewart on the trade:

Stew: "With this year's draft we stacked our minor league system with college guys" who are ahead of Touki Toussaint on depth chart.

 

[3N16MA]

Santos to have TJ surgery. Season is lost.

 

[matthewwhatever]

We have reasoning from Dave Stewart on the trade:

Also, they liked Gosselin's grit.

Seriously, he said that. Are they just trolling everyone?

 

[rekameohs]

Yeah, stupid trade. I understand the $10 million salary dump, but you don't give away a 19 year old potential top of the line pitcher for that, man......

It is for me because Arroyos contract isn't that bad, you have already paid half of it this year, and he has a 4.5 million buyout, you don't trade a potential frontline starter to save ten million.

We've already cleared about 15 plus million in Salary already. So if we are still hurting that bad, Kendrick should just sell the team for mismanaging the finaces that bad.

 

[zroid]

Copeland is horrible

ffs we really need Sanchez back

 

[NameGenerated]

Bryce Harper is a man.

 

[Corran Horn]

lol

The team bus had left without him, leaving the Giants manager stranded at the home of the team's biggest rival, Dodger Stadium.

"The bus left me," Bochy said on Saturday, per Abbey Mastracco of Fox Sports West. "I thought it was like, 'Leave no troops behind.'"

I have missed a bunch of this Jays game already.

Damn. This offensive output.

 

[G-Fex]

I got a Kris Bryant rookie card yesterday in my series 2 pack.

Going to be a hundredaire in 2045 ya'll.

 

[Dominican Power]

Watch Tanaka have something wrong with him.

 

[Marz]

Watch Tanaka have something wrong with him.

He didn't look like he was grimacing or anything, probably just an offday (hopefully).

 

[Dominican Power]

3 HRs for this dude.

 

[sangreal]

poor guy. getting rocked in his debut in front of his family

 

[Marz]

The gift and the curse of Yankee stadium.

 

[Dominican Power]

The Yankees are Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[G-Fex]

The Yankees are Jekyll and Hyde.

Tigers rekt their hyde today buddy boy.

 

[sangreal]

The Yankees are Jekyll and Hyde.

the tying run will probably come to the plate before this is over

 

[Dominican Power]

Drew with a meaningless hr.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I can't blame Pillar for booting that. The spin was crazy.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Fuckin' A KEVIN PILLAR!

 

[BFIB]

Phils getting revenge for the past few days.

 

[zroid]

We are going to lose this game, and while I wasn't watching, I'll be damned if it wasn't still a wild ride following along on twitter.

Hope begets despair, zroid. Have some hope.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sox beating the shit out of the Royals?

I don't know what they put in that barbecue but it brought the O back to life.

 

[Silver Arrows]

FUCK THIS TEAM

 

[ShaneB]

Blech.

 

[zroid]

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

9th inning Orioles are a fucking pain in the arse

also Cecil is a bum

 

[The Elite]

Jays need to get whatever pitching they are going to get sooner rather than later.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

lol

Giants out of control. Staging a mutiny on their beloved manager.

 

[Macattk15]

Mariners got this Astros pitcher to 40 pitches in the 1st (So far). Neat.

 

[Lexxism]

This team bullpen is so fucked up. Thank you AA.

 

[gaming_noob]

Can Anthopolous do something about the fucking pitching?!?!

 

[matthewwhatever]

Jays need to get whatever pitching they are going to get sooner rather than later.

You assume they're going to get any. I'd think the last few years have shown how willing AA and Rogers are when it comes to mid-season money.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

SOX WIN

About to go 122-40 woot!

Fat chance. Stay in the bottom.

The few times I actually agree with a Yankees fan.

Another bad Harvey start. Congrats on the sweep, Braves.

 

[Frozenprince]

Another bad Harvey start. Congrats on the sweep, Braves.

He looks fine to me. Bad 2nd but has settled and is commanding his breaking stuff better in the 3rd.

If we could just get him, you know, a single run, that'd be swell.

Also if our defense could not be garbage that'd also be great.

He's already over 60 pitches after 3 innings. That doesn't translate to good news. And who are you kidding with the offense and defense?

Oh yeah I doubt he goes 5. It's just not happening.

We'll lose 5-0 when Harvey goes out with a 0-0 tie and Terry puts Verrett in to get obliterated. Watch.

Meanwhile, Tehran has a whopping 38 pitches through 3.1. Like. Come on guys at least make it a little challenging for a guy that's been struggling ALL YEAR. At least get A hit. I'm garbage at the plate (I'm cognizant of my failures) and I am almost positive I could belt one of these hanging sliders he's left so far.

 

[cashman]

ugh what a stupid loss.

 

[jello44]

Thank you, Gordon Beckham.

 

[Frozenprince]

Guys at least make him WORK THE FUCKING COUNT once or twice. Hacking at literally every fucking pitch. It's ridiculous. I'd cream myself to pitch against a team with plate discipline this bad.

Cuddyer with an AB that symbolizes our season. 0-2, clearly the time for a slider low and out (maybe even dirted) to get the batter swinging. A guy who's been around as long as he has should KNOW that's the MO in this situation ESPECIALLY for a primary slider pitcher.

So what happens? Slider, low and out, dirts it, AND HE HACKS AT THE FUCKING THING.

Idiots. All of them are fucking idiots.

I think you or I could blank the Mets at this point.

 

[Frozenprince]

I think you or I could blank the Mets at this point.

I'm a primary slider/splitter pitcher. With guys who swing like this all you have to do, literally all you have to do, is keep the ball out and low and you'll rack up the outs. Guys will swing at your junk then you can lob a heater inside and jam them.

It's so easy to develop a plan of attack against a team like this. Seriously, this is just the start, we're gonna get dominated the rest of the season unless some sweeping changes are made TOMORROW because it's just getting absurd.
