Estrada perfect through 7

He had a no-hitter through 7 last week.

Gave it up to the first hitter in the 8th.

Jays need to at least get some runs to take the pressure off.

If they let him throw a perfect game and don't score a run, I'd kill everybody in the order. No lie.

It would be remarkable considering how potent the offense is.

They always have trouble against Tampa.

Edit: Two out already in the top of the 8th?

Fuck.

You guys have the best offense in the AL. First wold problems... If the White Sox scored over 3 runs a game they would be 10 games over .500

 

[zroid]

oh look, there's a hole in the wall and my fist is all bloodied

how did that happen

 

[The Elite]

This has Blue Jays loss written all over it.

 

[[KoRp]Jazzman]

I don't understand how they always shit the bed in Tampa... It's gotta be the sight lines I guess? Cause that park is pretty hitter friendly.

looooooooooooooooool I'm a mests fan son. I'm just boycotting the team until everybody gets fired.

Tampa has Jim Hickey.

He knows exactly how to keep the Jays' hitters under control.

If Estrada goes into the 9th with a no-hitter/perfect game I will put on the game at work. No fucks will be given.

Donaldson fearless

 

[BigJonsson]

JOSH DONALDSON OH MY GOD

He crushed that kid

 

[matthewwhatever]

What a catch!

And I loved that grin afterwards, too.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Holy shit Donaldson

 

[PROh1bited]

Donaldson fearless

Wow.

 

[Frozenprince]

Having Donaldson isn't fair.

 

[Trigonx]

I was wondering what team Marco Estrada went to(Brewers fan here).

 

[The Elite]

Fucking gameday... I want to see this.

 

[aFIGurANT]

da fuq was Donaldson doing there? Holy shit.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Aaaaaaand it's over.

 

[The Elite]

THE DREAM IS DEAD!

Estrada has been fantastic though.

Edit: Jays challenge? Any chance?

Edit: safe. :/

 

[zroid]

safe

 

[BigJonsson]

Infield hit, weaaaaak

 

[Frozenprince]

Well it was fun while it lasted.

 

[Trigonx]

There goes my free pizza

 

[zroid]

i hate the rays so much

 

[eznark]

fuck adam lind

 

[Frozenprince]

Lind for him has been fairly equitable so far. Brewers just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Buck Martinez, saying Jim Joyce calling that brah safe in Armanda Galaraga's should've perfect game, one of the greatest moments in baseball?

 

[3N16MA]

Nova is back to save the Yankees.

Buck Martinez has always been, and always will be, incredibly stupid. Two games ago he spent a whole inning complaining about pitch counts and insisting that pitchers are more effective when they're tired.

Only because the Blue Jays are retarded and didn't start Estrada for the first month.

Makes me happy to have Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez/Ron Darling to listen too.

I mean not really. Other than these past two absurd starts he's been right about his career numbers.

Average. High FIP, high xFIP, ERA+ at 100.

Average.

 

[CheDominik]

I hate this team. Every single position player can go to hell. Bad defense, bad baserunning and atrocious hitting.

He was fucking amazing on MLB in the Morning on XM Radio though!

He missed a couple of weeks in spring training, and was no where near ready to start to begin the season.

Martinez and Tabler are terrible.

that donaldson catch omg

https://vine.co/v/e5pxBbhTTnB

 

[zroid]

i'm not sure I would bring Marco back for the 9th. he gave up a couple deep fly outs and a blast that went just foul last inning. not a good sign for him considering his homer rate.

Marco Estrada is always and has always been ready.

Sounds like a good strategy. I just drink and try to laugh about it.

For anyone who didn't see it. Adam Eaton hits a sinking line drive to short. Ball is dropped, Eaton stops. Jogs to first, 1B missed the base. Eaton stops again and walks to the base and is out by a step.

Jesus, it would be bad if that kid was hurt.

 

[matthewwhatever]

I think you only fully appreciate how awful they are when you have to listen to them every day. Martinez gets really excited by every single fly ball (plus he's defiantly old school when it comes to pitch counts), and Tabler's description of how much he loves players and their "big, strong hands" often borders on pornographic.

 

[PROh1bited]

Estrada is the first pitcher since Dave Steib(1988) to have two consecutive starts with a no hitter taken into the 8th. Both by Blue Jays pitchers.

 

[BigJonsson]

Just need a medium-long fly here

Steib is good company to be in.

And they always talk about the same crap whenever facing certain teams. Every single time. Like the Rays for example. They get boners over their young pitching, and talk about it in every game in the series.

The Nationals booth is by far the worst though. When Bryce Harper went onto his tear in May and slugged like 1.500, Carpenter said it's insulting to call it a hot streak, it's just Harper coming into his own.
Heck local broadcasts are so bad that even blowhards like Michael Kay are considered to be above-average.

Hawk Harrelson falls into his own category though, that would be too easy.

They do drool over the Yankees anytime the Jays have a series against them.

Jays, please.
