Tulo out indefinitely

Sad to hear about Tulo.
Those kinds of collisions should never happen, but pros all too often feel like they're too good to call people off or refuse to be called off or something.

Tulowitski has a fractured shoulder blade. Probably done for the year and won't play in the playoffs.
Kind of weird to say, but losing Tulo probably won't have a huge impact... he was playing great defence but not really hitting all that much. Ryan Goins who will play SS in his stead is about as good defensively, and while he's horrible offensively for his career, he's been really good for like 1.5 months now. It might not last but maybe it will.
Mostly I just feel bad for him that he has to miss these meaningful games, and Pillar for having to live with the guilt. Maybe if the Jays are hanging around in late October, he will be fit enough to play a few games. Either way, Tulo's gonna be really important in 2016, and hopefully his offence will come around next year.

It brings me great joy to see the Angels causing some heart ache in the AL West divisional race. Damned if they make a playoff run, but at least they can make a little suspense for their rivals in these pivotal last few series.

So are we pretty much all in agreement that the Yankees are all set up for a September collapse that has now seen them fall out of the AL East lead for good and will likely see them out of the wild card as well? Because it sure looks like that. In the first game, they beat themselves. THEY FUCKING BEAT THEMSELVES.
I think this is also the last year of Girardi's contract. No way he comes back. The Steinbrenners are probably going to do something stupid like bring out Lou Pinella's corpse to manage, since their dad always threatened to replace Torre with him.

If Travis was healthy then it wouldn't hurt as much, but now 2nd base is going to be Pennington and Kawasaki? =/
Hopefully it won't come to Kawasaki...
Pennington is fine... he's played good defence, he's a switch hitter, and once he gets regular at-bats he'll probably hit ok. Certainly no worse than Goins did before he became not shit.

God I would love to see the Yankees spend $220 million on payroll and miss the playoffs. That said, they look pretty good as a wildcard team.

Nothing is confirmed yet. They'll be monitoring him over the next week, and then we'll find out what's exactly going to happen. It doesn't look good, but nothing is concrete yet.

I'm not worried about Tulo.
His defence has been a boost, but he's not had good luck at the plate. Pennington/Goins *can* fill in.
Of course, I want him back and in the line-up, but the Jays can handle his absence.
edit: lol just like zroid said!

Amazing game from Seager.
The kid is better right now than Rollins has been at any point this season. He has to get the starting job.

I know that. The Blue Jays confirmed it was a small crack. I'm talking about you saying he's done for the year and out for the playoffs. That part hasn't been confirmed.

Mets have a chance at a nice 4 game sweep of the Braves today. Unfortunately, Jon Niese is today's starter. He won't have Cespedes to rescue him today as Terry Collins is giving him, Wright and d'Arnaud the day off.

Jays' AL East winning seasons compared with 142 games played and a few other notes.
I forgot how close the race was at this point in 93. I am shocked that the 85 team only had a 3.5 game lead with that record.

Eh, the Yanks are three games clear of the Rangers in the WC (even though they have a harder schedule down the stretch), I think they should manage that.
It's not even like they're playing terrible baseball. The Blue Jays are mashing right now, but they do that against everyone these days.
(and I'll save yall the trouble and going back and pulling the post, yes my dumb ass did say back in July that there was no chance the Blue Jays could catch New York. I'll get it right this time tho!)

Thank God. I probably trust him more than Kawasaki or Pennington. At least the middle infield defense shouldn't suffer too much with him + Goins up the middle.
Really wish they hadn't let Valencia just walk, though.

He was odd man out at the time, and management I imagine thought that Tulo would hold up at least until playoff time.
they didn't account for the Pillar Factor sadly

He's amazing defensively, but is sooooo bad with the bat.

I love Pillar, then sometimes I hate him so much.
Good. We need D most importantly. Chances are we'll be working in some black voodoo magic into his bat and he'll have 40 dingers by the end of the week.

We have so much offense that it's not a huge concern. Defense is number one.
Tulo wasn't swinging a hot back during most of our winning anyway. He was just starting to pick it up though.

I still think they should've kept him over Kawasaki.
In any case, I'm interested in seeing Goins at SS. It's his natural position, so I want to see what he can do there.

I certainly agree, but I wonder how much of the keeping of Kawasaki was a marketing decision from higher levels. The guy is a great joy to be around, especially for fans, and I wonder if Rogers made it known he would stay to boost the team's profile around casual fans.
I still think Valencia was largely a financial decision. He was at best a bench player after the trade deadline, but they could have kept him on the roster if they didn't go to an 8 man pen (which ended up being pointless because Loup never played).
Valencia is being paid real dollars though, unlike the other bench guys.

Likewise, though once more, I wouldn't be surprised if what I laid out with Kawasaki is true as well.
Enjoy the rare win vs Dickey, yankees
I definitely think there's something to them wanting to keep Kawasaki just because he's popular. But it probably wasn't a choice between him and Valencia anyway.
