Jesus H. Christ, that Blue Jays lineup is stacked with power now. Not even sure how to line that up.

I guess I would go:

Travis
Donaldson
Bautista
Tulo
Encarnacion
Martin
Smoak
Colabello
Pillar

That's stupid.

Guess at cost:

Reyes + Daniel Norris (RIP your career, kid) + Dalton Pompey + Sean Reid-Foley.

Yeah I was about to post their lineup. I wonder if they might say screw it and just lead off with Tulo.

Tulo/Donaldson/Bautista/Encarnacion. Doesn't get much better than that. That's like a late 90's steroid era lineup.

It'll be interesting to see Cueto against that jacked up offense. I would think the Blue Jays have another pitching move or 2 coming or WTF are they doing?

I hope Cueto has his strikeout pitch working this weekend..

That's a scary lineup, good lord. That 2-6 will be a wtf for every opposing pitcher as they prepare for their next start.

Brett also missed like 40 games.

Yeah. Travis and Donaldson are both speedy OBP/SLG combo guys, so hitting them 1-2 is a pretty great start to things. Following that with some combination of Tulo, Bautista, Encarnacion and Russell Martin... wow.

If Guthrie is pitching in the Toronto series we may just want to not waste our time watching that one LMAO

I think he pitches Wednesday.

KCCHIEFS27 07-27-2015 11:00 PM

Nothing to be worried about.

Jays pitching will be happy to give up runs of their own. But yeah, that game could be 12-10

Hootie 07-27-2015 11:08 PM

I'm not afraid of the Jays lineup at all. Tulo has always been streaky and doesn't get the Coors boost anymore ... Plus he's a lock for 2 DL stints per year. The Yankees went down this route before. Super offenses don't work and don't win anything important. Great pitching always beats great hitting

Hootie 07-27-2015 11:09 PM

I'll tell you what ... Yesterday I picked Toronto as the 2nd wild card. Today? I predict a collapse

Hootie 07-27-2015 11:14 PM

The angels and Orioles both had fantastic offenses last year and what happened to them when it cooled down and October rolled around? Pitching and defense wins postseason baseball. Not a lineup full of HR hitters. Now, Tulo absolutely is a better defensive SS than Reyes. It's an upgrade, but scares me very little
