Bluejays are very serious

[bricks]

And you know what Folks? I'm excited.

You know why? My bluejays got David ****ing Price.

David Price and Troy Tulowitzki in this past week has increased my bluejays fever that I just can't stop thinking about them right now.

I think you guys should be concerned because you're gonna have some competition come playoff time :p

[gblowfish]

You're 7 games behind the Yankees. Good luck with that.

I'm not worried, unless you guys get into the playoffs. I hope the Jays tie for the last WC spot with Minnesota, and Minnesota wins a 19-inning one game playoff to deplete all their pitching.

Super stoked about these moves. Yes, it's unlikely that they can pass the Yankees but the WildCard is totally within reach. As you Royal fans know all too well, as long as you can squeak in...

[bricks]

Yeah by then you gotta deal with David Price and Marcus Stroman will be back come playoff time (he's a future ace imo), and now we got our future closer in Aaron Sanchez who has been spectacular out of the bullpen and he will be a closer. He has the stuff and the kid just has "it" to pitch out of pressure. In fact, he thrives under those circumstances.

But is he enough for that rotation?

Personally, I don't think so.

Bluejays starting pitching is ranked 24th in MLB in team era.

Adding David Price will improve Bluejays overall team era to average. Add Stroman back in there and Bluejays overall starting pitching is top 10 in the league. That will be good enough to compliment an already explosive, Dynamic offense.

[bricks]

Can't wait until the Twins and Astros bounce you out of wildcard contention.

This is because you don't want to play the Bluejays. I get it. That's understandable.

[Why Not?]

[bricks]

Doesn't Tulo only average around a 100 games a year or something because he is always broke

In the last 9 years Tulo has been good for an average of 117 games per year.

So statistically speaking, he is good for about 70 percent of a season. And I'm fine with that. Bluejays got good depth along the infield anyways with Ryan Goins, Danny Valencia and Muneri Kawasaki.

Didn't the Royals hit more HRs during the series at Kauffman than the BJs? The BJs also got shutout once too.

[Bufkin]

Why the fuck is there a Toronto Blue Jays fan on this forum trolling? I thought I was bad enough as a Falcon troll during football season.

[bricks]

Wrong year, you ****ing troglodyte. The Angels led the AL in runs scored last season.

The Bluejays currently lead the majors with 538 runs scored in 102 games. That is good for an average of 5.2 runs per game.

Last years Angels scored 773 runs in 162 games which is good for an average of 4.7 runs per game. This years blue jays are better than last year Angels in runs scored by 0.5 runs. But the bottom line is, Jays are on pace to score over 850 runs this season.

And voila, there you have it.

2014 Angels offense 773 runs scored
2015 Bluejays offense on pace to score 853 runs

So 2015 Bluejays O > 2014 Angels O

Does that clear things up for you now?

[duncan_idaho]

I understand being excited. The Blue Jays have made two big additions in the past 24 hours and are going for it. What's not to be excited about?

Tulowitzki is an excellent addition to an already powerful lineup.

As for questions about what the Royals (or other teams) will do when facing the Blue Jays: Execute pitches. Play defense. Hit the ball. The same thing they do against anyone.

Adding more offensive firepower certainly helps the Blue Jays when playing home games. The HR power certainly plays up there... just like it plays down when in less HR-happy fields.

I suspect a 5- or 7-game series between the Royals and Jays would likely come down to which team had home field advantage in the series.

Price definitely helps the rotation. Hard to count on Marcus Stroman for much, though. With an ACL injury like that (to his plant leg, if I recall correctly), he's going to be somewhat limited in how much he can throw until the knee is sound. And returning in 5 months from a torn ACL is incredibly aggressive, to begin with.

I know the answer to this.

When you got starting pitching that is ranked 24th overall in MLB and a bullpen that has blown 16 saves and a record of 10-23 in 1 run ball games, you could have the leagues best offense but at the end of the day, it balances out where the pitching brings you down to even keel.

Who is saying the Blue Jays DON'T have a great lineup? Nobody.

The Angels had the best offense/lineup in baseball last year. They didn't score as many runs as the Jays are this year. The ballparks play a part in that. So does the strength of the individual lineup.

The Royals have one of the worst starting pitching rotations in the AL prior to Cueto coming here but yet there destroying everyone. Because it's about defense and hitting for average. You guys might hit a lot of home runs but you also strikeout a lot. It's not gonna get you guys anywhere

*Oh Tulo, dude is a ****ing beast/gamer. Last night in his debut he went 3/5 with 1 HR, 3 RBIS and 3 Rs.

FYP

9 years after the Louisiana Purchase, Canadians burned down the White House.
8 years after the 1985 ALCS, The Blue Jays won their second World Series... in a row.

That's viewers, not households, bud. (http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/midwest-markets-still-post-highest-local-mlb-ratings.html) The Yankees' 221K households figure is by far the highest in baseball.

Among other surprises, through Sept. 23, Toronto Blue Jays games on Rogers Sportsnet were up 13 percent, averaging 590,000 viewers, despite the team’s sub-par season (Rogers does not provide average number of households.)

How do you know it is "by far the highest in baseball" if Rogers does not provide the average number of households and the Jays are not part of the equation?

And both have been irrelevant ever since each said event . . . . .

Sorry.

Yeah, and fuck Boston too while you're at it. They're nothin' but a bunch of freckle faced cunts.

Same question for you, since you asserted the Jays top MLB viewership.

[KC_Connection]

Well I guess the question is how many viewers are in a "household?" The Jays have been getting 750K viewers a game lately.

Bricks is a huge Chiefs fan apparently. Let's make him a bills or pats fan by the end of the season.

Reminds me of the Royals games I regularly attended for nearly a decade, yeah. That's what losing since the 80s/90s does.

Reminds me of the time the Jays had a loaded roster, were winning regularly and had a record 1 game over .500.

How can you win regularly and have a record 1 game over .500? Maybe you meant intermittently.

In any case, the Jays are in just about exactly the same position as the Royals were this time last year (and nobody was going to the games then in KC either...20K last July 30 for KC, the Jays had 30K tonight).

[RealSNR]

I'm not worried.

The Jays don't have Jack Shit

I didn't see it as an "obvious joke". I think KC fans have looked down on the Blue Jays since the '85 ALCS.

It not that anyone looks down on the Blue Jays, necessarily. It's all of Canada.

That's a pretty audacious statement coming from a North Korean sympathizer.

Kind of an odd statement, but I guess I feel bad for North Koreans, living in such a shitty place and all. I have no idea what that has to do with anything though. You're kinda stupid, eh?

[TomBarndtsTwin]

So the Jays make a couple big trades, win a couple games and finally manage to get over .500 and their fans start getting all cocky and shit and acting like they've actually accomplished something.

Fucking Canada, man. Good times.

It's no more stupid than anything you've stated in this thread. Are you familiar the difference between Nationalism and Patriotism?

The SS and 3B there were traded for Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Donaldson.

While that's true, R.A. Dickey will still be there to trip 3Bs during routine pop-ups.:)

****ing Canada, man. Good times.

When you have a roster loaded with all-star talent, you have plenty of reason to feel damn good.

The cockiness and pride towards rival fans is what makes this fun:)

Or just join every Bluegays site and talk about Alex Smith.
