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

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.

LF Carrera

How do you handle that lineup? Royals pitchers will be taking lots of aspirins. Just looking at that lineup from an oppositional point of view I'd have a headache

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

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

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.

You understand the Angels play in a pitcher's park, while the Blue Jays play in one of the best hitter's parks in baseball?

That affects run output as well.

Explains why the Rockies are close to tops in the majors in RS every season. But don't let facts stand in the way of BJ knob slobbing.

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.

7 Games back and overpay for a rental who only plays every 5th game. Seems legit.
