Bluejays are very serious
 

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

Blow me, eh?

Nobody gives a shit, go **** yourself.

Go shove some poutine up your ass

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

First, you need to win your division.

Cause if it's a wc game, depending upon where the rotation is....you may not have price for that game

And after this weekend you'll be 10 games back .

Bitch !

The Blue Jays have fans?

They're just like orioles, but blue

Speaking of the Orioles, where is our resident Oriole fan?

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.

Nice moves for 3 month rentals, you have much ground to make up.

Yeah, that guy and 2 kids that haven't heard of soccer yet

There aren't any here...

As for me, I think the BJs are doing an excellent job of assembling the 2009 all-star team.

mods ... please take away thread privileges ...

Yeah it's ChiefsnOsfan or something like that. He was here for about five seconds during last year's ALCS.

And we haven't seen him since LMAO

Yeah who give a shit about the blue jays

**** the Blue Jays and **** Joe Carter.

I'm feeling the love man lol

Didn't we already have to endure a Marco Estrada thread from this guy?

Another Jays fan here. Yes, there are a handful of us.
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...

What are you guys gonna do?

When you gotta deal with:

2B Travis
3B Donaldson
SS Tulowitzki
RF Bautista
DH Encarnacion
C Russell Martin
1B Colabello
CF Pillar
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

The dude sounds alright by me so far. He even :p 'd

Just trust that our equally badass lineup will do more damage against your shitty rotation and bullpen, probably.

I'm sure the Royals are in tears right now.

Good line up for sure, but the Royals have been beating good lineups all year. good luck getting back in the race...

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.

I remember when the Angels and Orioles had powerful lineups that would blow us out of the ballpark every game.

Ace Slayers don't care.

Blue Jays scout: We need pitching!
Blue Jays GM: Right you are! Let's trade our shortstop and some pitchers for another shortstop.

But not just any SS. The best SS! And, he's ours for the next 5 years.
Reyes was actually loosing us games with his horrid defense. Good riddance!

Tulo, Price and even Hawkins. Can't complain about that.

You guys have fun paying 2017 tulo to play 36 games

The July 12 game is all you need to know. You guys can score 10 runs, we'll just score 11.

Bet you if we had Tulowitzki then we'd drop 14 on you guys

Lol I'm sure you're wishing for that to happen eh hater?

Great thread. Would read again.

Except, those teams lineups aren't as lethal as the bluejays

Calhoun
Trout
Pujols
Kendrick
Freese
Aybar
Hamilton
Cron
Iannetta

You're a moron.

Solid acquisition. For sure.

But is he enough for that rotation?

Personally, I don't think so.

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

Runs scored

Blue Jays - 538
Angels - 431
Orioles - 432

Who's the moron?

When will Price start?

After he learns the Canadian National anthem

Best case scenario is a loss to Houston or LA in the play in game.

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.

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

So you came to a football board to talk about a baseball team nobody gives a shit about?

Worked so well for San Diego this year, didn't it?

I guess they can switch from being disappointed by the Leafs to being disappointed by the Jays this year.

Well actually you are since he was referring to 2014.

Eventually the time will come when you guys will care.

You're starting to sound like BEP right now.

You should be excited. That's a helluva pickup.

With Burhle routinely beating the Royals and Price also, it's a pretty formidable duo.

Uh...Deja vu...from last year's o's fan.

That or rusty!

It's football season I don't give a shit about baseball go away.

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

"Putting together all star teams on paper usually leads to championships"

-The Dodgers

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.

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

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.

I'm a Chiefs fan too eh.

I'm a Chiefs fan too eh. So it balances out.

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.

Everyone knows you're a closet Chiefs fan.

This explains their epic. 500 season so far guys!

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.

Love the ballpark excuses lol

When it's clear that the bluejays have the best lineup in baseball. Folks, you have to accept and face that reality.

Ah ok..it's too bad he can't average more games..dude is impressive to watch

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
