Gameday Thread 9/16: Trout hits Leadoff, no Phillips

[fan_since79]

Too late now.

I never learn.

 

[Erstad Grit]

End of 5 Jays up 3-1.

Estrada looking great with only 50 something pitches. Lots of pop-ups.

Hopefully motivates Halos starting the game knowing they could only be 1 back by the end of the night. 

[tdawg87]

Anyone who thinks the Halos leave a lot of runners on base should watch the Jays some time.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[GrittyVeterans]

Estrada is through 7 one run innings. Still 3-1 Jays

[eligrba4ever]

JUSTIN TIME!!! 1-0 Angels. 30th of 2017 for Upton.

[GrittyVeterans]

Upton rakes

Trout batting leadoff is stupid.

 

Because I said that, he'll go 4-for-4 with 2 HR.

I disagree... this might be the first time this year Scioscia got the lineup 100% right

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

First 3 reach for Jays in 8th.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Twins let a blooper drop with bases loaded 5-1. 0 outs

[eligrba4ever]

Joey Bats bloops one over Dozier and two runs score. 5-1 Jays.

We really need this one tonite...

[tdawg87]

The Twins really aren't that good. I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 6-9 the rest of the way. 

Halos gotta do their job. Just win.

[eligrba4ever]

Morales singles home Smoak. 6-1 Jays.

[Docwaukee]

Bridwell 93-94 mph tonight.  Was 90-92 when he was struggling.  Perhaps a bit of dead arm.  

[SigBaby]

Bridwell looking really good so far

[eligrba4ever]

Sosh has his fan. The camera caught a Scioscia jersey on a guy in the seats that I think are back of the plate.

I know Upton has some issues defensively but man I like his bat. He's what this lineup has been missing for awhile now. Having said that I'm sure he'll opt out now.

If that's the case, I hope they go after a center fielder and move Trout to left (if he's ok with it obviously you don't want to upset him). It would keep him healthy and he really is just an average center fielder. It would keep with the trend of putting together one of the best defenses in the game

[Docwaukee]

another lazy fly ball to RF for Trout.  Needs to get his timing back.  Not looking so crisp right now.  

good timing kiiiiid.  

[tdawg87]

Trout may not finish above .300 at this rate. Good lord dude get your shit together now.

[eligrba4ever]

Donaldson bomb makes it 7-2 Jays at the Target Store.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Donaldson hits 2nd HR 7-2.

Relax CJ. See the ball. Hit the ball. Far.
