Plus Straily led the minors in K's before making the Bigs. Straily has lost some speed on his fastball, down from 91 to 88mph. That may account for his high ERA.

CygnusGal Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Cubs trade both Samardzija AND Hammel to Oakland........... :o :o :oI saw this this morning. My immediate reaction was "why give up on the season when you're not that far out of wild card contention, and are playing very good baseball, and have outscored your opponents on the year?" But I have to read up more on the prospects before I completely pan the trade. Well, Like they say. There is always next year! :PDon't the usually Cubs say that in April? ;) ETA: as the Blue Jays slowly waft back towards .500. At least we have 3 all-star representatives :yay: Go Blue Jays! :) Edited July 7, 2014 by CygnusGal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 ETA: as the Blue Jays slowly waft back towards .500. At least we have 3 all-star representatives :yay: Go Blue Jays! :)Key players for the Jays are playing hurt (Lind and Bautista) or on the injured list (Lawrie and Encarnacion). The offence was missing vs Oakland, and now the Jays aren't in first place. :( I hope things will improve soon! Go Jays Go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets healthy. The Blue Jays will need him down the road, if they can hold the ship together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jays fans: at least your ball club is competing in the woefully-mediocre AL East, where it appears as if all five teams will finish 81-81. Hold your breath for that nightmare tie-breaking scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The Phillies blow this year, but we take two from the red hot Brewers. Go figure. It's a mirage, like when they won five in a row a few weeks ago. Every now and then, the has-beens remember how to swing the bat and the never-will-bes make some solid contact. I think there's real hope to be had in some of the young bullpen arms, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat some pretty good clubs on the road and then go home and get clobbered. As for bats, we needn't worry: Grady Sizemore is waiting in the wings.

goose Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A 4-run 6th inning puts the A's on top 6-1 through eight! Moss got it started with a lead-off double and was brought in by Donaldson . Lowrie ( :musicnote: tomsawyer :musicnote: ) followed with a double of his own to keep things going :7up: . Callaspo (thank you Angels!) followed with another double, this time of the wall (michaeljackson). Lowrie failed to score as he was holding to tag-up :tsk: . With first base open, the Giants walked Bean. Kazmir struck out ( , this is the A's, bro'!), which brought up all-star catcher Norris. Norris hit a short fly to right, and again Lowrie couldn't score ( ). But with two outs, Vogt came through for the second time (he drove one in in the 5th), this time for two runs on a single. This A's team is fun to watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
