I thought Matz started today or are you referring to a future game?
I think he's talking about the game on September 22.Quote:

Gurriel is now gone day to day MRI shows negative but now I wonder what the chances are of him going back to the same Gurriel.
Yeah the injuries are chipping away at the length of the lineup, but the top is still solid.Quote:

Springer should've been still deactivated and Dickerson fill in the hole . Biggio needs to come back !Quote:

actually the Yankees opened the door by losing 7 in a row, so if the Blue Jays dont make it they have no one to blame but themselves. statistically the Blue Jays are 8th in games lost due to injury The Yankees are 9th though Luis Severino wasnt counted because he wasnt on the opening day roster, if he had been the Yankees would be 6th. but here's the kicker...the Devil Rays are 2nd with over 2370 games lost due to injury.Quote:

then there is covid 19
the Blue Jays had 6 players miss time due to covid 19
the Devil Rays had 9 players miss time due to covid 19
the Yankees had 13 players miss time due to covid 19
so as you can see the injury excuse just doesnt hold water
Is this all in response to my post you quoted? Or just saying stuff you feel?Quote:

you hear statements like this all the time by fans who I guess arent aware that the data is tracked by MLB. I wasnt sure whether you knew it or not. as you can see from the data the Blue Jays are no different than their main competitors. in fact they've been luckier than some.
Yeah I wasn’t comparing the jays to anybody. Just pointing out that we have a 9-deep lineup, but now it’s down to 6 or 7 deep.Quote:

The Mets got what they deserveQuote:

And they lost again .
It would be an absolute tragedy if this team doesn’t make the playoffs after they played so well for 3 weeks to get into the position. Especially losing games to the Twins.
Jays were 4 up on the Mariners and 1.5 up on the Yankees on Monday morning. Now we’re tied with Seattle and 2 back of the Yankees. Terrible week
Bo had a disgraceful game at the plate. Kirk has been freezing cold. George still can’t hit either.
If they ein the next 2, not really gonna get worried just yet. We lost the series 2-1 against Rays and tie Minny. So not the end of the world. Ultimately whether we win or lose is based on how we do against Yankees.
