Credit to the Jays for eating $20.6 million. But wow, AA's going to lose his job with more moves like this one.

It's hysterical that a supposed home run hitting team is 13th in the league in homers.

 

Put it this way...the Tigers have 2 less homers in the 4th inning today than 3/4 of our infield have all season.

I'll take him

 

 

He can be reunited with Paddy, Molina and Zach Stewart. Jays also put Brandon Morrow on the DL. When it rains, it pours.

 

Moral of the story: You can never win by spending your way into contention (see Marlins in 2012, Blue Jays, Angels/Dodgers) unless you're the Yankees or Red Sox and could outspend by 50% the rest of MLB.

 

 

All of that meant someone had to be removed from the 40 man roster—and that someone turned out to be Romero.

 

Romero’s future with the organization is now in serious doubt, as is his major league career. There are several options, most of which will keep him in the organization, but there is little to no indication that he is anywhere near making a return to the big leagues.

 

Romero’s latest downfall was a two-thirds of an inning stint in which he allowed five hits and eight runs. He walked the final three batters he saw, each on four straight balls.

 

That’s a stunning contrast to the left handed pitcher who rocketed to stardom three seasons ago, and signed a $30 million contract. He appeared to be the face of the franchise, now he’s out of the picture in Toronto until someone can figure out what has gone so wrong with him.

Lawrie's been pesky this year. Probably an All-Star, with all SS's having down years so far. Then you have to take 1-2 from their rotation and the AL's best bullpen.

 

60 hits already this year...2nd to Josh Donaldson.

 

 

Cooper visit to the mound.

 

Quintana somehow survives for another inning. Laboring.

And as usual, the Sox have no idea how to properly execute a rundown.

 

How did these guys do it last year?

 

Honestly, it seems like a fluke now, as everything else we've seen the last 5 years or so shows this is a terrible fundamental team.
