Wow. Awesome career.

 

 

Was he not expected to be on the Jays playoff roster? That's surprising to me but maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention.

That's what it sounds like. Here's this from the Blue Jays website:

 

It's possible that when Buehrle was removed during the seventh inning, he was walking off the field for the final time of his career. Toronto has yet to announce its postseason roster, but it's believed the club will go with a starting rotation that includes David Price, Marcus Stroman, Marco Estrada and R.A. Dickey. That doesn't leave any room for Buehrle, but an alternative scenario could see him being moved to the bullpen.

 

This sucks, would have been awesome to see him pitch during the postseason- I adopted the Jays as my playoff team partly mainly because of that, but if not, what an incredible career.

Would be sweet if he was traded to us for tomorrow's game.

 

The thought crossed my mind, but what if they needed him if a starter got hurt? Plus, he's still their teammate.

 

I'm sure they'll do the ceremonial final contract stuff, and there will be a new statue going up next year.

 

Man, I respect that guy. What a competitor, and just a normal dude.

His career Sox ERA is 3.83... that's so much worse than I thought.

2006 is probably skewing that number though.

 

The hitting environment was a little better early in his career too. 2001-2005, he was pretty awesome. And obviously still very good after that.

Must be an injury??!

How does a 15 game winner not have a spot somewhere on a postseason roster??

Great question especially since Drew Hutchinson has sucked so bad.
