ST: A No-Man's-Land Team @ A Team Still Not Sure What It's Doing | August 11-13

[zilby]

A tank vs. a ship. Neat.

We're about 40 minutes from first pitch and we had no ST, I need to make up for this anomaly of a series earlier in the week. Not sure why the Yankees looked like the Jays with RISP for two games last series, but in my 6 games on this ST run, they've alternated losses and wins. We should be due for two losses this series. I'm prepared for the consequences. JaysRule, Schad and I will figure something out to maximize the ST tank effort and get a solid pattern going that ensures the losing mojo is there at a constant.

Game 1 - 7:07PM
Jameson Taillon (6-5, 4.60) vs. Marcus Stroman (10-5, 3.17)

Game 2- 1:07PM
Trevor Williams (5-4, 4.17) vs. Chris Rowley

Game 3 - 1:07PM
Chad Kuhl (5-7, 4.53) vs. JA Happ (5-8, 3.77)

Pillar such a hacker. No need to throw him a strike

[vaff87]

LOL, Refsnyder.

[Tigersrule]

Stroman may kill him

Only fitting that we bring our own ship out against the Pirates' ship.

Looks like Schad's concerns over Refsnyder at 2B were well-founded.

[nonc]

After tonight Refsnyder's career fielding % at 2B will barely be above .900 (!)

Shapiro/Atkins were brought in to put the Jays on a save Rogers money treadmill and they are delivering.

[Lateral Quicks]

Goins can't be stopped with RISP.

[Lateral Quicks]

Pillar.... still useless.

[Lateral Quicks]

Quality ABs from Pillar and Refsnyder there.

Maybe Refsnyder can go for some kind of triple crown tonight with 3 LOB, 3K, 3E.

Pillar's swing has always been pretty bad and recently I saw him swing at a pitch that landed in the middle of the opposite batter's box

[Lateral Quicks]

Refsnyder 4 Ks and 2 errors. He single-handedly lost them the game.

Also, he looks totally disinterested out there - almost like he doesn't want to be playing.

[Natural11]

Is Barney injured? Why is Refsnyder playing, unless the tank is real? Singlehandedly cost them the game.

[TOStateofMind]

What a night for refsnyder.

[Mehar]

I am now on the Tank bandwagon. Hoping Refsnyder is the second baseman the rest of the year. Well done. Holding out hope that when the season is over- the Jays will get to pick in the top 5 in the draft next year.

Doubt he's disinterested...he's playing for his career here. He simply isn't a competent second baseman.

What if Refsnyder was sent by the Yankees to sabotage us? I wouldn't put it past them.

Wouldn't this be doing the Jays a favour? We don't need a .500-.520 pace finish from this team. They sure as hell aren't going to play at the .700 winning pace they likely need to make the playoffs.

I hated Refsnyder 2 games into his tenure here but at this point he should play 2b every day.

[Wo1verine]

Refsnyder is awful need to stop playing him every couple days ffs

[dagger]

Martin to the DL, Ohlman up. Guess that means lots of work for Danny Jansen in Buffalo.
