Hilarious Yankee Fan is Hilarious
When they hung those back-to-back dongs, they really seemed to know what it was going to be right away. I chalk it up to meaty Ventura pitches, but my gut response is, they sure seemed to know precisely what was coming.
It couldn't have been really good hitters running into some mediocre pitching.
Yankee fan here, I think the Yankees have their work cut out for them. While the Jays’ deadline acquisitions help them quite a bit, Tulowitzki always is a risk for injury, and Price while his numbers look good on paper, doesn’t quite remind me of the David Price a few years ago. I’m not convinced either of these trades will push the Jays over the top...and Price looks to be another 2 month rental job that was not worth trading for. Not a fan personally of rental trades as they come with downside in that the player probably will not be around. Sure it might spur the Jays for now...for a price.
There’s also something I feel being overlooked with the Jays; their manager John Gibbons. He’s not a guy that I’ve ever felt inspires you with confidence.

Some Yankee fans on the Internet over this series have a consistent theme of dismissing the Jays' acquisitions and acting like it's all no big thing. It's all fine.

Tulowitzki is always a risk for injury- as is Mark Texeira. And Carlos Beltran. And Brian McCann.
He adds later on in the comments that Tulowitzki is owed a lot of money for a dude who spends a lot of time on the DL. He forgets, of course, that the Jays already had a shortstop who has injury issues and is owed a lot of money, they just traded him for a better one. They didn't add to their financial burden at all.
Price's numbers (that he has put up over the past few years) look good on paper, but doesn't remind this person of old David Price. Why? I dunno. He throws hard and throws a lot of strikes. He seems to get better as the game goes on. He did do the work to earn those numbers. But who cares about facts when one wants to brush things off?
Not worth trading for? I guess you could make that argument, but if a team has the best offence in baseball and has the opportunity to improve and catch teams ahead of them , when would the right time to make a trade be if not then? Also, it's David Price.
Who was obtained for Not Stroman, Not Sanchez, Not Osuna, Not Pompey, and Not Alford.
Also, the Jays had a very good, if under performing, team before the trade deadline. Adding one of the best pitchers and one of the best position players just elevates everyone.
And I guess it's okay he doesn't feel inspired by John Gibbons. But one manager left his starter in a batter too long today, and it wasn't John Gibbons.
