October 4, 201510 yr Buehrle is scheduled to pitch two innings tomorrow (to get to 200 on the season), and then retire. He will not be part of the Toronto Blue Jays playoff roster. source Edited October 4, 201510 yr by Jose Abreu
October 4, 201510 yr what? how does that make sense? didn't watch buerhle this year at all, is he not one of their starters? is he hurt?
October 4, 201510 yr 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.
October 4, 201510 yr Author If he's really not gonna be on the playoff roster, they might as well trade him to us and let him finish his career here...
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Guys, I think Mark's arm will probably fall off soon. Let the man retire. His arm must be shot...probably has been for a while.
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 07:14 PM) 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.

October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 08:41 PM) 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.
October 4, 201510 yr Author 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.
October 4, 201510 yr Not a good look for Buehrle but that's been pretty common with him the past few years.
October 4, 201510 yr Author Retire???....How about they sign him for another year with the Sox....other than Chris Sale...he is better than anything that we have now pitching wise!! Quintana and Rodon... so underrated, even by our own "fans"
October 4, 201510 yr Must be an injury??! How does a 15 game winner not have a spot somewhere on a postseason roster??
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 09:38 PM) 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. Edited October 4, 201510 yr by Soxfest
