Brett Lawrie needs to stop chirping and start producing

[G-Snarls]

What happened with BP that you are all talking about?

Haha, what an idiot. It's a cheap distraction that JP also loves to use. Apparently none of us are ever allowed to comment on the game because we didn't make the major leagues. What a joke.

 

He said Pro sport.....not the majors.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Maybe they really don't care about fans who don't blindly support the team unquestionably? Kinda like how they blew off Baseball Prospectus.

 

The majority of the fanbase is sketchy at best and always will be. And even if the Org. were to do something to lose the fans, they could easily snare an entire different group back whenever they wanted.

 

Oh, the difficulty of pleasing non-baseball fans.

[GeorgiaPeach]

If that is true then they are dumber than I thought. People will eventually move on if pushed far enough. Considering baseball takes a backseat to hockey in this city, its pretty idiotic that the organization lets this happen. This team may already be in danger of seeing a significant drop in attendance with their record and hot heads like Lawrie are not helping this.

 

Casual fans are easily persuaded and if ticked off and they leave, it wouldn't take much to do something different or build hope and they'd all be back.

[GeorgiaPeach]

this guy has a lot to learn about life... and baseball

 

Its this generation of late teens and early 20 somethings right now. Generation Entitlement.

Not that it matters, but Lawrie isn't even remotely literate.

Lol Lawrie's a badass. f*** Zaun.

[Olerud363]

#FDM and a slight improvement in ballpark situation (I'd assume AZ's park factor and park BABIP is higher than RC's) is my guess. He wasn't going to regain his former abilities here so I'm not sad about the move. Did we get compensation for KJ?

 

Boy, though, Hill would look SO much better than Izturis or Boni out there every day.

 

KJ would look better then them as well.

[GD]

KJ would look better then them as well.

 

I don't think KJ sustains this hot start either

[Olerud363]

And I don't think we got anything for KJ. We gave him arb after 2011 I think... and he accepted?? Then after 2012 you needed to give him a 12 million dollar offer. We did not obviously.

 

baseball ref has AZs multi year park factor at 105, and Rogers center at 103. Slight difference but not huge.

 

Hill had a better home spilt in 2012... so some guys argue it was the park. But it wasn't. I couldn't find his Toronto splits from 2011 (bbref has them mixed with Arizona) but in 2010 he had about a .600 ops on the road, .700 in Rogers center. In 2012 it was around .830 road and ,930 home. Exactly the same difference... so you can't say it's the stadium. #FDM... or in this organization make him a coach or "consultant".

Baseball analyst Gregg Zaun chimed in about Lawrie’s tweet on Thursday, suggesting on Sportsnet 590 The Fan radio that Lawrie should delete his Twitter account

 

Lawrie, however, plans to do no such thing, defiantly tweeting at the former Jays catcher: “@greggzaun I should get off twitter? .. I’ll do wat I want actually .. #TakeCareNow.”

 

Lawrie also deleted that tweet after posting it.

[Olerud363]

He's not that far off his career numbers. And actually he's allready had a couple seasons of .850 ops. So I'm not sure why he wouldn't be able to maintain it.

 

He might not. But it's no different then what he did for the whole year in 2010 or 2007. He's only 31.

[Olerud363]

I think people were saying the same about Aaron Hill after he left and started hot with Arizona. Why not once the guys get demurphed they often hit pretty well.

"Ill do what I want actually"..lol that's something I used to say.....when I was 12...to my parents.

[ElNik2013]

Turns out that all those stories about Lawrie's attitude weren't all bs afterall. Not saying they shouldn't have made the trade, but it looks like he doesn't realize he's hitting .160 or something like that. He's looking like the 3b version of Johnny Mac.

This guy is a f***ing idiot.

 

Does this team have any likeable players? Edwin, RA I guess are a couple.

[Pete_7]

If he doesn't want to see negative stuff he should delete his twitter page. Problem solved

[dineke]

I really don't see what the big deal is about his tweet.

they leave AA soaking his seat too

[havok24]

Man if you aren't a Jays fan, it must be really easy to dislike this team.

[ErrorcebiaPassedBall]

He said Pro sport.....not the majors.

 

Yeah, because it is really reasonable for all the fans in a stadium and the sports media to have made the minor leagues or some other pro sport. It's such a cheap distraction. He also deleted the tweet.

I would love this team if I was a fan of another team

The fact that he is actually listening to the radio is scary. He is so obsessed with himself that he is spending more time following what others are saying about him than working on his baseball skills.

that's just tzaziki

As a Jays fan, it's really easy to dislike this team.

[Chappy]

Lawrie is a moron, plain and simple. He needs to shut his mouth.

[ErrorcebiaPassedBall]

I really don't see what the big deal is about his tweet.

 

Have you done anything in pro sports? If not, I don't know why you are on a baseball forum commenting on the game. What do you know?

He's just telling the people who are taunting him on twitter to get lost. When there's MLB players doing much worse s*** like driving drunk I don't see what the big deal his tweet is.
