GDT(1/2): Toronto Blue Jays @ San Francisco Giants - Johnson vs Lincecum -10:15 PM ET

[fatcowxlive]

Johnson is a disaster.

 

He is? He's been throwing hard strikes hardly a problem with him

[Doc]

Largest contract for a pitcher ever, more like minor league contract with an invite to spring training. AA either needs new scouts or he should actually go to games, he gave up the farm for a bunch of scrubs.

[Dylan]

What is that on my screen.. hahaha

[havok24]

Fangraphs agrees with you

 

I don't mind putting DeRosa at 2B instead of them both tho

 

Kelly Johnson: .365 wOBA.

[fatcowxlive]

Andres Torres CF dinger

 

6-9 against JJ

 

Yup with 5XBH (2 HR, 3 2B)

[hummus]

What an awful team, we had an out and they blew it, we had a double play and they blew it, now that's how you get 2 run homer, don't hitting into double plays, and if you do, be sure the opposing defense sucks

 

Atleast we have a team, Montreal can suck it

[jays_fever]

Did anyone else notice that boni had all the time in the world to square up that grounded and still had his feet on an angle trying to scoop up that grounder

[JFD]

With all the pro scouting AA has, not one of them told him that Boni can't play 2b before the season?

 

yeah but he's got that speed. AA values it more than defense or OBP

[G-Snarls]

Good play Kawasaki

[Doc]

Blue Jays motto, get a run give it right back, they are so good at this.

[Pete_7]

Johnson looks much better than before he went on the DL IMO

[G-Snarls]

Kelly Johnson: .365 wOBA.

 

Don't do that

[Dylan]

yeah but he's got that speed. AA values it more than defense or OBP

 

All 6 of those exciting stolen bases!

[G-Snarls]

Johnson looks much better than before he went on the DL IMO

 

Stuff looks better yes

[Angrioter]

Giants 2-1

Thanks to Boni and EE

[Daniel Labude]

No

 

No no

 

Johnson is a disaster.

 

Should be only 1-1...he has pitched well this game...defense gave up 1 run

[Cello]

Lincecum

27 pitches, 17 strikes

 

JJ

32 pitches, 19 strikes

[fatcowxlive]

Kelly Johnson: .365 wOBA.

 

Ugh don't remind me. I wasn't opposed to bringing KJ on cheap. He's getting payed 500k less than Izzy at the moment

[Wilnercibia]

We are into f***ing June and they still make the same mistakes they made in the first week of the season..

 

Translation?

 

We haven't improved, we won't improve, this team is s*** and deserved of last place.

 

Field a better product

[dineke]

Who would have thought everyone in the rotation would turn into pumpkins except for Happ, and he almost turned into a pumpkin (literally).

[Arkadium]

Can we end the Boneface experiment already?

[baseballsss]

Yup with 5XBH (2 HR, 3 2B)

 

buck said that was his first career homer against him

[Angrioter]

Boni << Izturis

[Cello]

Ugh don't remind me. I wasn't opposed to bringing KJ on cheap. He's getting payed 500k less than Izzy at the moment

 

 

 

I'd take KJ over Izturis any day.

[Abomination]

Johnson looks much better than before he went on the DL IMO

 

I'm really happy with what I've seen so far, outside of losing command to the last 2 batters slightly. Delivery looks really smooth and effortless.

[ElNik2013]

Giants stunk it up defensively at RC, Blue Jays returning the favor it seems, except that this has gone on all year.

 

On the other hand, we knew they were giving up D by playing EE at 3B and Bonifiasco/Izturis stink so no one can accuse this team of prioritizing defense.

[fatcowxlive]

Maybe I'm biased because I've been hating on the idea of acquiring him for over a year.

 

I actually like his acquisition, gives us a trade piece or a draft pick after a quality season

[Dylan]

I'd gladly take johnson back...

[Wilnercibia]

Ugh don't remind me. I wasn't opposed to bringing KJ on cheap. He's getting payed 500k less than Izzy at the moment

 

That's pathetic, were paying Izturis more? Izturis is f***ing awful, Bonafacio is f***ing awful..and Kelly Johnson is raking it in, and he's a solid fielder.

 

AA is a genius

[fatcowxlive]

buck said that was his first career homer against him

 

Nope, second
