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

[StevieRay]

Thinking of a new lineup that gets arencibia out of 4 spot while also maintaining left right left right:

 

Melky

Bautista

Lind

EE

Colby

DH

JPA

Boni

Kawasaki

 

I think this is better as Lind is OBP guy and EE can drive him in.

[Arkadium]

Why can't we use Boneface as a pinch-runner and nothing more?

[G-Snarls]

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

 

And half what we paid him in 2012

[fatcowxlive]

Jooonel 0.9 fWAR

 

Don't do this to me :'(

[Arkadium]

Kawasaki getting greedy, swung at 5 balls in that AB

[baseballsss]

Nope, second

 

not sure why i trusted him **shakes head***

[Angrioter]

Johnson is tall, he look like a cleanup hitter

[G-Snarls]

Why can't we use Boneface as a pinch-runner and nothing more?

 

Cause the whole Miami trade wouldn't happen unless he was included.

 

So... Well, yeah.

[G-Snarls]

Johnson is tall, he look like a cleanup hitter

 

3 home runs 2009

[Wilnercibia]

Kawasaki getting greedy, swung at 5 balls in that AB

 

It's not greedy, its low IQ. This team has a bunch of Low IQ players.

 

AA thought if he signed a whole bunch of Low IQ players they would combine their IQ's to form a Masterfully intelligent team.

[fatcowxlive]

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

 

A solid fielder in the OF you mean . still I agree with you

 

Oh and KJ is getting paid just under 2.5MM

We signed Izzy to a 3year/$9MM contract

[Arkadium]

A lot of Lincecum's stuff looks so hittable now

[Pete_7]

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.

 

I think his mechanics will improve with each start

[Arkadium]

Is anything more annoying than Boneface blowing bubbles and smiling after he botches a play and costs us games??

[Dylan]

vs righties

Melky, Jose, Edwin, Lind, Rasmus, DeRosa, JP, Kawasaki, Izturis/Boni

 

Lefties when lind falls back down to earth

Melky (DH), Jose, Edwin, DeRosa, JP, Rasmus, Kawasaki, Boni/izturis, Gose

[bzapple]

Lol everyone hated KJ at the end of last year.

[JFD]

that's it for the offense this game. time to fold up like a lawn chair.

[fatcowxlive]

not sure why i trusted him **shakes head***

 

He was 5/8 coming into this game

 

Here's JJ vs. Giants:

[Angrioter]

Lincecum still looks pretty good to me.

 

Lots of movement, no heat (-4 or -5mph)

[JFD]

JPA swagging

[Dylan]

that was brutal saki... omg

[leaffie]

Anyone know when Reyes is due back?

[fatcowxlive]

Lol everyone hated KJ at the end of last year.

 

We did, but that was geared because $7MM contract

 

If he's only paid $2.5MM then I'd bet not many people would be angry

[Cello]

Lol everyone hated KJ at the end of last year.

 

Cuz his replacement is garbage.

[Wilnercibia]

3 errors and counting?

 

Blue Jays Baseball

 

The Fundamentals are strong with this team.

 

Laughing stock of the league

[Deadpool]

A solid fielder in the OF you mean . still I agree with you

 

Oh and KJ is getting paid just under 2.5MM

We signed Izzy to a 3year/$9MM contract

 

I cannot fathom the logic of giving Izturis a 3 year deal...

[Arkadium]

Anyone know when Reyes is due back?

 

Sooner than later I hope

[Dylan]

Lineup could be...

 

Righties

Reyes, Jose, Edwin, Lind, Melky, Rasmus, JP, DeRosa, Lawrie

 

Lefties

Reyes, Jose, Edwin, Melky (DH), Davis, Rasmus, JP, DeRosa, Lawrie

 

so much better

[Angrioter]

Bruce Lee night?

 

WTF is going on

[Abomination]

Anyone know when Reyes is due back?

 

The last I've seen is at least 2 weeks before he starts rehab assignment.
