GDT(1/3): Detroit Tigers @ Toronto Blue Jays - Alvarez vs. Dickey - 1:07 PM ET

[JFD]

nice base running retards

[DH12]

first his bill buckner imitation last night and now this today. This guy is begging to be demoted

[kcjaysfan]

Did Thole go home on his own, or was he waved?

[Daniel Labude]

I guess someone should start a Thole mistake thread.

[DH12]

Because Bonifacio is bad at baseball.

I was just joking Boni is crap your right

[Dylan]

Did Thole go home on his own, or was he waved?

 

Ran through the stop sign

[Daniel Labude]

Did Thole go home on his own, or was he waved?

 

He ran threw the stop sign.

[bowld]

he went on his own..3rd base coach told him to hold and he ran anyways

[Arkadium]

Can't believe people actually wanted Thole up here... guy is a career .327 SLG

[kcjaysfan]

Ran through the stop sign

 

Thanks, I just saw the replay. What a dolt.

[Dylan]

Can't believe people actually wanted Thole up here... guy is a career .327 SLG

 

McCann please

[guylaroche5]

so i just got home, is edwin injured or did he get the day off

[o2cui2i]

Did Thole go home on his own, or was he waved?

 

went straight through the stop sign.

[DH12]

We're all frustrated, but there's no reason to exaggerate. Lawrie has struggled, but I'd rather have him there than whomever is playing 3b today or since he's been out. I want to see Cabrera healthy before I draw any conclusions. Anywya.

 

They haven't really missed Lawrie

[bowld]

How many runs/games has the combination of Thole,JP and Blanco cost us?

[dineke]

Well, when your catchers were JPA and Blanco, there isn't much choice.

[Arkadium]

Good play.

[kcjaysfan]

Can't believe people actually wanted Thole up here... guy is a career .327 SLG

 

I think it's more the .327 career OBP, and .350 for 2010 and 2011.

[dineke]

would you rather it be Wilner

 

Eric Smith is basically the Wilner of basketball.

[fatcowxlive]

so i just got home, is edwin injured or did he get the day off

 

Hammy and he got scratched

[DH12]

according to Tabler apparently Derosa is an athlete. Thanks for that Pat

[Arkadium]

They were fooled by his AAA stats, Ala Negrych

 

Guy is a magician, done absolutely squat since being called up. But you gotta love the closed-eyes catching... that's gold

[DH12]

Even if the Jays are in their last week and they are still .500 Wilnercebia of the fan will say they still have a chance

[kcjaysfan]

Today is just not Thole's day.

[Arkadium]

I think it's more the .327 career OBP, and .350 for 2010 and 2011.

 

Not a bad point, too bad his OBP is .167 right now

[Daniel Labude]

Yea ok, and sad thing is we are prob better off w/o Lawrie and Melky

 

Better off without Bautista as well.

[Arkadium]

Eyes-closed catching - probably not the best way to go about it.

[kcjaysfan]

Not a bad point, too bad his OBP is .167 right now

 

I think a lot of that has to do with playing incredibly infrequently.

[DH12]

must be written on the ole Jays clubhouse chalkboard. If we get a few runs in an inning lets go out and give em right back!!!!!

[Arkadium]

Come on Thole - frame those pitches
