Three left handed bats from 7-9 against C.J Wilson?

[Ehh]

Three left handed bats from 7-9 against C.J Wilson?

 

What other options do we have? Seriously, haven't been following this team as much over the past few weeks.

[G-Snarls]

Three left handed bats from 7-9 against C.J Wilson?

 

You want what, Pillar and Arencibia in there today?

[gruber92]

Meh , maybe flip flop DeRosa and Goins.

You want what, Pillar and Arencibia in there today?

 

hell i would love to see JPA in there catching Dickey . I can just see him stabbing his glove up missing and getting plunked right in the face . LOL Now that would be worth watching the rest of this AAA roster

Derosa #scrappyasf***

[o2cui2i]

I said it a month ago. the jays will get hot enough to end up with a middle of the pack draft spot. they just dont do anything right.

[GD]

trumbomb

 

boom

[kgm1]

wow Trumbo is locked in . Glad I have him in the hold,em league

[o2cui2i]

Mark Trumbo is a god amongst men.

 

monster hit. amazing when you think it went that far off a pitcher who provides little more than an hitting T.

[G-Snarls]

Dude has stupid power.

 

But how complete of a hitter does he become? Edwin-esque? Or Adam Dunn-ish?

[o2cui2i]

Dude has stupid power.

 

if the Angels cant get things sorted out next year, they are going to be embarrassingly good.

[Jays]

Lawrie is fun to watch at the plate. He's so much different than the rest of the line up. He's like one of those hitters that you we always see on the other team. Will shoot the ball the other way trying to get a hit. Just goes with the pitch. It's nice that we finally have one of those guys... although I'm sure Dwayne Murphy is responsible for the Lawrie we observed last season.

[Jays]

Alomar speaking well of Goins. and someone compared the two on here. lol

[Jays]

If Goins is our starting second basemen next year I will be super pissed. He is a depth middle infielder that's valueable in the farm system. If you want to go "all in" as there calling it you don't leave holes on the roster. That includes the bench. All in means you have talented players at every position and quality depth that can fill in.

 

Boni at second, JPA at catcher and no pitching depth and they called that an all in year.

[Jays]

nice one sierra #antitanknation

[o2cui2i]

angels played that as bad as they could have. nice job by Sierra keeping the wheels running.

[Jays]

Pat says that Goins hasn't only impressed with his defence but his bat as well. citing that 291 batting avridge.

[Abomination]

Sierra raising his trade value a bit here in September.

[Abomination]

Maybe we can con Seattle into taking him for Ackley lol.

[Abomination]

Sidearm knuckleball???

[BlueJayWay]

Sidearm knuckleball???

Haven't seen him break that out before.

[o2cui2i]

doesn't look like much of a crowd at the game

[gruber92]

68 wRC+. Impressive.

 

Wow, you need to give the kid a break. How long has he been up here again? He also has faced above average pitching while up here.

 

Why do you have such a hate for the guy? Nobody is saying he'll be a starter, but with the defense he can bring, why not root for the guy?

[gruber92]

Get thicker skin. I was responding to a post about Tabler saying Goins has been impressive offensively. He has not been.

 

I know he hasn't walked much but putting up a .290 average in his first two weeks in the bigs with a low K rate is considered non impressive?

[GD]

I know he hasn't walked much but putting up a .290 average in his first two weeks in the bigs with a low K rate is considered non impressive?

 

omg

[gruber92]

lol

 

WTF do you expect from a middle infielder in his first two weeks?

[gruber92]

Dicky f***ing stinks.

[theblujay]

I know he hasn't walked much but putting up a .290 average in his first two weeks in the bigs with a low K rate is considered non impressive?

 

You gotta remember this is BTS. He literally thinks batting average in unimportant when evaluating a player.
