GDT(1/3): New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays - Tanaka vs. McGowan - 7:07 PM ET

[xposbrad]

RASMUS WAS STANDING OUT OF POSITION!!!

 

Call up Gose, DFA, teach him on valuable LF tools.

 

Gose can't hit major league pitching

[GD]

Baseball is a lottery now. Why do we bother even watching??? And I guess organizations like the Cards, Yanks, Sox, Rays who consistently win are just so damn lucky!

 

People who do this are just so bad.

[JFD]

only need 4 solo HR's, lets do this!

[o2cui2i]

a home plate chopper and a ball smoked to the wall.... opposite ends of the hit spectrum.

 

 

hope the Dick doesn't suck moose balls tomorrow.

[theblujay]

Then why don't you just get hired in a front office if it's so easy

 

I'm not talking about predicting. I'm talking about actually watching the game. Game by game

[Anemic0ffense]

Gose can't hit major league pitching

 

He'd fit in well with our lineup

[o2cui2i]

He'd fit in well with our lineup

 

lulz

[theblujay]

Hutch will win us game tres that's all we get in our perennial losers bracket

[Angrioter]

Within 2, 3 or 4 years, Jeffress will be in the bullpen from another team and will have a good season.

 

Pitching coach "That kid has tremendous stuff; in Toronto are idiots for letting this tremendous arm walk"

[KingKat]

That was probably Jeffress' best outing of the season. I still think he gets DFA'd after the game so that the team can bring in some reinforcements.

[vic city]

Thole will start tomorrow. I want Kratz in the lineup but you have to at least give Thole 2 chances. But if he or Dickey shits the bed, we'll have to rethink things.

[theblujay]

It was so obvious we needed starters...

[fatcowxlive]

He'd fit in well with our lineup

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaHAHA nice! lol

[Boxcar]

Come on Betances. Give me a save.

 

Edit: f*** off Girardi.

[ElNik2013]

Some bloops and soft grounders really hurt the team tonight, but it's not like they pitched great. This team hasn't scored more than 4 runs in any games, wins or losses.

 

Tanaka really settled in after the early runs, he looks as advertised, it must be so difficult for hitters to tell his splitter from his fastball.

[Orgfiller]

And people like your naive ass are just so out of touch with reality. Have fun in LaLa land dude.

Go away

lineup is just so much less threatening when Reyes is not in the lineup. wonder how many AB he gets before the next time he breaks down.... so sad.

[Grant77]

Perfect, since he didn't answer, I can get my point across. The data is unreliable year to year is the main knock on them. We can ignore the defensive positioning cause the Jays don't really do that with Gump. My point is that in the moment, it's probably the most accurate representation of defense we have, and much better than Jonn's eye test.

 

I wonder what the year-year correlation of DRS is.

 

Defensive positioning comes into play on every at-bat, I'm not talking about shifts or anything. I'll agree that it's the most accurate statistic we have, but you're much too quick to write off observation, as it is still the best tool we have to evaluate defense (from a competent eye with multiple looks). I don't agree with his evaluation, but I'd suggest looking at things with a critical eye and not taking it for granted that these stats are accurate. Most of the time they are not, you have to pick and choose your spots and use multiple methods.

[xposbrad]

Well, when Reyes comes off the DL it will be Morrow's turn. They rotate.

Question: Do you actually know what my stance on this team is?

I simply disagree that the eye test is superior in this case. I feel like we could have a much better argument in a different situation in which I was less tired so I'll agree to disagree.

[JFD]

we need more than starters.. we need top of the rotation starters. good luck with that.

[fatcowxlive]

Solarte's pissing me off

[Boxcar]

Man, "The Hive" is so aggressive.

[Angrioter]

Solarte > Lawrie

Go away

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Probably one of the most boring games I've ever watched. Terrible. Like I almost fell asleep.

[fatcowxlive]

Solarte > Lawrie

 

I wanted Lawrie to prove you wrong but he didn't..... *sigh*

[theblujay]

Question: Do you actually know what my stance on this team is?

 

LOL! No I don't. Don't mean to come off as a prick. Just frustrated. You're probably a really cool dude. We just happen to disagree on a topic.

 

Lol

Not sure how you can say that when Diaz is producing just as well?
