[John_Havok]

s***

s***

 

and vs L.

Bautstia

Melky

Navarro

Encarnacion

Lawrie

Kratz

Rasmus

s***

s***

 

To optimize it

 

No matter the logic or math reasoning or any argument you could come up with, absolutely nobody would have Bautista lead off ... He needs to get dem RBIs!

[John_Havok]

The only useful thing Gose can do is run and catch balls, is that worth him taking a spot? He can't hit. Would you like a lineup with Goins/Gose in it, those are for sure 2 guaranteed outs.

 

Just playing devils advocate, but what is Colby right now?

[G-Snarls]

I assume you meant for Lind and not for Lawrie?

 

That's what I assumed. But unless Davis had stolen second before that pitch he would have been out anyway.

[Angrioter]

Goins is on 0-2 before start each AB

[Dylan]

ffs goins lol

Nope

 

But Sierra is wasting bench space too

 

I can see 2-3 times I would have used Gose so far this season

 

Sierra 0

[Abomination]

Go-Go Goggles!

[John_Havok]

Speaking of which, go to the blog forum, I want to run something by you.

[JFD]

did you start a sentence with a conjunction by mistake or is this normal for you?

 

sorry but I see this a lot and it bothers me lol

[fatcowxlive]

Cecil/Santos has to be baseball's variation of parking the bus

[G-Snarls]

Just playing devils advocate, but what is Colby right now?

 

turrible, but with a MLB track record of decency

[Angrioter]

Goins 1-16

Colby has pop. If he hits like he did in 2012, swinging at curves/sinkers out of the plate, then he's useless too. But he put up good numbers last year, so he's pencilled in as the CF. I would be hesitant signing him long term, which is the only good thing the jays did. Not signing him in the offseason to an extension was the right move considering we don't know which Rasmus will get in 2014. Worse case it costs us a couple of m more if he does duplicate his stats, but could save a lot more if he doesn't.

WTF is wrong with you people!

You're wasting precious bandwidth on this right now?

 

Correction:

 

However, unless Davis had... 4ever500 is being an *******... he would have been out anyway

[Orgfiller]

Oh FFS, and Kratz hits a line drive right to the defender.

[Flamingweazel]

WTF is up with yank cheap hits, yet Jays cannot buy a hit? Ellsbury kills us.

[Angrioter]

Cecil throw strike son

[Dylan]

Why not just keep loup in the game?

[Orgfiller]

f*** you ump! Of course Jeter gets the damn call!

[bzapple]

What the f*** ump?

 

Old man Jeter getting the call

[fatcowxlive]

f*** OFF bLUE

[Gen.Disarray]

Where did that miss?

[Abomination]

Ump just gave Jeter a retirement gift.

[Angrioter]

f*** ump!!

 

Strike 3

[Sparky12]

If Sierra is just going to sit on the bench and do nothing, we really should acquire someone else or call up Gose

 

Nice to have bench players that excel in at least one area of the game, either defense, base running, offense, Sierra really doesn't excel at anything

[Horses Fart]

Hope im wrong but anybody else feel like we might let this one slip through our fingers???

[John_Havok]

Every game against the Yankees I swear... There's always a strike/ball call that f***s the jays in crucial game-changing situations.

[fatcowxlive]

YeSS CECIL!!!

[John_Havok]

That was filthy, nice pitch Cecil
