[Travis_Snider]

mcgowan has too go...redmond for rotation plz

[Convo]

Who was it that said all the pitchers are cheating and using pine tar? In any case, how can anyone be so dumb... with HD, slo-mo, etc. we can see everything.

Get the pen warm. McGowan looks awful. Everything elevated.

[havok24]

Horrible.

[JaysFan4Ever]

These guys legitimately think that a) we're stealing signs that stealing signs is somehow against the rules and c) that just knowing what pitch has been called means you automatically can hit it.

 

Exactly! They don't seem to realize MLB hitters tend to know what pitch is coming, in what count, where it might be and still miss. You kind of figure it out. 0-2 and the pitcher has a nasty curve you bet you might see it low in the zone and probably will drop out to get you to swing and miss. Anything is better than saying "I guess our pitchers just suck against the Jays and in the RC."

Why the f*** does McGowan keep shaking off the signs? Holy f***.

[Orgfiller]

I'll just leave this here

 

Let me preface this with: I like Chris Tillman. I think he's a good pitcher. But really, other teams (not every team, but a good number) have either developed or signed aces. The Marlins have Jose Fernandez, other teams have...guys. Why is our "ace" a career 4.15 ERA pitcher who got his only all-star appearance on the strength of his win total? Even if he repeats last year's numbers this season, he's just not a number one starter.

 

The response

I hope you are serious about the end of the whining. a 4.15 ERA ALL coming in the AL East I reckon would be about a 2.98 in just about any National League division. Does Verlander never get lit up? Cliff Lee? Halladay in his prime? It's one game man!

 

Small comparisons, can't hurt.

I don't like the way Mcgowan is pitching, this lead is not safe

[Travis_Snider]

Wow @ Pinada... what kind of suspension?

 

1 start i guess

[Daniel Labude]

Quit throwing fastballs down the middle

[G-Snarls]

Why the f*** does McGowan keep shaking off the signs? Holy f***.

 

Yeah he's like the only starter not just going with Navarro 90% of the time

[JFD]

there we go

[G-Snarls]

Quit throwing fastballs down the middle

 

Esp to this guy

[Horses Fart]

I don't like the way Mcgowan is pitching, this lead is not safe

 

Agreed! This lead is far from safe!

[kgm1]

How big is that CS

[JFD]

finish him! (tilman)

[Deadpool]

 

I'm glad someone's actually getting called on this when it's this obvious... Lester's "glowing arm" from last year should have had him ejected too...

[Candy Maldonado]

So he gives up 2 in the first then comes out the next inning with pine tar.

[closetjaysfan]

I don't like the way Mcgowan is pitching, this lead is not safe

 

This is bang on. If he gets through the 5th inning ill be surprised... actually ill probably be disappointed because it will mean that the O's have 6+ runs and Gibbons left him in too long

[Convo]

Why not just put the pine tar in your hair, just below the back of your hat... nobody would see it and you could nab some when you go to adjust your hat.

[JFD]

has Pineda been busted for pine tar before?

[gruber92]

Yeah he's like the only starter not just going with Navarro 90% of the time

 

Seriously..

Pat Tabler in Minnesota on a cold night

 

"Morrow should have a pinetar rag In his back pocket"

 

Yup and when Buck asked him, "Ain't that cheating?" Tabby laughed and said, "So?"

 

What a hypocrite lol

[jerb]

He's given up two home runs tonight after shaking off a sign from Navarro. He should be more like Mark Buehrle and not shake off any signs. Navarro seems to have a better idea of what pitch to throw than McGowan.

Colby is really frustrating to watch so far this season

[o2cui2i]

Our offense has lost focus
