Hahaha classic!

[Iluvbjs]

He gets unbelievable scrutiny because some people simply do not like the knuckleball. Fact is, other top 3 starters have average seasons all the time, and they do blow up once or more a month. Look at Shields today, gave up a bunch of homeruns on few hits, are people on the Royals forum now telling him to pack his bags?

 

Gibbons is an idiot though for failing to recognize that RA can get rattled, and when he does, hes not likely to recover. If the bullpen is available, use it. Its not because he is a knuckleballer that he has to throw 120+ pitches every time out. Not getting pulled in time puts him at a disadvantage vs "traditional" pitchers who are on a much shorter leash.

 

Fair enough, I can respect those points. But he still needs to give us some clutch games when we need him. It's not like we're facing the Yanks or the Sox in september here. But with a 9 game win streak and facing the royals? I expect better. From just about ANY starter, not just him.

Nice hook.

 

Just keep the ball down.

[o2cui2i]

Jose played that beautifully... what a screw up.

 

this is a strange game.

[IBTrini]

They said it earlier, but wtf is the record for homeruns in a month?

Came across this recently - MLB rare feats: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/rare_feats/index.jsp?feature=hr_month_leaders

 

Which by the way is different to Jays records: http://mlb.mlb.com/tor/history/all_time_leaders.jsp

Slick scoop. Find that release kid.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Get someone else loose...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

[Anemic0ffense]

Don't like this guy pitching in a tight game

[o2cui2i]

I love you. Wanna date for 3 years, then cheat on me with the result of me having a huge drunken breakdown on the internet?

 

lol

 

rinse and repeat

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Omg he had him at 2nd.

[Inklink]

Take the sure out kid, good, but he had him easy I think.

[Orgfiller]

Ugh, you had one of the slowest players in the game. At least he got the sure out.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

He had TONS of time to go to 2nd there.

[Orgfiller]

Perez is a stud. Wouldn't hate pitching around him.

[fatcowxlive]

The dude is so damn short!

EE proving xfip is ********. XFIP treats an EE flyball and Ryan Goins flyball as exactly the same thing.
