GDT(4/4): Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays - Quintana vs. Buehrle - 1:07 PM ET

[Convo]

 

Jose Bautista

Hoping for some good news this morning and then have a big announcement to make this afternoon #StayTuned

 

 

What the hell. This makes me nervous. Is he just referring to his injury status?

 

Edit: Nevermind, it's just HR derby related and whether he'll be in the line-up or not tomorrow.

[Convo]

When is Lawrie expected back?

 

Anyone?

[KingKat]

The first part is likely his injury status. The big announcement part likely isn't big at all. Probably a new sponsorhip he's pimping or something equally inane he's being paid to hype up on Twitter.

[Daniel Labude]

Anyone?

 

3 weeks is the best id assume....2 more recovery and 1 week of rehab starts in minors

[ElNik2013]

More importantly, it negated the possiblility of a retroactive DL stint for Bautista. Not worth it IMO. (Admiteddly, that's easier to say knowing that he didn't come through.)

 

 

I thought they should've DL'ed him right away. Remember, Reyes took a few days off at the end of ST only to reinjure the hammy on OD and missed 2 weeks. Rasmus had a few days off when he first injured his hammy, came back for a few games and then ended up missing a month.

 

 

We'll see what happens.

/pat on the back for the Booster Juice prediction.

Uh, Bautista is a vastly, vastly superior hitter to Navarro. It's that simple. Even a Bautista that hasn't faced live pitching in a week, I'd probably want him up there over any Jays hitter except Edwin.

 

Navarro could've easily come up with a big hit like he usually does then we still have Bautista available to pinch hit for one of the scrubs.

are we really doing this? are you seriously advocating Navarro over Bautista because of his supposed "clutch" hitting, I hope you're trolling

Fight! Fight! Fight!

lmao @ this argument

 

Even if we're giving clutch hitting some merit...

 

Bautista RE24: +140.76 runs above average

Navarro RE24: -90

 

Better hitters do better in clutch situations. Who'da thunk it.

apparently you can't read but I'll try again for you. Navarro can handle the bat so there is no reason to pinch hit for him in that situation, especially since he's been hot with the bat lately. then you would have Bautista available to pinch hit for one of the many scrubs.

I guess what you're saying is that Bautista pinch hitting for one of the other scrubs provides a larger upgrade than him pinch hitting for Navarro who the manager thought was good enough to bat #4 in his lineup.

Not one of your better posts.

it's about getting the most out of your team and pinch hitting Bautista for Navarro when there's a bunch of scrubs in the lineup isn't doing that.

[G-Snarls]

Who's making the GDT if Fatcow doesn't show up?

[Dylan]
