Even Siddall is ripping Navarro for his horrible framing.

Who's the guy calling the game with Buck? Seems decent.

Joe Siddall, he's usually with Jerry Howarth in the radio booth, and gets the occasional gig when Pat is out. He's very good.

Btw, this is not the first time I've tuned in to a broadcast (radio or TV) where Siddall is critiquing and talking about the importance of framing, I remember him praising McCann while the Jays were in New York.

[jaysfan2014]

Thank god Drabek god out of that mess...

[ElNik2013]

2 mediocre teams, meh...pretty soon, I'll tune out baseball for a long while, like I ditched beer.

Siddall for GM?

[GD]

xFIP v. ERA (before he came out for the 6th) says differently.

 

Are you arguing with xFIP?

 

o s***

[GoldenHawk07]

To the poster who mentioned Drabek falling to 1st. I thought it was when he landed his front foot was always angled at he needed to land with it pointing straight at home instead?

 

Then again maybe being angled results in the fall so it could be the same issue

[jays4life19]

It's a little depressing watching Drabek throw a 91 MPH fastball.

xFIP doesn't account for your horrible catcher adding two walks to the pitcher's line, just saying.

quick i'll calculate his xxFIP with my solar powered calculator let me get it out of my pocket protector

[GD]

Or for perpetual excuse-making to protect My Little Stromy.

 

Okay so this has got to be a violation of something in the TOS.

[wardhenke1]

13 straight retired by Smyly and 5-13 in August. And there are still some on here who maintain that this team didn't quit after July 31st.

I thought you carried your spreadsheets around? Damnit GD, this is why we can't have nice things.

[Inklink]

lol

[BTS]

Well, the team's run differential just hit 0.

Some people just don't like admitting when they are wrong, again and again. They were wrong about the O's. Wrong about the Yanks. Wrong about the Red Sox. Wrong about the Rays. Wrong about the Mariners and Royals.

 

Seriously though. Some players may have been looking for an excuse to tank, but hey, at least tank all the way, this way the house is cleaned and the new tenants get a higher draft pick.

[Orgfiller]

Suddenly I'm glad I didn't ask my less-than-casual friends to see if they wanted to go to this game.

[Orgfiller]

I'm not going to make excuses for the offense, but maybe, just maybe, the pitcher who was traded for David f***ing Price is performing well because the Rays saw that he was good and expected him to be good?

What??? No baseball and ... no beer? Total freaking blasphemy!!!

[ElNik2013]

LOL, not at the same time though. If I suspend baseball, I'll drink some beer.
