Valencia bails out Cisco and Navarro

[guylaroche5]

[burlingtonbandit]

That cop is smoking haha wow

[gruber92]

That HR just bought Valencia a week against RHP

 

I hope so..

[gruber92]

That cop is smoking haha wow

 

Yup.. Banging material, with the uniform on.

[leaffie]

He's working out in Dunedin, no timetable when he's coming back, doesn't sound good.

 

From Rotowire

 

Thanks all

[comeon sense]

Great move bringing in Valencia if Fransisco is out.

[kgm1]

That HR just bought Valencia a week against RHP

 

I sure as hell hope so

[Candy Maldonado]

not watching but yay!

[burlingtonbandit]

You're confusing things. He didn't miss by an inch or two. He missed across the other side of the plate. There was absolutely nothing that could be done there. By anyone. The ump still should have gotten the call correct, but the only thing Navarro could do, when set up on one side of the plate, and the ball is completely on the other side, is grab it. When we talk about missing his spot, we aren't talking about being slightly off.

 

On this particular circumstance you may be correct but over the course of the season there have been times where it has missed by a few inches and Navarro turns a strike into a ball. There is a reason he has some of the worst framing numbers in MLB.

my left eyebrow just rose 1 inch on that hit.

[GD]

bunt lol

[comeon sense]

Keep Pillar playing,his head is usually in the game.

[gruber92]

An eight game win streak would make things interesting.

[MrMariusz]

Expert bunter right there!

[closetjaysfan]

I would have let him have an AB there.

[burlingtonbandit]

I sure as hell hope so

 

Yup. I don't want to see any part of Francisco..

[thatoneguy]

Lol Kawasaki.

[comeon sense]

2nd time Pillar is motoring for a double. Like to see that kind of effort.

Love his intensity

[gruber92]

Gotta love Pillar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comeon sense]

Hahaha pillar !

[closetjaysfan]

Great job Pillar.

[MrMariusz]

Great great great great great great great great great great hustle

[burlingtonbandit]

Pillar's speed is underrated

[comeon sense]

Some speed in the lineup

[kgm1]

And I'm responding to anecdotal whining.

 

No matter how you spin it Moogy ,Navarro is the worst starting catcher defensively in the majors. as for his bat , I didn't expect more. It is above replacement level

[gruber92]

Reyes looked like he wasn't even running hard there.

[burlingtonbandit]

Reyes seems to be so passive when he gets on base. He doesn't look to steal very much for a guy that fast.

[comeon sense]

Speed works both ways...Offense/Defense

cant rely on Hrs,and hitting all the time.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yes, but who gives a s***? We know he's not good. But that doesn't mean every time he doesn't get a call, it's "wah! He sucks!" and every time a questionable call doesn't go the Jays way it's "the umps suck." It's f***ing tedious. It's like the fans at the game who cheer as if it might be a HR every time there's a flyball to the outfield.

 

Well what do you want fans to say "Good job!"? Fans will always have knee jerk in game reactions no matter who is playing, its just the way people are with sports.
