reyes throws another away

wow... we suck

[EdwinsParrot]

reyes and lind, lose lose situation there

reyes throws another away

 

 

I'll put that one as putting in extra effort. He got the ball within arms length.

[burlingtonbandit]

I don't get the "you can't move a veteren off SS" arguement. If you tell Reyes he is going to play 2B and he says I don't want to, you say fine stay at home and we not pay you your salary.

Story of the 2014 year. Chance at getting out of the inning and instead it becomes a big inning. I have no confidence in Reyes making a big play (even everyday plays are iffy).

If Lind had of stretched any further he would have been pulled off the base. Lind make a good effort in my opinion. Reyes just can't make the big plays.

 

Just imagine if Reyes had only 6 errors this year instead of 19. The Blue Jays might had won another 6 - 7 games. In addition, the errors he makes are a motivation killer for the team (and it really peeves the fans).

[o2cui2i]

ok... anyone playing? lol

I do think that it's a tougher change to approach than fans probably think it is...it also shouldn't be done just to be done. There has to be an increase in overall value to make it worth while.

[Mikeleelop]

Watch the whole play. Saki made a horrible throw to start the turn. The throw was at Reyes knees. Lost the split second that made the difference

 

Yes Reyes throw was off but looked like ellsbury was going to be safe anyway

For sure its tougher but this is done with the thought of making the team better. What is Reyes going to do if they put his name at 2nd base on the lineup card every day?

[nextyear]

That run was manufactured by Reyes. However, he is still -1 because of his 2 run error.

And apparently, Ellsbury was hurt on the play.. he has left the game and Chris Young has come in to play LF (with Gardner shifting to his natural positon in CF)

There are many shortstops that would have made that play. Reyes has a history of making errors. I think the Blue Jays made a big mistake by paying him so much.

I actually think Reyes would be okay with the move. It just has to be an obvious upgrade. They should tell him that they are looking for a 3B, 2B or SS in the off-season and if they find a solid player at SS he'd be 2B. I just don't think that player is out there...and I don't think the team sees Reyes at SS as a huge issue.

Miami made that signing, not the Blue Jays. We only assumed the contract in the trade.

[Orgfiller]

f*** off Teixeira.

[John_Havok]

f*** off everything Yankee. Double down the line goes put of play costing them a run.

 

Wild pitch then caroms right off the wall straight back to the catcher... Costing the Jays that run again.

[EdwinsParrot]

jays luck(or lack there of) is amazing sometimes

You wouldn't take Stephen Drew at 5-7 million at SS? My first target would be Headley for 10-12 million but Drew would be there with Cabrera for me.

Was not an error technically

I am not sure what you mean. It was announced on TV as an error and on the MLB scoring summary as an error - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_09_19_tormlb_nyamlb_1&mode=gameday

[Orgfiller]

Hall of Fame range.

[Orgfiller]

Damnit Buck, wasn't even close.

[Mikeleelop]

Wow. That may be ft 3b next year?

[bill]

nice swing by valencia there

[burlingtonbandit]

The Blue Jays must be trying to get a better draft pick. Why would you not PH Dan Johnson for Valencia if you were actually trying to win?

[EdwinsParrot]

lmao at that swing though

[Mikeleelop]

Tank job again this year please. Just like the last two
