We can't have both Tolleson and Goins on the 25-man can we? Which one do you guys prefer for the job?

 

I'd reluctantly lean towards Goins just because he can field SS, but that bat... and Goins isn't even an above average runner despite his stature

 

I'd prefer Goins too because of the better SS defense. The only catch is that Tolleson is out of options.

I voted Tolleson in the poll earlier this year, but I've changed my mind. I think we need to take Goins because of the need for a backup SS. I'd rather have the + D than the little more bat Tolleson can offer.

Offensively, Tolleson's strength is hitting lefties which is not really a big concern with this team. Thats' why though I like Tolleson in a vaccum, I'm comfortable letting him go. I can't really see him sticking on the roster all year anyways. It's probably DFA him now or DFA him later so might as well see if you can sneak him past waivers now.

Yes, Goins and get Reyes out of the game in every possible situation where were leading in the 7th inning or above. His defense is spectacularly bad.

 

This reminded me of when he blew our long winning streak :(

Norris with the one hard hit ball for the 2b, then settles in and handles the next 3 batters. really impressed with his stuff, i haven't seen him live much I guess.

1. Reimold hit by pitch (barely on the jersey)

2. Joseph doubles to RF, reimold scores

3. Cabrera grounds out to 2B

4. Machado strikes out swinging (88 changeup)

5. Pearce flies out to LF

 

2-1 Jays; top 4th

Don't remind us of that! That was literally the turning point from up up and away to crash bang boom. Bautista had just NAILED a guy at first on a lined shot to him in RF.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It's not like Tolleson can come off the bench and pinch hit. Maybe for Pompey if Pillar is still on the bench? But then you could simply pinch hit with Pillar...

O's broadcast on Norris

LOL! To be fair, that is probably how we look as well when Norris is pitching.

1. Valencia singles to CF

2. Viciedo pops up to RF

3. Smoak singles to LF, valencia to 2nd

4. Gindl grounds into a DP

 

2-1 Jays; bot 4th

O's broadcast seems to have some faith in Smoak's bat. Also... so jealous of the O's broadcast, it's not even anything special but it's a treat in contrast to Buck & Tabby.

Douchebag in real life or just in front of a keyboard?

He's doing it because people were giving Gruber a hard time the other day when he was play by playing. Spanky et al were saying the same thing to Grub.

I'm doing it because it makes me laugh and so should you

 

It doesn't bug me at all. Made me chuckle the first time I saw that shtick.
