Fixed lol

[TwistedLogic]

Rogers on Demand finally brought back the MLB.TV rip stream for the Blue Jays broadcasts, so for anyone that uses RoD, you don't have to use the atrocious bare bone Sportsnet Ontario / Sportsnet One streams anymore.

Buehrle's a f***ing stud. Pitching on back to back games

[crmr]

At this point I'd really rather see Navarro catching the younger guys, they need some extra runs that Navarro provides to keep the confidence up along with the better game calling. Buehrle knows this, that's why he's sticking with Navarro behind the plate despite "framing".

Yeah really. If he struggles vs a really light hitting lineup I'd imagine his leash will be short.

Da fuq?

[crmr]

Da fuq?

 

I just think the way Martin is playing right now it's better that he avoids Sanchez starts, needs to focus on his hitting with pitchers who already know what they're doing. Need a more reliable guy right now for Sanchez. Just my opinion, probably not popular around here but I want to win some games and rfaming doesn't matter if Sanchez doesnt have confidence in who's calling the game and missing the zone entirely

[Atothe]

Why I'm not worry about Pompey, .160 babip so far. With his speed and contact profile, It'll at least go up to .300.

Martin is like the perfect catcher for Sanchez. Can steal strikes low in the zone. Navarro blows...like seriously blows.

[JFD]

break some more offense records tonight.

Sanchez really only has 2 pitches right now....if I was calling the game it would still look the same. With Sanchez's movement it would be better to have someone who can frame in my opinion.

that makes no sense whatsoever. Everyone in baseball says Martin is a top level catcher. If Sanchez doesn't have confidence in Martin he might was well take up knitting.

 

 

you're argument is flawed. Martin is our best catcher and it's not even close.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Hopefully Sanchez's fastball won't be as flat and straight this start.

And nice defensive play.

[Travis_Snider]

great play to start the game from trav

[Orgfiller]

Travis can do it all.

it wasn't flat though

In general I agree, right now I think for Sanchez framing is secondary, and Martin's bat (right now )Hurts our chance to score runs in a game we will probably need runs in.

98 mph

FB at 98. Looks better so far.
