General Jays Discussion 2015

[DuckDuckGose]

If guys are on base bloop singles will score runs. Russ is the better hitter but as long as the balls are falling (he's hitting over .300 over the last couple weeks) ride the Collabello train.

Pretty dumb thought process.

[DuckDuckGose]

Pretty dumb thought process.

 

Well Russ should be hitting 5th but I don't make those decisions. I have no problem with Colabello in the middle of the lineup as long as his balls keep falling. When the luck runs out he should be on the bench.

Yes you just reworded what you've already said, still dumb.

[DuckDuckGose]

Nothing dumb about believing in luck

How do you figure

Hard to argue with that logic. That's why I always drink and drive.

Luck exists

Talk about a dumb statement.

I'll stop when my luck runs out.

[GD]

Luck exists

 

I think we should bat Goins ahead of Bautista. Sure, Bautista's a better hitter, but Goins is on a streak right now and luck exists.

[Frenchsoup]

This team is so talented but Gibbons seems to have a hard on for Collabelo, Valencia, and Navarro giving them much more playing time then they deserve.

Jose Bautista's in-studio interview on The Dan Patrick Show:

[DuckDuckGose]

Ya because losing a baseball game is somehow comparable to killing someone while drunk driving?

[DuckDuckGose]

Colabello is a much better hitter than Goins. Apples v oranges.

[Boxcar]

whoosh

[GD]

Colabello is a much better hitter than Goins. Apples v oranges.

 

Yes, apples and oranges. We're talking about hitting a worse hitter in front of a better hitter based on luck. I can totally see how different those two situations are, they're absolutely not the same concept.

 

lol

[DuckDuckGose]

lol

 

If Colabello wasn't batting 5th he'd be batting 6th. It's one spot on the order. Where as Goins would jump from batting 9th to 3rd in your scenario. Apples and oranges.

[GD]

wow

 

This is about any worse hitter hitting in front of any better hitter because of a hot streak in any situation.

[DuckDuckGose]

whoosh

 

Not at all. Your comment was irrelevant, insensitive, ignorant and asinine.

[DuckDuckGose]

wow

 

This is about any worse hitter hitting in front of any better hitter because of a hot streak in any situation.

 

I have no problem moving a guy up a spot if he's on a hot streak. I would bat Martin 5th but it's not a big deal if Gibbons is trying to ride it out.

I KNOW THIS IS WHAT I'M ARGUING

How does one even respond to this?

[GD]

If luck existed, DuckDuckGose would accidentally make a logical post once in awhile.

 

BOOM

He's right. So obviously you don't know what to say.

[L54]

lol at everyone getting so uptight over who bats 5th/6th. The difference is so miniscule.

[L54]

Russell will find his way back to hitting 5th. The over-reacting is a bit much IMO.

[Jimcanuck]

cant help but wonder what Smoak would do with regular playing time

 

can see him finally realizing his potential in the RC bandbox

[theblujay]

It's just a chance for GD and his good pal Boxcar to show off just how well they know advanced stats!

[Jimcanuck]
