General Jays Discussion 2015

"Re"inured? His arm was never injured, it was his knee/leg. Not sure how his leg could lead to a arm injury.

 

The pitch starts with the feet and legs. If those are not 100%, the likelihood of arm injury is very high. Look at history of baseball. One of the best pitchers of all time, one of the Dean brothers, blew out his arm because of a broken big toe.

Why are you guys being dicks to a guy that (probably) doesn't know better?

 

For the record, one guy and one single post of slightly dickish tone.

 

Fluffy sure knows how to overreact.

Using stats like ERA, Save % and WHIP isn't going to create a lot of discussion around here because most of us prefer to use advanced stats that tell a bigger picture. If you've actually got an openness to learning more about the game, feel free to check out the Sabermetrics thread at the top of the forum, and definitely check out http://www.fangraphs.com. FIP, WAR and wRC+ are some good stats to read up on as a beginner to sabermetrics. Just a heads up though, if you aren't willing to learn more about the game and prefer sticking to ancient statistics like ERA, you probably won't have an enjoyable experience here. If that's the case, check out BlueBirdBanter or the Blue Jays sub-reddit for more casual discussions.

 

I agree with all of this.

He's got a point. Just see Ricky Romeros knee issues, which started his downfall.

[ElNik2013]

Check out Stroman's twitter page to see pictures of his rehab to get a better idea of how it has gone.

 

It's been 5 months since he injured the knee so what makes anyone think that he's rushing or being rushed by the team to come back this season?

[RealAccountant]

We may never lose again

That guy certainly is citing average a lot for an "analyst".

[Atothe]

His knees were his downfall, if only there was a way to fix that and get back to throwing strikes.

[jays_fever]

Stephen A is the biggest hack over at ESPN. He barely know's s*** about basketball and now they have him covering baseball too lol

[JaysAllMighty]

That one sure is funny.

[Caper]

We better sit Maicer Izturis today. He's an 0'fer against Tanaka.

[HERPDERP]

E5 sitting, navvy hitting cleanup

 

We gonna lose.

[glory]

Navarro's clutch professionalism will be batting 4th today, followed by Lolabello and Smoak. No Edwin, no Martin.

 

Yeah, this one won't be easy.

[nextyear]

Today's lineup from Shi Davidi's Twitter:

 

 

 

and another showing just the Blue Jays lineup, but including bench players with Pennington, from the Blue Jays twitter:

Navarro fourth lol. Sucks EE has been banged up most of the year,we could really use a healthy EE to get rolling.

[RealAccountant]

I understand the Navarro catching but is it really necessary to get Cola in a game

[CrackerJack]

Edwin will DH whenever he wants to ... hopefully his finger/hand issue will heal with a couple of days off.

Martin isn't catching every game the rest of the way. Navarro works well with Estrada, and another lefty stick in Yankee stadium ain't a bad thing.

[GreekFatAss]

So Kawasaki to Buffalo and Pennington activated according to the lineup card.

[ElNik2013]

EE is banged up. Martin caught yesterday afternoon after a night game on Friday. It is what it is. Team is also missing Travis and Pillar needs to come out of his funk.

[RealAccountant]

^ I'm not worried

 

We may never lose again

Don't jinx it. Yanks beat Estrada in T.O.

[HERPDERP]

That was his first start in the rotation, different circumstances imo

[o2cui2i]

he's settled in really well. only bad game he's had is the one after he threw way too many pitches in the two games in a row where he carried no hitters late.

[Trouba95]

Seattle start wasn't his finest.

[dineke]

Goins/Pennington have played in the OF.
