General Jays Discussion 2015

[bones10]

Can we talk about defined roles in a bullpen?

 

Is this not pretty dumb and ancient thinking by now? Three lefties were coming up in the 8th inning Cecil should have been used no doubt in my mind but because Sanchez is the 'Setup' guy he always gets the 8th?

nsfw here is the naked Jays fan who ripped out the urinal:

What a f***ing tool. This picture probably makes Gibbers cringe because what we have is quite obviously a casual fan.

 

Can't fix stoopid.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but this is a very interesting article on Marco Estrada's vertical movement leading all of baseball on his pitches. Not sure if this has merit with regards to his ridiculously low babip, but interesting none the less.

Not sure if this is anything really new. Estrada was known to have an elite change. Is it really better this year? That's less than certain. If we're going to attribute Estrada's babip suppression to the movement on his fastball and changeup than they have to be compared against previous seasons when he wasn't able to suppress babip to see if there's an improvement. Furthermore, you'd have to look at the general relationship between vertical movement and babip to see if that's even a thing. This article raises more questions than it answers but they are good question worth investigating. Someone like North could do a good follow-up on this.

Of course, those urinals (and the toilets) are expected to be replaced this offseason with automatic fixtures.. they already have them in the 100 level. Still, what an idiot! It's obvious that fan was drunk.

Hopefully the only thing Sanchez will now be setting up.for us is a Chapman deal

Great article on Donaldson cockiness

Rogers is planning for some big time spending this off-season so they have to ask for free labour. You don't know how angry I got when I saw this. This is so much different than some struggling sports org asking for volunteers.

 

Hi Students,

 

I hope you have enjoyed the summer!

 

The fall is quite busy for us here at Rogers with events and we’d love to have some awesome Humber students on site with us.

 

I am inviting you as a Humber College Sport Management or Recreation and Leisure student to be a part of Roger’s volunteer database.

 

Please answer the questions below and e-mail them back to me at:

 

 

1. Phone number:

 

2. Do you have any specific areas of interest for volunteering (ie. Marketing or sports…)**this field is optional**:

 

3. Are you currently employed or a student?:

 

4. If employed, where do you work?:

 

5. Which city do you currently live in:

 

 

Thanks!

Corporations are so shameless when it comes to exploiting grovelling students. A lot of them will feel pressured to do this lest other students get the c.v. edge on them.

when you applied for a position withe the Jays and were denied you must have asked for compensation...they are looking for free labour...lol

[Mikeleelop]

who has the higher OPS this year? Goins or Pillar

 

Goins - .669 Pillar -.663

 

Pillar is a good defensive CF, but his offence is not good in anyway

[Mikeleelop]

I point this out more to say how s*** Pillar is, not to prop up Goins

[Joe Shades]

What is the outfield next year assuming saunders is healthy, Revere in Center ?. I have seen enough of him in center up close to know he is not good enough there

[eastcoastjaysfan]

You're aware that Pillar has been playing all-world defence out there, right?

[KingKat]

That's a hell of an assumption at this point.

[jays_fever]

Kevin Pillar is an above average CF making peanuts and under control for the foreseeable future. He's not going anywhere, nor do I want him to.

 

If we get Adam Jones then sure, trade him

[Mikeleelop]

You're aware that Pillar has been playing all-world defence out there, right?

 

he has been very good out there, Kevin Keirmeyer has been all-world

I want Kevin Pillar to bat no higher than 8th.

with the quality of his at bats and with Tulo and D Travis back in the lineup next year, he bats 9th guaranteed

 

heck, he bats 9th behind Goins this year when Tulo comes back (fingers crossed)

He's 8th in today's lineup so HerpDerp should be happy.

Unless Pompey forces their hand in spring training or the early part of the season.

[nextyear]

Kawasaki getting the start probably means that they don't expect Tulowitzki back for the first playoff round.

 

[nextyear]

This is some good news:

 

[Governator]

You know it's really a shame Pompey hasn't been starting the odd game to give Pillar some needed rest. He was hitting pretty good midseason and he's been given a heavy workload for a rookie. I don't know if he's burning out but Pompey shouldn't be treated like chopped liver, he can fill in for him just fine and sure as hell can't hit much worse than Pillar has of late.

Gibbons hates black people

[jaysfan2014]

Kawasaki is getting the start at 2B because Pennington may have the yips or something.. he's really off right now.

 

Also announced, Aaron Sanchez has been demoted out of the 8th inning:

haha, yips .

 

I am pretty sure they are tuning Kawasaki up for the playoffs since Tulowitzki probably won't be ready for the first round.

Exactly. It means gibbons doesn't trust Pennington at 2b

[HERPDERP]

I still prefer Pennington over all others, but we can't afford f*** ups like yesterday.

[43211234]

Ugh, can't stand Navarro.

 

Surely Martin can play back to back in such an important series.
