against s***** competition.

 

Having a bad grip on the ball would have more to do with walking guys than who was standing in the batter's box.

I don't really think his walk rate can be wholly attributed to good PD. He lets a ton of hittable pitches whizz by.

 

I agree with that, at least from what I see happening. He seems to be missing, taking or fouling off a lot of pitches that look hittable. Then he chases crap more than I expect. Enigma at this point.

a walk is a walk, the s***** competition couldn't get a hit off him either.

Remember that one time, that no hitter, so much promise.

Now I know the main reason the Canadians love the hockey game.

Shapiro on Brooks' resignation: "It was the result of probably a mutual agreement that there was some disconnect on alignment."

a mutual agreement that there was some disconnect on alignment

 

That's a really wordy way of saying disagreement.

Shapiro to Brooks "you're fired in mutual agreement"

 

Brooks to Shapiro "I'm not agree"

 

Shapiro to Brooks "Yes, you are"

 

Shapito "Next Jays employee, please"

 

Shapito to NON-Guy "You're fired too"

 

NON-Guy to Shapito "Why boss?"

 

Shapito to NON-Guy "Because I'm the man in charge here and I want my own people"

 

Shapiro to Atkins "Ron, close the door and touch my dick"

Miller replacing Brooks is good for the Blue Jays long term as he seems like a really smart guy. The Spring Training project seems to be a thing he will be working on a lot.

 

As a STH I'm a little scared though. The pricing likely gets changed in a bad way for consumers.

Yep. Ticket prices will most certainly rise now that Brooks is out.

Would like to see Donaldson hitting behind Bautista,and Tulo hitting ninth.

Shapiro on Brooks-Twitter

 

Was just gonna post that, Shapiro doesn't seem to have cared for Brooks' interaction with the fans. He seems pretty anal when it comes to enforcing the corporate hierarchical structure.

[burlingtonbandit]

He probably just wants the Vice President of Business Ops. to be focusing on more important decisions and leaving those duties to someone lower down in the chain of command. I don't have a problem with what he said and actually agree with it.

 

You can let someone else in the org. answer all of those questions on Twitter, its not like you need one of the top guys in the org. spending so much time on general fan questions.

f*** this guy, seriously

Too many walks and high pitch counts for Hutch even in AAA

 

And so streaky. Almost Romero-esque

It would be understandable to see a guy struggling because of an injury that caused a drop in velocity, but it boggles the mind to see these good young pitchers suddenly lose their command like that. I'm sure it's a bit of a cyclical issue, with lack of command leading to lost confidence causing more command issues.

 

In the case of Romero I do think he was pitching above his head before he fell off, but I really thought Hutch was becoming a solid, mid-rotation arm.

I saw that, in all honesty though a person going to their first ball game probably would have no idea. She's not searching how many innings but in general how long a game lasts. My wife still asks me that question when I put the game on.
