We got a mulligan. Can't f*** up and lose to the Angels again. Need Happ to right the ship.

I guess you were one of the guys that didn't watch last nights game.!!!!!!!!

Are you able to wrap your head around the concept of sample size? One game doesn't mean jack s***.

 

Also if you want to be taken seriously at all in a baseball forum, should probably take the time to learn simple baseball terminology. "SB" does not stand for second base.

[UWHabs]

After Altuve, Travis is arguably the next best 2nd baseman in the game right now.

2b or not 2b that is the question.

At least Barney did not cause the loss of a game they could have won.

But everyone here has their heads up their ass that is why they cannot see Travis poor play in field.

Your humble opinion just happens to be wrong. Small sample size and all, but Travis has been worth 10 UZR/150 at 2B this year, Barney has been worth 2.6/150 this year. Of players with at least 500+ innings at 2B, Travis currently ranks 3rd in UZR/150.

 

Career, Barney is 11.7, so admittedly he's probably a better defensive player than Travis. But Barney is a well below average hitter, while Travis is a well above average hitter.

I just wanna say Aaron Loup looked really great yesterday. If he pitches like this and used properly I think he's gonna be a huge key for this team. Obv it is very small sample size buuut he had a couple more mph on his pitches and looked like he had great control. In his last AAA stint he also had 13ks to 1 walk in 8.2 innings and serving a .333 BAA on a .522 BABIP. Maybe I'm looking way too much into this but man we really need a lefty and if he can turn the corner..

Loup isn't bad at all. In 218 IP he has a 3.38 xFIP. He's not even a complete LOOGY as his metrics vs righties aren't bad either.

He's gonna be back up here september (i assume he's going down for either Bautista or Sanchez), I hope he can prove to stay on the postseason roster

I wish they'd keep him full-time. He's every bit as deserving to pitch late innings as Benoit is.

Your sentence construction is poor it should have read ....he's a much better defensive player than Travis....

It's not about one night. Who is going to help this team more over the course of a full season? It's Travis by a mile.

[fatcowxlive]

Lineup's out:

 

Bautista

Donaldson

Edwin

Martin

Tulo

Pillar

Upton

Carerra

Barney

 

Goins optioned, loup stays up! Travis out for 3rd straight game tho

[LGBJ29]

Damn, Travis's knuckle taking a bit longer than they thought. Hopefully it doesn't become a lingering issue like Edwin's finger last year.

Had a splint on his hand the last game he played, I'd rather he rest up and get healthy before September and the potential playoffs myself. Though I do take it as a good sign that Goins was option and Travis wasn't DLd or Loup not optioned which means he's likely healthy enough to play in a pinch.

A f***ing knuckle?!? Rub some dirt on it and get over it!

Meh, it can make a difference when gripping a bat, and its also on his throwing hand. We're going to need him down the stretch, there's no point in making the injury worse. Better to just let it fully heal.

[fatcowxlive]

He only took a cortisone shot so all that does is provide relief not heal anything, it will probably linger, but almost everyone on the team is playing with something hurt. I don't know how JD's ankles and thumb are still functioning

 

And now that I think about it he might have been ready to play today (Goins was optioned so one less backup IFer if something goes wrong) but because we have Bautista back we can afford to keep Travis on the bench for one more game

Zeke is in for Saunders as well. Lame.

Maybe Edwin should tell him to never go fist deep.

[fatcowxlive]

Saunders is probably just getting rested. Not exactly ripping the ball right now anyways might as well have someone who can handle the bat with speed down in the order

Hes coming off a homerun on Tuesday. And 2 hits last night. I would like to think that's the start of something.

You're probably right, I just don't like his makeup at all. He looks like he's going to get hurt on every swing or everytime he's tracking a ball. I hope he finishes strong and i never see him in a Jays jersey again lol

[baseballsss]

Did Bautista play in some rehab games?

[HERPDERP]

RIP Travis

 

is it too early to give him the fragile tag?
