[CBlake]

Early game today?

 

Only one early weekday game left at home this season, Wednesday September 14 vs. Tampa. 12:37 first pitch.

[G-Snarls]

Early game today?

 

Just an early GDT

[BigCecil]

Estrada has been struggling a bit lately for him. Lets hope he finds his command tonight and can get deep into the game.

 

RA actually gave us a big outing last night. He owns poor Albert for some reason. If not for a Tulo E, scored a hit, it would have been excellent.

Barney is leading off again despite a RHP being on the mound. I guess the alternative might be Carerra so f***.

Need Bautista back

[G-Snarls]

How long is Travis expected to miss??

Day to Day right now...

[G-Snarls]

Been waiting for hours for this one to start... Damn early GDT's...

[Daniel Labude]

Was suppose to be back today

We use to have an unwritten rule that the GDT could not be posted until both lineup's were posted. Those were good times. Now we get them 9 hours before the game starts or 5 minutes after it starts.

[Jonn]

They always say that. May as well give him a few extra days. We shouldn't need him against the Angels. Gibbons just needs to readjust his lineup. Donaldson, Encarnacion, Martin, Tulo, ect, ect. Would look fine right now.

[gruber92]

Batting Barney lead off again vs a RHP is crazy, just bat Barney last and move everybody up a spot.

 

So Barney may be the batter in a high leverage situation late in the game with the game on the line versus Donaldson?

 

Gibby is one f***ed up hick.

Unwritten rules aren't worth the paper they are written on.

It doesn't change s*** after the first pitch. I do agree Barney shouldn't be seeing that first pitch though.

[Melvin]

Jays are gonna winnnnnnnnnn

I'm assuming you agree with the unwritten rules of baseball as well then?

bottom of the 9th jays are down by 1 with 2 outs. Who do you want up - Darwin Barney? or one of the 13 players on the jays who have a higher wRC+ than him in the 2nd half (this list includes Aaron Sanchez) (11 players not including travis and bautista who are hurt)

I fail to see how the lineup is irrelevant.

What? So if the lead off spot happens to be the last AB of the game with the game on the line, what then?

What if the it's the ninth spot that comes up...

 

who cares

[intentional wok]

Zeke was the unimpeachable lead-off guy while Jose was out in June. Now? 9th. There's literally no logic to Gibby's decisions with the lead-off spot, except seemingly how many cumulative ABs he can give to bench bats over JD, Troy, Edwin, and other vastly better hitters.
