GDT: Blue Jays vs. Rays (3/3) 12:37PM - Estrada (8-8 3.68 ERA) vs Cobb (0-0 4.09 ERA)

I'm starting to sense that this team has quit.

 

f*** you. The team hasn't quit. Why the f*** would they quit?? If anything when teams get to this point they try to hard. I suspect it more than likely age and injuries behind this s***.

 

EEs strike out rate sucks this year. Bautista sucks and has been injured. Donaldson slumped than we find out he is injured, maybe seriously.

 

Stroman, Sanchez, Happ, and Estrada are probably tired, all are at/near career high in innings pitched. Dickey is 41 f***ing years old.

 

Come to think of it our gomdamn set up men are 40...

[Olerud363]

You also bunt with a player if said player can't buy a hit off of anyone...not because of bad luck but because they are in a 2 month dumpster fire.

 

If the player is that bad they shouldn't be hitting second. In fact that player shouldn't of even been in there. DH Martin.

[Melvin]

And they waited until the end for the biggest joke of the day by announcing that over 41k in the building. There were less people in the building than last night and even Monday night when it was announced at just over 35K. Are they pulling these numbers out of thin air , have a very hard time believing 7-8K sold tickets would go completely unused.

 

Corporate tickets frequently go unused but are counted in total ticket sales.

This would be correct in most cases...but...we have Gibby

Oh yeah I forgot. Martin was not playing because we needed fatty to catch Estrada... last two times that worked out well.

 

f*** Personal catchers. If a pitcher needs a personal catcher to catch his s*** f*** him, don't acquire him in the first place

 

a) get a good catcher (like Russel Martin, except Russell is old so probably won't be good soon).

get a good backup

 

You have a chance to acquire cy 'f***ing' young with a trick ptich for an a-ball flame thrower... f*** that. It's a trap. f*** it!

Didn't Greg Maddux use personal catchers? lol

[gbill2004]

Wait is the poster implying that there are Jays in a homosexual relationship and that one of the Jays is EE and he didn't tell others he had std

I wouldn't rule anything out at this point man.

I get that some would be unused but in the area of 7-8K, that's hard to believe. Pass them off to a guy in the mailroom if they are floating around, I am pretty sure he would appreciate it.

The Rays owned us this year.

 

jays dropped the soap....

Most corporate people are scumbags and would rather toss the tickets in the trash than lower themselves to talk to a scrub in the mailroom.

[gbill2004]

jays dropped the soap....

And the Rays brought out their KY Jelly.

I think it was because day game after a night game.

[Olerud363]

Didn't Greg Maddux use personal catchers? lol

 

f*** you. f*** everybody. Not picking on you.

 

I chose 1995 cuz that was peak of Maddux career... just to see if he used Personal catcher.

 

Charlie O'Brien was the back up catcher and had .343 on base... so I assume he would of been Maddux personal catcher.

 

Maddux had ERA of 1.63. O'Brien had on base of .343

 

There are exceptions to every rule

 

Exceptio: Personal catchers are fine if pitcher has ERA under 2.00 and catcher has on base percentage over .340..

[Olerud363]

I know. We need a backup catcher. However instead of Thole/Navarro maybe good backup catcher. I guess to fair Navarro might be good as backup catchers go.

[Brownie19]

Couple grand slams and we got this.

 

That's what the guy beside me said as he was leaving

[Olerud363]

Didn't Greg Maddux use personal catchers? lol

 

Yes, atleast in 1995 that f***er, Greg Maddux had a personal catcher, it looked like early on Javy Lopez caught him, then after May it was mostly Charlie O'Brien.

 

OK, I change my position. Personal catchers for everybody. Now that we have three GMs (Shapiro, Atkins, and Cherington) we have the front office geniuses needed to pull off the roster magic needed to carry all those catchers.

at this point I'd take an ERA under 4.00 and OBP over .290

Kershaw was using a personal catcher up until he got traded a couple weeks ago.

[Spanky99]

Did Saunders just intentionally sacrifice a runner from 2nd to 3rd?

 

lol... and all these people rejoice... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Spanky99]

It's ok, I know the truth.

 

We all do.

[Brownie19]

Damn I feel bad for you.

 

It's sad when the highlight of the game for me was watching this fairly attractive coug in her late 30's with a pile of side tattoos sit there in her white sports bra for the second half of the game.....thong/panties hanging out of her jeans when she stood up. Complete trash, but yet the most entertaining part of the day for me. Section 118, row 20.

[West Texas Forever]

Too bad Boston won but Jays got this.

[West Texas Forever]

Colby's hick bro!
