[Jonn]

The wind was really blowing that one around in RF

[Brownie19]

Holy f***. Buck talking about how Trout should hit .350 like Mantle.

 

Trout - career .306 hitter

Mantle - career .298 hitter

 

Quit your job sir.

Imagine if Mickey Mantle took care of himself like Trout! He would have hit .450!

[Governator]

Man Bautista with a real arm is a difference maker imo. He looks so much better out there.

Except for that last fly ball where he looked completely lost. Almost misplayed it.

[West Texas Forever]

Alright score some runs now, Happ got out of that jam.

[Spanky99]

Nice Happ.

[BillBucknorslegs]

Same. This entire forum gets deep DR info from Ang... he knows plenty of ball players. He know's Cano his batting coach, that helped EE, etc, etc... hell I even found an old pic Ang made, but I lost the bookmark, he's standing with Cano. I'll believe him.

 

Makes sense. As I say, that was the rumour that was passed on to me - EE took guaranteed money with Cleveland vs heavily clause laden contract with us. Maybe Ang can make inquiries?

He's likely thinking Ted Williams.

[Governator]

It moved on him? He caught it big deal. At least he can hold runners again.

[Spanky99]

Makes sense. As I say, that was the rumour that was passed on to me - EE took guaranteed money with Cleveland vs heavily clause dependent contract with us. Maybe Ang can make inquiries?

 

likely... I edited my post above, lol. He inquires himself when who the f*** knows?

 

He might come by tonight, or is here, lol.

 

Nah, he isn't here right now.

[Spanky99]

There BP is decent, but not very deep at all.

[Spanky99]

Nice Pearce!

[HERPDERP]

so much for Pillar not going after s*** pitches

[Governator]

Nice Pearce!

 

Yeah good ab

[HERPDERP]

he should've thrown to second

[Spanky99]

Yoenis you beautiful Cuban... he's boss.

[Spanky99]

Basehit Goins... scores him.

[Jonn]

Wow the Brewers second baseman had Pearce easily. Doesn't matter though Goins is up.

[BillBucknorslegs]

Nah, he isn't here right now.

 

Pity. The impression I got when I spoke with the person I know was that this was a sort of 'not really an offer' offer that the Jays felt they had to make given that the offseason was almost over. It was pulled after 24 hours apparently and had so many clauses it was pretty much not worth the paper it was printed on.

 

As you say EE may well have thus felt insulted and taken a much better offer from Cleveland as a result.

[Spanky99]

Yeah good ab

 

Every AB it seems, bro. Love this guy.

[el duque]

Like Martin, Goins is looking for his first hit, here is a good time

[Jonn]

That was way longer than 30 seconds

[HERPDERP]

safe, at worst, inconclusive

[EdwinsParrot]

That's close..

Or Jays offered more, with said stipulations. We'll never know.

[Jonn]

Hes out.

[Stangstag]

I think he's out

[Spanky99]

He looked out, but it's too hard.

[jaysguy44]

Safe
