GDT: Indians @ Blue Jays (1 of 3) - 7:07PM EST

[Brownie19]

In the midst of this awful start - I am enjoying the production Smoak and Goins have provided so far - in spite of all the s*** we pile on them.

[Terminator]

That's why Smoak was really smart there. Give them a surer out, take one for the team.

 

Yeah it's a way to hedge your bets so to speak. Guaranteed run or guy on second, make them pick.

[Yippy]

Where there's Smoak there's fire

You saw him take a glance at Morales as he rounded 1st and then went for 2nd; really smart baserunning

[KingKat]

Any one else notice how they Sanchez look short in the WestJet commercials? He's the tallest pitcher on the team and they make him look short by having him come up to the shoulders of the extras. Odd.

[Terminator]

You guys remember last time Stroman had a 4 run lead?

[Omar]

Lindor = hitting scientist

[Boxcar]

Damn Pearce has been so unlucky. Another nice swing.

 

While Smoak is a hero for a s***** broken bat blooper.

[Brownie19]

So Smoak's BB% has plumetted this year. New approach or SSS?

[Jonn]

Me when Edwin came up

I don't think anyone is blaming Steve there. And considering Smoak's track record, just making contact there is a minor victory.

[JaysAllMighty]

Me when Edwin came up

 

 

It was HIS decision not to sign and test the market. He is the enemy now.

[Jonn]

I don't even care if we win. Bauer looking salty as f*** is all I needed.

[Effit]

Edwin is going to kill us.

[Orgfiller]

Nice turn from the middle infield boys

[Boxcar]

No, no one will blame him but all these instances of unlucky positioning will contribute to us enjoying more and more Ezequiel Carrera

[Brownie19]

Lindor = hitting scientist

 

I absolutely love Lindor. He's phenomenal. If he improved his baserunning he could put up some 8-9 WAR seasons

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

I don't even care if we win. Bauer looking salty as f*** is all I needed.

 

Bauer f***in stinks. Uglier than Rougned

[Daniel Labude]

They changed their game plan vs the Indians or Stroman s rapped the 2 seam tonight...almost all cutters and sliders...very few 2 seam fastballs

[gruber92]

Was having dinner but was still watching from the kitchen and i have to say Smoak stole us run with some excellent base running.

[Pendleton]

Didn't realize Stro was directing commercials in his spare time.

[Effit]

I don't even care if we win. Bauer looking salty as f*** is all I needed.

 

Doesn't he always look that way? A face only a mother could love..maybe.

[Boxcar]

Does Pat really need to be there when Dan is doing PBP?

[gruber92]

WTF is Francona looking at?

[Orgfiller]

Does Pat really need to be there when Dan is doing PBP?

 

It's unfortunate that he is there.

And not totally 'selfless' as he gets 2 RBI on the play instead of 1 if the runner is cut down at the plate. As far as it being a lucky bloop single, well he was at .284 BABIP on the season going in so maybe due for a lucky one. Pearce is only .250 and Travis is just dreadful at .179.

 

What's a typical league average BABIP ?

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

lololololol Saunders/Colabello/Bautista caliber play.

[Orgfiller]

Lmao, Maile drilled that to be fair.

Around .300, but for hitters it's​ tied a lot to their batted ball profile.

[EdwinsParrot]

He's lucky the ball didnt bounce further
