Holy s***! 12 k's for Estrada?

 

Joint career high for him

[Daniel Labude]

Showalter thinks that was intentional on machado lol?

 

He just looked like an idiot coming out of the dugout lol

[wk680]

I believe in Smith of course, but please don't ruin this for Estrada.

 

So far so good, but 3 big outs to go. Would be nice to put a couple more runs up here.

[bronson44]

jeez, we can't touch this Asher guy and they got him for nothing

[Jonn]

Asher has never got swing and miss until he faced the Blue Jays.

[Yippy]

He just looked like an idiot coming out of the dugout lol

Especially when he glared back at the pitcher. According to Showalter every time one of his players gets hit its intentional . But when Baltimore pitchers hit a batter its not

[bronson44]

f***

never easy

[Orgfiller]

Nasty movement on those pitches.

[Yippy]

I thought travis was going to throw that over smoaks head

[Jonn]

Come on Osuna need schwing and miss

[Orgfiller]

Wasn't going to get him anyways, but that's some nice range shown. That's why you shouldn't judge Travis' defense on a few bobbles here and there.

[THANOS]

So is Luke Maile the best game caller we've had?

[Governator]

Estrada, more like that please! Travis, we never doubted you!

Thank you marco.

[bronson44]

Good win. Could have swept this series

[Daniel Labude]

Blue Jays Win!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Osuna Matata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Orgfiller]

So is Luke Maile the best game caller we've had?

 

That's pretty hard to say. All I can say is Maile is outstanding behind the plate, it sucks that he's horrible offensively but with his defense and framing he might just be replacement level at least.

[Pendleton]

Don't worry......Grille or Osuna will bloe this game.

 

Well did ya learn anything?

[bronson44]

Well did ya learn anything?

 

I hope it was how to spell at the very least

[THANOS]

That's pretty hard to say. All I can say is Maile is outstanding behind the plate, it sucks that he's horrible offensively but with his defense and framing he might just be replacement level at least.

 

Very true. All I can say is, personally, I'll take his s***** offense if he's extracting double digit K performances from guys like Stro and Estrada. I've never seen Stro look this good in his entire MLB stint.

[Omar]

Lets enjoy the win........

 

[nextyear]

It is good to see the win, but disappointing because I think they could have taken 2 out of 3 with better managing by Gibbons (poor suicide squeeze call) and better pitching in the first 2 games.

 

I give Gibbons credit for today's game by putting Martin at 3rd base; maybe Gibbons can continue to find ways to get Martin in games without wearing him out behind the plate. Maile certainly is no ball of fire at the plate, but he is good defensively and can only get better at hitting (it is hard to imagine him getting worse).

[Angrioter]

Maile is our Goins 2014 or Barney Cubs year.

[nextyear]

I think Maile is at least as good as Martin behind the plate; he seems to call a good game.

[Gary]

Maile is a stud behind the plate. Batting not so much...

[Gary]

What could we expect Maile's WAR to be this season?

[Bobthe4th]

What could we expect Maile's WAR to be this season?

 

WAR doesn't really accurately reflect a catcher's abilities behind the plate and Maile is already at -0.5 (almost as bad as Salty's -0.6) because he can't hit.
