GDT: Cincinnati Reds @ Toronto Blue Jays (3/3)- 12:37 PM

If Travis made that same mistake you'd be calling for his move out of the position for the next 4-6 weeks.

 

Maybe, but there's been a lot of ammo to back that up in creating that sort of comment. Not saying it's right though..

[Governator]

How many wins have come off the back of Goins' defence? I'll bet you more than his defence has cost us games.

 

Of course, he's only here because of his glove.

Goins filled in admirably for Tulowitzki and the Blue Jays gained ground during that time.

[Spanky99]

Including a walk vs a very tough LHP to set up the game winning HR from Travis.

 

He has been a huge part in keeping the team in contention with all the injuries. Goins turns that DP 99% of the time but it came at a bad time so the knee jerkers come out in full force.

 

Haters will be hating..

 

lulz

LMFAO

Well that's an MLB prerequisite, when your bat is as deadly as a fart in the wind. It was a brutal error that nearly lost us a game. Give your head a shake, Gruber. It was really bad.

For someone who always boasts about watching baseball for years, you sure do sound like a typical casual moron.

[Maahfaace]

Gruber, you're the best!

"Admirably"

 

LMFAO

 

Is that word above your comprehension level? Sorry if it left you dumbfounded

[gruber92]

We're one game under 500 dickwads, and gaining ground fast!

[Spanky99]

Wat? Any player in that situation would get rimmed, lol... even that kid at 2nd whom hit the game winning 2 run jack.

[Atothe]

Gruber will protect Goins to his grave

[Captain Adama]

Is that word above your comprehensive level? Sorry if it left you dumbfounded

 

Sorry nextyear, I can't help but cower in the face of your virtuoso intellect. Like when you said Donaldson should hit 6th? Brilliant!

Well, we can answer this. He's at -0.1 fWAR and -0.03 WPA. So to the best of our knowledge, he's been worth zero wins.

[gruber92]

C'mon though seriously.. When was the last time Goins made a critical error like that?

[Maahfaace]

Well, we can answer this. He's at -0.1 fWAR and -0.03 WPA. So to the best of our knowledge, he's been worth zero wins.

 

but but but but dem RBI's!

[gruber92]

Well, we can answer this. He's at -0.1 fWAR and -0.03 WPA. So to the ebst of our knowledge, he's been worth zero wins.

 

Defensive metrics are weak. Just ask Spanky.

I agree he doesn't make many mistakes but he's overrated defensively

[Deadpool]

He did qualify it to only include D... Crafty phrasing!

[Sammy225]

I am sorry to all the Goins fans out there but 3 days ago i told a person he was nothing more then a modern day Johnny Mac and they lost it. In 3 years his total WAR is .4 i believe and people still think that he is an absolute gift. He a good day at the plate but when you are more or less a glove only player and you boot a ball that should be routine your going to get criticized for it.

[gruber92]

but but but but dem RBI's!

 

He has been really good this year with RISP.

[Spanky99]

Defensive metrics are weak. Just ask Spanky.

 

I'm not a true believer in defensive metrics, you're right. I don't see what that matters, here? They're the best we can quantify what a player is in that context, though. Yer dumn.

Well I mean, if we're going that route...

[Jayday]

f*** this game.

 

you are an eloquent poster.

[HERPDERP]

I don't see how any team would be willing to give Goins a starting job.

[Dick_Pole]

Are they trying to throw this f***ing game?

 

Gibbons having a bout of Pete Rose syndrome and betting on the Reds?

 

Why would you put your worst possible line-up out there on the day you have your worst pitcher on the mound? If you're going to give Donaldson, Tulowitzki and Pillar a rest at least do it when Stroman is on the mound and you have a chance to win the game with 4 runs or less.

 

Pillar just had a potty-mouthed rest and Donaldson and Tulo played half the game on Monday. How much rest do these guys need.

 

I am very glad that they took this game and I have been shown to be wrong. Now the team has rested players for the Yankees.

My post:thanks ratio is pretty strong, so I think so.

 

Plus, my reverse jinx worked yesterday so I figured I'd try it today, and whaddya-know?
