Pannone sighting.

Lol @ Salvador Perez swinging at a 3-0 ball up and away for a pop up.

I haven't been this excited about a soft-tossing lefty since Brad Mills.

Agreed, this guy f***s.

[Inklink]

I hate Morales so much.

[John_Havok]

I hate Morales so much.

 

Yup. Dude is just guessing when to swing. Hes flailed at more breaking balls bouncing in front of the plate than Pillar.

Can't wait till that fat f*** is gone.

Silver lining stat of SRF's outing: 12.4 SwStr%. Not bad.

I loved that interview with SRF....so was the 5th inning different from the first? No not really, I was pretty much nervous on every pitch of the game. Not your typical after I got through the first batter, it was just baseball as usual response. Nice to see the honesty! These starts he's getting now are so important to prepare him for next year.

His stuff looks good. I'm not too worried about the results of his first outing. He'll have some ups and downs.

[flafson]

At least Jansen looks good.

The one thing I didn't like about Jansen, he wears the same shirt number as JP Arencibia...

[Orgfiller]

I just went and saw that SRF had 12 swinging strikes on 97 pitches. The MLB average SwStr% is 10.6%, 10.1% for starters. For reference Royals hitters swing and miss at an 11.2 percent rate.

I've been finessed

f*** me, I hate it when the Jays play the Royals, especially in KC. Pat and Buck just can't shut the f*** up. I had to watch the game later so right now they have Sal Perez's cock planted firmly down their throats. So irritating. Can't switch to the KC crew either because they are even worse.

 

And then they are somehow able to bring up George Brett all the f***ing time, for some reason. Yes guys, you used to be bench players in KC. Literally no one gives a f***.

Quite honestly, I'm surprised Buck can even talk with that thing in there. Tabby's ability to do so, however, surprised me much less.

My bad.

[Orgfiller]

My bad.

 

I'm kidding, glad we focus on the same things lol.

Rain delay.

[sdyment]

Anybody see an estimated start time on Twitter?

[Orgfiller]

This ump is an absolute shitshow, I actually like how Jansen is receiving the ball.

[Dylan]

Haven't been able to watch a game in quite awhile.. good to see the ump in mid-season form.

[Orgfiller]

How on earth did Granderson not score there? That's awful baserunning.

[Dylan]

That's embarrassing baserunning

[gruber92]

Worst base running team in the MLB by far.

[gruber92]

This team needs an atmospheric overhaul.

[Spanky99]

This team needs an atmospheric overhaul.

 

Grandy doesn't do that often.

[Dylan]

Nice patience by Morales

[Spanky99]

Same guy, I'd agree.

[Spanky99]

Buck's boner for Perez. lol.
