8/17 Blue Jays @ Yankees - Series Thread

[Ray]

Jansen is giving off some legitimate vibes. He doesn't look like a 23 year old rookie catcher making his debut.

 

Lol @ Gardner

 

Not at the plate, but maybe behind the plate

Really? I think he looks very solid defensively, maybe a couple of issues while making a quick transfer on his throws but his arm is good and that should improve.

I like his framing. I don't like how he moves his glove while the pitcher is in their delivery. I'm not sure about some of the pitches he's calling either. He looks really good at the plate. All of the issues are things that should be fairly easy to work on.

I also wanted to say, what a great job today by Biagini.

[Orgfiller]

What the f*** are you doing Pillar? Gibby is irate, and I think he has every reason to be.

[5ToolPhenom]

Haha yes Gibby!

 

Pillar just trying to pad stats.

[DigitalRock]

Wow Pillar is such a dumb player..good lord, I'm glad Gibby ripped into him.

[Orgfiller]

McKinney looks like he has a pulse out there in the OF at least. He's no Teoscar.

As per Alannah Boyle - Pillars play was not selfish.

No one notable I just stumbled across it looking for video of Gibby ripping into Kevin P

I couldn't watch the game - cliffs on Pillar's latest idiotic stunt?

Down a bunch of runs, Pillar at second with 2 outs. Tries to steal, gets thrown out, ends the inning. Gibby yelling at him across the dugout.

Out by a mile too, it's not like he got some massive running start and was gonna end up at third standing.

[Tekkie]

Gibby shouldn't yell at Pillar too much.....He's made way more bone head moves as a manager over the years than Pillar has as a player!

Given that he has far more opportunities to make bonehead moves, do you not think this would be true for any manager with any player?

Seixero really went off about the Jays "selfish" culture, sounded on the verge of tears at one point.

I love her argument that the Jays have the "highest stat for men left on base".

As of today Texas has the most LOBs. Often the team with the highest on base percentage has the most LOBs. Though Boston only has the third most (they must be clutch).

 

Toronto is actually third last in LOBs but only 5th last in on base percentage. That seems good to me. Toronto does not seem to have the highest stat in LOBs (or MLOB if that is the proper acronym).

 

I don't even think if you normalized it as a percentage of guys on base (PMLOBs) they would have the worst.

 

I really don't want to waste my time calculating MLOB/(hits + walks + hbp). However maybe someone can invite her to the board and she can crunch the numbers to either prove or disprove her hypothesis (or maybe just find the number somewhere).

I don't think you got my comment though. Whether he's on 2nd or 3rd he's still "on base". He had a 3.5% better chance of scoring (and his run still leaves them down 3). You've got to be really close to 100% on that steal for it to have positive value
