GDT: Oakland Athletics (14-14) @ Toronto Blue Jays (12-14) - 2/3

[Orgfiller]

Vladdy goes opposite field like it's nobody's business. 104 mph EV.

[glory]

"Play for one run and you get more." WHAT?

[Spanky99]

Woohoo... Go Jays Go!!!

[Deadpool]

Dammit, right at him. Someone get me the exit velo on that, 'cause I'm not sure where to find that myself, and you guys will be faster than Google.

[baubau]

Vlad has had bad luck so far.

 

He should start bunting.

Haha, before I'd even hit post

[TheHurl]

Lol, c'mon man

 

you know that is the real reason there is a rule now. Utley was the scapegoat but it happened just after the NFL was successfully sued. The two positions which are most prone to concussions are 2B and Catcher

Where do you get that info so quickly?

[John_Havok]

"You play for one run you get more"

 

That's exactly wrong, Buck. EXACTLY.

 

I honestly don't know what's worse, the idiotic bunts.... or the fact that Buck drools over them like they're godly baseball skills.

[Grant77]

Runners on the corners has a run expectancy of 1.784, while a run in with a guy on second is 1.664

 

With a weak hitter like Sogard, that might even be a bit closer. I don't hate it.

[DigitalRock]

I know it's early...but this team is looking a lot better then many expected so far? Good signs at least.

[TheHurl]

This bunting is egregious and Atkins has to put an end to it.

 

it's being encouraged

[dineke]

Did this not come up in the hiring process?

 

I think they just wanted a guy to connect with latin guys. If they wanted a strategic manager there was no reason to let go of gibby

[LGBJ29]

If you can get the bunt down there then I don't mind it from a hitter like Sogard.

 

same actually. From hitters like Sogard and Hanson I don't mind the bunt. The expected runs changes in these situations depending on the quality of hitter sacrificing himself

[LGBJ29]

Arizona and Texas switching from grass to turf? I didn't know this

[DigitalRock]

Arizona and Texas switching from grass to turf? I didn't know this

 

Really? Is the synthetic stuff better now?

[gruber92]

Really? Is the synthetic stuff better now?

 

We need to get some of this then..

[dineke]

Save money probably

At the very top there's a live game feed that updates pretty much on contact.

I'm starting to think so too. Shapiro hired Eric Wedge to manage the Indians. Now Atkins hires Montoyo. These guys for whatever reason seem to like the non sabermetric types.

Sanchez is pitching like dog s*** and getting stupid lucky right now.

For real.

[DigitalRock]

Drury starting to hit.

[bones10]

why cant we play the A's for 162

[gruber92]

Drury has some nice oppo power..

[Plat]

Drury keep it up

[Orgfiller]

Drury loves facing the Oakland A's. Another deep CF/RF-CF shot.

[Spanky99]

Drury's been hitting well for days now, saw this coming.
