GDT Rangers at Jays Game 2/3

[Candy Maldonado]

damn that looked bad

[Spanky99]

Seems okay.

[Orgfiller]

Bo has made some very pretty plays the last couple of days.

[Spanky99]

Lets go Birds, put up a crooked number.

[wk680]

If we finish out the season with 30 wins and 8 losses we will finish at .500

 

Yeah that's obviously going to be a stretch. BUT, the Jays are 21W and 20L since the mid-way point (at which they were 29W - 52L). If they go .500 for the remaining 40 games, that would be 41W - 40L for the 2nd half, which is pretty good, considering they gutted the pitching staff at the trade deadline. And people, save the 'Sanchez was no good anyway' responses.

[Daniel Labude]

Great hit, hustle, and slide from Vlad

[wk680]

Well done Font!!!

 

He has the stuff to become a successfull MLB pitcher

 

In case people haven't noticed: Font now has opened 4 games with 8 1/3 ip and zero runs allowed over those appearances. That's a nice little run, but the guy was not very good in 29 prior appearances this season (5.09 ERA).

Vlad is a very 'awkward looking' in his running, but he does always seem to be hustling, so I appreciate watching him run the bases.

Rougned Odor suxxxxxxxxxx

Numbers are good, has a HR problem. Spotty command, too many in the middle of the zone.

 

Also, ERA is for know nothings.

Yeah that HR/9 is pretty ugly

[Orgfiller]

Calhoun's positioning is so awkward. For a short, kinda fat guy he plays super shallow and never seems comfortable going back on the ball.

[Orgfiller]

Teoscar continues his surge. He made that high fastball above the zone look like it was a meatball.

[DigitalRock]

TEO made that HR look easy... Dude has power.

[jaysguy44]

Wow

[Orgfiller]

Attaboy Billy! Lol @ Teoscar hurrying back to fetch the seeds.

[DigitalRock]

I'm really liking this team... Please get some pitching Shatkins.

ERA is not useless, it just only tells part of the story. You have been around long (and I emphasize the word long) enough to know that Jimbobby

[DigitalRock]

Ump f***s Biggioagain.

Useless, far better parameters available these days.

It's about as useless as tits on a bull.

[Spanky99]

Nice play McKinney, have a game.

[Orgfiller]

Eat s*** Odor.

Starting pitching is usually the hardest part of a rebuild.

Relievers you can pick up anywhere but quality starters are much harder to find.

 

Rogers might have to start spending some money on FA's

Or, when the time is right, trade prospects for pitching, like 'stros for Verlander/Cole

 

Having salary flexibility opens a lot of possibilities

[Spanky99]

Yuck...

[Orgfiller]

LOL Odor.

[Ex Player]

They were saying on the radio that Giles is ready to go

[Captain Adama]

Bautista has accumulated more WAR in his 2011 season than Odor has in his entire career.

[Jimcanuck]

Were the meetings with the training staff about Giles?
