GD

He's not really a young guy anymore, JPA

A.) Nice avatar B.) Didn't we have like 5 walkoff dingers in 2011?

With Fatcow's permission (on slightly short notice )... http://i.imgur.com/aP8QBxL.png Series so far: May 23, 2013 (Game 1/4): Jays 12-6 O's May 24, 2013 (Game 2/4): Jays 6-10 O's May 25, 2013 (Game 3/4): Jays 5- O's http://i.imgur.com/vaVmXyj.jpg Pitching Matchup: http://i.imgur.com/ttas5zP.jpg Lineups: http://i.imgur.com/gA4H2XI.jpg Jays Batting: http://i.imgur.com/3y0Aqoz.jpg Jays Pitching: http://i.imgur.com/CDXhpG6.jpg Orioles Batting: http://i.imgur.com/okWhj2J.jpg Orioles Pitching: http://i.imgur.com/g3DzOPo.jpg Blue Jays ZiPS (RoS) Projections: http://i.imgur.com/wkXWYJY.jpg Orioles ZiPS (RoS) Projections: http://i.imgur.com/bNxSDJD.jpg Notes: Orioles:: Jenkins faced Baltimore once last season in his rookie campaign. He pitched 3 1/3 innings out of the bullpen on August 25, when he surrendered four earned runs on six hits with two walks and a strikeout. Nick Markakis is currently riding a 10 game hitting streak after singling last night. O's 1B Chris Davis had another extra-base hit last night, lining an RBI double down the right-field line in the first inning. Davis leads with the Orioles with a .718 slugging percentage, the highest total for any batter that qualifies for the batting title. Jays: Toronto's offense has averaged 5.67 runs per game through the first three games of the series, and Jose Bautista and Adam Lind are on a tear. Each player has a batting average higher than .300 and an on-base-plus-slugging percentage higher than 1.000 in May. Josh Johnson started yesterday in the 2nd of his 3 rehab starts necessary. Standings: http://i.imgur.com/pi4Wp7U.jpg The game will be played at Rogers Centre. Hope you guys liked the GDT, sorry for it not being out too early! If you have any suggests, let's hear 'em! GO BLUE JAYS!

And now we're probably going to lose Dallas Eakins, who should have been coach rather than Carlyle. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I think John Buck may actually be worse than JPA

EE chicken wing time

Why we haven't stretched Lincoln out is beyond me

Didn't his face get abused by a 95 mph fastball last year? That's not good for prospect stock lol.

Taylor was regarded fairly high, even though we immediately flipped him for Brett Wallace (which I think was our plan all along). Wallace was also regarded fairly well, but IIRC the package for Halladay was no where near the one for Dickey. What most forget though is that Anthopoulos worked with absolutely no leverage. Halladay had 10-5 rights I think and I remember him saying that he wanted to go to the Phillies, so he didn't really have much to work with, it's not a fair comparison.

Answer: C.) None of the above; much much much below I'm trying to stay positive but it's not going well lol

That 128 wRC+ would look nice in a Lind platoon But Gomes would have been very nice

I said nothing about confidence varying from month to month.

I'd say Todd Frazier but he's better than the weak end of a platoon. We really should have signed Jeff Keppinger. I'm still hoping for Kyle Blanks or Jesus Guzman to platoon with him.

Let's hope Syndergaard goes Zack Stewart or Brett Wallace and not Jeff Kent or Michael Young.

It was a beautiful swing. He hit that ball a mile. Looked like it went over a wire up above the stadium or something.

Ignore the ragingly flamboyant stadium music. how the f*** do I embed?

He's in such great shape. Why does he keep getting injured? Did you see Buxton's walk off grand slam?

Not that much more BABIP luck and K's were never really there. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1703&position=P#platediscipline His plate discipline just f***ing blew up everywhere.

I think that could be a fairly even trade, really, with Stanton's side probably coming out a bit on top.

People just ignored the ERA?

It's amazing a 6'5/245 player could be such a good defender. But there's the chance that Buxton is a rare great-fielding, very good hitting CF, and Sano's bat is just insane.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not crazy (edit: yes I am but still lol), because I keep thinking that too and it's really pissing me off. I'm gonna change my avatar lol.

It's different, but players don't perform consistently in it, there's too much variance season to season.

It's descriptive, not predictive. Would it be swayed by BABIP luck too?
