the speed thing is cool, but the producer has no f***ing clue which camera to use. they are afraid of missing the ball being hit, but the rule is they can't pitch until the ball hits the ground. You'd think they'd figure it out
I like the competitiveness of this format, but it's really hard for the camera guys or the announcers to keep up with it all. I'll bet it's a lot better at the park.
the one stat that jays fans think about it is Bautista (2012) 141 80 -44.4% which is the worst on that list. just because he had a bad second half that year doesn't mean that it is a thing.
wasn't that the year he hurt the tendon in his wrist?
JD being ready for Friday should be WAY down on your list of things to worry about mate. Hitting some HRs and playing two innings of baseball over 4 days should be fine. it's the flu not an amputation. Bautista on the other hand...
have to wait and see. If he doesn't have a fever or feel dehydrated today he will probably be ok. playing sick in the heat yesterday probably didn't help. I'm sure he'd have played today if the medical staff let him. JD really doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is ok with missing games.
the thing that REALLY gets to me is that he looks like he is Hollywood-ing plays. if he actually puts in an effort he makes more of the plays, but he wants it to look like he's doing it effortlessly. I'd rather see him bust a nut and make the play!!!
