    I don't think I've ever seen the ump take out a handful of balls before and let the pitcher select one

    Edwin
  3. Abomination
    Not really. He kind of lightly shook his arm a few times.

    I really don't like the Jays current policy of 100 pitches max. No reason for Buehrle not to go to 115 or so today.
  5. Abomination
    Edwin if it isn't too late
  6. Abomination
    Rivera just coughed up another lead. Back to back blown saves.
  7. Abomination
    I love seeing Lawrie asking everyone about the pitchers and getting all the info he can

    Have you looked at Granderson's defensive ratings in center? They moved him for good reason. Colby has been well above average. That wouldn't make it necessarily the right decision to leave Colby at center if Gose came up, but the situations are not the same.

    It's nearly impossible to say. Are the A's pitchers so good because of talent, or because of the confidence they gain playing in a park that massively favors the pitchers?

    It feels like we don't have many that just sneak over the wall. All of ours seems to be into the stands. I haven't looked at a home run log for the distances though.

    They really need to fix whatever happened with the stadium (windows removal?). The ball has never carried like this before, although it was still a good hitters park. The more we see that replay, the more I think the runner was out.

    If you really want your jammies russled, go to ESPN's stats and take a look at dwar for all Jays players (this should make people hate baseball reference's WAR even more, which I think is what they use). Interestingly, after looking closer at some of the numbers, Boni might actually rate positive defensively overall if you take away the ~50 innings he's played in center field. Removing the first 2 weeks or so of the season when he was a gong show at 2nd probably puts him above average defensively there too on both B-R and Fangraphs. Now if we could only get that horrid bat going. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/fielding/_/name/tor/cat/defWARBR/toronto-blue-jays edited: Included the link to ESPN's dwar.

    I wouldn't put much into that. Without fieldfx the defensive metrics are all extremely flawed. One way to evaluate that is that last year Angels pitching gave up a 17% line drive rate (one of the best in the league). This year they're giving up 23% (one of the worst). Now I know those metrics attempt to incorporate that, but it's impossible to do so with the general categories they're restricted to with current data collection. It's likely (although currently impossible to prove) that last year Trout faced a lot more easy catches, while this year he's facing very few. That would impact his overall numbers through no fault of his own. Last year his defensive WAR was probably too high, this year waaaaay too low. Just my opinion.
  15. Abomination
    I'd have to think he'd become the first person to exceed 300M at minimum.
  16. Abomination
    Miller out for Cards after facing 1 batter (guessing he was hit by the ball, but not watching live).
  17. Abomination
    I'm glad that strike call was to Boni and not Bautista. He would have gone ballistic.
  18. Abomination
    Apparently it would be MDR though.
  19. Abomination
    Rasmus beat that out. Can't really complain too much though, we have gotten a lot of breaks on calls this series.
  20. Abomination
    Well, that sure turned out to be a costly error by Lawrie. Hopefully he can make up for it.
  21. Abomination
    This series has been both entertaining and extremely painful at the same time.
  22. Abomination
    Not easy to walk Morse either.

    People may not have been quite as happy about it as I remembered, but there's so many deleted posts in the threads that it's impossible to get any kind of accurate sense. There certainly were a good number on both sides. Here's one of the threads for reference: http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-bluejays&tid=69927

    I seem to recall quite a few people being happy when EE was released, so I don't think Wilner is wrong.
  25. Abomination
    Seager almost threw that one away too.
