His velocity looks way down this inning, sitting 88mph.
-
Throwing strikes, for the most part hitting his spots, about 92ish. O's hit some very good pitches. Needs to get down in the zone a few more inches, but it's not like the balls were belt high or anything.
-
That's the first bad at-bat by Lind that I can remember in about a month.

I think I spotted a 94 there by Cecil. Who here ever thought we'd see THAT again?
-
There's the big hit we've been missing!!!
-
In fairness, he had control of the ball for a step or two when he hit the wall. Idiot fan, but if you try to sell the ball like that and get away with it you probably deserve something.
-
I actually like the suicide squeeze call there. Little bit of bad luck that the pitch was up and in (and Gausman didn't intend for it to be). Then the babip gods strike us again ...
-
2nd time through the order. Let's see if the batters learned anything.
-
I really love how the Jays simplified Morrow's delivery.
-
I'd expect to see much better swings the second time through the order.
-
It really is odd. Against power pitchers this year, we have an .831 ops.
-
There's really nothing to go on with this guy - he's thrown a grand total of 60 innings. The only thing that jumps out is the control. My feeling is that he'll be staying outside corner to the batters today, so if we look opposite field we'll probably do well. If we try to pull everything it's going to be a long night. Last year lefties hit him fairly well, this year there isn't much of a split difference. Regardless, it's far too small a sample size.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I know what you're saying, and with truly random data (flipping a coin or rolling dice) you would be absolutely correct. Getting 99 heads in a row has absolutely no bearing on the probability of getting it again on the 100th try. I would question if this data is really random though, as streaks (especially over several games) for many hitters seem to be largely dependent on their confidence and timing at the plate. In some ways, I think you could consider this "rolling with slightly weighted dice". Would make for an interesting study. I'm not saying that the decision to pitch to Bautista in this case wasn't correct, as I think it was. The increased chance of the Jays winning from an EE walk probably outweighs whatever advantage Jose may have had (if it does in fact exist). I'm also going to throw out the "3 guys in a row" walk portion of the original statement for obvious reasons, although in some ways it is the pitcher equivalent.

Kuroda left the game with a leg injury. That's a big blow to the Yankees if he's out any length of time.
-
I think I read something about his mechanics being slightly funky, and that they were working to correct it.
-
Trout catching fire. Got the hardest part of a second consecutive cycle finished (triple) along with the single.
-
Bautista is up to .275 now!
-
Big win! Come on guys, don't hurt Bautista's sore back any further!
-
Imo this is the right move at the right time, regardless of how it turns out.
-
The ump appeared to start calling that before Molina had even started moving his glove, so can't really give him credit for that. Just a horrible call.
-
Janssen is the one (and only) guy they haven't overused...
-
Good at-bat by Gose, just no result. He's looked pretty good today.
