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.
-
CB is going to end up with a pair of broken hands if he keeps placing them on his knee unprotected.
-
It's impressive how far and hard he hit that opposite field foul!
-
Molina has a bad hamstring, which is why he's been sitting out quite a bit lately.
-
How come KJ can make pinpoint throws from the outfield, but can't from the infield? Still a bad decision there by Bautista.
-
He would have been safe it the bunt had stayed fair. I don't like the big hitters sacrificing, but that wasn't one.
-
Man alive does Gose have speed. He flies even when he's cruising.
-
He's doing a great job getting to ball 3. Really, if he just made that one change his offensive numbers would be pretty good.

Non-Jays/MLB Discussion - Sanabia Clearly Spitballing
Abomination replied to GD's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Aside from being disgusting, MLB needs to start suspending or fining these guys if they're caught (live or after the fact) blatantly cheating. -

Don't like Janssen warming up in the pen just yet. Combined with his rough inning last night, that might make him unavailable tomorrow even if he doesn't come into the game tonight.
-
Kind of looks like Jose is standing a little closer to the plate than I remember.
-
They were shifted over a ton. I think most probably get to that.
