There's a little resize thing in the bottom right hand corner of the quick reply box, try dragging it smaller and see if it fixes it.
-
Some of it is clearly mental, however it seemed like his velocity was also down this year. THAT could be a product of the knee problems, and could be causing him to over-compensate with the arm and lose command.
-
Verlander having a very unusual outing. 2 innings, 3 runs, 4 walks, 60 pitches.
-
I really dislike coaching staffs doing that. Pitch outs, pickoffs, etc are fine, but not pitch selection.
-
None that I've seen, and his arm looks normal and clean. He's still going to his wet hair though.
-
Small ball ftw! Regardless of what happened, I don't mind the Kawasaki bunt there. It took a perfect play to get him.

The Steve Delabar Velocity Training Program.
Abomination replied to Caper's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It's interesting that we really haven't seen starters go on the program. I also wonder what the long term effects of the different weights on the arm might be. It might make the arm stronger, or it might lead to more injuries. Still, considering the injury issues we've had I'm not sure there's much to lose, but definitely a lot to gain. -
I wonder if there's a rule to prevent that? That would actually be ... kind of smart ... until the fans stormed the field.
-
Unless Ramus produces everywhere else, I'm not sure the Jays will let it go that far. I think it more likely that he'll be gone by the deadline with Gose taking over.
-
Buffalo needs to just sign Moyer again. That'll fill a few of their old man quota slots so they can bring a young guy up.
-
Ramon Ortiz makes Lawrie look like a monk in meditation...
-
Not if half the game (the part where we're batting) takes a total of 30 mins to play.
-
Atta-boy batters. Make Lester throw almost no pitches so that he can't get warmed up. /sigh
-
I gave part of the reason after I said that. We know our coaching staff uses historical matchups when making lineups and pitching changes, so it helps us understand the reasons why certain moves were made (we don't have to agree with them, but it's nice to understand why). I also personally think that some guys just see the ball well off certain pitchers. I don't think the numbers can be completely disregarded, it's just tough to sort out what should be ignored and what might have merit because of the sample size.
-
I find it interesting that everyone wishes we hadn't cut Carp, yet many people want us to give up on McGowan. There's some arms you just quit on unless there's a gun to your head.
-
I actually like the historical matchups (although they're easy to look up), plus since the coaching staff definitely seems to reference them it's kind of useful in figuring out some of the moves and lineups.
-
Looks like Chris Carpenter might pitch again this year after all. Threw 70 pitches today with no numbness.

Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread
Abomination replied to Dylan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Melky tonight for me! Bautista will probably clank at least one off the monster though that would be a home run anywhere else. -
The Umpires are getting worse...
Abomination replied to 96-66 Jays's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I wonder how the average age of the mlb umpires has changed over the last 30 or so years, and if it correlates to the bad calls? -
After seeing all the other recent idiocy lately, I don't think it's bias. It just feels like it for us because everything else has been going wrong lately. The upside to all of this is that perhaps it will finally get Selig to take action
-
Bad bunt, but a good time to try it.
-
I'm actually more concerned about Saturday with Buchholz vs Buehrle. It'll be interesting to see Buchholz arm that game ...
-
Wilner guesses like the rest of us. He just does it with more arrogance.
-
That's how you manufacture a run!
-
Never understood why starting catchers complain to the ump about the strike zone when they're at the plate. If I was a pitcher, that would tick me off to no end.
