This is the kind of pace of play issues that need to be addressed. What's it been... 9 minutes since the last pitch?
Just because they didn't have a reliever ready they send out a bunch of delay tactics, then the long pitcher change...
I say 81, just because I have faith that Shatkins knows we are not true contenders and will jettison the movable old guys regardless of their record.
50 wins would probably kill the market for the next 3 years and then you'd have rogers whining about attendance and pretending they can't spend money , when it's common knowledge now that gate attendance is nowhere near as important as it used to for revenue.
At the time it was dubbed the 8th wonder of the world. Everyone marvelled at the first fully retractable stadium roof in the world. It's arguable that the skydom set the standard for which new stadiums for big sports teams are now being buit.
BUUUUUT..... all those other guys learned from what the dome did wrong and they now build stadiums specific to the sports they host rather than trying to be super-multi-everything-plexes.
I think they're handcuffed to it because Derozan can't create his own shot and he's an awful ball handler. Everything that runs through him has to be slow and deliberate or he's screwed. Double team him and he's effectively useless.
Raps hitched their wagon to the wrong type of player.
The bigger question is when the Raps get blown out of the playoffs again because of it, does it make sense to resign Lowry?
Losing is being generous with this laughable display. A high school team would beat the Raps tonight. Spineless effort so far.
They look like a team always looking for a foul call rather than trying to score. Refs won't bail out your ******** offense in the playoffs.
Props to the first comment in the comments section
"Oh eff off Lackey. Don’t you have another cancer-stricken wife to divorce or something?"
Mic dropped.
His walk rate is up this year a bit, which is good. Also like that he's working on being more useful defensively.
But, forgive me of I take his near .500 babip with a tiny grain of salt. Also this will be his age 22 season, above league average.
