As long as the great defensive player carries enough bat that it doesn't offset his defensive contributions he ends up a replacement level or worse player, that's fine. Goins doesn't fit that profile unfortunately. His bat is that bad.
f*** off everything Yankee. Double down the line goes put of play costing them a run.
Wild pitch then caroms right off the wall straight back to the catcher... Costing the Jays that run again.
Interesting. Chris Davis helped out a car accident victim on the highway yesterday.

Guess that proves he's not on 'roids, he needed help to lift the truck.
Hardly. They've really never had a truly talented enough team to make noise. The core right now is half decent, but the FO surrounded them with scrubs and spare parts, while trading away a huge chunk of young talent.
You don't win that way.
It doesnt tell the whole story, defense has been brutal... And the luck dragon is firmly up Baltimore's ass. Jays also couldn't capitalize of their chances offensively, of course.
Blind luck and random sequencing has more to do with winning baseball than a manager. I know people out there still seem to think managers are some wise old sage who take players and magically make them better, but that's just not the case.
Career 76 wRC+... I guess the baseball gods just feel like giving Baltimore a blow job
And for f***s sake Navarro that's like 5 low strikes you've butchered tonight
