Pooh Drabek sighting. This will be fun to watch -
Yup and then an easy grounder hit in the exact tight place to get nobody....just another game where everything goes wrong and there seems to be no answer. Been way too many of these types of games lately
-
Still early for that. Sam Fuld set the world on fire too until he was figured out.
-
It's more so the pics. Just set a better example.. That's all. Unless you're drunk as hell... then it's okay.
-
No kidding. The jays are having innings shorter than the commercial breaks
-
Good defense makes having a bad offense much easier to work around.
-
You're a mod dude. You should ease up a bit on the same kind of posts that result in getting banned.

Fangraphs did a nice article today. Take a look at the bottom of the list. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/who-has-been-helped-and-hurt-the-most-by-the-art-of-pitch-framing-082214

Yup. Problem is it's still very inconsistent. 9 runs one game, 1 run for the next two, then 7, then 1 or 2 again. Makes for a nice avg of runs per game but not consistent winning baseball.
-
I just see a lot of passive hitting, coupled with guessing at pitches rather than recognizing what's being thrown and adjusting.
-
That's a pretty balls out way to accept the challenge though.
-
There lots of young talent there though and with the payroll room in the upcoming offseason, they could retool in a hurry.
-
Pedroia boots another one...nothing makes me happier than watching the Sox suck, except for the jays not sucking.
-
Key point though, AA has to find him and be willing to pay more than league minimum.
-
Depends on what's actually wrong with the patella. I had a displaced patella when I was 19 and it was no joke. Took 2-3 months of physical therapy before I could even walk without pain. Not enough detail on what kind of patella injury he has though.
-
Omg... The Red Sox are brutal... Just brutal. Nava just let a pop fly drop in front of him with the bases loaded and none out. Got the runner at second... But holy crap that was awful.
-
Well, true... His skillset really isn't represented well by xFIP, but he puts so many balls in play that he really needs a good defense behind him, which the jays don't have. And to one of your other points, yeah I think the could be a 2-2.5 WAR pitcher out there that wouldn't cost 19 million. As for whether I trust AA to find him... No, not really
-
First word on Richards, left knee patella injury. Severity still not known
-
Sure. But he needs to stop being looked at as a 2/3 and be seen as what he is, a 4. There no real room for improvement in his game. Chances are next year he'll be slightly more hittable, only be around 5 K/9, 2 bb/9, that's not really a guy I want to pay 19 million to as a back end starter. Reliable... Yes. Too expensive for his skillset? Absolutely. He's had an xFIP under 4 only 3 seasons in his career, and never under 3.77. 2 of the seasons were 9 and 10 years ago.
-
Sure, except that the Angels would be better off not trading for Buerhle and just using Wolf or Leblanc. Would you just let Buerhle go for nothing or want some s***** asset from the Angels' system back?
-
Watching the game you could hear his screaming on the audio until they turned down the volume on the mics close to first
-
Jesus ... Big Papi just went BOOM
-
That's just it, it really doesn't look bad, but he was howling like he was shot. Something in that knee or ankle went horribly wrong.
-
The video of it isn't great, the play wasn't even at first, but I'm sure something will be up soon
-
Worst part of it, they can't even stand him up to get him on the cart, they have to put him on the backboard ... That's no good.
