That's what she said.

10 best outfield throws of the last few decades?
John_Havok replied to BigCecil's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
That Guillen throw was ridiculous though. rf warning track to third on the fly, chest high bang on. Insane. -
I thought the same thing. The new MLBAM stuff would have that juicy tidbit, but sadly not yet for public consumption. Hittrackeronline.com will have it tomorrow too. Right now the hardest hit off the bat this season is a tie between Stanton and Ortiz, both at 119.9 MpH Stanton's back then was very similar to tonight's homer, except this was to the pull side. http://m.mlb.com/video/v32597997/ladmia-stanton-rips-his-second-home-run-of-the-day/?c_id=mlb Here's Ortiz. Papi murdered this ball... http://m.mlb.com/video/v32290751/bosnyy-big-papi-drills-a-solo-homer-to-right-field/?c_id=mlb

Anyone catch Stanton's oppo line drive taco tonight? http://m.mlb.com/video/v33771229/chcmia-stanton-lines-a-tworun-home-run-to-right Ball never got 30 feet off the ground ....

Whoever. You don't show the kids your chequebook balance.
-
That's one problem, the other is teams that add a gaggle of relievers and constantly match lefty righty for the last 3 innings of every game (looking at you Girardi). The thing that most hate about it... They play the first 5 months of the season with 25 players, why do they get to use way more just for the last month ? It's like playing game with different rules in the same season.
-
Really not sure why. Hoffman has minimal leverage since his injury basically prevents him from even throwing before next year's draft, so his draft position won't improve by waiting, while Pentecost isn't gong to suddenly vault into top 5 material next year either It's simple. The Jays aren't going to announce these guys bonuses until the last minute because they don't want latz's and Houck's agents to know how much money the jays have to sign their clients. If they did, they'd ask for all of it, and AA probably still wants to sign more of his picks. Hell, chances are they'll only get one of Houck or Latz.

Wanna know how many full time CF have a .350 OBP? 8. 9 if you include Gose. And Even if he hits like this for his entire career, he'd be a 3 WAR cf on his defensive chops alone. That's way past fine for a 9 hole hitter
-
One would be remiss without stating that Boyd and Cole are both old for the level,... But in the case of Cole who went on his Mormon mission for two years after being drafted and didnt throw a baseball for those two years, he's now just getting his full arm strength and velocity back. Last year and the year before he was only pitching in the mid to high 80's, this year he's getting back up into the low 90's http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140611&content_id=79084182&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb&sid=milb

The force is strong with that one. Even I can't tell most of the time
-
Oakland up 3-0 early on the Yankees too.
-
Since Boyd was sent back down to Dunedin after his early season promotion to AA, Norris, Boyd and Cole have been the pitching version of Murderers Row. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ibp&cid=424&stn=true&sid=t424

Yeah, really don't think they should be pinch hitting for Tolleson here, would hurt the D. But not pinch hitting for Kratz I think is fine since you're Up by three. In a closer game, they probably do it
-
Really not sure how they arrived at that conclusion...
-
Great slide
-
It's perfectly fine to criticize, as long as it's in advance, not some hindsight garbage. I agree with you in this case, I'd rather see a guy at DH who might run into one over a guy who can barely swing his bat
-
No.
-
10.) When the beer runs out.
-
I see this POV, and in different situations perhaps earlier in the game... Ok. But not two outs in the 9th, when you need to try to get Reyes to second before you take a hack.
-
Why anyone would panic over a sports team is beyond me. I know you're kind of coming from a different angle, but... Either way, panicking is stupid.
-
I'm talking about a single at bat in a game. Not the offense a whole. Nice try though. Keep digging
-
Pitching is far greater a need.
-
Yeah that was odd. You have to take a pitch or two to give Reyes even a chance to take second. Melky has a great ability to contact the ball, he shouldn't be afraid to hit with two strikes. Plus, the way Britton had been throwing he'd probably have at least ball 1 or 2 rather than 0-2
