The force is not very strong with you.

New Strategy in Baseball: Drop the ball on purpose
John_Havok replied to walkoff93's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Sure you could, if you had runners on 1st and 2nd with say 1 out and a fly was hit to shallow RF, you could just catch it, take your 1 or two steps to ensure the runners have take a few steps back to their bases, then flub the transfer and gun it to 2b first, getting the force out from the runner on first, and the guy that was on second would only have had enough time to take maybe 3 or 4 strides and the 2b could just throw it to third and start a rundown. There's your second out on the play and third out overall... Or if the same scenario happened with none out, you'd now have two outs and a runner on first, unless he moved up in the rundown to second. Either way, the run scoring expectation would decrease as a result. -
Boyd also named FSL Pitcher of the week from April 3-13( first awards always span more than 7 days) Florida State League Matt Boyd, Dunedin (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 12 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 HR, 0 HBP, 1 BB, 9 K) Boyd appeared in eight games last season after the Blue Jays made him a sixth-round pick in the June 2013 Draft. Though he went 0-3, he held hitters to a .167 mark and struck out nearly a batter per inning. The Oregon State product has been just as sharp in his first two outings of 2014, allowing no runs and one walk while earning a pair of victories in 12 innings. With help from the southpaw Boyd, Dunedin owns the top record in the FSL at 8-2. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140414&content_id=72021532&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_opotw&sid=milb

IMO catching the ball, and then taking it out of your glove are two different things. Why they need to be combined to record an out is beyond me. Cameron is right though, on fly balls that are just deep enough not to be IF flies, you could easily f*** over baser nerd by just catching it and taking a step or two and intentionally flubbing the transfer -
Smith Jr makes the April 11 BA Hot Sheet at #12. 12. Dwight Smith Jr., lf, Blue Jays Team: high Class A Dunedin (Florida State) Age: 21 Why He’s Here: .469/.485/.750 (15-for-32), 3 2B, 2 HR, 8 RBIs, 1 BB, 0 SO, 2-for-3 SB The Scoop: Smith doesn’t profile as a bopping corner outfielder, but he began 2014 by flashing surprising pop, hitting two home runs and three doubles in his first 32 at-bats, with both homers against rehabbing Cole Hamels. Smith had two doubles and three RBIs against Daytona on Thursday. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/prospect-hot-sheet-april-11-joc-pedersons-wide-ranging-tool-set-plays-at-triple-a/

What I dont get about the new catch/transfer rule... What prompted the need for change? It's not like there was multiple times every game like umps getting calls horribly wrong. There's wasn't multiple injuries to act as a catalyst for the new catcher/blocking rule. -
Thousands of people didn't view it. 3 did, thousands of times because they're idiots. He's not a popular player, he's org filler that 3 people have an irrational liking for, bordering on stalking. You're right about great players funding a way to rise to the top though, Norris and Dwight Smith jr are having a great start to the year.

No idea. Can't find it anywhere
-
Why DeRozan doesn't do that way more often, I'll never know.
-
Holy s***, the guy trips over his own feet and Lowry gets another ******** foul called on him get him out of the game... Just... Wow
-
Another god awful call.... f*** these refs
-
Get Hayes the f*** off the floor! Can't run offense with 4 guys
-
I really hate DeRozan... Long two after long two, terrible ball handler and ISO player and won't drive to the rack ... Wish he had a brain
-
Another minus game for Salmons, -5 and counting this game. Raps scored 42 in the first quarter, have just 45 total in the next 2 quarters
-
Not sure how that's not a foul.... Lowry in the air taking a shot and gets body-checked by Monroe and sent flying... What are these refs looking at?
-
Offensive rebounds Detroit 19 Raptors 4
-
Yet everything from Detroit is going inside and shockingly they're getting way more foul calls and way more easy looks. I don't get why Casey doesn't see this as a good thing to do.
-
They should be feeding JV every trip, yet they continue to settle for long 2's on the most obvious play in the world where DeRozan just curls up from the baseline off a screen..... This offense is so frustrating to watch.

Izturis to DL, Kratz to Buffalo, Kawasaki and Happ call up
John_Havok replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I definitely don't get the move of Happ, you have a position player hurt, and send a position player down, and you bring up a pen arm that has no talent and should only ever be used in blowouts.... -
Starting to look like it won't matter much even if the Raps get in the playoffs, they won't win getting out rebounded by 30 every game.

Should we keep the Prospects/Minor league subforum
John_Havok replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I can't hit the Thanks button enough times to convey my appreciation. -
Good. Maybe you and the clones will try to come up with something that actually adds to the board instead of repeating and quoting the same garbage ad nauseum to each other about a prospect that is barely relevant.
-
It's completely against the rules of the CBA, so ... yeah if I were the MLBPA I'd be pissed too.
-
I like Rasmus tonight
-
It shouldn't have, if you don't pick a player you keep the streak alive, you only lose it if you pick wrong. You must have had a pick in there or something
