Can't get blood from a stone. The failures of the staff are on AA's head far more than walker's. But you're right though, maybe they make him the scapegoat -
I'm unusually pessimistic and rant-y tonight too, but when you've been watching the Jays for the past 3 games and the complete clusterf*** they've been... I don't know what else to think
-
And again. Wasting pitches on Gomes.... Awful pitch calling.... Need to busting these guys inside
-
Napoli's cold zone is up and in.. Yet everything from Wganer is outer half... What scouting report are they reading?
-
I don't even know what to say. Then with the bases loaded they're wasting pitches on Napoli... This is so far past a gong show
-
Sp sucked, hitting has sucked, and the pen has so far sucked.... Really hard to see a comeback forming
-
Honestly, didn't see it, that's why I put in the hypothetical
-
Went through this already in the goins thread.... He's not getting hugely "unlucky" for his batted ball profile. You just don't want to believe the numbers. The numbers say he's maybe 3 hits unlucky on the season,and would have something like a .210 avg with a normalized babip.
-
Yes it's likely that it will, but he'll have to actually make better contact first.
-
His line drive rate is 12.2%. Of his 5 line drives he has 3 hits. Which is .600 babip. The avg babip on liners is .700 but thats impossible to attain on 5 line drives. Let's say that last one was a liner, then he'd have a . 500 babip and you could make the case he's been " unlucky " and should have 1 more hit. Hardly enough to justify a narrative of "quite a few well struck balls for outs"
-
I posted something similar to this a while back, saying that young pitchers basically aren't allowed to give their arms a break anymore. Of course, coming from Dr. Andrews it carries a lot more weight.
-
I disagree. I think the line of thinking that young players that are stressing the s*** out of their ligaments in their formative years and thus having them break more often is a pretty logical thought. Not sure how you'd prove it unless you followed a huge number of kids from the time they were 12 to 25 and compare the injury numbers on some kids who didn't throw the breaking stuff vs those who do. Problem is, how are you ever going to find kids that exclusively throw fastballs before college... It's practically unheard of now.

Jose thought he was being crafty, after seeing those double steals off the Jays in the past few games. Problem is, Jose sucks at base running. Zaun made a good point though, if Jose has that constant green light thing, the jays bench should have given him the red light signs in that situation to prevent him from trying to be crafty. Yes,... I know i said Zaun is right... I feel sick already
-
wtf Jose.... That's just stupid
-
Sox must have a man in Red in the outfield stands stealing signs.
-
Peavy 21 pitches, 18 strikes through 2 innings.
-
Shouldn't be afraid of any team in any series...
-
Peavy has it going tonight, this is going to be a long night
-
Could never trade him and his contract this early in the season.
-
Peavy really hitting the edges tonight well so far
-
Wow, just zero plate discipline tonight....
-
People couldn't seriously expect his 93% strand rate to hold up...
-
Do you see that Rivera? Ball in the air already back towards the IF and the runner is stopped at third? Not waved around into an obvious out at the plate?
-
To be fair, Zaun thinks avg against is an advanced stat.
-
He's just looking at this years 27 PA sample size. You know... Reliable data for Buck
