Can't say it really wasn't all that unexpected, the Raps are very inexperienced in playoff basketball which is a different beast. I only saw the second half but it looked like they were really tense... Maybe they come back in game 2 a little more confident.
-
Wow, no fouls on Brooklyn the entire 4th quarter.... Really?
-
Just tuned in for the second half here, Brooklyn getting all the calls so far, all ball block on Garnett and he goes to the line for two... Raps look really tense.
-
I'm sort of surprised by that since he went with Wagner in the 8th last night after both Cecil and Delabar ... thought maybe he'd tab Wagner for the save chance. But when you look at the Left handed heaviness of the Cleveland lineup outside of their switch hitters, Loup is a fine choice. I just hope today isn't one of those Buerhle blowup days where he gets beat up. He's due for a stinker.
-
I agree if he's dominating that much that it's clear he's not being challenged, it would open a spot to maybe allow another of the logjam of SS starters to jump to Lansing with a Lansing veteran up to Dunedin

April 19th, going to go with Francisco, just because I don't think they'll have a great scouting report and he hits one 450+ feet. Then strikes out the rest of the game. Jays hit first HR

And you can continue to be a clueless douche who amounts to nothing more than a mindless cheerleader. Try contributing to real baseball conversation.

Changing up my pick, I'll go with Jose Bautista

Blue Jays to add Gose as 26th man tomorrow game

Fixed that for you.
-
No kidding. I just hope they don't lay an egg in the first game... That would kill any type of hype before it even got started.
-
Statistically I should have guessed right by now... This sucks. Gimme Edwin tomorrow I guess.
-
And I'm not thrilled that Happ is terrible yet still being paid like a useful player on a major league team. We can't always get what we want.
-
Had a 6 streak twice but lost it both times on Trout. Starting over tonight with David Wright and HanRam
-
Gimme edwin
-
Maicer being out for the rest of the season probably won't make a huge difference. Replacing one replacement level player for another usually doesn't tip the scales one way or the other

Washington stomped Miami to clinch first place for Indiana
-
Vasquez with 25 points in DeRozan's absence. Very nice.

New Strategy in Baseball: Drop the ball on purpose
John_Havok replied to walkoff93's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Well of course, it's not like it would become some routine type of play for a defense to try, but it could still work occasionally. The point is, the rule change actually created a real potential problem that teams could exploit in the right scenario. -
Yet none belong to Alvarez, that's kinda shocking.
-
The force is not very strong with you.

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/
