If he doesn't beat him to the bag running he's definitely not going to beat him with the slide. Slide prevents momentum, doesn't get you there faster. Unless maybe you slide like Gose (superman slide).
Call me a conspiracy theorist but I usually feel like Jays don't get the calls that other teams do so I would be curious to compare us vs. the rest of the league.
Lind looks like he packed on some meat. I figured the redneck goatee is used to mask a chubbier face but if he keeps hitting these long balls I could care less.
You play shallow when it's the 9th inning and you need to eliminate base hits (i.e. XBH mean little unless the score is such that an XBH can tie or win the game).
Don't we have enough guys with 'potential' on our team already? Also, what are the odds of a near 27-year old suddenly figuring it out after 4 seasons already in the majors (please don't answer, it's rhetorical)?
