    Buck: "Josh McDonald"
  2. intentional wok
    Unreal. Wow.
  3. intentional wok
    Who is working in the video room that is at all confident that's a definitive play? And of course the s***** glove leads to a run.
  4. intentional wok
    No way this gets overturned.
  5. intentional wok
    The baseball gods getting back at Toronto. Every game has some weird BS that ends up costing.
  6. intentional wok
    Orioles continue with the horseshoe. Tulo's hit was like a foot short.
  7. intentional wok
    Donaldson is a ridiculous hitter.
  8. intentional wok
    What did he say?
  9. intentional wok
    Just realized you weren't clear. Yeah I knew what you were getting at.

    The Blue Jays will probably be well below .500 in one-run games because all the victories will end up as multi-run victories because of the very, very powerful lineup. This is what happened last year, so no one should delude themselves into thinking the team is somehow deficient in this respect. The team wins one-run games the best way they can: by putting up three or four more runs to put it out of reach so that bloopy s*** can't do much damage. The one-run "stat" is arbitrary and silly. If Jones homered today instead of the wild pitch it would have been a 7-3 game and would fall right off the radar for the one-run crowd by mid-season.

    This can't be true. edit: wow, it's true. Not really a huge stat but still weird I guess. How does it change when you adjust for the performance of his personal catcher?

    What's worse is that it's rarely even discussed as an option. Has there ever been a report about backups all trying to get in edgewise by demonstrating knuckleball aptitude? It's basically assumed to be Thole every year, except for the Martin-Navarro logjam last year. And even then, there was a huge portion of time when the team carried all friggin' three, which says volumes. This doesn't really seem to me like a mid-season change. It should have been considered when building depth, and even Shatkins glossed over it.

    It's been 16 games and how many runs are a direct or indirect result of botched catching? 5? 6? That's basically a whole game.
  14. intentional wok
    I'll take it.
  15. intentional wok
    He's not complete dead weight and is a reasonable backup for Martin with the other pitchers too. Martin's days off are basically Dickey starts at this point, and that's not really a good way to do things.
  16. intentional wok
    The only solution at this point is giving the job to Martin and finding a usable backup C. The problem is and always has been that no other option has ever been legitimately trained.

    My prediction from earlier. A little later than I expected, but this is how the game was decided.
  18. intentional wok
    He didn't look all that stunned by it. But even if he was, it was a totally blockable play. A professional catcher can't let that sort of pitch bite him. It wasn't spiked and it wasn't a three-foot loss of control.
  19. intentional wok
    Outside the Joseph double he was totally fine. Even Rickard's hit was pure luck.
  20. intentional wok
    Thole needs to at least catch the other guys sometimes. It's in the team's best interest to keep him at least half-versatile with the staff. That was brutal, though. Another derpy play costs a crucial run. This time, the game. Thole's got to get the f*** down and protect his domain, man. Jesus. What a half hearted swipe. It's always the Dickey starts that feature the most ********.
  21. intentional wok
    O's going to BABIP a win dammit.
  22. intentional wok
    You shameless vulture.
  23. intentional wok
    Not a Storen fan so far, but this seems like the only move with Chavez unavailable.
  24. intentional wok
    Can't argue with this.
  25. intentional wok
    This one is on you if it goes south.
