    Gibbons told the reporter that he would have to come out tomorrow and see. Based on Gibbons response, Gibbons hasn't decided yet.

    Thank you, for changing the topic.

    I wonder if it was the same reporter who suggested it yesterday? Good response by Gibbons, he should make the decisions not the reporters .

    I think that Tulowitzki would have turned that single by Rodriguez into a double play (but I might be delusional).

    Goins has made good contact three times today, one finally dropped in.

    That's it BBBB get some people riled up . Add some excitement to this thread.

    Why not just read what I posted: This is just your emphatic opinion whereas I provided stats and Flafson provided the ESPN article - http://www.bluejaysplus.com/ryan-goi...good-approach/. Devon Travis is the better hitter but I am not sure (yet) that he is a better overall player. However, this is my last post on this matter since neither of us can accurately predict the future. By better overall player, I mean offense and defense. And in any case, my previous posts were regarding his improved plate discipline since July 3rd, 2015 so why would I then assume that he will regress to the hitter he was in the past?

    You make me laugh BBBB .

    Although I love Tulowitzki's play as a Blue Jay, he hasn't shown good plate discipline.

    Probably not at a wRC+ 137 but maybe wRC+ 100 over 500 plate appearances or a full season. I think he can obtain a full season wRC+ 100 because his plate discipline has changed. Swinging at well chosen balls in the strike zone may lead to a league average run production stat. The good thing about Ryan Goins is that he is willing to spend the time to learn and is smart enough to learn, an example is yesterday when Buck Martinez explained how Ryan Goins received coaching on getting a good lead-off from 1st base and then he stole his first base of the year.
  12. nextyear
    For the past 2 months Goins has been batting above the league average. Over the period of July 3rd to August 29th, 2015, Ryan Goins has raised his wRC+ from 54 (on July 1st) to 82 (on August 29th), and over that same 2 month period Ryan Goins has a wRC+ of 137. (reference: fangraph game logs - http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=9807&position=2B/SS ) Most likely the Blue Jays will pick a healthy Devon Travis over Ryan Goins in 2016 because of Devon Travis' superior bat (although I prefer Ryan Goins because of his better defensive abilities at 2B). However, this late in the current 2015 season even if Devon Travis was able to play by mid-Septmber I think it would be very risky to switch Goins with a rusty Devon Travis.

    It is good to see the change in plate discipline explained statistically.
  14. nextyear
    I think that moving Martin further down is a good idea since he has been slumping at the plate. Moving Tulowitzki down in the lineup will be interesting. Having Goins batting clean up for Smoak, Martin and Pillar because of his hot bat makes sense .

    While I was watching the Yankees at Atlanta Braves game last night, the commentator stated that he just saw a fan fall from the upper tier at Turner Field. The commentator stated that he felt that the game would be ended, however, surprisingly the game continued on as if nothing had happened, although paramedics attended to the mortally injured fan - http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/fan-falls-upper-deck-yankees-braves-game-article-1.2341840 (caution, gory details are in this story). The Rogers Centre seems to be a place where such an incident is just waiting to happen with its high 500 level and steep tier. Do any stadiums employ netting under high tier levels to catch falling fans? There have been so many incidences of fans falling to their death that I wonder why more isn't done to design stadiums for fan safety? I found this undergraduate study on fan safety (well done for an undergraduate report) - http://fisherpub.sjfc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1038&context=sport_undergrad

    I consider Trouba95 to be one of the more level-headed posters on this forum. Keep up the good posting Trouba95!

    I just saw statcast for the first time while viewing some of the video replays on MLB.com, and I love it. Statcast seems to still be in its infancy and will evolve over time. I found a list of some stats that are being compiled such as exit velocity off a batters bat (I have seen people give such stats on this forum before) - http://m.mlb.com/statcast/leaderboard#exit-velo Hopefully there will be more stats made available such as how quickly a player can get from home plate to 1st plate after hitting a ball; although they would have to eliminate the situations when players don't run all-out (they could do an ultimate list and average speed stat).

    Edwin. 3 home runs 9 RBI's (thanks Buck, I lost track).
  20. nextyear
    Edwin has come a long way since being sent down to the minors a few years ago.

    Donaldson is a genius of a baseball player.

    Goins had a wRC+ of 82 after the first two hits today - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=9807&position=2B/SS - so with that 3rd hit he will be at about wRC+ 83 (it takes a few minutes for fangraphs to update (2 couple of months ago he was at wRC+ 59). Now that I know about fangraphs, I love it.
  23. nextyear
    Yes, he has 103 now according to the box score - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2015_08_29_detmlb_tormlb_1#game=2015_08_29_detmlb_tormlb_1,game_state=Live
