  1. I don't get people s***ing on Gibby. Alford is in his first ML game and there's a very strong likilhood he's nowhere near ready for the primetime and will be back in AA when pillar is back. IMO he played the situation right and it worked.
  2. At what point does Shatkins get credit for extending Smoak?
  3. CorDick - right. Is baseball good because Bichette, in addition to being a rising star prospect is also effective using twitter? or because it's like a big family and they are all so happy when others succeed?
  4. I get the impression that a lot of people take the hard stance that bunting is always a bad idea because STATS. I really hate this notion. There are a pile of variables that come into play (batters matchup v. the pitcher, current hot/cold streaks, # of outs, inning, score, upcoming batters - and their matchup v. the pitcher)....none of which are factored into the stats people base these hard opinions on. To pre-set your game plan around generic stats and to be unwilling to have in game flexibility is incredibly shortsighted. Travis isn't Barry Bonds. He's a career 107 wRC+ hitter who's been utterly awful at the plate this year (quote the # of doubles he has all you want - he's still been runny dog s***). He's been hitting better lately, but at this point, he isn't a significantly superior hitter to Zeke or Barney. If he actually does his job there, there's a good chance the game gets tied up or that the Jays take the lead.
  5. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/charlie-mortons-electric-stuff-has-never-been-more-electric/ caution - GIFs in this post are NSFW. I remember thinking the Jays should go after Morton and Nova this offseason, while possibly looking to deal Liriano. Pats self on back (2 days in a row - arm's sore).
  6. I'm not going to read the s*** show about the bunt - but god knows if he hits into a double play there, there's as many people upset that they didn't bunt. Being a manager sucks (except the money part)
  7. Isn't Olivares more interesting than Palacios? Woodman has a K% of 40% in A ball. That isn't fun at all.
  8. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jake-arrieta-has-not-been-good/ Fangraphs stealing my material again. Pats self on back. Man I'm observant!
  9. Of course Buck would us this opportunity to complain about the new rules at home plate....cuz ole skool rule IMO the removal of the take out slide at 2nd and eliminating catchers blocking the plate have been excellent changes to the game.
  10. He passes the eye test for me. Nice smooth, simple delivery (although it looks like he's a little inconsistent with his landing foot). Colour me intrigued.
  11. 2 singles in 59 AB's for our backup catchers this year. Wow.
  12. Yeah I know - he's likely nothing, but it was an article about a BJ prospect, so I figured I'd post it. 187 wRC+ right now with a 30+ BB% rate is cool for now. Maybe he revamps his swing at some point to generate some power (ala Zobrist). Personally I love batters with control of the strike zone.
  13. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/blue-jays-prospect-jake-thomas-is-an-obp-machine/ Interesting article on Jake.
  14. Zeke deserves some props for his play this year when most of us (me included) wanted to see Oompey make the team over him.
  15. WE NEED MORE LATOS! ffs
  16. How on earth the Iron Pigs hat (a hat with just a strip of bacon on it) finishes 29th is beyond me. Lugnuts finished 44th.
  17. My 6 year old love blue and orange. This might be a good opportunity to get him a Bull Durham hat and pass on the love for the movie to him...
  18. 25. Baretto 27. Hoffman
  19. I'm with you about the 2 tone hats. That's why I hate all the red/black combos that the Jays use for their minor league teams. I can't even buy one of the blue/white jays hats.
  20. Again - he said you were trolling. Read better man.
