On the flip side - I don't think Cola racks up the golden sombrero last night either. Very surprised Gibby didn't pinch hit Cola after Smoak struck out 3 times and comes up with a runner on 3rd with 1 out.
Game 1, Game 2, off day, Game 3, Game 4, off day, Game 5 - can't you go Price on 3 days rest Game 4 and Stro on 4 days rest Game 5?...perhaps I have that schedule wrong...
Was anyone here for the Canada/US game at Rogers Centre? That 9th inning was amazing....best I've ever been to live. I suspect tonight will topple that with leaps and bounds.
I think I told the board this awhile ago, but I went to a Christmas party back in 2011 and AA was there. He asked everyone to guess who his favourite prospect in the entire organization was....nobody guessed it was Sanchez, who was coming off some brutal results in rookie and A- ball...
As noted above, the Jays have been married to him for a long time. If only his command/control caught up with the pure stuff he has.
Not sure if anyone has asked this question yet - but do we think Gibby is smart enough to demote Sanchez from the 8th inning role....or is he going to cost us playoff games?
Personally - I worry it's the later because he's stupid.
Going to the game this Wednesday with 3 other guys....the restaurant at windows is booked up and we're looking for a good place to eat before the game. Any suggestions? We're looking for quality food and a couple of brews. I prefer to avoid chain restaurants if possible. We'll be taking the subway in, so walking distance from the dome is required.
Thanks guys.
I think the question is - do you plan on the Cola/Smoak platoon at 1st next year, or move Jose there? If you take Jose out of the mix in RF, then I'm not overly comfortable with Revere/Piller/Pompey/Saunders....although I could totally see that being the situation with high hopes that Saunders proves some value and Pompey proves he can be a ML regular.
Do the Stadium tour as well....it's well worth the nominal money it costs.
When I was in Boston - we did the hop on - hop off bus tours too and found them to be excellent. We used that as our taxi as it was like 40 min round trip. Boston is a wicked City, you'll have a blast. I can't wait to go back....never heard of this batting practice tour - sounds like fun.
Actually, you could argue Goins 12 dRS (combined between 2nd & SS) in only 834 combined innings is significantly better than Kinsler's 14 dRS in 1193 innings (prorated, Goins would have 17 in 1193 innings).
But lets all be honest - neither games played or dRS are huge factors when it comes to the GG awards. God only knows what the buffoon writers based their votes on...it's all a joke.
Hockey fans are also like interrupting the game so 2 goons can go fight each other. Also - here's hoping that moving forward, I can't just "move to another seat" when it's too hot out because the place is jammed!
