Only the 6th inning and also it ties the club record for RBI's in a game.
-
If he hits .280 with 10HR and 20SB would that be terrible? Would be like a Daniel Murphy clone.
-
Actually Anthopoulos said the major reason was he wanted to get away from "home" and "expectations". Must be a lot harder for Canadian guys like Pompey who grew up in Ontario vs. guys like Lawrie and Saunders, who despite being Canadian don't necessarily associate the Jays as their "Hometown Team".

Realistic? Yes Likely? No

Joey Gallo 0-3 so far with 3k's #TheChrisSaleEffect

Daniel Norris 7 IP 7H 3ER 1BB 8Ks but most importantly 69 strikes on 97 pitches.
-
The last 2 innings were from Jeremy Gabryszwski. Just a mistake by MiLB.com.

I was listening to the Dunedin radio broadcast, could be biased though.

5IP, 8H, 4ER, 0BB, 3Ks, 1HR. Hit 98 in the 5th inning. Most of the hits were of the bloop single/chopper variety

Who Will Gibbons Fight?
strochez replied to Top 10 Personal Catcher's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Fights AA, wins, then gets fired over "irreconcilable differences". -
Trading Bautista and/or Encarnacion

Max Pentecost? -
Castro and Copeland down (to Buffalo); Delabar and Jenkins up
strochez replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
AA: I want Castro, Osuna, Norris, Pompey and Travis on the team and Delabar in AAA. Gibby: No way! That's too many rookies to have on the team. AA: Let's try it for a month if you don't like it we'll send them down. Gibby: -
It's relatively hard to draft almost exclusively highschool pitchers and sign 16 year old international prospect that will immediately throw strikes consistently, especially with the Jays preference for guys with great raw stuff.

At this point I like Hoffman more because after hearing about his rehab going well I think he has less risk than a 18 year old from Mexico that hasn't pitched in college. Right now Hoffman's floor is where Gerrit Cole is right now. Urias has a higher risk level because he doesn't have the command Hoffman does. I'd rather stick with the polished Hoffman over Urias.
-
Think this means Hoffman is on the block or a move involving someone else is coming?
-
Seemed almost like a Trevor Bauer start minus the ridiculous strikeout totals.
-
From what I've read I'd just skip his next start and give it to Francis/Estrada and put him on the DL if you need to and have him throw side sessions and work with the Toronto team doctors (who are superior to Buffalo's) until it clears up. Or make like Buehrle and work through it with Francis/Estrada warmed up and ready to step in if need be.
-
Mark Buehrle and CC Sabathia say the opposite. "You work through it and you know it'll come back," Sabathia says. Mark Buehrle says, "We all go through periods where our arms are just a little tired. It's a long season and there are times where you might have thrown 60 or 70 innings but you feel like you've thrown 100. "There are times where you haven't thrown in five days but you feel like you're thrown for 12 days in a row. I guess that's what I think of when I hear about dead arm."

It depends really on scoring and what you need but I think Castro has more value for the first half and Hutch has more value after the break.
-
I think "Dead Arm" makes it sound a lot more dramatic than it actually is. It basically just restricts motion in your arm temporarily and if you ignore the symptoms it could lead to something serious.
