AJ Jimenez clears waivers, assigned to Buffalo (AAA)
Krylian replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Congratulations! You've just won the award for least thread worthy topic of the week. -
My wife doesn't give a f*** either. She's actually upset that people have this much time on their hands to find new moronic things to complain about.

There are a lot of people that will. If there weren't, companies wouldn't be shelling out the cash they do to put their ads there.

General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
Krylian replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The situation was bad. Leon was also bad. -
Don't bother. Today's society sits on pins and needles just looking for any opportunity to bitch and moan about absof***inglutely nothing. I thought Gibby's comments were funny. If anyone was offended by them, f*** off.

What's Pittsburgh's stadium like with respect to it being a pitcher or homer friendly park?

General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
Krylian replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Day of rest is good. Maybe we can actually see Storen is he's needed now. -
Here's what I take from this thread. Last year's official 'Gibbons is bad' thread was created on April 25th. After an exciting post-season appearance and a season where everyone is excited about the prospects of seeing more post season play it only took until April 6th to create the official thread this time around. It's awesome to be a Jays fan!

I think you should be able to slide into the base, but be able to stick your arms out or up to make the infielder move. Don't grab the infielder, but make them get out of the way of your arms to make the throw.

I would literally carry a firearm on the bases.

And that's the thing. I think making it black and white is not going to have the outcome that they were bargaining for. It's kind of like what we started seeing last year with baserunners coming off the bag for a slit second in a pop-up slide or their toe coming off the bag for a split second on a stolen base and because Mr. middle infielder kept the tag on, and instant replay was now accessible, those plays were being looked at runners were being called out. Technically, are they out because they came off the bag? Sure. But were they "really" out based on our common sense and how we know it is? Not really. He beat the throw to second but his tow came off for a split second because of his aggressive slide. I still think player X deserves that stolen base. Baseball has been an imperfect game forever...I'm not sure that making it black and white for everything is the best course of action. Sometimes common sense needs to prevail. But maybe I'm alone in that.

If you can't see the difference between what Bautista did and what A-Rod did then there's no point in continuing this discussion.
-
Within reason. Jesus, some people need every little thing spelled out for them. Just like you were to use common sense when analyzing my post, there should be common sense when applying the "Utley" rule. Maybe that's why you're having a tough time with this...the common sense part.
-
Such anger in a thread that should be so positive after last nights outing by Sanchez.
-
Staying in the basepath is the big thing, I think. If Bautista slid HARD into second base, and took out a middle infielder... Just with his feet, is it called interference? No. Bautista reached out a bit, yes. But he didn't hook his leg or grab him and throw him off balance. It was very mild contact, and i think had virtually no impact on his ability to make the throw to first. Again, the purpose of this rule was for safety reasons. What about Bautista's slide was unsafe? Personally, I think you should be able to do whatever the hell you want within the baseline. The fielder needs to get in, make the play, and get out. If the base runner strays, penalize him and the team. I'll say it now... The Jays will eventually get a call like this go their way... And if it's as Pussyball as this one was, I'll hate it.
-
Because that's not the spirit of the rule. Sliding right by him and your hand touching a foot isn't why this rule was created. Sliding 6 feet out of the basepath and taking out knees is the reason why this rule was created. That's why people are upset.
-
I'm waiting to see middle infielders fake getting interfered with on double plays that they know they couldn't complete otherwise.
-
Baseball did this to themselves. I get needing to protect your players, and I completely agree. But the way the rule was implemented tonight was not in the spirit of what the rule was to prevent. I think that's everyone's concern.
-
Well. I'm going to try to spin it into a positive. Maybe this just adds fuel...fans the flames of the fire and gets them mad. Playing with a little anger can help. If they spin it into a 'the world' is against us kind of thing. Even if it's not true...as long as they believe it, there could be a little motivation there.
-
You wouldn't do that. You'd never post pics of your mom.

Tony's back in town?

Double plays for everyone!!
