What a fnn momentum f***er, fnnn Blue ball us MFr...

f***in Rays!

Why are the Rays, the gold standard bunting!! WTF! That is giving away an out, I don't care about their guy in scoring position with 1 out they are the Rays! Indefensible! egregious!

We need to keep it 1.... We can do it in the 9th!

Come on Rowdy!!!!

You missed 4 innings of baseball looking up those big words.. I am impressed though, your normal vocabulary consists of dumbr, errr, duh, and other caveman words.

AA is not just a GM of the Braves.. Ask Creepy to sponsor you. You are like a leach on my dick except a leach doesn't have to look up big words to try and make people think aren't actually the board idiot. Not fooling anyone.. Go f*** yourself with your bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 in a paper bag you moose f***ing loser!

Like I said;)

Tampa was robbed...

I actually had faith in a comeback when we were down 5 early... Faith meter is now a negative number with too many zeros..

It looked like Maile was out more so then Urena.. I am surprised they didn't gamble on a challenge..

Actually it is the opposite.. I am saying I am sticking to my guns, holding my ground and calling someone out. However, if that is all you get from it so be it. I believe in free thought and differing opinions on this board, no matter how f***ed up..

They get a run on a s*** little blip hit because they put the ball in play and didn't K at like a 48% rate... Plus they are lucky..

f***, I thought so.. I hate it when I am right G dam it!

I don't have a lot of faith this wont be overturned..

One of our big comebacks/best comebacks of last year was in September against a wild card seeking Rays. The comeback was started late by the kids, like Tellez, and McGuire, and a few more.

Well, I guess the issue of if there will be space for Borucki will kind of take care of its self..

So, let me address you Hurl, this is also for the board as a whole as a FYI. Since I know the dumb remark is aimed at me, gloves are off Hurl the 50 yr old virgin. I actually voted for you as the best MOD. I want my fnnn vote back. So a number of months ago, the Hurl sent me a few PMs.. I was actually very appreciative, and kind thought like most of you probably do, that the Hurl is some kind Grandpa/Uncle type and fair to all. Wrong! He is more like Creepy Uncle Joe. The Hurl is the most elitist Machiavellian two faced guy on this board. With small to non-existent balls. How do I know he has no balls.. The Make me Hurl sent me a PM that basically said that I am not liked on this board because "some on this board" (remember that for later) think I am old school. I respectfully replied Ok, but we are not allowed to be on this board if we don't have a different opinion? Then after that, he wrote me a number of cautionary PMs due to my use of terms and expressions on the board, as well as publicly calling me out on the board. I actually thought those PMs were fair at the time also,. I was WRONG again. I have been on this board long enough now to realize that when the Hurl said some on this board, it meant him. But he didn't have a sack big enough to say it to my face, even via PM. Then I realized that I had been selectively targeted for my use of words and expression that were rampant from other posters and still are and I didn't see one idota of them being called out and I highly doubt they received PMs. Now that my eyes are open, you make BTS look like the best Mod ever.. Congratulations, add miracle worker to your resume. Let's talk about you as a general Mod and not just about your interactions with me. You are an elitist oppressive A-Hole for even suggesting you would close this thread. Are you fnnn serious Uncle Stalin? Under your Super Mod watch of this board you are going to call posters stupid and close a thread for making an opposing argument against the sabremetrics cock you have so far down your throat. All Hail Hurl, the Sabremetrics Dictator. All fall in line or you will ridiculed and threads will be closed. Dissenting thought is not tolerated. Hail sabremetrics or be squashed! I already know how you vote just by your actions on this board. You probably haven't see a ban that hasn't made your little grapes you have hiding in your Speedo tingle. I have no problem with Deadpool, who is diametrically opposed to me on this issue nor Omar. They make their points, we not might agree, but it is a baseball message board, we debate and talk baseball you oppressive special marble Olympic nerd. Same can be said with John Havok, BTS and tons of posters on this board.. They make their arguments, tell me why they think I am f***ed up by sticking to baseball. I disagree with virtually everything Jim says outside of the baseball forum, yet, he never gets personal. I actually think that even though Jim is a card carrying commie, he would never ever want a thread closed for offering baseball opinion. It is more of a joke you want to close this thread when you are taking up pages and pages talking about f***ing Marble or some f***ing nerd Olympics.. You are a fnn horrible Mod who apparently needs to get a life between marbles, blow up dolls and wielding your big stick with small balls on a baseball message board. By the way, I said cock, in this thread.. Cock, balls, suck cock, cock in ass. Am I going to get another cautionary PM.. I will probably be banned, closed minded oppressive personalities like you don't like to be challenged or told they are an internet loser. Have you seen the threads on this board?? Did you see the epileptic meth induced posting seizures that Boxy and Olerud had on this board the other night? Are you on crack that you are threatening to close this thread.. Obviously, it is because this thread is much more challenging to your sabrenazi manifesto you are the nerd king off. It is no secret that Spanky and I had had our issues, but to his credit, at least he tells it to my face as much as you can on the internet. You are weak back stabbing nutless dweeble if you close this thread. If you ban me for this, it really will be a shame because I like a lot of you on this board. I don't have hate for anyone. However, I am going to sleep well at night regardless what you do because I know I would NEVER in million years think about closing a thread that has been respectful and is just debating baseball philosophies. I AM a better person then you and obviously much more secure.. Go look in the mirror and repeat after me: I am a horrible MOD and a pathetic little man. I should resign my position, I am not worthy. Do it, do it now! For the record, Not that it should make an fnnn difference. I do believe in a lot of sabremetrics/analytics etc. I love metrics and comparative/ analysis and I am on the forefront of all the above and using data to make us more efficient, and successful in my professional field. I do not however worship it to the point of blind uninhabited worship where I discount human intuition and instincts and don't look at real world scenarios unfolding and make a smart decision, even if it goes against the cult of stats. I think one of the best GMs and he has proven so is Theo Epstien.. Look up any interviews with him and he will tell you gobbed Bill James knob harder than anyone 15 yrs ago. Now he is a mix of old school and new school.. That is exactly what I am. If I am banned fine, if this board is a fall in line with the cult like thinking and be one of the clique or else, and having the town drunk Spanky Simpson follow you around like a leech on your cock , I don't want anything to do with this board. De oppresso liber!

Are you back? I was boycotting until they let the Trump loving Asian Freedom fighter back on.. If you are back I can shorten my boycott list to just: Nike, Gillette, Dicks (X2), Levi's and Clowns.

Can I offer you a sparkling Brito and a side dish of Hansen.. Happy Birthday, how about a win for your special day!

Dude, you are like, 1-4? I say if you don't have a .500 record by game GDT 10, you should be banned from GDT until further notice Sorry, Corporal, but I am a results oriented individual..

When you originally posted this I was travelling and did not have a chance to respond. Now you are posting it again like it is one of the Ten Commandments of baseball, I feel obliged to respond and tell you why you are wrong. 1. Run expectancy is not a team stat, ie. good teams and s***** teams. It is a stat based on individual ab's of all players in the league to determine outcomes measured in runs. Bad teams can have good hitters and vice versa (Goins was on the 2015,16 Jays). Run expectancies have the same veracity for bad teams as they do for good teams. Doesn't matter if it is teams or individuals. The high side numbers that get you the average run expectancy are created by good hitters. The Blue Jays, by any reasonable standard did not have any high performing good hitters on their team that series. In that situation bunting was a good move and with the players who were AB or coming to bat you do not have the average run expectancy which is a number derived from the average of GOOD and bad hitters. 2. The fact that run expectancy when a player is allowed to bat is higher than when he bunts is true irrespective of how good/bad the team is. On a s***** team team, yes the chances of a producing a run via a hit is lower than a good team, but it is still better than bunting for that same s***** team. A poor hitting team just moves down on the run expectancy scale, but their run expectancy via a bunt also moves down. It is all relative and not based on how good or bad a team is. There is not a correlation between a team that can't score runs via a hit and a team cannot lay a bunt down and score vs an out. You used Ryan Goins as an example of a s***** hitter on good team. Do you know what he could do though? He could bunt... Then with the man on 3rd in 1 out in the SITUATION we were discussing, you only need a good out, hit expectancy does not matter, you can score a good out/pass ball, wild pitch, defensive bobble etc. 4. Another glaring omission is that you fail to consider babip. With a runner in scoring position just putting the ball in play could yield a run. BABIP in mlb is somewhere around .300 year over year. That is why you swing the bat, EVERYTIME, because as Tercet will tell you, even Gurriel can get a hit if he puts the ball in play. Why give up those odds for even lower odds with a bunt? With a runner on second and no outs, it is unfathomable why anyone would chose to bunt. I agree 110% with you you want to put the ball in play.. Bunting IS putting the ball in play. You know what is not putting the ball in play? Ks!!! The team that weekend was literally setting records for Ks. FACT: The first time in franchise history the Blue Jays had struck out 13 times in four consecutive games. Only ever done four times EVER in major league history. Dude that is like a 48% K rate of hitters based on 27 outs in a game. So that series you had a near 50% chance of one of our hitters Kng, let alone 2-3 hits back to back hits in an inning. As Abomination rightly points out. There are no absolutes and those numbers are averages that don't always correlate to the situation at hand. Some of you can't see the forest through the trees and think because there is a mathematical % based on aggregate statics that is is always and every time the right play in every situation. If you need one run to win or tie a game in the 9th man on 2b no out, are you going to do the same strategy if you have 2015 JD coming up vs Ryan Goins, are you going to do the exact same strategy if it is 2015 JB vs a lefty then if it is Ryan Goins vs a lefty.. The fact of the matter is, we didn't lay down a bunt in Cleveland, the hitter hit away, it was NOT successful and we lost. We didn't bunt last night either, we could have really used a cushion run.. The hitters Kd and didnt get a hit we got nothing and then we lost by a run.. With this team so far, situationaly where we have been in games and where we are at as a team this season.. The 2019 Toronto Blue Jays so far do NOT have the average run expectancy per Fangraphs are wherever.. This is the real world and a team of sucky, high K low contact hitters, not some spread sheet fantasy league..

You cant blame Atkins for not PH for him though..

We cant get a run on a sac fly and this is what happens.. We don't have the pen to compete in extras away if they dont win it here..

Does Alford or Pillar get that ball?
