In AAA now

Hansen playing 1b today and Gurriel DH😳

Game #61 The FO will give 60 games to evaluate the players we have. Day 61 changes will occur. Or which ever series starts closest to game #61.

What do you mean more? Would you mind pointing me to the first comments, I must have missed them. Thanks!

So if your team hits worse in the AL then the average NL pitcher, is it ok to bunt situationally?

I have said time and time again, that I think if Shapiro is in charge of The Indian’s FO in 2016, the Indians don't make the Miller trade and they don’t make it to game 7 of the WS.

Hey, he had a Kelly Gruber #17 jersey and mullet when Kelly was still at Syracuse and Garth Iorg / Rance Mullinks were platooning at 3B. And that was before Al Gore invented the internet!

Read the game #2 GDT vs Cleveland and you will be enlightened as to sac bunts.

To be fair, and so this is an accurate discussion. Only 1 player is on the team of the kids who were not always going to be anyway, and that is Rowdy. I for one was not arguing for Brito, Hansen and Urena. To be fair to Urena, he has been pretty good. Grichuk was horrible this series and Smoak didn't do s*** when his bat was in the line-up.. Neither did Maile.

Lineups are out Bones, you started the GDT.. Giddy up!

Much better hitting line up today.. I hope..

Hey Corporal, 0-3 but at least you are not quitter, they have to win eventually.. right... ?

Coffee is only sweet if you put sugar or sweetener..... No carbs if no sugar or milk.

He played more games last year then at any point in his ML history.. And he sucked.. He offence does not make up for his horrible D and he was not the Travis of 2015, 2016..

Need I remind you guys Gibby bunted in a tie game in game 5 of the 2015 ALDS with the 2015 Blue Jays Powerhouse team.. With 2015 MVP JD and good Jose Bautista and EE coming up... Did you all call Gibby an old school small ball, FO puppet then..? The situation made sense... As did it last night..

You are making my point. The data includes good teams and s***** teams, hence the number is an average of good and s*****.. If you took good teams out, because so far the Jays do not qualify, what is the average? In that situation if you do not bunt, you need two to three hits that inning to score the runner. That includes the original double. I think (just going off memory) the Jays have had like 1 or maybe 2 innings where they had 2-3 hits in an inning in the whole season so far. What metrics or trending have you seen in the past two games in Cleveland or the whole year for that matter, that tells you the probability of the Jays getting 2-3 hits in the 8th inning (set/up and closer territory) was more probable then them getting an out, that could at least score a run, move the runner over..?

I was pondering the exact same scenario. I don't think it would hurt to give ACEucki an AAA start, just to get him back in the groove, but not with the plan of keeping him there until an injury. I also think between, Stroman, Sanchez, Shoemaker and Bucholtz, the likely hood of them all being healthy is slim.. We should put Clayton in the pen as a lefty and and have to hash out the 5th starter....

Run expectancy is an average. When you are using averages in statistics you have some high number and some low numbers that give you that "average'.Basic math. When calculating run expectancy, they are using metrics from teams like the 2015 Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox powerhouses, teams with Mike Trout and Harper etc... Good offensive teams and players that are averaged down made lower/ bylesser hitting teams/players. The 2019 Blue Jays so far is NOT the high end of the data.. That is why I said if it was the 2015 Blue Jays, different story. The 2019 is the low end of the data that gets you that average.. The 2019 Blue Jays do not have a 1.10 expectancy of runs.. They suck, their smart % play 8th inning tie game is getting a run on an out.. Some of you guys need to get your head of of spread sheets and look at the real world. Another example. Ricky Romero, left handed pitcher.. All the data going back to forever says you hit right handed hitters against lefties. The Rays realized due to the way Romero's pitches crossed the plate to lefties, lefties actually saw the ball better/hit better and stacked the line up with lefties vice righties.. This was a situation decision that made sense even if stats (which are collective averages) tell you different. Plus, the decision was made by professional managers/team that do buy into analytics.. I think they might know more then some Fangraph fan boy nerds. Except for PH Hansen.. Montoyo should be drug tested.. However, bunting in THAT situation with THE Team we have now WAS the smart move.

I don't speak French

The only positive comp I can think of is Kirby Puckett who was not exactly an underwear model but somehow played a really good CF. I see this going more the Prince Fielder route though😕😕

I think you are right.... Now I know how Jim must have felt when someone accused him of secretly having a crush on Donald Trump that he was trying to repress through his anti-Trump rantings and ravings.

Is this like when I was messing with Boxy and called him a SJW? Dude, go poll any mod or any member who can stomach reading my posts. Maybe drop into the politics section and say hi. Calling me a SJW is like saying Rowdy Tellez is a 5 tool CF. I am sarcastic. I like to mess with the board “clique” that seem to be a bunch of group think guys who don't permit contrary opinions and pile on posters who dare go against the grain. I do stand up for the weak and oppressed, even if I don't agree with them or they are commies etc.

I thought you were all peace loving Canadians.. Condoning ass rape and or beating up some guy on a baseball chat site for a differing opinion.. Y'all need to get some of that BC Gold that is legal now and start feeling irie man.. It is not like Tercet made fun of anyone's mother.. He just goes against the grain.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmCwa2YyGDA

So I saw Dusty Isaacs struck out 7 in a row.. That is pretty cool.. I notice he is 27... Career minor league guy or someone who we could call up for the pen?
