Machado looks like a "punk" lol

 

[canucksfan]

Ouch

 

[The Nemesis]

Did Buck really just sort of give a "kids these days" type speech? Would he also like to tell them to get off his lawn and possibly get haircuts too?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Pitchers don't throw inside anymore? What?

Grandpa Buck is off his rocker again.

 

[TootooTrain]

Lawrie oh wow.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Brett Lawrie isn't even someone who can play 2B anymore, he is legitimately very good at it.

 

[trellaine201]

Was the runner called out because he slid mid base path? Didn't look like Lawrie tagged him to me.

 

[The Nemesis]

Well, at least the O's fans are more well behaved with that bat than the d-bag Rangers fans were.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Take notes, Machado. That's how a real man throws his bat.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Good job going to 3rd Jose.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Whew!

 

[TootooTrain]

Bats no hit curveball.

Yea I dont understand why many people were so resistant to the idea of him playing second. It is almost a waist to have him playing 3rd with his athleticism.
3rd base isnt a premium defensive position, its nice to have great D there but it isnt as important as it is in the middle infield. His bat also plays better at second than it does at 3rd.

I think maybe because he was SO GOOD at 3B, people (including me) felt that he's there to stay (i.e. don't mess with a good thing).

Gose caught stealing again. Reyes leads off next inning, so not a huge deal.

Can't blame Gose there. Anytime you get thrown out on a pitch out i more bad luck than anything. They don't pitch out there he steals that easy.

The problem was the constant switch in deciding between 2B and 3B. He is still better at 3B but clearly proving he is quite good at 2B.

3B is a premium defensive position but 2B is a bit more important and yes, there are more quality of bats at 3B than 2B. For the future, I'd like to see the Jays go out get a 3B or move Jose there and find a SS.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Oh come on ump. Feels like Jays have been getting killed with poor strike calls lately.

 

[TootooTrain]

Can somebody get a hit with a runner in scoring position already. Holy cow.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Wow, Hutch has been great!

 

[Nasty Nazem]

I guess Hutchison likes facing the Orioles huh? Orioles offense doesn't look that good without Nelson Cruz. That signing has been huge for them and he is keeping them in the race. Seems absurd nobody would give him more than 8M.

No he just likes playing on the road!

That really makes things a lot more interesting going forward as well because it's much easier to get a good 3b than it is a good 2b. Although I did forget we have Izturis. You never hear anything about him since his injury.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

His splits are becoming more absurd by the inning.

Great bounce back start Hutch!

 

[Del Preston]

Hutch

His ERA is now under 2 on the road, I think.
