Buck has no shame in mentioning about the, you know

You mean the no-hitter?

I don't have a problem with mentioning it myself. Or with walking under ladders. Or freely saying "Macbeth" at any time when I was in a production of the play.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Well, at least you can't blame Gibbons for anything concerning Estrada since he's not even managing.

somebody will still blame Gibby though. probably will say it's his fault for getting tossed and not giving himself a chance to make the decision

 

[Canada4Gold]

Or freely saying "Macbeth" at any time when I was in a production of the play.

Yeah I've never heard that one

 

[Paris in Flames]

He's realistic.

Estrada is already over 100 pitches. Unless he has some sort of bionic arm...ain't really nothing for Buck to jinx.

 

[Canada4Gold]

When Travis comes back will the hitting order likely be like this?

Reyes
Donaldson
Bautista
Encarnacion
Martin
ColaBello
Smoak
Pillar
Travis

Goins is hitting well lately, we need a 10 man lineup lol


Reyes
Donaldson
Bautista
Encarnacion
Martin
Colabello
Smoak
Pillar
Travis
Goins

well you can still get the team no hitter, that's an actual thing.

 

[Longshot]

A "crappier shortstop" wouldn't get to the ball, but the runner also would not have taken 2nd as the player never would have thrown the ball away.

Not the best example there.

I don't see that as an error on the 3B. The throw was right to first and it was the first baseman's responsibility to make sure the ball didn't get by him to keep Colabello at first. It's not like Machado air mailed it into the first row.

Well, you could still have a combined no-no.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Well sure but it's not really as prestigious or something you avoid talking about. Its more of a "hey, cool" thing.

 

[Longshot]

I was making that argument to my father the other day when we were watching the game together. I was like in 100 balls hit to Donaldson and Sandoval would you prefer 95 made plays, and 5 throwing errors from Donaldson, or 70 made plays, 0 errors and 30 singles with Sandoval?

There's really no leg to stand on with the 2nd argument, you have to be a brutal thrower to make so many errors on all the balls you get to to make up for the extra balls you do get to that others don't

It's such a simple argument, but there was a time many in baseball thought that was ridiculous. And would argue that Sandoval was the better fielder because he made zero errors compared to the five made by Donaldson in that scenario.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Yeah I've never heard that one

In the entire history of the Jays franchise there has been one.

If there is another tonight, regardless of whether or not the starter finishes it, believe me - it will be prestigious and a big moment.

 

[Orca Smash]

Estrada our ace.

 

[mikebel111*]

Too early to start the countdown

 

[LaCarriere]

Geez, down to the wire here...

could buck mention it anymore than he has? It's like he's trying to slip it in every opportunity he gets.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I'd throw him out there for the 8th

 

[Suntouchable13]

I'd take the long term view on the season, and pull Marco here. I don't want him to get hurt.

 

[OmniSens]

The Score had to send the notification. All hell is about to happen.

 

[Longshot]

He's staying in until it's over or finished...

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's just stupid. Are you one of the people who tweets Wilner about it because he normally mentions it when one gets ruined this late.

You can't impact anything by saying it. The only thing I wouldn't do it say it to the pitcher because it could get it his head and actually affect things. The pitcher can't head the broadcaster talk about it.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Didnt edwin jackson have a 150 pitch no hitter? Marco can do it in probably 130

 

[Suntouchable13]

Well, I guess he's going to get stretched out now!

 

[Longshot]

I refuse to say. I said it last night and was immediately ripped when Dickey lost it.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am getting nervous. I have never seen the Jays throw a no-no. The closest was Morrow a few years ago, and also McGowan in 2007 or 2008

 

[Longshot]

Demarlo Hale knows what's up.

Carerra in the game and the best D is on the field.
