[tml19]

Now I want to see Ben steal home, cause why not?

 

[TootooTrain]

Pillar padding his stats

Someone should throw at him. Unacceptable.

 

[TF97]

Remember the rotation in one series: Dickey, Johnson, and Wang?

I believe we used that trio of names as a title for one of the Blue Jays discussions

 

[Loosie]

Lowe coming in to finish this off...too bad would have been nice to Price get the CG, but his pitch count was getting up there.

 

[Bad News Benning]

How the hell did Revere end up at 3rd on that play?

 

[Swervin81]

what's he supposed to be swinging at? a glove?

Lowe coming in. Good decision

 

[Canada4Gold]

(Gomes was seen as a guy at the time and anybody who says he wasn't is full of it).

Sure, but it's always easier to trade the depth when you're strong at that position. Had they not had JPA they might not have traded Gomes thinking they might need him if D'Arnaud busts. Instead they traded D'Arnaud and could have used Gomes when JPA busted, and AJJ is always hurt. Oh well, we have Martin now.

 

[Eyedea]

The thing with the media didn't bother me that much. He was a young guy, struggling and it was really his only off-field hiccup.

I always thought they chose JP over D'Arnaud (Gomes was seen as a guy at the time and anybody who says he wasn't is full of it).

I thought Rogers had starters potential so I didn't complain about the deal, but having Gomes breakout with the Indians does serve as a rather large blemish on the staff's record.

"Part of what makes Pillar so great is that he swings at baseballs"

-Buck Martinez

I could totally see Buck saying that

 

[Mats13]

I think he's awesome.

Ok, I honestly have no idea how to respond to you anymore

 

[Bad News Benning]

what's he supposed to be swinging at? a glove?

strikes perhaps. ball wasn't far off the ground when he hit it. It's good that he got a hit but I don't want him swinging at balls out of the zone like he has been. Don't need to expand the strike zone even more....the umps do a good enough job of that already.

 

[Loosie]

one down

 

[mikebel111*]

Nice pitch Mark

 

[Swervin81]

Let's see how often Buck calls him Derek Lowe.

 

[Quares27]

yay Lowe in the game

 

[TF97]

Go take a seat in the truck Cron

 

[TF97]

Ok, I honestly have no idea how to respond to you anymore

Just... don't

 

[TF97]

Let's see how often Buck calls him Derek Lowe.

I'll guess at least twice

 

[tml19]

Lowe really needs to be higher on the depth list in that pen.

 

[TootooTrain]

Ok, I honestly have no idea how to respond to you anymore

I wouldn't be shocked if he's under the influence.

but strikes are still balls. They're certainly not gloves

 

[Longshot]

Lowe really needs to be higher on the depth list in that pen.

Who should he replace?

 

[Loosie]

two down....what kind of swing was that?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Ok, I honestly have no idea how to respond to you anymore

his statement about JD being overrated was sarcasm, dear.
