Blue Jays GDT: (2017 v6.0) SEASON FINALE @ NYY|Sun, Oct 1| 3pmET/12pmPT | Anderson vs Montgomery

[Eyedea]

He has looked good, but it's also 38 PAs of him riding a .400+ babip. I'd love for him to become the next Jose Ramirez, but I'd also prefer he started in AAA next season and the Jays exhaust all possibilities in hopes of finding a legitimate MIF to shoulder a heavy burden as a backup to Tulo/Travis.

 

[Discoverer]

He's shaping up to be a great lead-off man

Now THAT is an overreaction.

 

[The Nemesis]

I was just about to say that the broadcast hadn't mentioned the Canadians' title.

what the hell

 

[canucksfan]

Morales is so slow. It always amazes me.

Beckham looks perplexed with Ramirez's pitching

 

[TF97]

Unfortunately Jose misses out on one last matchup with O'Day as a Blue Jay

Beckham looks perplexed with Ramirez's pitching

It's kinda unreal. He still has not allowed a run and just one hit in 9IP in Sep. WTF?

It will be interesting to see if the hitters catch on.

They will, but how much? He is not going to go all of his career without allowing a run, or is he?

Probably not, I'm expecting a <1.00 ERA performance next year but I'm probably being a bit pessimistic.

 

[canucksfan]

Urena is having troubles with the breaking balls.

 

[The Nemesis]

A+ buckism tonight

"Get up ball, get up! And..... it's not gonna go."

 

[The Nemesis]

God you suck, Bautista. You suck so, so much. I can't want for someone else to have your job next year.

 

[The Nemesis]

"baseball reference predicted the Twins would suck and yet they don't entirely suck as much as the computer said they would. Take that stats. You can't spreadsheet TWTW."



In reality Buck never said anything after the part about how the Twins haven't really sucked. But I think we all know he was thinking it.

and he's really having trouble with HR judgement on calls.

 

[TootooTrain]

Any deep fly near the warning track, while listening to his pbp, has me thinking it's easily gone.

There are times where I legitimately believe Buck is destroying my ability to judge fly balls. Like, sitting at a Canadians game and someone hits a ball to deep right and I actually have to think about it for a minute instead of recognizing that the RF wall at nat bailey is like 40 feet tall and almost nothing gets over it.



and there's the final stab after the Smoak HR deliciously twisted the knife and staved off a loss for another couple innings.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Hope EE is having fun in Cleveland.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Jays really screwed the pooch this season. How on earth is a team like the Twins sitting in the second wild card spot? What a waste of a season.

 

[The Nemesis]

Way to bunt, Goins.

 

[The Nemesis]

Josh Donaldson is a baseball player

On a scale of Ryan Goins to George Brett, where would you rank Josh Donaldson when it comes to his level of "baseball player"?

I'd rate him at about 0.863 Derek Jeters.


Without adjusting for Jeter's calming influence, of course.

I could be wrong, but I believe you confused Jeters fielding percentage* in his final season for the rating you meant to give Donaldson

*Daniel Murphys Law: You cannot make an error on a ball you cannot get to

 

[Suntouchable13]

I'd suggest Josh lay low for a while because he is probably wanted for murder. That ball was destroyed.
