Listening to Buck and Pat is nauseating

*breathy laugh*

Listening to Buck and Pat is nauseating

"He is a baseball player, Buck!"

 

[The Nemesis]

"He is a baseball player, Buck!"

30 seconds later...

Buck: "You know what I think? I think that he's just a baseball player."

 

[rimshot]

Having Biagini in the pen is such a valuable asset. Should have been there to start the year.

He should have never been given a shot at the big payday SP role?

What Pat says: "Mike Trout hit like .200 when he came to hte big leagues"

What actually happened: Mike Trout hit .220 in a small 40-game sample in his rookie year. Then he went full Trout and started destroying pitchers and never looked back.

If you're an MLB rookie and your initial call-up adjustment/struggle period is as short as Mike Trout's you're damn lucky.

Not to mention he was 19.

Derek Jeter. Drink

Borucki is already 3rd in fWAR for the Jays pitching staff with 3 starts (two against Astros and Yanks) under his belt.

Borucki is already 3rd in fWAR for the Jays pitching staff with 3 starts (two against Astros and Yanks) under his belt.

He has been very impressive in his few starts so far.

 

[Cleetus]

why must we keep Clippard the guy is garbage.

 

[trellaine201]

Poor Clifford

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am not really impressed with Solarte. The guy just swings for the fences all the time and barely ever hustles.

 

[The Nemesis]

Dunno if I'll be home when the game starts, so I wanted to fix the thread and bump it because it was back a few pages.

"So and so has never seen a fastaball he doesn't like" I hate that. What an insightful comment. Like any player doesn't like hitting a fastball

When you find a guy who never sees a fastball he doesn't like, you know he's a baseball player.

Also, Luke Maile's hero run is dead and buried. He's .200 or lower since May. wRC+ of 76, 93, -43 in May through July-to-date.

What an ugly inning.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Maile and Gaviglio have turned to pumpkins.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Petricka will have to bat next inning unless they want to burn through a lot of pitchers tonight.

 

[The Nemesis]

Maile and Gaviglio have turned to pumpkins.

Gaviglio hasn't been irredeemably awful. He probably should slot into the swingman role sooner or later though to accommodate keeping Borucki up for now when others come off the DL.

Maile can vanish though. Martin can be the D-first backup/platoon with Jansen.

Random baseball thought: I wonder if they even put garbage cans in dugouts or if it's just "man you're a millionaire, just throw your crap on the floor"

 

[The Nemesis]

EDIT: balls, I jinxed it.

There are garbage cans. I've seen them before (like that highlight of the one guy in a dugout that kept almost getting hit by foul balls so he took the lid of one of the cans and wore it like a helmet to shield himself). But I guess it's just "tradition" to let guys spit their sunflower shells all over the place, so they just don't care.

Yeah I get the sunflower seeds but they showed a shot of the dugout yesterday and there's probably 30 gatorade cups and other assorted garbage just rolling around on the floor. It's not something I hadn't seen before, I just never really gave it any thought until last night. Maybe someday we'll hear of a guy slipping on some garbage on a wet dugout floor and tearing his groin. A bit of a 'the team is way out of playoff contention kind of observation I guess'

 

[Suntouchable13]

I find it hilarious how Happ has pitched quite better than Price over the whole season.

 

[canucksfan]

I like how Gurriel hustles all the time on the bases.
