[PanniniClaus]

Pull Shoe at 5...go to an outfield shift that must be written in a trusty book somewhere...It is frustrating...Cash always seems to get one over on us.

Cmon Dolis

 

[canucksfan]

Jays seem to feel that Shoe can only go through a lineup twice...Borucki needs a big inning here.

Problem I have, Shoemaker could have gone another inning at least. They are always whining about a worn out bullpen but they pull guys too early.

 

[Puckstuff]

I still can't get over Biggio batting 8th

 

[Discoverer]

Anyone looked at Jose Martinez's spray chart on balls in the air against lefties? Because there was absolutely nothing wrong with that defensive alignment. Sometimes you play the odds and it doesn't work out.

Did that spray chart take into account pitches inside? Where else was he going to hit that ball?

I agree. we like to get cute...especially when we play Tampa

Uh... the pitch was on the outside corner.

 

[Puckstuff]

wow nice job Dolis

 

[PanniniClaus]

Uh... the pitch was on the outside corner.

I think you are right..a change on the outer half at 84.5.. Perhaps that's why I was fooled...seeing how easy he was able to square it up and pull it.

Thanks be to Dolis

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh god, Cavan's never coming out of the 8-hole now, is he?

 

[canucksfan]

Stop bunting!

 

[The Nemesis]

Stop bunting!

It's applicable to both!

 

[The Nemesis]

Bunting with 2 strikes?

FFS.

 

[canucksfan]

Put in Tellez for Espinal if you have no confidence in him.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

Good thing Espinal didn’t ground into a dp...

"that's some pretty good arms"

Heath Hembree: 5.59 ERA, 5.08 xFIP
Brandon Workman: 4.05 ERA, 4.04 xFIP

Yes, small sample size and reliever swinginess disclaimers. But still...

only Font and Yamaguchi have ERAs equal or worse than them.

Well... we just saw what the Phillies pen is like right now.

 

[The Nemesis]

Rowdy Tellez grabbed his groin?

Are they sure it wasn't McGuire?

 

[Gargyn]

Why was Jansen batting 3rd? Reward for not being quite as shitty as his jerk-off partner?

Charlie-ball.

 

[The Nemesis]

You and all of us, Siddall.

 

[Gargyn]

Charlie-ball.

I defended this guy for a long time but now I’m seeing what everyone else was seeing. Guy makes such weird, correct that, stupid decisions. I really like Shapiro and Atkins so hopefully they have a chat with the guy or just shitcan him.

"Charlie..." *places hand on Montoyo's shoulder.* "Have you tried...not sucking?"

 

[canucksfan]

Great throw from McGuire
