Listening to wilner on baseball central, I actually agree with him. I'd want to pitch Stroman after dickey.

Just the Idea of Price-Dickey-Stroman in a playoff series, could do some damage to batters.

 

[Tony Romo]

Also this was announced earlier right?

[napoleon in rags]

Weird **** happens at Fenway.

 

[TootooTrain]

Weird **** happens at Fenway.

Agreed. For example sometimes a Boston pitcher allows less than 4 runs.

 

[The Nemesis]

Aww, I was hoping this thread would be named "a team full of baseball players"

 

[BertCorbeau]

Porcello has been really good in his two starts off of the DL, only 1 run .. Struck out 13, allowing only 1 run in 8 innings pitched against the Yankees in his last start.

Should not be taken lightly

 

[Canada4Gold]

Should have had the thread title something related to stroman

I failed

Couldn't think of anything clever... You can change it though, I won't be offended

Please don't change it to that.

Playing obtuse to what Buck means when he says "a ball player" was fun once or twice, but it wore itself out a long time ago.

Stroman strikes out first batter, two runners on.

 

[Bigleaf]

This actually matters: Stroman had to come off mound quickly to field a swinging bunt; got the lead runner at third. No issues. #BlueJays

@ArdenZwelling 1m1 minute ago
Stroman ends his first inning allowing three singles but no runs as the Bisons cut down the runner at home with ease. #BlueJays

 

[TheOtherSide]

Even the green monster thinks our team is impressive.

 

[Muston Atthews]

That pre-game video was pretty cool

Stroman's fastball velocity sat 91-92 in the first according to the radar gun at McCoy Stadium. Dunno how reliable it is tho. #BlueJays

 

[Bigleaf]

3 run shot for the O's, now up 3-1 over the Yankees.

Little low for him isn't it?

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Mvp! Mvp! Mvp!

 

[TootooTrain]

Stroman

Swinging strikeout
Walk
Walk
Single

Bases loaded 1 out.

 

[theaub]

Induced GIDP ball but poor throw

 

[TootooTrain]

Force out at 2nd that should have been a double play. Run scores.
Rbi single.

At 51 pitches now.

Swinging strikeout finishes off the long inning.

 

[91Kadri91*]

Bases loaded, nobody out.

Stroman's struggling with command, which is abnormal.

Edit: Make that one out- swinging strikeout.
