OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[Killer93]

Need more from JD/Joey/EE/Tulo; should be crushing these guys

 

[MindzEye]

If Revere is going to be cemented into the leadoff spot, could he at least have a few decent AB's? He's consistently swinging at pitches out of the zone and ending up with ****ing dribblers....

 

[LeafOfFaith]

with the lefty up, and the fact that goins hasn't had a hit yet... i'da started pennington.

He's there for his D more than his bat.

Pennington sucks at both.

Toronto Blue Jays led the major leagues in home runs. They are a home run hitting ballclub. Second place was the Houston Astros. You know what they are? A home run hitting ballclub. ****ing deal with it.

Guess this is to me. I feel like it's pretty silly to act like they can't get runs any other way.

 

[Killer93]

Donaldson, Bautista, EE due; gotta make something happen

No team scores 100% of their runs via the long ball, not even those who depend almost exclusively on the home run. It's true that the Jays walk a lot and keep the strikeouts down, but they rarely bunt or steal and don't do a whole lot of situational hitting. It's basically a throwaway comment by the commentator, just nothing worth getting upset over because we have good power hitters who look to drive the ball and who do tend to hit a lot of home runs. These three guys coming up are not hoping to drive a single to the opposite field. They're hoping to hit the ball hard and if they square it up, drive it out of the ballpark.

Incorrect. Pennington is a plus glove at 2B & 3B, and an average glove at SS.

At the plate, Pennington is much better against lefties than Goins is.

I'm not upset. I just don't like them.

:shrug

Heh. And he makes that Canadian/foul balls comment as I type that.

Donaldson starting to put good swings on pitches.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Did this shmuck just tell us that we here in Canada are more apt to get hit with foul balls because we don't understand baseball?

Holy ****.

 

[LeafGm]

Alright, let's make them pay for this intentional walk.

 

[Metalleaf]

Harold Reynolds saying we don't play baseball in Canada...what the ****?!

 

[axlsalinger]

Alright, let's make them pay for this intentional walk.

Agreed. Let's go Cola. Runner on 3rd with less than two outs. And we're scuffling to score. Gotta find a way to get Josh home.

Holy ****.

I agree, glad I'm not the only one who thought this was an incredibly stupid comment.

Holy ****.

I heard it too! WTF!

Holy ****.

Canadians just aren't use to catching foul balls according to that guy lollll

 

[ForeverTML]

Why not put Pompey as baserunner there for EE?

 

[axlsalinger]

Sacks are drunk. TOOLO TIME!

 

[Killer93]

Tulo lets go

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Way too early to take out EE
