OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

it was a comment on the "three true outcomes" kind of hitter.

either they walk, strikeout, or hit a homer.

I understand what you are saying but Rasmus is not in that league.

You know what, whatever, I'm not going to debate this further. It is so crazy to begin with.

 

[zeke]

there's nothing to debate. he wasn't saying rasmus was as good as Dunn used to be.

No, you you are right Zeke he didn't say he was like Adam Dunn in his prime.

Rasmus does K a lot, but he also walks too...sort of Adam Dunn like

thank you for getting it.....some people don't know what sort of means.

JPA just homers or K's

I don't like having JPA hit 4th. He's rocking a .250OBP - In a perfect world I have him 6th or 7th.

lol @ JPA trying to pull the down and away (by 2 feet) snider 3 straight times. dumbest hitter in baseball..

How are the Yankees in 1st place again?

 

[Deckie007]

They keep beating us, which helps. Also, they are getting some help from umpires. See below.

 

[MindzEye]

Robot umpires...

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Wow that's worse than usual.

 

[MindzEye]

How are the Yankees in 1st place again?

Because 3 of their best 4 bats were broken down veteran cast offs who decided to roll back the clock 6-7 years. Hafner, Overbay, & Wells have combined for 22 home runs so far this year....that's one less than Joey, Edwin, & Lawrie have combined for.

 

[Alfamale]

most of our team just keeps swinging for the fences...

Consistency.

Consistency.

Well done. You reminded me of one of the greatest sports blogs of all times. firejoemorgan.com

excerpt

Nick (Brooklyn ,NY): Hey Joe, I just wanted to get your opinion on the Yankees. They've been a little shaky lately since losing Joba, How do you think the last month and a half is going to turn out for them ?

Joe Morgan: They've been shaky in general. The trade that sent Farnsworth has made them unreliable in the 8th inning, and their starting pitching needs to be more consistent, like Mussina has been and Joba was. Their offense hasn't been consistent either. They'll have a good game, a couple of poor games, then another good game--they just haven't been consistent.

Look at how many "consistent"s we have. Here. I'll reprint that, and bold the "consistent"s.

Stroman's first start after serving his suspension, at AA today - 5IP 4H 0ER 1BB 6K

should move quickly brring any setbacks

They're using him as a starter? Interesting.

Always thought that he profiled more as a closer if anything given his small stature and velocity.

 

[zeke]

people say he should probably relieve basically because he's short.

they're gonna give him every opportunity to start until he proves he can't.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

especially going into next season where Dickey and Morrow appear to be the only sure things in the rotation

ie - wait til his little arm blows up.
