We haven't been able to hit anybody, so maybe we can tee off against one of the league's best pitchers? Why not?
By the way, John Brattain, who called Gibbons out last year for not making enough use of small ball, is now defending him . He's got an in-depth look at how the Jays have faired in "gimme" situations (runner on third, less than 2 outs), and it's not pretty at all. Brattain was as persuasive last season as I've ever seen anyone arguing for the sac bunt and hit-and-run to be used more, and always has an interesting point of view. If you care to chat on this issue, Bebo's got a great take over in the diaries/fanposts, so let's chat about it there!
On another note, if you haven't watched the last episode of Costas Now, don't, unless you want to see true stupidity in action.

Funny how everyone knows the Red Sox are flu-stricken
while knowing that the Jays are walking wounded (or at least diseased) would explain why we can’t hit line drives. Maybe JP knows people won’t pay to see fluey Jays lose, while the Sox would sell out Fenway with a team of marionettes on the field.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Actually that gives me a good idea for an ad
Rolen in the rafters of the cable box controlling a marionette version of himself and still making highlight reel plays. Probably wouldn’t fit into the ‘Jays as kids’ ads they’ve been running this season, though.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rios gets a 2-0 count and grounds to second
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
x grounds to second
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Best Jay Ever strikes out on a full count
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Strikes out Youk
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lind with a running catch at the monster
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
his D has improved a lot
since his first september callup, he was considered quite good last season in the field by most metrics
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Is this one of those cognitive dissonance things
like with people assuming bad hitting catchers are good defensively because they must be around for a reason?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
just proves
how tough it is to overcome a first impression I guess
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Story of the season
Hard hit ball straight at Youppilis
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
There's no way last year was his real level of play
I think he’s still feeling the flu.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
VW swings at ball 4
grounds to second
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
At least he got it out of the infield
Him and Rolen last night the only ones, right?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
You mean Wells?
Last year he didn’t swing at bad 6th pitches, he swung at bad first pitches.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
After a good start, he's looked terrible....
wondering if the shoulder really was the problem last year….
'after' meaning since this road trip started?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Course I always worry when they sign someone to a long contract after a career year
could be worse…Zito is making a fortune pitching middle relief now….
he wasn't even good
the year before his deal!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Zaun breaks up the perfect game
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
No
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Monday.....he was a Home Run from the cycle......
Slid into third even though he didn’t need to….was surprised it didn’t cause an earthquake in CA
Don't want to waste them
give him enough to win and save the rest for tomorrow
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Oh I'd just love to see them score a bunch
Though I guess 2 would be a bunch the way things are going
how's the game going?
just got back from my run, the weather was nice so I stretched it a bit
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I'm shocked, shocked
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
what a great movie
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Not that shocked
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Did he swing at the first one?
Gameday says it was called.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
At least Stairs is having a good AB
Starting to cheer differently for the Jays….if they work the count I’m happy
what would we do
without Stairs?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Probably not release Frank
or sign Bonds.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
He's actually negative WPA this year
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
hitting well recently though
about the only one…
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Wells walks
RISP? Flail-time!
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
sigh
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Took us 26 outs to get there last night
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
way to look on the bright side
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I think we should be happy with 'good at bats'.....if they work the count, have a drink
Line out…it’s a drink….
Usually with drinking games...
You drink after an event that occurs frequently.
I'm going to need a beer
to sit through this game
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
absolutely
hope Labatt is okay, I’m sentimental that way
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that sounds good
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
my brother
(jessef on this site) makes a killer brown ale
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
same
stouts are my favourite actually, especially during the winter months
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
true
so did Doc yesterday and we saw how that turned out though
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
two bloops?
We had the only extra base hit last night.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
right, I just meant
even a shutout from McGowan is no guarantee we’ll win in 9
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Is this the first game Dusty has been sans-mutton?
or did I somehow fail to notice last time?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
mlb.tv has the NESN feed
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I like Buck too
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
ahh
I have the NESN guys, who I actually like
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
SF bay area
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Washington D.C.
I have extra innings though
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Is neat to hear the game from someone that has never watched baseball before.....
must be some form of brain injury that allows him to keep that up.
it would be like
if I announced Golf
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Still better than John Mayer
“and that happened”
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
John Mayer
is a lot less terrible to me after that Chapelle’s Show episode for some reason
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
It's also not useful
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I think he had the chops last time as well
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Hill flies to the warning track
admittedly, the track at the monster.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lind only has one strikeout so far this year
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
As long as he's not striking out his chances are as good as they could be
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
well
hitters have some control over whether their balls in play end up as hits, though some of it is just foot speed
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
but what is most important
is probably his approach at the plate
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I wish our alternate unis were blue
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
he doesn't have great command
of his fastball, but it has a ton of movement and good velocity so he gets away with it
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I throw a great batting practice fastball
can still get up to 80+, right over the plate every time
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
At least we figure to see their pen at some point
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Come on X
Or, as I have nicknamed him, Scrappy Doo
time for some scrappiness
grit your way on, X
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Help us get to the bullpen
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
a gritty pop fly
is still a pop fly
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
it's really hard
not to love Rolen right now
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I don't think he's going to see a pitch to hit
with Wells on deck.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Dice
over 100 pitches, maybe we’ll see someone else, not that it’s likely to matter
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
If I wasn't optimistic
I wouldn’t be watching.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I still have hope
though perhaps just a fool’s hope. But the pitching looks great lately and you have to think the bats will somewhat come around.
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I watched during the Erik Hanson era
So optimism is clearly not a criterion for me
I've watched forever....like to see how the young pitchers do....but I'm quickly losing hope.
Hope to be wrong but it has to change soon
Granted I was about 11 at the time
So maybe I just didn’t know any better
heh
or had nothing better to do
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
They lost me at the strike
I came back mid-2005, so I missed the worst of the worst.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
2004 was unbelievably painful
way worse than last year, or this year so far
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
there were high hopes in 2004 as well
after a surprisingly good 2003
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
We've been told that every year since JP started
Haven’t we?
I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying it the year he was trying to get rid of Delgado
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
You're right
But I’ve definitely heard the refrain several times before
That Mike Wilmer (sp?) said the other day that he'd bet the Jays will finish 10 games better than the A's
Am starting to think I’d take that bet…..
that's game
I’m afraid
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Ugh, game over
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Uh oh, now a 2-out double
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Dusty
got Moss to end the inning at least, but 1 run seems pretty insurmountable right now
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Will he be stranded at third?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I've taken to calling McGowan
No-run DMC.
My brother came up with the nickname, I quite like it.
Well we can't call him Lambchops anymore
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
how many drinks would that be worth?
I’m think a jager bomb at least
I will certainly drain my glass
if they actually score a run
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Considering Okajima was warming up?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
interesting
that they’re not going to Okajima for Lind
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Maybe because he's a natural lefty
lefties aren’t as effective against him as against natural righties who hit lefty.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Lind doesn't really hit lefties well though
even in the minors, he hasn’t quite learned the skill yet
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that's gotta feel pretty good
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Maybe he'll steal second
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
To third on a throwing error and home on a squeeze?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
The Inglett one?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I'd try again
with X
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
He just fouled twice
It’s not like the bunt was the problem, it was Inglett’s failure to drop it down.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And now Okajima is in to face Zaun?
I’m confused
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
clearly
the Sox are toying with us
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Should've homered off Delcarmen
while we had the chance
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Of course moving Zaun to the other side
means he can shoot for the monster. Unfortunately he might.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
attaway, Zaunnie!!!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Squeeze with Rios?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
i'd be shocked
if they tried that
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Move Scoot (PR) to third
and then squeeze again with x.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I do think they'll try it w/ X
if Rios Ks or pops out
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
cmon Lexi
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Rios
gets the run in, but Scoot is unable to tag to 3rd
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
how could he not move up?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
horrible baserunning
with no outs, you have to hang back to tag
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Johnny Mac would have tagged
Might have tried to score.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
what an at-bat by Eckstein
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Remy from NESN thinks it was generous
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
cmon Rolen
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Well, here comes the greatest Jay.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
this is a new reason to lose
I was afraid we were running out of them
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
So 0 for 4?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Mockingbird
is going to go to town on the ump tomorrow, the Sox get so many cheap calls it is ridiculous
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
McGowan still in
why not?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Well you can expect extras now.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
hopefully that means
snakeface is healthy
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I assume Accardo and Downs are for mix-and-match
and save Cy to go 3.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Accardo's been pretty good lately, hasn't he?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Better against righties, lefties, or both?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
wow
X owes Lyle for that one
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
sigh
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Guh... walks Lugo
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
C'mon double play
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
not the way to start the at-bat
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I guess that was a good result
now just need to get Youkilis, a difficult task
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
whew
Accardo made us sweat, but got out of it. any chance we actually score again?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Well we got the shutdown inning
If Cy gets beat in the next three innings you pretty much have to tip your hat.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
if only we could've scored that runner from 2nd with no out
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
So it's Stairs, first pitch infield fly, and Overbay due up
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Stairs starts us off well
solid hit
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Mac running for Stairs
again precluding his use as a defensive replacement
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
can't we use Scutaro for Stairs
so we can at least get Mac in at SS?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Double something
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Wells should not be encouraged
to swing at the first pitch. He does it enough on his own
Last year he was terrible when he put the first pitch in play
This year his OPS is 1.200-ish when he does it.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Interestingly he's worse on 1-2 than 0-2
but small samples all around.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Pretty bad 2-2 also
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
clarification
that was in response to Tabler suggesting that Wells go after the first pitch
this is a new one
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I suppose that
would’ve been a dp anyway
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
And look at VW roll his eyes
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
cmon Lyle
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
time for the soul-crushing defeat
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Ortiz bunt home run?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
maybe Wells
can bobble another ball with the slowest man in the majors running and a great chance to throw himout
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that's the thing about baseball
your heart can get broken again every day
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
now
let’s see if Ortiz gets pinch-run for and the pinch-runner gets picked off
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Hill rubbing his nose
I think I saw him coughing during last night’s game.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Aw, c'mon, Downs!
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
how badly
does Gibbons hate Frasor?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
He screws up every time he gets a chance
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
okay, but then why carry him on the roster?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Lowell is 3 for 6 against Downs?
That doesn’t sound like playing the matchups.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Okay, there's an out
Now for the double play
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Hmmmm my boy may have mono.....just figured it out....
not that it has anything to do with the game…..
that's terrible, I hope he feels better
my bro had it in college and it was pretty awful
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Wells
actually makes the throw this time
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
of course, still far from over
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Throw was in time
but offline
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
what an ending
I in no way saw that coming
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
JotD
Dustin, and thank God I will not be around for tomorrow’s game
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
What about Accardo? He worked out of a pretty tough jam.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And Zaun? His double was huge.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I usually only give 1 at most
when the team loses
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
