Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays, Jul 28, 2008 7:07 PM EDT
The Jays haven't had a fun time playing the Rays this season; they are 2-7 vs the Rays. If Rays make the playoffs they should send us a nice card or something. Hopefully it turns around tonight.
AJ pitchers against James Shields (9-6, 3.66). Shields is 3-1 this month with a 3.49 ERA and he is 4-0, 2.40 in his career against us. AJ is 3-2 with a 4.68 ERA for July. Once again he may be making his last start for us.
I'd like to see Lind a little higher than 8th in the order, considering Rolen and Barajas haven't been hitting at all this month. Jays have won their last 5 series at home....if they want to get close we need to win this one. A sweep would put them just 5.5 games back from the Rays with 58 games left. A little way back but not insurmountable.
I should get to watch most of the game tonight....Join me in the Game Thread.

Just saw a little sound bite with JP saying today that AJ isn't going anywhere.....
Course that would mean more to me if I didn’t think JP was a liar

the rumour is the Jays will offer to add a couple of million a season to AJ's contract if he will stay

While I've been happy the way AJ's been pitching lately
the cynic in me thinks that he is only performing this well because he knows he is in a walk year. I fear that if we resign him for a multi-year deal, he will immediately revert back to being the maddeningly inconsistent AJ of old.
Also, while he may be a very good deal at $11mil, is he really worth $15+, which is what I estimate the total value of the deal could end up being?

the difference
between a 3run lead and a 4run lead is not as great as a 2run to 3run, in my opinion. no idea what the stats say

the wpa of a sac bunt be here?

the numbers say
don’t do it. IIRC, it’s only beneficial to sac bunt as the home team, tied or down 1 in the 7th or later. Though the numbers may be different given that here it would be s squeeze, so the sacrifice would tack on an extra run to our lead.

I wonder how often
back-to-back triples happen. Gotta be significantly less frequent than back-to-back jacks, but I wonder what the frequency is
by SuckaMD on Jul 28, 2008 9:20 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
or
as John Sterling would say BACK TO BACK AND BELLY TO BELLY triples.
