PrintCleveland Indians at Toronto Blue Jays, Aug 10, 2008 1:07 PM EDT
The Jays sent Kevin Mench down to make room for Wells. The Jay's lineup has changed ince I first saw it up on MLB.com, Scoot was in right field then and Wilk was on the bench. I suppose this is better, but was interested to watch Scoot play the outfield. You really can't get worse than Wilk's bat in RF and against a strong lefty should be that much more fun.
Cliff Lee (15-2, 2.58) is pitching for the sweep for the Indians. Scott Richmond (0-1, 4.91) gets his third start for the Jays. The way we've been batting of late it really doesn't matter that we are facing a very good pitcher, we can make them all look good.
It's good to have Vernon Wells back with the team. It will even be better when he's back playing the outfield, we won't be treated to the sight of Wilk in the lineup everyday. Go Jays, please, we don't want to be .500 again. I'm going to watch the game today so join me in the thread.

I love when commentators talk about a stat they don't understand.
The compared Lee’s numbers with Doc’s and said they were comparable. Then Tabler said there was a little difference in run support. Doc is getting 4.12 runs per game and Lee is getting 5.87. That is not a little difference, that’s a huge difference
That's because Rios and Overbay have 2 2-out hits each
and Wells and Wilkerson are batting behind them.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I like them talking about how Garko reacted to being taking out of a game for not hussling..
is there an slight dig at Cito for not doing the same with Rios?
Tabler spents five minutes saying what a good idea that bunt was for Eck......
got first two guys on….why do we want to play for one run at that point….let’s get a few
Eckstein isn't going to hit a 3 run homer
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
because we have an even harder time scoring with one
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
53% GB rate for Eckstein
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I guess if you have given up on the idea that we can score the bunt is ok.....I hate it with two one...
but man if you don’t like Eck’s bat then don’t bat him second.
I don't like Eckstein's bat
and I wouldn’t bat him second.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
You mean can't?
And you can’t trust Rios in that spot.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
JP really is in a bad spot. Do you figure that Rios will start hitting with power again next year?
or is he a punch and judy hitter for the rest of his career?
I keep hearing JP say they are close, but they are only close if Rios hits like he did last year
and Wells hits like 2006 and Overbay like 2006. Hill like last year and Rolen like 2005 and Rolen like 2004. What are the odds of that happening?
Overbay could hit like 2004 or 2005
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
There was a line from a scout.....
The toughest thing for a scout? "Deciding whether what you see in a player now is what he is and not thinking back to what he was before they began steroid testing."
Barajas strikes out.
you think sooner or later Jamie will realize he’s talked about how great the other teams start has thrown almost every game. Maybe time to stop saying how great they are and start saying how lousy we are
Against lefties?
He actually has platoon splits, unlike our other righties.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rolen to the DL
So I guess that means we’re calling up our stud 3B prospec—OH WAIT!
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
