PrintBoston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays, May 31, 2009 1:07 PM EDT
Thanks to They Might Be Giants for today's thread. Likely the site could sustain itself on nothing by TMBG lyrics.
So, you're pretty excited about the Jays taking two games from the Sox so far this series, and of course you want a sweep, but you just can't conjure up quite as much hate for the opposing fans that you used to be able to back in the days of Schilling? Have no fear, Joanna has your back. I have to say, that level of douchery is impressive even for the Nation. Someone, please ask Rolen about that sometime....
Anyway, back to the task at hand. Ricky Romero pitches for the Jays today while Jon Lester goes for Boston. Lester has really been hit and home run unlucky this season so far, though he pitched well against the Jays in the Fenway series. Romero had an up and down outing last time out and looks to eliminate the down part this time. The Sox are tough on lefties so Ricky will have to make his pitches and use his whole arsenal to succeed.
The Jays send out the expected lineup against the lefty, while the Sox use JD Drew against Romero and bat him second, with Rocco Baldelli apparently still feeling the effects of his collision with the wall yesterday.

wouldn't surprise me
though I wouldn’t mind seeing Richmond get a crack at it either
"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
yes
though League, at least, hasn’t used many pitches either 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
Downs actually
has thrown even less pitches than League (19 for Downs, 21 for League), so it’s not too much of a stretch for them both to pitch today.
"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
you could say the same for League
he didn’t pitch in that last Baltimore game, but he warmed up for a long time and so threw a lot of pitches that 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
hope not
i think the Jays need to use bullpen more judiciously than they have been … the practice of constantly using the same reliever who recently did well until he gets completely worn out has proven to be flawed IMHO … after 2 consecutive appearances, it is time to give League a break
so let's put up a 7 run lead
then we won’t have to use our high leverage guys
come on Pavano
shut out the Yankees!
"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 was quick
"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 was anyone else
really annoyed by that Rolen stuff?
"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 really pissed me 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
sounds like complete bull sh*t
I cannot speak to whether Rolen has any negative views on Millar or Clemens but the rest of that comments certainly lack credibility so it casts much doubt on those and other comments
implying that Rolen is just going though the motions is completely bogus … if you ever go watch the guy play, it is obvious he is busting a gut for the team … when he is on the bases he is always chugging real real hard which has to be tough for a man his size
Rolen’s defensive play this year has been great
last year Rolen was injured alot and missed many games … this year he come back strong … either he is very lucky or did a lot of work in the offseason … in some interviews, he talked about how he worked on his shoulder positioning for at -bats … this would support the idea that he worked alot on his game in the offseason which is the mark of a true professional, and not someone going through the motions
bottom line, Rolen’s actions on the field certainly contradict the contents of that web page which, as such, make that page seem like a bunch of libelous crap
personally, if i had to pick three (non-pitchers) best playing their roles this year, I would pick Hill, Scutaro and Rolen
definitely
"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
no question
maybe Millar was thinking about how much he loves playing in Boston and wanted to help them out a bit
too much of the plate that time
for a 2-strike pitch
"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 was 3-2
cant necessarily go too far out of the zone, especially with a guy like Bay up
that's true
if you throw a breaking pitch for a strike on a 3-2, that’s about all you can ask for
"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
that is part of having control type pitchers instead of the AJ-type power pitchers. You get to 2 strikes more but can’t always put the hitters away
"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 part of it is also
out pitchers generally get ahead of hitters so they are often hitting with two strikes. Our starters’ K/BB ratio is tops in all of baseball, pretty impressive
"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

me neither
oh well, Rolen worked the walk anyway. Obviously phoning it in…
"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
Rolen is so lazy
he won’t even try to hit his way on base
But Millar helps out his favourite club
but striking out
it was slow enough that Rolen might
have been able to break it up, except that he doesn’t care, so he wouldn’t have tried…

good pitching by Lester

"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 mind strike out... but I hate strike 3's when they're looking
That was a nice pitch to Bautista… but the ones on Millar and Lind were pretty much piped…

Great play from Rolen to get Youk

God Rolen
Run harder, turn it faster and get the double play.
So lazy to just get the one out.

Hey Damaso's
can you explain your name for me (and anyone else who is curious)? I’m a little young to remember the Damaso Garcia era, and it seems like there’s probably a funny story behind the name
Way back in 1986
Damaso Garcia had a particularly bad day in an awful start to the 1986 season. He got so frustrated that he freaked out and took a can of lighter fluid to his uniform and torched it in the clubhouse to the surprise of all his teammates.

It wasn't exactly a shining moment in Jays History
The Jays of 86 were under Jimy One M and started crappy. Tom was right about him refusing to move out of the leadoff spot (Tony Fernandez was showing his stuff.)

Damnit.
I hate Pedroia
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
he missed high and away with it just previously .. and it was obviously a hitter’s pitch
so waht does he do next
serves up the same pitch but this time right in the heart of strike zone
i mean .. what the heck were they thinking?
man I am fuming
that was so bad
first off, it is the type of pitch that can be tagged for extra bases
second, you gave the guy a look at it just previously
so what do you do … serve it up again? come on … really
that was ridiculous
that pitch should have been low or inside … anything but what was served up
i mean, do you do down the list of pitch options and pick the absolute worst one and they serve it up
sheesh
he clearly missed his spot
I’m pretty sure noone told him to throw a pitch down the middle of the plate, belt high

Time to chase Lester

Wow
Scooter gets rung up on a pitch high and outside, but Romero walks guys on pitches well within the zone
and it looked like that 3-1 pitch to Hill was good
but Hill walks
This is two consecutive Lester starts against us
where he got a favourable strike zone.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
4 more chances for the Jays
to score 5+ runs … can they do it?
2n inning is where Richmond
has in recent history been hit … but so far so good
it was really just two starts
he got hit very hard in the second inning in both of those, but other than that he’s been fine
yep
and he is looking good today
bodes well for his next start
now if we could give him a couple runs
would be even better
The Angels
series looks tough … hope the Jays can snag 2 of 3
Don't we usually play well against the Angels?

I think if you pinch hit with Overbay
you’re susceptible to his platoon splits later, where Millar’s platoon splits are less sever even if he isn’t a righty masher.

ya, that's true

generous call to K Lowell
said he foul tipped it into the glove
question
if a batter hits a foul tip with 2 strikes and the ball becomes lodged in the catcher’s equipment, is the batter out? What if the ball bounces off the catcher’s mitt/body, but he manages to catch it before it hits the ground (either on purpose or accidentally)?
Does anyone know? I’ve wondered this for a long time but haven’t been able to get an answer yet

unclutch Rios hits a home run

Rios
almost had a tater on Friday (missed by feet or inches)
multiple xtra base hits yesterday
and a tater today
good to see the power
Rios’ tater might not be meaningful for this game, but in the bigger picture, the emergence of his bat could be very significant
finished May with a respectable OPS of .868 for the month
let’s hope he can carry that forward into some wins in June
