PrintToronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers, Jun 11, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Okay, so after last night's rainout, the Jays will again look for their season-best-tying fourth straight win and the series sweep against the Texas Rangers. The Jays will once again attempt to turn to Ricky Romero, who seemed to straighten himself out a bit last time out against K.C. and the Rangers look to Kevin Millwood to end their recent slide. It was mentioned last night that Millwood's 2.96 ERA thus far this season has been largely the result of good luck (he has a 4.95 FIP), so hopefully that luck runs out tonight against a well-rested Jays team ready to bop a couple into the seats.
Johnny Mac is once again denied playing time because of last night's postponement. Marco Scutaro, who had been given the day off before the rainout yesterday, is back in the lineup tonight and leads off. Barajas gets the night off with Raul Chavez doing the catching and batting ninth.
It would be very nice to take this one tonight and go back home for the series against the Marlins after a sweep, but however tonight's game goes, any road series win is a good thing, and the performance we saw out of Casey Janssen on Tuesday was particularly encouraging. See you all in the thread and, as always, Let's Go Jays!

Time to get the miniature brooms out, boys
it’s not a real sweep with a rainout
still a three-game series, though
a four-game sweep is a long one

I thought I'd be able to predict the title for tonight's thread
figured you’d go with “It’s flooding down in Texas/All the telephone lines are down” from Stevie Ray Vaughan. But that may be too well known a source for you
Ahh
Well, I wasn’t trying to be obscure. I mean, I did pick a Bruce Springsteen song. That would have been an excellent choice as well, though

oh, I didn't pick up the Springsteen reference
which song is that from?

off his first album . . . a great song actually

Scoot with a first pitch out.... uhh

Scooter
seems to be swinging at first pitches more often lately. May not be a terrible idea, since he’s probably getting a lot of fastballs, but he was so good at working counts earlier in the season
Probably thought it looked good.

ya, I agree
I thought it looked good too. Not necessarily a bad idea, but earlier in the season he wasn’t swinging at those pitches and was still getting on base a lot
yeah I think I mentioned the other day
that it seems like he’s managed to compensate for a dropping walk-rate with an increasing hit-rate. seems like it would be easier to do that the other way around, though
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

wells seems to hit the balls and take the strikes :)
no runs
but Millwood seems to be wild and not missing bats, bodes well for the future.
Let’s see what Ricky can do
Cito said
Scoot’s been the best SS in the AL?
though I can’t disagree
Prehistoric Hoops - a neat little Raps blog
so far this season
he almost certainly has been
True, but he's been out
and Scoot’s been good
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
true
but scoot’s D, combined with his injury would make it close

Bartlett is a great defensive SS too
was brought in as an all glove, no bat guy , but seems to have figured out the hitting part thus far this year
Bartlett had declined every year of his career defensively
according to UZR.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

0-2 pitches often have to be perfect

"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I don't know if they are my least favourite band ever
but I’m with you that they are extremely overrated
if you were looking at
the ratio of how much a band is played on the radio to how much I like them, Aerosmith would have to be near the top. AC/DC, too. And Journey (especially “Don’t Stop Believin”)
My biggest problem with don't stop believing
is people think they are being ironic

i just thought that wasn’t the best example to use, is all… we’re all frustrated
Prehistoric Hoops - a neat little Raps blog
but that's baseball
hitting the ball hard is most likely to result in a hit; sometimes it’s right at someone and results in a lucky out (like there). Soft hits are less likely to go for hits, but sometimes they find a hole for a hit. That doesn’t mean that hitting the ball soft every time is the way to go.
Do you think he's going to be like this all season?
Really, I think it’s great we’re right up there and our 3/4 have been the funk
what was wrong with that hit?
if not for a lucky and dumb barehand stab by Millwood, thats a hit for sure
I'll take it if it means he's out early
And we get a shot at their bullpen right away.

What about Lind?
He didn’t drive in a run either.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Oh no's
To bad Linds good season makes up for that, keep on keeping on though, you always do that.
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
So because of Lind's season so far
His inability to drive in some runs in the first is not the same as Wells’s and he therefore did not cost us the game but Wells may have?
Doesn't mean he didn't cost us this game exactly as much as Wells did
by which I mean 4% of this game each.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
also
it’s a 1-0 game and barely half over. Many more Jays will cost us the game if the score doesn’t change
"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
Yeah except you can't expect a batter to drive in runs at every opportunity
With Wells, you can never expect it. I love the people that continue to tell me to wait until Wells heats up. Its been two months already, a 15 million dollar player should be heated up once April hits. Keep it up though, its highly amusing.
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
Well, he was the team's best offensive player last year
But I guess that doesn’t mean anything
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Why would it mean something for this year? How does that even make any sense?
$15,000,000 plus cleanup= I don’t give a hit what he did last year, it should happen every year.

"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
The point is you are saying you can never expect him to drive runners in
obviously you could expect it last year, when he was the team’s best offensive player.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Wells has 28 RBIs this year
and as has been established, that is inadequate for a “number 4 hitter”. but still, that’s 28 more than 0. and just because you keep telling yourself he never drives them in, doesn’t make it true

before the snap throw was not a strike. I think the ump forgot to raise his arm watching the throw down to first

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Frank Francisco is still day-to-day with a strained shoulder. He said he wasn’t available to pitch Wednesday and won’t be Thursday, either. Manager Ron Washington did not say whether Francisco would be the closer when he is healthy, but said left-hander C.J. Wilson is the closer for now. “I’m not going to get into that right now,” Washington said. “We’ll just have to wait and see how effective Frankie is when he comes back to throw. It’s not certain that he’s going to be the closer and it’s not certain that he’s not going to be the closer. I can’t make that determination until he throws.”

she lives about an hour or so out of town....
and she leaves late at night…on a road with a lot of deer…as I’m new at this part of being a father, feels funny to me to say ‘you have her stay over if it is late’
LOL
Best not to think of those things. I remember the first time my girlfriend stayed the night with me at my parents – my mom just says “Be a gentleman.” Whatever that meant.

dang it VW
he is just not getting his arms extended … it looks like a terrible swing
yeah
I thought it would be a good at-bat when he got ahead 2-0, but far from it

but, the Jays win 2 of 3
a series at a time is how the jays took the AL lead before the slide, and likely will be how they catch it again
good series Jay
nice outting Romeo
well
it’s still a series win on the road. And if our non-Doc pitching is like this, we’re going to win a lot of games

just frustrating on the overall
because of how many runs we scored previously
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
or, as hugo said a few weeks ago
would rather lose every game the rest of the season than be a red sox fan
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
it was so unclutch
allowing the pitcher to make a fantastic play like that

well, good night everyone
not only is there another game tomorrow, but Doc!

if he gets run support like romero's, it doesn't matter who it is though, unfortunately
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
we had some pretty good offensive showings this week though
so hopefully just a blip on the radar

you guys think that Lind coulda gone to 3rd
on his double in the 9th??
I thought for sure it was gonna be a triple
the jays give up four runs in three games @ arlington vs, the rangers.
and that’s without doc.

my goal of 18 wins for june
is still very possible… in my opinion, anything more then 18 is a bonus…and i honestly didnt expect that we would take 2 of 3 from texas (or even 2 of 4)
go jays… sweep the fish
