Florida Marlins at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 12, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
The Jays look to get back in the win column tonight after being shut out last night and turn to the hero amongst our heroes, Doc Halladay, to put them in position to do so. Doc looks to extend his major-league win total to 11 tonight against the Marlins at Rogers Centre. He will be contested by Ricky Nolasco, who has struggled mightily this season to the tune of a 2-6 W-L Record and an ERA over 8.
The Doc is coming off two straight complete games during which he has 20 strikeouts against one walk and allowed zero extra-base hits. He tries for his second straight shutout and fourth complete game overall tonight, and considering that his last start was just 97 pitches, let's hope he can do it again, and this time in the Flashback Friday powder blues.
Maybe Cito has been checking out Bluebird Banter, because he's mixed up the lineup tonight, raising Vernon Wells up to third and dropping Alex Rios to sixth in tonight's lineup.
Oh yeah, tonight's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The thread title tonight, by the way, comes courtesy of "Baby Blue Sedan" from Modest Mouse's This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About.

8-1 Jays

good lineup move
I do not think it really matters if Wells or Rios gets moved down. The important thing is that they are broken up from the 3-4 spot, You cannot really afford to have them one after the other in the lineup. Can be a momentum killer. Hopefully they get fired up and paired up again if need be.

Rogers is giving it to me free for a year and discounting my bill, didn’t even threaten to move just call and talked about lowering my bill and getting rid of the movie networks…
They in turn, upgraded my home phone, my HD box to a HDPVR and let me keep the movie networks all for about 50 bucks less a month without locking me in

the 3rd pitch was not a strike per gameday
so he had to defend the outside and thus had to swing at that outside pitch
more bad umping than bad wells, IMHO

that would be unfortunate
Jerry once asked Alan what he thought about how much stock people put in lineups, he said that the reason people think “oh, _ can’t handle that spot” is because people remember when someone does poorly in a given spot and rarely when they do well. he also said that no professional baseball player would ever say “oh damn, i’m hitting 7th. i’m bad in this spot. i’m probably going to ground out.”

thing about fielding percentage...
is back in the early days of baseball there were lots of errors so fielding percentage mattered. But not when a good fielding shortstop is 97% and a bad one is 93%…it really isn’t a big deal.
by Tom Dakers on Jun 12, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it's actually misleading
it suggests that the player with the better fielding percentage is better, and my guess is that that’s only as likely as a coin flip to pick the better fielder

"One bad pitch"
You mean the one that hit the catcher wasn’t bad? Those three straight balls to walk Uggla weren’t bad? The one that the first double was hit on wasn’t bad?

the way we play tight games, I don’t think we’d survive the playoffs even if we made it there. This team needs some oomph from somewhere…

the worrying thing
is that the Jays have two consecutive games of weak hitting

During the 9 game losing streak we had a bunch of games where we had 10+ hits

oh well
let’s hope we can pull out the next two (hey, we beat up Greinke)… but damn this was a disheartening loss.

maybe this is (god forbid) the start of another losing streak – this lack of mental toughness is contagious it seems

A two game losing streak means a lack of mental toughness?
I guess the Yankees must have pudding in their heads.

76er fans would boo Allen Iverson and his team if they were down 2 points at the end of the first quarter - gotta love em
I did enjoy hearing the applause Doc got when he left the field though

winning on an error doesn’t make you clutch.

they've had plenty of walk-off wins to get the respect of "clutch"

If grounding out with 2 outs and 2 on makes you clutch
then Vernon Wells is the clutchest Jay of all.

Just getting home from the dome...sigh
What a sad night to watch the game…
My highlight of the night:
Ninth inning, Barajas up to bat, crowd is mostly all gone, 4 year old girl starts chanting “Let’s go Blue Jays” clap clap All the leftover fans/drunks support her as loud as possible, it was cute and about the only good thing to take from the game.
