PrintToronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers, Jun 9, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
After opening the series in Texas with a win last night, Brian Tallet and the Jays look for their third straight win against the Rangers in the second game of the series tonight. For Texas, Doug Mathis makes his first start and second appearance of the 2009 season just two days after his 26th birthday. Let's cross our fingers that he's still hung over (though not in the David Wells perfect game sense) and the Jays can get to him early. Standard lineup against righties tonight, with Millar DHing and batting 8th.
In other news, don't expect Jesse Litsch to be back in 2009 and possibly not even in 2010, as he goes in for Tommy John surgery on Friday.
And finally, in regards to tonight's draft, I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Jays pick Tim Wheeler, an outfielder from Sacramento State, but that is admittedly only because he shares a name with the frontman for the band Ash, whose song "Petrol" inspired today's post-title in reference to tonight's draft.

Also apparently known as Stephen
So maybe a Third Eye Blind lyric would have been a better fit.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
You mean like Robert Casey Janssen?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I know the brother of UCLA's trainer
and he calls him Casey, so I think he’s gone by Casey since college at least.

It's Robert first
in case he turned out to be a lawyer.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Yeah
A lot of guys go by their middle names, I think what Tom was saying is that it’s annoying when they won’t just pick one or the other. I knew this guy named Remington Barrett. He changed what he called himself, but it really didn’t matter which name he went by, he was still annoying
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
How about Harry Leroy Halladay?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Didn't know the guy from Third Eye Blind's name
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Actually he's Stephan
but close enough.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Ortiz homered off Burnett
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
not a quick start for us
"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
Camera was on the ball
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Seems like Rios should be able to beat that out
if the shortstop fumbles it
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I hope they don't interview him tonight
like they did with Marcum last September. That was tough to watch.
"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
how's everyone doing tonight?
"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
see if you were raised in Southern Virginia, hotbed of all-around excellence
you would know you are only allowed to enjoy a game if you win
"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's the region's official epithet isn't it?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
if I was playing yeah....but I'm watching tonight.....
I’m the most competitive person in a game but when it is over I let it slide off
easy first out for Tallet
"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
great 10 pitch inning for Tallet
"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
someone asked me who my favorite player was today....
said it changes daily but I like watching Tallet throw
besides Doc
my favourite to watch is Marcum
"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 love watching no-run dmc when he is on
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Unfortunately
that’s rarely a road game.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Aside from Doc, mine is Barajas
The unexpected offense (which arguably might not continue), the great defense and the character/attitude he seems to have. I like watching him with our pitchers and generally seems to have fun, which I like seeing.
can't argue with him laying down on home plate after scoring
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Campbell
says his name is Chad
"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
An unclutch leadoff triple for Wells
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
not a bad bit of hitting by Vernon
"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
hitting triples
and scoring runs isn’t what he’s paid to do
"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
Sigh - rooting from afar
in Nova Scotia tonight and the only games they offer is Yanks in Boston and Braves & Pittsburgh
missing the jays
if it were not for getting to see Burnett pounded and watch Heidi Watney, the evening would be a total waste … LOL
go Jays
If it had bounced off Byrd's glove directly off the field
it would have been a homer.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
early lead for us!
"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
shows what changes in a year.....
last year this time we’d be doing somersaults that we scored that runner from third, this year, yeah but he didn’t hit. Life is so much better
not true
last year we would have been annoyed that we didn’t score the runner from third
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
rolen works the walk to start things off anew
keep it going, Lyle
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Doesn't need to now
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
and people wanted to give him away for nothing last year and this offseason
"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
Millar comes through
"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
ouch Andrus
horrible
"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
Andrus seems to have problems fielding against the Jays
last series he made a bunch of terrible throws to first, plus bobbled rios’s ball last inning.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
wonder what Michael Young must think
when he boots one?
"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 it's the BlueBirdBanter curse
Whenever I’m told to watch a guys defense, he mucks up…see ChiSox SS
it's our version
of the Colbert bump
"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
good evening folks
Cecil pitching tonight in Vegas.
woo-hoo!
"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 keep meaning to buy one of those
maybe I will now
"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've been tempted
but my commute right now is a 3 mile bike path. Doesn’t seem worth dealing with traffic compared to that.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
is that tough to pull off
in Calgary weather?
"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
darn
nice play by mathis to corral the chopper.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
That's 4 not particularly scary fly balls
in 4 chances.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Greetings Everyone __/\__
wonder why rios did not try to work the count . .. :-( . . .
litsch should be cursing jp
according to will carroll
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Not his all cutters all the time approach?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
went through the rios at bat in the first and trying to count the seconds with my analog clock i think rios thought he would be out and did not run hard.
come on brian
just strand him here.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
good thing i didn't use "Help Save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula" as the thread's title
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Tallet loses Davis
"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'd rather see him screw up against a team that isn't the red sox
but i guess you take what you can get
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah!
way to go, Tallet!
"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
Tried to give Lind the steady diet of curveballs
He fouled off a few and then singled up the middle
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Lind puts one through the middle
"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
with the ridiculous single
"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
Hugo / Tom
I was just reading that the Jays / 51s affiliation in likely to remain past 2010 due to long travel .. any ideas what Jays are thinking re: AAA affiliate?
well
they wanted Buffalo, but they seemed pretty lukewarm to the Jays last time around. The city of Buffalo isn’t really eager to help out the city of Toronto with its sports teams at the moment….
"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
because of NFL?
would be funny if buffalo got a CFL team
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Rolen gets a single and Lyle just an out
funny world
"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
Nice play out there by Boggs
I know Rangers fans are high on his defence and can see why
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
pretty far over ground, too
just in the wrong direction.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Ted Lilly has a triple today
wonder how many pitchers hit triples in a 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
more than I would've guessed actually
"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 wonder how fast hendrickson runs
must take long strides.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
that is a cool little gadget, I keep forgetting we have it....
was looking up guys that struck out 5 times in a game the other day for some reason
wasn't he a decent hitter
when he first came up? i remember him hitting a few homers
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
all against the Mets
or so it seemed
"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 he had a salami against them, didn't he?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
seems like it can't be terribly common
i seem to remember rich ankiel hitting at least one triple the season he was a pitcher
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Sweet double play
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
nice inning
"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
didn't seem like it to me
but maybe I missed something
"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
nice play by Cruz
great read, great play.
"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
looks like hill is continuing to break out of his slump
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
the Jays got Paxton
pretty cool
"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
Didn't think he'd fall to the supplemental round
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
the Boras effect?
"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
There's a few teams between our first two picks who aren't scared of Boras
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
If it's a question of money
they said they’d go over slot.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
not sure about that, unfortunately
those guys still tend to command a lot of dough
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
nice play by Rolen
"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
nice inning Tallet
"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
A-Bomb!
"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
Almost caught up to Hill
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
if Lind can consistently hit that pitch
to the opposite side with power, he is going to be a great one. It was on the black if over at all
"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
His spray chart is awesome
The only thing he hasn’t done is pull one down the line.
http://hittrackeronline.com/detail.php?id=2009_788&type=hitter
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Hill's are all pulled, which isn't much of a surprise
Except for one down the line, all of Overbay’s have been to straightaway center.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I hate it when they show you the mean of a pitcher's run-support.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
The histogram is probably more useful
but it takes up so much space.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
its a shame for those of you who aren't getting the Rangers feed
They have this absolutely crazy fan guy who is been yelling all game…and they are profiling his ridiculous heckling of Marco Scutaro.
He is now remniscing about how he got into Scutaro’s head three years ago and caused an error.
And now he is screaming Scutaro at an insane decibel level.
interesting...
wonder what his deal is
"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 seemed like it wasn't simply Scutaro
he just loves heckling really really loudly. But you would imagine Marco did something while with the As that tickled his fancy.
haha
sounds like someone tom would ban
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
or talk about banning but never do it
zing!
"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
nice quick out of Kinsler
"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
On sports talk radio today
i heard an interview with Bob Ryan who said that the Jays “little run at competing” was over
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
a boston sportswriter
who looks like he is drunk all the time
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Chris Singleton had a blog post on ESPN.com
about how the Jays should stop daydreaming about first.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Tallet is really rolling
"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 can't remember the last time I saw so many fly-ball outs by a pitcher
Without any HRs allowed
Wells
hit that one well too
"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
dodging the month long slump
maybe Wells is trying to dodge the month long slump title — since, arguably, his slump started May 10, so if he gets it going tonight, it is less than a month
to a certain extent
but may is a 31 day month
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
that's a name I don't know
"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
high school kid, right?
"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
doubt he's doing that
but if he’s getting out, nice to see him make it productive
Prehistoric Hoops - a neat little Raps blog
and Rolen cashes him with a gapper
"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
and Lyle singles Rolen 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
for the games where I did the recap, I did, yeah
"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
Hey I made it!
Just got back from seeing The Hangover (awesome movie) and the Jays are up 7 zip! Life is good!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
Can someone give me a brief rundown? Tallet pitching well I take it?
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
For a second, I thought that was someone else responding to you
asking for a summary of the movie.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Sure
Tallet has been great, tons of lazy fly balls. Lind hit an opposite field dinger, Wells has a couple of extra base hits, Rolen, etc
"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
lind homered to the opposite field
vernon’s had a couple nice shots, jays put together a good rally with some good luck on a rolen bloopeand a elvis andrus error on a should have been dp
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Wells, may, although could be premature, be emerging from slump
2 xtra base hits
haha, certainly wouldn't be emerging prematurely
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Wow Great Graphic Sportnet
When you score you win!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
they actually were implying the opposite
which is an even more troubling thing to say
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
seems like scoot's walk-rate has dropped
but he’s been compensating by getting more hits.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Wow lots of things on the site to read….
Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules! and I heard about Litsch before I went into the Movie….. really sucks….
Sorry if I caused a problem before…
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
Well I can tend to make things worse if someone is making me angry
I tend to end up like this guy
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
yep love that one.
xkcd has been getting some love from us these last couple weeks
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
You had it coming!
Disagreeing with me…. how dare you!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
w00t!
"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
Even if he's not
this is the kind of game we can get him into.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
heck, bring in Carlson and BJ … lol
although in fairness, Carlson has also been improving after some bad outings that seemed to be concentrated together
Its the Dirk!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
hate it
"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
Playing in Arlington also kills our record
But we seem to have broken this particular jinx this series…
I only like it when the Jays play the NL West
because it means I can get to more games those years.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
if they got rid of the divisions and did balanced scheduling you'd get to even more.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Scott Carson did a piece on that earlier this year. About how to balance the league. I liked it.
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
oh, didn't see it
but i would like to get rid of divisions and interleague play
three teams make the playoffs, the regular season champion gets a bye to the lcs
League Semifinal is best of 7
LCS is best of 7
World Series is best of 9
i also wouldn’t mind LCS as best of 9
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah dirk
"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 everything i find out about dirk
makes me like him even more.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Think he will pitch the 9th as well? Or the BeeJ?
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
I have long ago stopped trynig to guess along with cito.....
if I guess anything he’ll bring in Downs
I love that
we were the first on the Hayhurst bandwagon right here on B^3!
"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
Really Jamie.....
You want to use BJ as a positive example of returning early from Tommy John?
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
It is the BeeJ!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
If I was Litsch
while my pitching arm is not working, I would like at that time off as an opportunity to get myself into better shape … he could go for some cardio, tighten up the torso (stomach, back, obliques) and build up the leg strength
just one observers opinion
Pink, rectangular, and efficient
Still works.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Johnny Mac in as a D upgrade?
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
Nice outting Ryan!
I believe in Karma. That means I can do bad things to people all day long and I assume they deserve it. - Dogbert
looks like.
righty with a 94 mph fastball, power curve and splitter

oop not anymore
jacob marisnick, CF now
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Magic number: 105
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I've been keeping track all along
There was a long stretch where it was kinda depressing because it was the same number every day, or if it went down, it wasn’t with our help.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
good stats padding night for Jays
team hits
team avg
team era
team hr
etc ..
nice game by the Jays today!
let’s follow it up with one tomorrow! and Beej’s ERA is under 7. baby steps…
