0 for 4 with RISP

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

Lind was playing pretty far off the line there

Overbay is a bottom 1/3 offensive 1B

and that’s this year, when he’s hardly had to face lefties at all.

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

Not that we'll necessarily be able to do better

and I did have that combo on my 91 win/$95M roster.

first three...I have no idea....

scoot likely will sign here I think, snider is here

Millar – out of baseball, maybe Japan?
McDonald – Jays (30%), nother MLB team (50%), out of baseball (20%)
Ruiz – AAA
Snider – Jays (80%), AAA (20%)
Scutaro – Jays (70%), another MLB team (30%)

to be fair

uzr stats have a lot of noise. isn’t 3 seasons worth of data recommended to make a definitive statement regarding defensive aptitude?

Of course a player can decline a lot within 3 years

Wells' .211/.285/.338 line against lefties this year is really sad

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

by Torgen on Sep 22, 2009 8:36 PM EDT reply actions  

yes, now that was flukey

makes Tallet look bad, but really tough to fault him on that one

by aagoodfella on Sep 22, 2009 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Mark Hendrickson

6 ip, 2 hr, 0 K, 2 bb . . . those should not equal two runs

"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"

by jessef on Sep 22, 2009 8:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Hmm, in the Jays lineup, we have only three hitters with averages over .240. I guess it’s hardly surprising we only have 4 hits against “Cy” Hendrickson.

by siggian on Sep 22, 2009 8:54 PM EDT reply actions  

And Wells' numbers against lefties are terrible

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.

I would not have pinched for Ruiz

but his kind of Ruiz mgmt, makes me think fer sure he is going back to AAA in April

generally a bad idea to hit a batter

to cause a walk-off

Not so much that it's unmanly

sure … they should have a glove for home jersey, away jersey and alt uniform jerseys

well, it will be tough since he is a righty

by aagoodfella on Sep 22, 2009 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

He's cheaper and better (IMO) than Camp though

I suppose you have to throw Richmond in the mix now too, cause I can’t see him making the team as a starter.

by REMO on Sep 22, 2009 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

League, Roneicke, Janssen

I mean look at the choice —

Camp is better for long relief vs. Accardo

League has dominating power and movement vs. Accardo

Roenicke has been better vs. Accardo

really, Janssen is the only guy Accardo might be able to beat … it is tough for him to crack the lineup and he has not been stellar when he is up …

by aagoodfella on Sep 22, 2009 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, regarding Janssen

they will likely give him a good look in the Spring, shoulder surgery is tough to come back from and he relies heavily on his location

What does rance mean that he doesn't understand why they let lind take second?

holding lind on at first would drastically reduce the 1st baseman’s range . . . particularly against a lefthanded batter

true

but the only reason the last two batters got on was because Johnny Mac was due up

Yes, thats my point.

I do recall Endy Chavez winning a game with a loaded bases bunt in the bottom of an extra-innings game

for the Mets a few years ago. But Mac is not as fast or as good of a bunter as Endy Chavez

Was 2nd and 3rd (not loaded bases), but there were two out.

Doesn't matter

With 2 outs, just throw to first, run doesn’t count. Simple baseball that is beyond our beloved TV man.

trying to buy Raptors tickets from Ticketmaster for a November game

but it only goes up until October. Anyone know if tickets only go on sale a little later, or if there’s another way to get ’em.
