I Was Carried to Ohio In a Swarm of Bees - 6/1 Game Thread, Cleveland at Toronto

PrintCleveland Indians at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 1, 2011 7:07 PM EDT
Hi everyone. Rough game last night, but the Jays can still take the series tonight with a win.
Kyle Drabek pitches for the Jays and while he has shown flashes of what he can do, his first season in the majors has also showed his limitations at this point in his career. His K/BB ratio sits at 1:1, though he has done a good job keeping the ball on the ground. That won't be enough for sustained success in the AL East, though, unless he can also improve on his very pedestrian K/9 and very poor BB/9 numbers.
Josh Tomlin pitches for Cleveland and and he's having a very nice season thusfar. His K numbers are nothing to write home about, but he's been great at limiting walks and fortunate at stranding runners. On the other hand, home runs have been a weak spot, so the Jays should be thinking about launching one tonight. Tomlin's tRA (5.31) suggest he's been more fortunate than good, but anytime you're striking out 350% more batters than you're walking, you're doing something right.

I think it's legitimately time to start asking if Drabek was brought up to the majors before he was ready.
Struggling as a rookie is one thing, but he’s walked more batters than he’s struck out this year, and has actually gotten worse lately.
I don't get it
He never walked guys in the minors, or even last year in his handfull of starts.
It’s in his head.

You could be right, he may just be getting too cute with his pitches.
It’s unfortunate he doesn’t just pound the strike zone if he’s capable of it, his stuff is definitely good enough to get away with more mistake pitches than your typical pitcher.
at least we have a day off
so we can use our bp today.

The good guys will need 24 more outs from the bullpen
Shouldn’t Farrell had let Drabek figure it out?
I don't know he didn't look like he had any idea where the strike zone was
I guess with the day off tomorrow he felt like he had enough in the pen to get us through it??
"It's a car wreck that's what it is" - John Lynch
"I couldn't be on defense man, Lynch be hittin' everybody man" - Rod Smith
No I think his problem is that he gets angry easily
He needs to stop getting mad and start getting ahead of batters
well, not be mean, but it kind of sucks for you that you don’t have confidence in a pitcher as good as Morrow. Or a guy who has yet to prove he isn’t good like Villanueva.
Morrow i guess i enjoy watching
but when he starts i dont think “oh we’ll probably win this one”…
Onions Baby Onions
Rivera has some ability to hit line drives right at the left fielder. It’s like he creates a bond between the ball and the LF.
Sorry to break it to ya Kyle, but you can't live in the Major Leagues only using a fastball..
Hasn’t Jo-Jo told you that already?
He hasn't really had issues with being hit around.
The damage against him is mostly self inflicted as he continues to walk a crazy amount of batters. It just isn’t possible for a pitcher to have sustained success striking out fewer batters than they walk.
true
Drabek just needs to get more comfortable throwing it in the zone. Wasn’t good that the first two guys hit doubles off him. He lost it after that.

You know..
If we knew Drabek was going record only 2 outs, we could’ve just have our bullpen throw the whole game.
Gose just hit a 3-run bomb for NH
That’s 5 on the year. With his speed, on base skills, and defense, a little power would make him outstanding.
Does he hit a lot of doubles?

Thanks for destroying Camp’s ERA, Kyle. (No way he would pitch multiple innings if Kyle had done at least decently). Camp just isn’t suited for multiple innings.
On the plus side it's probably for the best if he finishes the year a type b instead of a type a.
Yeah, I got nothing. What a dreadful game.
I don't want to give up on the Jays
but I think I have to call it quits. We might be seeing positional players pitch in this one…

I've always thought of him as a one inning guy.
He never used to be used for multiple innings like this, was he?
With respect to McGowan
does anyone know when he becomes a FA. It would suck if the Jays kept being patient with him, only to lose him to free agency next year.
Doesn’t really answer question, but is best I can find.
McGowan is expected to remain at extended spring training, which runs to the middle of June, before his status is re-evaluated and a course of action plotted. He could be eligible to begin a rehab assignment at that point, although the Blue Jays could also have him continue to throw simulation games.Once McGowan begins a rehab assignment, the Blue Jays would have 30 days to activate him. Once ready McGowan must be added to the 25-man roster since he is out of options and cannot be sent to the minors without first passing through waivers.“If healthy he won’t be on the DL, he’ll be up here,” said Anthopoulos.
I would be laughing at us right now but i have a fantasy team of only jays…..well this week is screwed….
I think this is usually when you press RESET, right?

Why is one of the teams best pitchers being burned in this situation again? Farrell’s bullpen management is taking on a whole new level of baffling here.
they got to get thru to the 9th, lots of guys are going to pitch
tomorrow is an off day, some guys could actually use the work

Even better
Let them go home, and have “Yackity sacks” play in the background for the rest of the game

They love talking about how great the other team is
Here is their chance to get it out of their system.
We were one of the top teams in run differential coming into this game
with +27 runs. We may fall back a bit tonight.
Buck: I've been in the situation before and it's a helpless feeling
I imagine Buck must’ve felt helpless all the time, as he doesn’t even know the difference between different kinds of pitches.
I'm not even sure why I'm still watching
It’s like a train wreck , can’t turn away.
When is the last time we were in a close game?
Seems like we are in a blowout one way or the other all the time lately.

Is next year the jays turn?
Let's hope so!

I'd rather listen to Jamie and Zaunie than Buck and Pat
I tried listing to Fan590 and watch the TV on mute once but that didn’t work out. Give it a try to find out why!
Optimism!

ironic coming from the Dutch
but yes, that logo is ridiculously racist

I was just kidding too, they are no more or less racist than any other place as far as I am concerned

I’d say our country is very below average in the racist department. With the exeption of some morons of course, but every country seems to have those.
I’m not “proud” of my country in any way though. Don’t want to come off as nationalist, because I really hate nationalism.
you'd know better than me
I probably didn’t react great to your joke – it grates on me when people paint the US as some hotbed of racism. Particularly when those doing it are europeans where (from what I have seen, though not in the Netherlands) racism is far worse than in the US.

How about...
back-to-back triples by a 39-year old and a 40-year old?

wow, those triples were something else
dont think I’ve ever even seen back to back
and bautista almost had that…drat!
There are 4 innings left for us. 3 runs an inning gives us 12 + 3, that’s 15 runs to win the game. Can’t argue with math
Did EE always used to bat with no batting gloves?
(I think this is new, right?)

too bad this game is not 11-12 innings
they might have had a shot
Not saying they’ll win this, because they almost certainly won’t, but just goes to show that when you have an offense you should never give up on a game
Nope
7 runs after 7 should win 92.4% of the time.
by craig in calgary on Jun 1, 2011 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions
oh god, buck, please, just because you are on good teams doesn't mean you know what it takes to win.
yeah really eh
not that hard to know what it “takes to win”. throw the ball, catch the ball, hit the ball, run
one of my favorite Bull Durham bits....
It’s a simple game. You hit the ball, you throw the ball and you catch the ball.
The next seven batters for the Jays all have hits tonight....

darn
I was half expecting a few runs there to make the 9th more interesting
Lawrie not in the lineup tonight in Vegas
pretty much what I expected. probably just to let the bruised hand heal up a little bit.
Without Lawrie in the lineup, it’s almost better to watch the Fisher Cats to see how the Jays’ prospects are coming
Without Lawrie??

no...if he got it, he would have had to eat it. long dive to touch it.
but I figured he’d get an error on it just because of who he is
lol, then glad he didn't. :-)

i just came in but i don't get why drabek was pulled out so early
couldn’t they at least see if he could last 2 innings
what is 48÷2(9+3) ---> 2 or 288?
in hindsight maybe
but at the time, he was looking really awful

well, at the very least, it pads Bautista’s stats. He has a chance for the triple crown.
Gonzalez only has 46 (at the start of the night)

The bullpen got a workout, anyway.
I wonder if Drabek will be the next to go down, for the same reason as Cecil.
by Defense Counts! on Jun 1, 2011 10:31 PM EDT reply actions
I have a feeling he'll have to go down
If Litsch is ready, they’ll probably switch places; if not then Brad Mills may be the one to be recalled. Or perhaps they’ll let Luis Perez take a stab at it.
