Blue Jays GDT: (2015 v18) Next: vs Min | Wed, Aug 5 | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Duffey vs Hutchison

[Loosie]

Safe play, pitch around Pillar to the guy that has not had a hit as a Jay yet.

 

[Swervin81]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL are the Twins seriously intentionally walking a mightily struggling Pillar?

 

[Daisy Jane]

revere is going to have a base hit. screw you minny

 

[Quares27]

that disrespect to Revere

 

[TootooTrain]

I wonder what Dioner's BA is with RISP. He's been pretty clutch all season from my memory (which admittedly isn't the best, so I could be off).

He led the team in sac flies last year I believe. Doesn't always do it with a hit.

 

[Pokecheck Prayer]

good job Pillar

 

[KarmaPolice]

But if you look at it the other way... just imagine where we'd be without the punk? Hughes would be throwing a perfect game as we speak!

lol
If Phil is like me, when I'm being heckled, I'm usually twice as good at whatever I'm doing. I almost always pitched better, or played better in goal when playing hockey, when I was regularly playing back in the day. Some people seem to think it always works (not saying you), but it's a huge misconception. I'm not even saying I'm anything special, because I can't think of anyone I played with or against who played worse when heckled. It just almost never works, and more often works against you, from my personal experience.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Bechyeah he gets his first hit as a Jay.. always a chip when they walk to get to you

 

[Radiohead]

Machado is great, but he shouldn't be on that list. The other 4 are easily more valuable than him

Don't think that's being fair to Machado. He's easily a top 10 player in the league at this point.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Hah Pillar has more intentional walks than Donaldson/Martin/Reyes/Colabello/Smoak/Travis.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Safe play, pitch around Pillar to the guy that has not had a hit as a Jay yet.

not really. Revere has hit like .300 or close to it this year. Sure he hasn't got a hit yet as a Jay but Pillar has been awful for the past couple weeks. I'd prefer Revere up here.

 

[mikeyz]

Wow. Ben Revere getting NO RESPECT.

Intentionally walking Kevin Pillar to get to him. Lop.

 

[Longshot]

I wonder what Dioner's BA is with RISP. He's been pretty clutch all season from my memory (which admittedly isn't the best, so I could be off).

With runners on base it's .314.

With runners in scoring position it's: .211.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Damn it.

 

[Quares27]

****s sake man get a hit

 

[TF97]

C'mon Revere

 

[Hyperglide]

Time for Revere to break out of this slump and plate some guys.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Bagel man remains such.

 

[The Nemesis]

Time for Revere to break out of this slump and plate some guys.

Nope.

 

[Hyperglide]

Revere sucks. Send him back to the Phillies.

 

[Eyedea]

Small sample but Revere is hitting an uncharacteristically high amount of fly balls.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Don't think that's being fair to Machado. He's easily a top 10 player in the league at this point.

Maybe, but those other 4 guys might be top 4 in the league. Machado is an awesome player, but he doesn't belong in the same tier as those other 4 guys. The top tier being the top maybe 5 guys in the league, Machado is in the 2nd tier.

 

[Stats01]

Revere needs to try and get a bunt single or something next time..He needs a hit badly.

 

[Gargyn]

Thank god we picked up revere and dropped valencia. Great move.

 

[TootooTrain]

Small sample but Revere is hitting an uncharacteristically high amount of fly balls.

I'm tellin ya. He's Willie Mayes Hayes in Major League 2. Power baby!
