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

[Longshot]

Struck out the side. Looking better now.

 

[Stats01]

Much much better inning!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good inning Hutch .. C'mon offense, tack on some more runs

 

[PG Canuck]

Atta boy hutch

 

[The Promised Land]

So yeah, that Donaldson guy is not bad eh?

Nice inning Hutch, keep that up and please don't screw it up. PLEASE

 

[SpezDispenser]

That's more like it!

 

[SDig14]

I didn't realize that.

The kid just seems like cannon fodder out there.

If the situation was reversed, I would prefer the Jays bring up a Doubront (who is now gone), Redmond or Wolf to get bombed in a game like this rather than a young rookie that has a future.

Ya, I don't even have any idea how good Duffey has been in AAA this year, too lazy to look.

You'd think they would have someone with more experience to go to, but their rotation isn't very good so perhaps not.

Either way, we did him a favor, he only has to pitch a few innings! Ha.

 

[rojac]

well, he'll always remember it.

also I haven't posted this in a while for a Bautista HR.

also, did Buck just say he wrote that article?

No, he didn't write it. Arden Zwelling did.

[RiceCooker]

Teixeira has not been the third best player in the AL this season, and certainly hasn't been better than (or as good as) Donaldson.

29 HR's and 76 RBI's in 73 less at bats than Donaldson, he is in the running.

 

[Loosie]

yup....Duffey's done. J.R. Graham in

 

[Eyedea]

29 HR's and 76 RBI's in 73 less at bats than Donaldson, he is in the running.

The fact that I know these numbers will be heavily weighted upon (along with the Yankees being in contention) makes the voting process terrible.

 

[HarrisonFord]

29 HR's and 76 RBI's in 73 less at bats than Donaldson, he is in the running.

Donaldson's far superior defense though

 

[Swervin81]

29 HR's and 76 RBI's in 73 less at bats than Donaldson, he is in the running.

I have Kipnis and Machado over Tex for MVP. Kipnis doesn't have the HR's, but he can flat out rip it and also plays good D at 2B. Machado is elite defensively and also has the power this year.

 

[MR4]

Thought I heard it fouled, guess not!

 

[Loosie]

You don't see that very often.

 

[RiceCooker]

Donaldson's far superior defense though

Lol, Tex has 5 Gold Gloves.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Lol, Tex has 5 Gold Gloves.

3B > 1B any day

 

[RiceCooker]

3B > 1B any day

This season
Donaldson 14 Errors
Tex 2 Errors

 

[Tony Romo]

Lol, Tex has 5 Gold Gloves.

A Gold Glove in 2012 > 2015 defensive production?

 

[91Kadri91*]

29 HR's and 76 RBI's in 73 less at bats than Donaldson, he is in the running.

If we're going to base candidacy entirely on offensive performance, then Nelson Cruz is a better option than Teixeira. Cruz has had the better season regardless, but he's been one of the five best offensive players in the league this season.

Trout, Donaldson, Kipnis, Machado and Cain have been incontrovertibly better this season; Teixeira has been great, but he's not (or shouldn't be) a legitimate MVP threat (Trout really should be the unanimous choice for the award) at the moment.

 

[Cloned]

This season
Donaldson 14 Errors
Tex 2 Errors

3B are going to have more errors than 1B, it's just the nature of the position.

 

[Eyedea]

Lol, Tex has 5 Gold Gloves.

And he's great at first base, but in terms of position there isn't a deeper and weaker set of positions defensively than 3B and 1B in the AL.

Donaldson is going up against Beltre, Machado, Longoria, Headley, Lawrie, and Moustakas.

Teixeira has had to go up against Adrian Gonzalez and more recently Eric Hosmer.

 

[RiceCooker]

Lol, I think Donaldson deserves the MVP but to say Tex has no business being mentioned is Ludicrous, he has a lot to do with the Yankees being in 1st place

 

[mikebel111*]

This season
Donaldson 14 Errors
Tex 2 Errors

I am noticing you seem to be very wrongly critical about Jays stuff

sorry but I will take Donaldson and I don't think its close

Donaldson>Mark
even on D I take Donaldson

 

[Canada4Gold]

This season
Donaldson 14 Errors
Tex 2 Errors

1 plays the hot corner with the best range for a 3B in the game. The other catches throws from other fielders. Errors are a terrible thing to measure the difference between the 2. There are far fewer balls hit to a 1st baseman.
