speaking of Romero, anyone want to trade the soon to be Stroman bobblehead for my Romero bobblehead?

 

[dredeye]

man back to back gems by Buerhle. Not even 100 pitches tonight. Starters are starting to play really well. This whole series we got really good starts.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Bump. Jays and Astros game is underway!

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Huh, what was that pitch Sanchez threw to Springer for the strikeout? It looked like a 91 mph cutter or a really hard slider.

Hmm, another 91 cutter or slider to Altuve with 2 strikes. I guess he's found a new pitch that he is trying to get strikeouts with.

I had the same reaction. I thought it was a changeup at first but it had some natural cut. Slider most likely. Don't recall him ever throwing a cutter.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Well, looking like a good start so far for Sanchez. Hopefully he can keep it up. We're bad for giving up leads.

I don't think he's thrown either though I believe he was working on a slider in spring training but didn't use it until now I guess.

He'll need to add more depth to that slider but the velocity of those sliders were Matt Harvey like.

It's a "slutter" actually that he's been working on since ST.

Do you speak to your mom with that mouth.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

That was a really good call they made on Norris and sanchez. Norris and sanchez both were having control issues but norris had the best ERA on the team. They made the right choice to send norris down. Sanchez is improving and Norris is still trying to work some kinks out

 

[Eyedea]

Wow this feed is being extra choppy.

Is Chris Colabello the greatest jay of all time?

On hall of fame plaque dedicated to Chris Colabello

Despite an early fleging career. Colabello manged to rise above what others intially thought and become a star independent ball player. Intially granted a minor league contract by the Minnesota twins at an older age Cola(as some affectionately called him) quickly rose through the ranks and earned his first MLB call up. He would go on the set the Minnesota twins record for hit in May before jealousy and conspiracies had him put on waivers. Luckily for the jays they saw the rising star in the pile of dung that was minnesota sports and quickly picked him up. He would go on to bat a career .350 average driving in 120 runs a year well scoring 200 runs himself. Unpredictably Colabello showed a great deal of speed and baserunning instincts leading the majors with back to back 60 stolen base seasons. Unfortunately Colabello's career was cut short when he was attacked by a rabid twin fan in an on field incident. The question some pose... is Colabello he greatest jay of all time? Its debatable given his incredibly high peak was cut short follwing an injury but what cant be denied is that at one time Colabello reached a level not seen in sports.

Yes.

That's the term that some use when defining the pitch. Odorizzi throws a mid/high 80s form of the pitch. It's very much a cutter, but with repetition he can get more break (and probably less velo) and end up with more of a true slider.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Wow I knew Smoak was slow but wow that was sad.

 

[TootooTrain]

Impressive turn at 2nd considering the hard slide.

"Hernandez has had a rough month of May so far" - Pat Tabler

"Russell Martin took a book out of Mark Buehrle's playbook" - Buck Martinez

Man, they're on a roll tonight

...also, the first "big and strong" of the night went to Roberto Hernandez

 

[TF97]

Thank God that Big Smoaky is at first base

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Probably would've been safe if it was any other Jay except for a couple..

Has Smoak even made it to 1st yet ?

I think he just got there in time to make a nice snag on a Reyes throw
