Pentecost grand slam.

I expect they will move him up to AA soon since he is 24 and rule 5 eligible this winter. He's basically found couch money if he turns into anything.

One of those games huh

I expect you're wrong. They are still trying to have Pentecost catch and are being extremely slow/patient with him (he's literally on like a 1-day catching, 3-day DH/1B schedule). The Rule 5 thing is pretty irreverent as he is extremely unlikely to get picked by someone.

Depends if they think there's a big difference between catching at A+ vs. AA.

Apropos of (not quite) nothing, Mike Ohlman's having a nice season in Buffalo.

Anyone remember many (last 90s probably or maybe early 00s) years ago when a Jay running for home jumped over a catcher and as they went past home plate slid and reached back to touch it?
I could swear it was Jose Cruz Jr but I've never been able to find a clip (or ever mention) about it....

Even if they were afraid of him being picked in a Rule 5, there's almost always enough fungible relievers on the 40-man that you can spare a spot to keep a prospect lottery ticket for another year or two.

Hunter Greene is the star baseball needs. First he has to finish high school.

Thoughts?

I think it's mostly the fact that he is right there at the Jays facility so they can monitor him very closely and carefully as he continues to rehab his shoulder.

Ace type stuff. He's 1-1 for me.

Louisville 1B/LHP Brendan McKay isn't going down quietly. He went 4 for 4 with 4 HR's today.

Well if he's talking to Winfield maybe he'll put in a good word.

It's awesome and disappointing at the same time to see how great Thames has started this year. I always liked the guy so in that sense it's great, but I wanted the Jays to scoop him back up this offseason. It would have been so much better.

But alas it wasn't meant to be. Hope he keeps it up.

This is one reason you like him....

I approve of the thread title.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I've never seen a game like that!

 

[Patmac40]

Too bad Stro isn't pitching against St. Louis, would like to see him get a few more at-bats. Good pinch hit option whenever Salty is in though (then again there might not be a bad pinch hit option compared when someone comes in for Salty).

 

[sandviper]

Can we have Stro bat 3rd?

Wild game last night. C'mon guys, string some wins together now.

That play by Coghlan was one of the greatest plays I've ever seen. The buddies I was watching the game with were all in awe when we saw it happen in real time. It wasn't like Molina was in a crouch...he was damn near standing up straight. Incredible.

it was great to see and something they needed a big play to rally around. I am in noway saying the season is salvageable, but i would rather have a reason to cheer then, shake my head and swear. Exciting is never bad!!!!

My initial reaction, was that Coughlan missed 3B on the play. Have watched the replay many times, and still don't see him touching 3B.

I noticed that too, I am sure he didn't touch it, I was waiting, thought that's what the Cards were looking at, was like please no, lol

 

[phillipmike]

I noticed that last night too but i thought his left leg weirdly touched it but it could have been missed as the 3B looked away right at that second.

 

[Bad News Benning]

The st.louis feed showed that he touched 3rd. Pretty sure that's why the cards didn't challenge it.

You know Stroman will be in the batting cages for the next month, giving the batters tips.


That was a nice, flat swing too. Must have picked up some tips from Donaldson.
