Blue Jays Discussion: Saunders > Bruce; Tulo and Bautista trade DL spots

[The Nemesis]

%90 chance he will be terrible, a number that appears out of thin air.

Not sure where people come up with this stuff.

You can come up with a statistic to prove anything. Forfty percent of all people know that.

David Price's ERA has bloated to 4.90 as of 1 minute ago.

As per Gregg Zaun, he's too tall and should be sent to the bullpen or minors. Also, derpa der.

I just turned on the pre-game to hear Zaun talking reasonable sense about mechanics and deliveries and the risk of guys with mechanics that make their arm lag, etc. I smiled to see him making a modicum of sense.

Then came "pitching as a starter is less stressful than relieving."

 

[Loosie]

We precariously hold the 2nd wild card spot
Price is getting tagged again

Gee...mid-season and there are a cluster of teams still vying for a playoff spot? Didn't think that would ever happen.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Afternoon game starts soon

 

[The Nemesis]

Biagini.

 

[Loosie]

 

[FreeBird]

The fact that our GM isn't an imbecile makes me happy.

Most expectations were Flash Gordon.

 

[Discoverer]

Most expectations were Flash Gordon.

Not even remotely close to being true.

 

[Longshot]

Hey everybody, I've had an extremely busy work day and am not up to date. I've had the radio on in the background and caught a few snippets.

Did I hear Atkins correctly suggest the Jays are backing off on sending Sanchez to the bullpen? I thought I heard him say he had earned a rotation spot and they might keep him there.

That's an oldy, but a goody. The idea being that pitching on a set schedule (~6 innings every fifth or so day) is easier than pitching on an unset schedule (~6 innings randomly disbursed over 10 days.

I've always thought it was a stupid premise.

 

[p.l.f.]

stop it baltimore

 

[Kurtz]

Is there medical evidence either way on this?

 

[zeke]

suck it, Boston.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Cleveland next. Jays have to find ways to grind out wins against them. They just have to.

 

[canucksfan]

Haha Thole was 2-4 today.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Cleveland next. Jays have to find ways to grind out wins against them. They just have to.

Yeah that will be a tough test.

After that the Royals come to town minus Cain who was just put on the DL.

Really time for this team to make a statement at home where we have puttered around .500 most of the year.

 

[Eyedea]

Might not be anything but Panas has 5 home runs in his last 6 games.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

Rogers should just bite the bullet fire zaun n cambell

and hire carter/Alomar/white/halladay/hentgen/key hell I would prefer Delgado doing what zaun does at this point.


... guys the biggest puddle jumper there is...


figured with Healy getting the boot maybe zaun would be next ...

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yanks just hit a walk off homer against Texas with Sam Dyson pitching and it felt good!

 

[zeke]

can't wait until the yanks pass the sox.

 

[canucksfan]

Orioles continue to surprise me.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Cleveland next. Jays have to find ways to grind out wins against them. They just have to.

Indians are on a W12 streak.
Gulp.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'd love a series split with the Indians right now based on how hot they are.

I would guess that it would be easier on some peoples arms, and easier on others to be in the pen. Or no one is the same.

 

[Tony Romo]

The Giants are letting bumgarner hit instead of using a DH today

 

[ryno23]

With all the talk of Sanchez going to the pen due to innings restrictions, I wonder if the Jays track the type of innings he throws.

Say his limit is 140 for argument sake. Each of those 140 innings are not all the same.

Do you count a 5 pitch inning 3 up 3 down the same as a 40 pitch inning 4 up 3 down.

Yes I am sure they all balance out but I wonder if teams look at high stress innings and then look at non stress innings when making the decision on capping innings.
