The Blue Jays.

The problem is it can kill entire at-bats, when players feel they have to swing at pitches outside the zone.

Trust me, I fully understand how much an inconsistent strike zone can affect an at bat.

But it's a single pitch once every 3 innings. Come on.

Score last game was 2-1 dude. Every pitch counts.

Joe Maddon says he's considering changes to #Cubs 3-4-5 spots. "I am thinking about different things, yes."

Maddon reads GAF, clearly.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Votto should be dealt if any value can come back. Not sure who would give up a prospect group to make it worth anyone's while though.

Jose has a point.

That's not some kind of outlier difference from the average with that sample size of pitch count:

Give me a break. It's just a normal deviation.

People saying "something is going on" don't understand basic statistics.

Blue Jays fans, please behave!

With the free agent market being so thin this year, I expect a lot of players we didn't think would get traded end up moved. Votto could load quite a haul for Cincy, if he's willing to forgo his NTC.

Doesn't sound like Votto wants to leave Cincy. Must really love Skyline

 

[3N16MA]

Horrible idea. You don't trade away your performing star player like that.

It's the perfect time to trade him. He is still owed 179M over the next 7 years. He just turned 33 and is still productive enough to garner some attention.

The Reds are going nowhere fast and could use a good return for Votto. They got the best years out of him and now would be a good time to move on.

 

[Line_HTX]

Toronto needs to body Cleveland.

 

[Beckx]

Blue Jays fans, please behave!

this guy sounds like someone who's part of the conspiracy if you ask me.

Doesn't sound like Votto wants to leave Cincy. Must really love Skyline

some guys want to be just another ballplayer in NY, some guys want to be THE KING OF CINCINATTI

O CANADA

OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Curt Schilling then, Trevor Bauer now.

 

[Choomp]

oh god ew wtf why that finger

 

[BolognaSoup]

Why is Canada even allowed a team in the AMERICAN League anyway?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lmao Batista with some pathetic defense

edit: N/M he had a better look at it than I thought.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yes!

Party at Napolis contributing in the post-season!

 

[Lexxism]

Hahaha fucking Bautista

 

[Jay Shadow]

Circumstances got in his eye

 

[eyeless]

this is fine

 

[The Elite]

And that's all the runs Cleveland needs.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Circumstances got in his eye

lol it's like the Baseball Karma god smacked him in his head.

 

[crimzonflame]

RIP Blue Jays

 

[PROh1bited]

Jose can't hit nor field, but he can certainly spew out nonsense.

 

[Lexxism]

Circumstances got in his eye

Nah. It was obviously umpires fault he didn't catch it.

 

[Line_HTX]

Beisbool is stupid.

 

[Choomp]

fug, there's no one harder on the jays than the jays fans in here when it starts going bad for them

guys it's 1-0 and your team hasn't even come to bat yet lol

 

[PROh1bited]

They've scored one whole run so far in this series.

Go Tribe!!!!

Kiefer Sutherland does Blue Jays' ads.

 

[The Elite]

The umps help out Bautista and then he looks at strike three. lol.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Damn, thought he swung last pitch

Kiefer Sutherland does Blue Jays' ads.

Haha, that awesome. He should be supporting his fellow Bauer tho. ;o

 

[PROh1bited]

Circumstances guys

Is Major League Baseball designing their outfield walls to intentionally interfere with Toronto's defense?

I'm not saying they are, but I think it's a question that needs to be asked.

We should look into that. We really should.

 

[User 479360]

The Jays are pathetic.

 

[The Elite]

The Jays are pathetic.

Meh. This series has been so damn close it's hard to fault them for anything. The Jays have just been out pitched in a two game pitching dual.

There were some bad ump calls in that first game but some of those Jays at bats were entirely due to quality Cleveland pitching.

It's frustrating to watch as a Jays' fan but it's good baseball.

 

[Chuck]

That's a health hazard!

 

[The Elite]

And Bauer gotta be done. That's disgusting.

Someone should inform Gibbons to call this guy out. If it's getting on the ball, it's a problem.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Holy fuck.

Take him out.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He leakin'

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Bauer's poor hand.

 

[BravesCountry]

He has to be taken out. That is a lot of blood.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Wow. What a stupid way to waste a game.

 

[ColdPizza]

He's dripping. I've never seen anything like this.

 

[Lexxism]

Damn. Those blood

 

[The Elite]

Wow. What a stupid way to waste a game.

Andrew Miller gonna pitch nine innings.

 

[PROh1bited]

Circumstances guys, that's why he's bleeding.

 

[Montresor]

This Cleveland pitcher is bad ass. He's bleeding and still pitching.

 

[Chuck]

Scum fuck toronto fans booing
