I know I'm the only member of JaysGAF left at this point, but here's a fun fact/illustration of how painful this season's been to watch: going back to the beginning of baseball, JP Arencibia has the 13th lowest OBP in history for batters with at least 400 PA. Up it to 450 PA, and he's tied for 5th lowest. Make it modern baseball history (so since 1920), and he's tied for 3rd lowest. If it drops just a few more points, it'll be the worst ever.

But trading away Travis D'Arnaud for the husk of RA Dickey was totally worth it.

That's horrific. I looked it up and mistook his OBP for his AVG and I was like "how bad could his OBP really be?" Took me a few looks to figure it out. Damn.

 

[jakncoke]

Gaby pinch hit? gg see you tomorrow red you fucks

 

[Sanjuro]

They have Bud Light in the clubhouse...really?

I hope the Globe kills them tomorrow.

 

[RGVNOE]

great throw by Beltran

Where's the chicken?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

C'mon Cain, put it in the fountain so Holland can end this

Yeah.

Oh, and his road OBP: .188, to go along with a batting average of ,147. And that're before he went 0 for 4 (with 3 Ks, of course) tonight.

Somehow his WAR is -0.5, which is the first thing that's ever made me question WAR as a stat. It must really, really like catcher home runs.

 

[jakncoke]

102? wow

 

[Sanjuro]

Where's the chicken?

I bet it's getting a police escort from Popeyes as we speak.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yeah.

Yeah, being a positive defensive catcher will take you a long way.

 

[JDHarbs]

This is our chance. Bring Cain home!

And still couldn't have a better season than the gimpy Yankees. smh

 

[Duane Cunningham]

C'mon DLo!

 

[Sanjuro]

...Ortiz has a mic.

This is our fucking owner.

 

[CygnusXS]

lol texas

 

[JDHarbs]

Wow.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

WOW

 

[cashman]

Neither do we.

Don't worry about it.

 

[lazybones18]

lolFeliz

 

[Askani]

Thank you, sir. May I have another?

 

[CygnusXS]

Also, per Morosi, Liriano pulled himself out of the game. Said he was done.

 

[weekend_warrior]

2-1 KC!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

bases loaded...

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm glad Toronto was here on hand to watch the man they stabbed in the back viciously win the division.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol, really Texas? Walk home the go ahead run xD

Not that I'm complaining

 

[Askani]

Shut'em down, Holland.

 

[Branduil]

So if the Rangers don't win the last two games of this series they won't have won a single series outside of the division after June.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Well, I would've liked an insurance run or two, but I trust Holly.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

This Cards/Brewers game has been insane. Props to the Brewers for putting up a fight by using their closer in a high leverage 8th inning spot after they complained about the Astros rolling over for teams in 2011.

Wow, the other two Matts come through!

 

[Duane Cunningham]

HEY HEY HEY HEY

 

[Askani]

Hell yeah!

 

[cashman]

What a fucking season

 

[CygnusXS]

Ugh, fine have it that way Brewers.

 

[hemtae]

I'm glad Toronto was here on hand to watch the man they stabbed in the back viciously win the division.

It's also funny that they were suppose to be the best preseason and we were suppose to be the worst. Good times

 

[JDHarbs]

Still alive!

 

[Duane Cunningham]

PS WE HAVE A GUARANTEED .500 SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE

 

[Dominican Power]

I rather see The Royals get the wildcard instead of The Rays and O's. Cleveland can care less about their team.

 

[Branduil]

LOL

Well at least LSB will be upset.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Good job Royals! Indians finally in a wild card spot. Hopefully Baltimore can steal one from the Rays

 

[RGVNOE]

Get fucked Brewers

you spoke way too early in this ball game

and Fixed

PS WE HAVE A GUARANTEED .500 SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE

Congrats

 

[Lee Chaolan]

PS WE HAVE A GUARANTEED .500 SEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE

Congrats!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Damn. We can't get a single run against the Padres.

 

[vas_a_morir]

5-2 wooo

ahh we didnt get 38k for the game

Ah yes... That moment when things look so good that you are discussing disappointment in the attendance figures...

I didn't even cheer. I just shook my downturned head, as I know what a BS loss that is for Pirates fans. I remember that feeling... like it was just last week!

 

[matthewwhatever]

Yeah, being a positive defensive catcher will take you a long way.

Also he leads the majors in catcher errors and passed balls. So...no.

 

[cashman]

Congrats on finishing 4th in the Wildcard race

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Leadoff double. Mujica's going to blow this. :/

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Who has the better bullpen? Tampa or Baltimore?

 

[Man God]

Tampa.

B-more is way better at hitting the ball though.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Tampa.

B-more is way better at hitting the ball though.

Thanks. Madutz was looking pretty good though.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Walkoff win by the Brewers in 3...2...
