Is that better or worse than giving up 6 runs on 2 hits?

 

Uh, yes. 

I switched MLB Gameday over to Espanol. The game is just more interesting that way for some reason.

 

note: this time I remembered not to have Google translate the page......

I don't like this lineup tonight.  Seems weird, unbalanced, not really sure....it just doesn't feel right.

Oh well, the Ribbies would have been nice.

Feels like 4-5 innings.

Sounds about right! That's when he usually reaches 100 pitches!

Castro being Castro.

Neat...

Yup. No Cron or Cruz seems like a handicap.

When you have Cave, Adrianza, and Castro batting 6-7-8 you're going to feel that way. Probably the three worst hitters on the team. Very anemic.

Great chance to meet Socrates in person!

I think I've only heard of 2 or 3 of the Jays' hitters......

He swings, therefore he’s out.

Max has to let Byron steal.

Toronto has three great players in their organization: Vlad Jr., Socrates, and don’t forget Pompey — Dalton Pompey!!

Max has to let Byron steal.

...

 

Max has to let Byron steal.

 

I think the Jays might have something to say about that.....

 

sigh, there goes a lame joke....

And that was about as opposite as you can get.

Ugh, Kep

I like Polanco. A lot. 

Ka-Boom! But there should have been ducks on.

Unforgiveable offense from Kepler today with his baserunning and now with that ground ball on the 1st pitch with Bux aboard. Where's his head today?

Way to go Polanco!

 

Still shaking head about over-agressive Kepler

 

Should be 2-rip

my first jonron of the year!

Exactly. Max must have REALLY liked that pitch. There’s aggressive, but then there’s....not smart.

Well there’s some logic in Kepler swinging on the first pitch, but there’s logic in waiting a couple of pitches to see if Buxton steals.

Unless I missed something, the pitch seemed fine.

 

Sometimes you take a hack and roll over on one. It’s hardly news-worthy in a 162 game season.

Kep needs to think more like a ballplayer. He must take a pitch or two to give the games most effective base-stealer a chance. Particularly when he just walked a free-swinger.

I'm not a big fan of not swinging at pitches you like.....except when Buxton is on first with no outs....

This game is moving right along.

 

Must be all the Intentional Walks speeding up the pace
