kickingfrog Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 More likely it's just slow for turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 its brand new so it doesn't have all the filler in it that the old turf did, so right now, the blades are long and slows the ball down, wait til year 3 and see how fast it is one trend i've noticed so far, every single pitch has been on the outside half to every single jays hitter, and teams are still playing them to pull. would love to see them straighten out that shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 They can also change the way the field plays by adding, or removing filler as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 didn't think they could remove the filler once its in there, thats the problem they had with the previous surface, it was sand and rubber pellets, and the sand compacted in there making it really hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Dickey absolutely shafted again, <2 ERA and still losing. correction, slightly over 2 ERA but still ridiculous, the guys allowed 3 runs in 2 games this year and hasnt won.

Joeytier Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 He was lucky he only gave up 2 runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 That was a rough one last night. The bats just couldn't get going. Meanwhile Hutcheson has an ERA of almost 7 and is 1-0 with both games won that he started. Pitching stats are weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The plate umpire sure didn't do them any favours, Tampa was getting the calls just off the plate, the Jays weren't, and he even missed a few obvious strikes regardless, the offence didn't show up for Dickey, but their pitcher threw a good game as well, one bad inning was all it took. otherwise it could very have been a 1-0 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Flipped to the Jay's game during the hockey games and saw the 9 runs by the Jays and then next noticed that I didn't recognize the Jay pitcher wearing 42 with no name on the back. Next moment realized it was Buehrle and it was Jackie Robison night. Maybe they changed the air in the dome tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netminder Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 that was insane! Michael Saunders who? in case people missed it, thats a 10ft wall And 6' tall man. I've been a fan of his for a while. Kind of disapointed he didn't get more play time up here last year. Anyone remember this play: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the Dave Steib curse, no offense whenever he pitched , good stats except for the win column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
