kickingfrog Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Maybe, just maybe if you're the Orioles you don't throw the ball at/behind Bautista anymore.
Acountdeleted Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Bautista is going to take matters into his own hands. I can see this getting ugly.
kickingfrog Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Bautista is going to take matters into his own hands. I can see this getting ugly. He has. Twice this season they've thrown behind his head and twice in the same at bat he's hit a home run. His pitchers are the ones that need to keep the things inline.
netminder Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Two sentences: Jose Bautista is a baus. Buck Showalter is an arse. Showalter demanding respect for his players? You've got to be kidding. Every team he's managed has never been afraid to throw at guys. It'll be at the hands of one of his pitchers that someone will be "lying on the ground in a pool of blood" - his own words.
Acountdeleted Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 This is when things get scary. In the NHL if a guy takes a head hit you can argue that it was in the heat of the game. Savard is a prime example, it was terrible what happened to him but I doubt (hope) that intent to injure was not there. What happens when you blatantly throw at a guys head and it ends his career or his life? Look at the first time Baltimore threw the ball behind Jose. The Catcher was able to catch the ball. Either that Catcher has ninja reflexes or the intent is obvious.
netminder Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Was just reading the write-up from the game on the Baltimore Sun. Funny how they said in the article on April 12 Bautista was pitched "high and tight". It was thrown behind him! However, the people commenting on the article agreed with Jose's sentiment, even if they didn't appreciate his antics. I for one hope nobody gets a ball thrown at their head. If you need to do something, hit Jones in the ribs or the hip. Otherwise, just beat up on them on the scoresheet. Things like this can get scary real quick.
fishing n autograph Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Unlike hockey there is an unwritten rule. Throw high and tight to back a guy off the plate but if you're gonna throw at him you hit him in the back or the backside
kickingfrog Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I hate watching pitchers hit (or bunt over a runner on first with 1 out) but at least in the National league they do have to answer for their actions. Edited April 22, 2015 by kickingfrog
FloatnFly Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 i hope gibbons tells sanchez to hit davis in his last inning tonight! in other news, WTB the old Jiminez back
AKRISONER Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 man the red sox are making moves, im interested to see how they fare against some real competition though.
FloatnFly Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 Rested bullpen here we come! Sanchez and Buerhle rolling recently
netminder Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Anybody see that 9th inning yesterday? I literally could not believe what I saw. Maybe the baseball gods are finally smiling on Canada's only entry into American past-time? I seriously think they've been punishing us since the back to back world series in 92-93 and finally had enough when the Expos were primed to keep the world series north of the border in 94.
jimmer Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 I was cursing and swearing at them after they blew the lead. They must have heard me. LOL That was a great comeback with clutch hitting.
AKRISONER Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Posted June 8, 2015 nice little run they have going here, the division is still open for the taking!
Bill Shearer Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 After the strike, it has taken me this long to get back into the Blue Jays. But I'm there now, and will support them to the end of the season, wherever they end up. Good team this year, in spite of some of the stats.
Acountdeleted Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 What the heck is going on tonight? 7 run second. Gibson gets the boot for looking at the first base ump weird.
Walleye72 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Sunday night's 9th inning was the most fun I've had listening to the game on my Grundig in a long time. No Sportsnet, so I can't watch but I actually like to listen the the game on my radio. You could absolutely hear the energy in the building as the inning unfolded. Muni's leadoff double got the crowd going. And then tonight, the starting pitcher chased out with only 1 out. Let's hope they keep it going for a while.
Dave Bailey Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Don't look now, but our boys are on a roll. Oh crap, I just jinxed them.
netminder Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 There is no rightful way the Jays should be a sub-500 team with the talent they have. They'll come back to earth in a little while, but hopefully by that time their record has normalized to what it should have been all season. In the meantime, a bullpen arm would be a godsend. You can really tell they're searching hard for one, trying to promote from within right now. But who do you give up? Also, don't get too far ahead of yourself, but the Yankees have won 6 straight too. I guess it comes down to which team you think is more sustainable right now. I said at the start of the year the Yanks are too old to be competitive, but I guess you should never discount experience.
FloatnFly Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 no, they should not be a sub 500 team with that roster, think it boils down to whos driving the ship....gibbons, time for a change there i think. a consistant starter and a bullpen arm would be great as well
netminder Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I liked the way they came back the next day after that win they did not deserve against the Astros and completely pounded the hell out of the Marlins. I think they need to do the same again today. Although this might be "the test" since I don't think the odds are in their favour with a AAA starter pitching. If they lose today they can't let a streak in the other way start.
Dave Bailey Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Time to break up the Blue Jays, this isn't good for baseball.
AKRISONER Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Posted June 10, 2015 keep rollin rollin rollin lets just hope they dont blow it all away like they did last year with a matching 15 game losing streak lol.
FloatnFly Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Personally I think they are Showcasing Copeland to trade him, show that he's major league ready to draw interest to package him for a big time pitcher! There was no other reason to push Sanchez back, especially after throwing a beauty of a game last outting, 9th inning and only 100 pitches!
