RUPERTKBD Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Note to MLB.....don't try and run on Lourdes Gurriel's arm.... Now if Budzinski can just teach him how to go back on a ball..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's pretty hard to feel sorry for the Yankees (and even harder to feel sorry for Rougned Odor) but they got absolutely hosed last night against the Red Sox. On a 3-2 count, bottom of the 9th, with runners on first and third, Odor was called out on a back door curve that was at least 6 inches outside....they went on to lose in extras and were swept in the series....

Giants fan here, and I'd say that I'd swap over most of the current Jays team for most of the Giants squad. There is such a great future in Toronto, while the Giants (even though they are currently leading all of MLB) are mostly a group of aging vets and guys who are having career years on one year deals, and who will likely not be back next season (traded for futures or just not re-signed). I'm enjoying the ride, but I don't expect it to last past this season, or possibly it will end sooner should the Giants look to trade high when the playoffs get closer (eg. Gausman). regards, G.

Gurn Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Ump making a few wrong calls in the Jays game. If you can trust the painted box graphic; ump has called 2 strikes, balls against Minoah in the one at bat. Still went 3 up and 3 down in the bottom of 2nd.

Gurn Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Bottom of the 3rd and the ump gives Minoah back one of the strikes he didn't call earlier. Ball was a couple inches high, but called a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Jays hammering Boston 9-1 through 4. Multiple homers, 2 for Hernandez 1 for Semian and 1 for Gurriel. Hernandez with 6 rbi. Vladdy leads league in homers and rbi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I just don't understand... Up 18-4 and you throw a 3-1 slider? This, one pitch after a 3-0 fastball at 97 MPH for strike..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 If their bull pen ever figures it out, or gets better through trade, the team could win a few in a row.. Vladdy now with 21 homers, about a 50 hr pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the the Jays recent flurry of dingers....I couldn't help noticing that a lot of them have been on breaking balls....almost as if they knew what was coming... In reality, I doubt any major league team would do this, considering the recent history with the Astros....I think the more likely issue is that most of these were hanging breaking balls, which kind of ties in with the tweet from Milner....
