But what goes around comes around, I guess. Not too many games ago we were saying some strikes should've been balls for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing_Tall#37 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I thought the ump did not bad on Donaldson called 1 strike a ball, called one ball a strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was awful as a young guy in Texas, but was really good in Detroit. Having an off year in Seattle. But perhaps he can give a couple not bad innings. Career era under 4 if I'm not mistaken.

Green Building Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 At least the ump was consistent, but some of those calls to the pitchers left were easily strikes, but then some of the pitches to the pitchers right that looked inside were strikes. The only disappointment seemed to be on the pitcher's behalf. So many Padre past balls... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Was just reading the Scouting report on Benoit; has a fastball that typically ranges 94-96mph a change up that acts like a sinker with good north-south movement and a Slider that ranges right to left with good movement. Could be effective if Martin calls his pitches effectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Benoit makes about 800k less than Storen so basically a wash in terms of salary but pretty clear both guys could use a change of scenery so good trade for both teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieCorrado Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Storen for Benoit, good pitcher having bad year for good pitcher having bad year... I'll take it. Also big win for the Jays, I was at baseball practice and missed the second half of the game, but listened to the walk off in the car on the way home. I got soooo hyped.

I wish Dan Shulman would do every game for the rest of my life, even post season. Buck isn't bad and neither is the new guy (Matt Devlin) but I love listening to Shulman.

This new guy Matt Devlin is the Raptors play by play guy...Shulman is alright..pretty popular and in demand...I tend to like Buck...at least he played the game ... him and Tabby work well together.
