Blue Jays 2008 Season
- Thread starter salsamarc
- Start date
Troy:
40/152, .263, 15 runs, 2 hr, 28 rbis, 0sb
Rolen:
24/81, .296, 8runs, 2hrs, 10rbis, 2sb
pretty even in my opinion (of Course Glaus has 51 more at bats, but Rolen has been a spark in a dead offense nonetheless)

When the hell will that lousy batting coach be fired?? Why did they get rid of Mickey Brantley? FIRE THE BATTING COACH NOW!!!
Hitting with runners in scoring position. Probably one of the most important stats in the game.
that my friend is NOT going to happen anytime soon, the batting coach was handpicked by the idiot who works as a GM and until he goes and Gibbons is also replaced we are going to have to waitDoc Holliday said:
I was there.... its so frustrating. They had other chances earlier in the game too. I think it was the fifth and they have runners on first and second with no one out and Zaun coming to the plate. They are down a run and they have Zaun swinging away instead of bunting... I'm going insane and then it happens... Zaun hits into a double play which effectively kills the inning. Its not like the Jays are swinging hot bats, why in the world does Gibbons not bunt in that situation?teassoc said:Another weak batting performance especially in the 9th with one out and bases loaded. Glad I wasn't there.
teassoc said:Same old story. At the end of the 8th innings grounded into double play 3 times. 17 LOB so far
Just fucking sicking.
TRADE SOME PITCHING FOR BATTING.
Obviously you can't win with Pitching alone, the Jays are proving that.
I suggest Trading Rios and McGowen for Joey Votto. or another young offensively gifted stud.
Batting Coach has nothin' to do with anything.salsamarc said:
Three years ago the Jays were one of the top hitting teams.
Two years ago the couldn't hit worth shit.
Last year they replaced the hitting coach and nothing happened.
TRADE SOME FOR HITTING WE HAVE THE TOP RATED PITCHING STAFF
Man these guy are delusional.

If he has a good eye at the plate why does he have more strike outs then hits this season? What ever these guys are on I want some.

Wilkerson became a "free agent" because Seattle thought he sucked.

I told you before Hunter if you want news about the Jays DO NOT go to their website.....they are fucking high....
*** McGowan and Rios to be traded ???? you are also high Ray
*** Brownie I have been asking the same question (with regards to bunting for quite a while my conclusion is that either Gibbons is too stupid to do it ot Big Beak put a stop to that)

I said a while back that Burnett was overvalued and would be hard to move.But now I learn that he is in the last year of his contract and is likely not to come back. The question is should the Jays move him? If they do that would put Percy in the rotation. I'm thinking the Yankees would be all over this one.
The Yankees are now in 'panic mode', however, I can't see them going after Burnett. It is no secret that they have their eyes on a much bigger prize - that being CC Sabathia, who will become available at the end of the season. There is going to be a lot of money available next year (Giambi, Pettitte, Farnsworth, Abreu, Mussina - all have contracts up), plus the new stadium will bring in a ton of money.The Oracle said:
They are already starting the transition of Joba from reliever to starter, as was the plan. IMO, I see this making their overall pitching weaker. There isn't a better 8-9th inning duo in baseball than Joba and Rivera. Somehow, I don't think teams will sweat too much with the idea of facing Latroy Hawkins/Kyle Farnsworth and Rivera. The only fear of H and F is that they will throw at your head.
It isn't really the last year of Burnett contract but he can opt out of the deal this year. If he is as overvalued as you say, he won't be opting out.The Oracle said:
I still think there is a trade market for Burnett but J.P. "likes his team" right now.
AJ can (and barring catastrophic injury, probably will) opt out of his contract and leave two years and over $22 million on the table because some sucker will give him more years and more money - for a .500 pitcher who will tantalize you with his electric stuff and leave you asking why he isn't winning 20 games with a sub 3.00 ERA every year...The Oracle said:
