TRB05 1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Sick game by Greinke. Nice to have him on my keeper team.Let the Cy Young talk begin. I knew he was on when he gave up that leadoff triple and stranded him at 3rd. He still doesn't seem like he's had his best stuff so far this year... but it's good enough!

KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Somebody better start talking about Zack Greinke. The changeup that he refined in ST has been spectacular....makes his FB even better. The quality of his stuff hasn't been the best he's ever had (though it's clearly been very good), but he has four legitimately great pitches now...FB that he can dial up to 96-97 if necessary, but can spot perfectly at 92-93, a chaneup in the 77-79 range, a curveball that he can throw from mid-70s to 61 mph, and a falling off a cliff slider at 85-88. Combine that with being a genius...wow. Hey Koop, what the hell happened to Tim Melville from last year's draft? I can't find him on any rosters and can't find any info on him being injured. Any idea?From what I can tell, he's in extended spring training (I think that's what they call it) and will open in Rookie-ball later in the year. Nothing to worry about.

CaneBrain 95 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Man, Mike Jacobs and Coco Crisp have been awesome so far.Mike Jacobs will give you 25-35 Homeruns. But he will also end up around .250 and he will strike out a lot when you desperately need some contact.Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites

But he will also end up around .250 and he will strike out a lot when you desperately need some contact. Oh, and flub a pretty routine groundball late in the game to pretty much cost a run.Enjoy.FYPLOL Farnsworth, Jacobs, and Callaspo (defensively speaking of course) doing what they do to lose that game yesterday. I have no complaints with Jacobs and Callaspo really, I mean they are both hitting well enough, but I laughed out loud when they looked like little leaguers booting the ball around and such. Callaspo should have thrown that runner out by 10 feet. Oh well, if they win 3 out of every 4 series all year, they will make the playoffs. The thing I like about the team is that it seems they are not even playing all that well, and yet they are 7-5. The pitching cannot sustain pace the they are on so I hope the bats come around.Farnsworth sucks. Link to post Share on other sites

You gotta be some kind of superidiot to keep going to Farnsworth in those spots when you have a bullpen/closer like ours. Juan Cruz and Joakim Soria are potentially the top back end tandem in the game...yet Kyle Farnsworth has been put into three crucial spots already for no reason and it has resulted in three losses.The scary part....Hillman won't hesitate to do it again. Farnsworth ending up with 15 losses this year won't surprise me one bit. Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Soria out for 3-5 days with "shoulder stiffness."If it's any worse than that.....that's a very big hit to any chance of contention. Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Zack Greinke. 43 innings without an earned run (one unearned run tonight). Back to back complete games.He owns baseball right now. Link to post Share on other sites

Reelishymn 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 This is why I don't go off bragging or prophesizing series wins, you can really look stupid if it goes wrong.Bannister giving up 6 walks, yikes. Barely half of his pitches were strikes.I think there's a legit shot at us (Jays) getting swept going by pitching match-ups alone. Link to post Share on other sites

I expected a split before the series started. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites

But did I see something about not getting more than 3 runs by the pitchers in games 2 and 3You best win the first tonight, because Meche and Greinke are ****ing dealing.

You're the one talking about how easy of a series this would be. I'm still trying to figure out what all these Blue Jays fans think they have to brag about recently...seem to be a loud bunch.......just keep praying that the BoSox and Yanks move out of your division so you have a shot to make the playoffs in the next 20 years.

Listening to Joe Carter's in yesterday's telecast he has a good feeling about this years team. In fact he talked about and compared them to our team of 92 when we started this well and won the WS Link to post Share on other sites
