Revere will give you your singles and not much else. He's bound to go on a dry spell and go 5 for 50 where he's absolutely useless. His speed is already wasted batting in front of the gauntlet.

Quality post. Thanks for the information.

Someone take a dump in your lunch today? Don't know what your problem is.

No just someone that writes words and provides no sufficient evidence it's going to happen.

Yeah, we're only three weeks removed from people calling Revere a useless scrub who shouldn't even be in the lineup. His .459 BABIP over the past seventeen games isn't going to last, just as the .250 BABIP he carried in his first fifteen wasn't.

Which is why since he's so hot you might as well put him leading off and get some runners on for the big boys unlike Donaldson and Bautista hitting solos. Ideally Tulo hits better and Revere goes back to 9th. I was only disputing calling Revere a complete waste at leadoff.

I wish other broadcasts would have a pitch tracker. Right now I think only Rogers and Fox have them, which is unacceptable in **** 2015.

Homer commentators are also unbearable.

I think the refs know when it is being used and it keeps them honest. In the Yankee games, that Sportsnet have been showing, one notices that the low strike is given to Yankee pitchers, but not the opposition.

What exactly is the theory here? (My theory is that Toronto fans complain about refs being crooked in every sport.) Is it that the umpires are TOLD to call things differently for the Yankees? If they are told, who is telling them? MLB? ESPN? Steinbrenner's ghost? Or is every umpire a Yankee fan?

One thing I've noticed is that when the Blue Jays get calls in their favour, very little is said about it. Today, for instance, @BlueJaysUmp analyzed the home plate umpire calls and found he got 9 wrong. Eight were wrong in favour of the Blue Jays and one was wrong in favour of the Orioles. I didn't see one person talk about this. If things had gone the other way, I guarantee you people would have been complaining that the umps cost us the game -- like the Phillies game where the ump made a mistake, which on its own apparently cost us the game. The other 27 outs were mere window dressing and no bad calls went the Jays way in that game -- apparently.

Simply put, I propose that the umpires are human and probably not all crooked. They err, but they probably don't cheat. Over the course of a season, mistakes they make will pretty much even out.

It was an observation. An observation that had nothing to do with games involving the Blue Jays. I do not think the Blue Jays have gotten the short end of the stick in any game I have watched. That they give the Yankees the lower strike may not be cheating at all, it could be subconscious. The knowledge that a pitch tracker is used could alter that sub-conscious.
