Pillar hasn't seemed like himself in the field the last few games. Tough catch to make no doubt, but he usually makes it.

bad joey, swing at strikes!

first and second, none out, and the meat of the order can't even move them around, can't even get a ball in fair territory.

Biagini not getting any help from the defense today

And yet another bloop double of course...

More baserunners in rundowns should do the Josh Harrison "turn, fall down and run" move to get the fielder to overrun them. Not because it has a high success rate, but because those rare moments where it does succeed are magical.

Edit: for anyone not familiar, enjoy.

Tough to get much going when this ump is calling anything remotely close to the outside of the plate a strike

Cooper has always been pretty generous. Could see that the Jays knew who was behind the plate when Biagini was stacking those high fastballs (that most umps don't call) with two-seamers down and away.

Unfortunately, that's a lot harder to work with when you've given a few runs away.

That was one of the worst sliders I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing.

haven't liked Grilli in any close games this year including this one.

And there is another homer.

So much for grilli turning it around.

And homer suppression was one of Grilli's calling cards. Ticked up last year, and has been sky high thus far. Velocity is still there, but the command isn't...couple more outings like this and the end is probably nigh.

If there was anyone else in the system ready for the majors, you could make a good case for DFA-ing Grilli.

Bye Grilli... it was fun last year.

dagger · Post #77 » by **dagger** » Sat Jun 3, 2017 7:43 pm

PIt's kind of sad when a guy hangs on just a bit too long and exits his career on a down note.

Post #78 » by **Schad** » Sat Jun 3, 2017 7:44 pm

...or perhaps it won't take a couple more outings.
