I think Colby is far enough removed from TLR. He’ll in his second arb year.
He’s told his dad to back off and he’s a father himself.
He’s shown he has the tools,when healthy.
As much as everybody thinks all that doesn’t matter, I think he will try his hardest to play well and consistant. That’ll force the Jays to offer a contract to buy out his final arb year and FA years.Thats what AA has done in the past and Colby’s agent knows that.
Next year Colby’s playing for as big of a contract as possible.
Just a guess of course.( before Stoeten shows up and says ” he doesn’t know that for sure”)
wow, if Delabar keeps working that velocity program and it is really that effective, he could make more money from selling that than his salary in baseball
“It turns out that the former pitching coaches who developed the technique studied tennis player and discovered that many powerful servers don’t develop shoulder injuries despite the incredible tasks they’re asking that part of their body to perform (you’ve heard of “tennis elbow” but probably not “tennis shoulder”). The reason, apparently, is because tennis players hold on to their rackets through the entire serve. In turn, the muscles in the back of the shoulder (used at the bottom of the stroke) build up as much strength as those in the front. The result: stronger shoulders all around that don’t injure as often. When this idea is applied to baseball players — the throwers hold on to the weighted ball rather than release it so as to build up those back-of-shoulder muscles at the bottom of their pitch — their velocity increases and their chance of injury decreases. “
I wonder if the Jays want to scoop up this guy’s Velocity program as a proprietary thing for their prospects, every position player could benefit from improved throwing as well

Oddball: [Later: Oddball is looking through binoculars at the bridge] Still up!
Oddball: [planes fly and bomb the bridge] … No it ain’t. See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarty?
Moriarty: That ain’t my fault, Oddball, I’ve done nothing but have good thoughts about that damn bridge ever since we left!
hi, I see there was a post today related to my Delabar comments – so, how’s it going?
fun stuff talking baseball, gotta have fun and I sure don’t think I was attacking the boys,
anyways, this is a very, VERY cool discussion Jonah Keri and Brian Kenny had regarding PEDs and advanced stats. Keri has an interesting self-revelation of his own internal discussion about advanced stats and how to actually interpret what is being uncovered and Kenny keeps making the point that stats, even advanced stats, are a measuring device (not a prediction vehicle). Have a great long weekend everyone.
oh and if you just want to download the mp3 of this, here is the link (you just have to scroll down to 8/23 Triangle post)
peace Drew, good piece (though, between you and me, did you REALLY watch Delabar pitch more than 2 or 3 times before the trade? or was it more boxscoring that when into your original opinion?)
There have been a lot of complaints about our starting rotation, however the way I see it we are close to being complete. Hear me out:
1) Morrow
2) Ricky*
3) free-agent**
4) Happ
5) Villa
*Assuming Ricky can get it together and not shit the bed every outing. We know Ricky is a legitimate #2 if he straightings out.
**Can be 2nd or 3rd. Depending on the name.
Happ is a talent and a half over Cecil and has shown enough to be a fourth starter. Henderson needs to go down and develop a third (strike out) pitch. Or hang out with Delabar for the off season.
Villa needs to be signed as the fifth starter. He has been quality for two years. I don’t know what AA is waiting for. And I don’t want to hear about sample sizes.
Offense. Stellar if everyone can stop f@cking injuring themselves. Lawrie, Cletus, Bautista, Chicken Wing are the first four. Remember that brief period they were together…ah memories. Christ, they were lighten it up.
After those four ball-crushers, free agent DH ( this is where Bautista goes and gets Ortiz), Escobar, Mathis, Sierra and Hech.
Hech goes to short and Escobars big body goes to second or third ( has the arm for the corner).
Rajai Davis is the 4th outfielder
JP….. I like him however, he is expendable and could bring back something of value.
Bullpen. AA don’t mess with the pen. Delabar, Lincoln, Lyon, Perez (when he comes back), Janseen, and the GodfatherOliver. I know that is only six.
Santos will be back next season, so that is eight.
ThIs pen is a thing of beauty.
One more thing: More Oliver. Watching that sweeping curve….. and batts whiffing through it, brings smiles to the kids faces.
If I remember correctly his labrum wasnt torn, just frayed and he’s expected back at ST in 2013. Of course, they’ll probably want to limit his workload.
Henderson Alvarez is the best reason that the Jays should re-sign Carlos V. Holy fuck he needs to be in the minors where he can develop into a pitcher with a repertoire of pitches to work with on any given day
KJ’s bat is obviously lacking this year and he has missed some fielding opportunities, but boy does he stay in well for the turn on the double play – that one with Zobrist right in on him was great – I think he actually shoved Zobrist a bit after the throw
and nice leadership shown by EE there with (at least assuming we are correct that he chewed his ass/encouraged him) that pep talk to Alvarez before the Longoria AB
I went to spring training for two weeks this year, such high hopes. Now I undestand why it’s best to not get too excited about a great spring training record. Still fun to be there.
just an idea but I think it would be cool if the DJF/Getting Blanked crew recruited a sports physician or trainer/physiotherapist to be on the podcast every so often to help explain some of the medical issues regarding the players – might be interesting, insightful, keep us up to date on the latest or coming advances. Just a thought.
with UofT medical corridor and York physio program there has to be at least some local baseball savvy doc who wouldn’t mind talking sports injuries and proper mechanics,etc
There are some great guys out there.I’ve seen the battery of tests by trained Kinesologists (sp?) administered to players.
Don’t know whether the GB crew could handle it. It’s not stats or fangraph related. I cringe at the thought of what questions they’d ask the guy.
The only explanation has to be that Davis thought he would go on his own because he has the green light and Rasmus had a brain cramp and thought he’d missed a double-steal sign which is why he held up in the middle of the bases because the poor schmuck can’t think and run at the same time. Dumb move by Davis. And Rasmus does not strike me as the thinking-man’s ball player.
There is no way Farrell could have sent them in that situation. At least I think there is no way…
2 outs.
Pitcher just issued 2 walks.
Your best hitter at the plate with runners at 1st and 2nd,so you can’t walk EE.
Your fastest runner at 2nd, if he’s at third there’s no advantage.
The guy on first is coming off a groin injury.
Any single scores Davis.
Why the fuck are you stealing,especially with the pitcher struggling?
If Davis went on his own,he should be benched.
I’m ok with that, except a wild pitch could score a runner from 3rd and the pitcher was struggling. In addition, a runner at 3rd would put just a tiny bit more pressure on the pitcher.
Lots of people have said it but the Jays are really starting to get to the point of possibly being able to consistently replenish the bullpen internally, the depth appears good:
Lefties: Oliver, Loup, Cecil, Perez (late next year), Crawford maybe
Right: Janssen, Lincoln, Delabar, Santos hopefully, Chad Beck, David Carpenter hopefully, then further down in the minors – Stroman, Sam Dyson, Stilson, Danny Barnes
and then like the Rays are doing the parade of failed starters may be next (not saying they fail, but if they do, then bullpen) like Jenkins, McGuire, Carreno, etc, etc.
Zoom Zoom ZOOM!
Is this the only game threat till Tuesday? Just askin.
Does that Red Bull stuff work?
A little bird told me that you’re no longer flying under the radar, RADAR. Red Bull won’t be the answer.
Are you thinking of using it as an after-shave?
Naw, I got Old Spice. maybe I’ll go with Aqua Velva.
Does the Red Bull help keep you up?
Well that’s a loaded question!
Where hell’s Dillon??
YES! YES! YES!
Baltimore leads 3-0 in the 2nd.
Rajai done good. Kudos.
Buck is as unfamiliar with the definition of ironic as Alanis.
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/irony
God I love that site.
It’s like rain on your opening day.
Well the fielders were out throwing before the game, and, whaddyaknow, Rajai Davis throws a one-hopper right on the money to gun down Matt Joyce!
i want to see morrow do well but i also want the rays to win and close that damn gap on the orioles .. fuck the o’s !!!!!
Please re-examine your priorities.
Yeah I think everyone needs to deal with the fact that the Orioles are a pretty solid team this year.
Run differential still makes me think luck, but who knows?
Lets hope something good happens that this won’t be the only post for days and days.
Something good happened.
Something really good happened.
Something good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUxhNWDlGts
Encarnasheeon has left the yard
Encarsmashion
Lind looked like Coop on that.
Morrows got his shit working.
I prefer the term “shit” to “stuff”.
Yes. Noted.
His shit is getting stronger.
Morrow does indeed have some filthy shit
Well Anthopolous, this is the last day you can trade Rajai to San Fran for Joe Panik.
Make it so.
Engage.
Sierra does himself no favours.
He spent 4 years in grade 12, he’s no dummy.
It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin under.
As per usual, Rajai gives, but he also gives away.
Brandon Morrow is all kinds of awesome.
He’s really uncoiling his shit tonight.
Can you imagine what it would have been like to have him all season.
I honestly believe he’d be in the hunt with Weaver and Verlander for Hardware.
As do I
hum
Yes, Maddon is awesome. Thank you Buck and Tabs.
So dudes (and dudettes) – what are we expecting from Mr. Rasmus next year?
He’s quite the conundrum.
Conundrums rarely solve themselves.
He’s still only 25, he may figure it out. But what do I know, I buy lottery tickets.
I think Colby is far enough removed from TLR. He’ll in his second arb year.
He’s told his dad to back off and he’s a father himself.
He’s shown he has the tools,when healthy.
As much as everybody thinks all that doesn’t matter, I think he will try his hardest to play well and consistant. That’ll force the Jays to offer a contract to buy out his final arb year and FA years.Thats what AA has done in the past and Colby’s agent knows that.
Next year Colby’s playing for as big of a contract as possible.
Just a guess of course.( before Stoeten shows up and says ” he doesn’t know that for sure”)
I think that’s fair.
I should note that I also think that he’ll be fine next year… just interested in others’ opinions.
Thanks.
Ya’ll can ‘spect a few dingers & ya’ll ‘ll git some dough.
Listen listen what I say.. Play the game the Canadian way.. LETS GO! LETS GO!

Dutch, you make an appearance.
Long Tall Sally, she built sweet, she got everything, that Uncle John need.
If Santos comes back and is chuckin darts does he get to close again?.
Jannsen has been great.
It should be Janssen’s to lose, not that I think he would. Santos takes a number.
What was Santos’ injury again?….elbow, labrum, cornea? can’t recall, kind of lost track.
I don’t remeber either, I think maybe his upper dorsimus?
Shoulder, not major.surgery.
CAN’T TOUCH THIS! duh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh, nuh nuh……
I don’t know how long it lasts, but i god a big boner for Delabar. And my dick’s MADE OF STEEL
That was a nice lil’ dance Delabar.
The Blue Jays have a very good major league scouting staff. See: Delabar, Steve
wow, if Delabar keeps working that velocity program and it is really that effective, he could make more money from selling that than his salary in baseball
this is the website of the program that supposedly got him from 89 to that 96 – apparently it is run by a buddy of his
oops,
http://www.playersdugout.com/velocity-story.asp
Ya know, if Cecil and Laffey got a hold of that program….the mind boggles!
A brief description:
“It turns out that the former pitching coaches who developed the technique studied tennis player and discovered that many powerful servers don’t develop shoulder injuries despite the incredible tasks they’re asking that part of their body to perform (you’ve heard of “tennis elbow” but probably not “tennis shoulder”). The reason, apparently, is because tennis players hold on to their rackets through the entire serve. In turn, the muscles in the back of the shoulder (used at the bottom of the stroke) build up as much strength as those in the front. The result: stronger shoulders all around that don’t injure as often. When this idea is applied to baseball players — the throwers hold on to the weighted ball rather than release it so as to build up those back-of-shoulder muscles at the bottom of their pitch — their velocity increases and their chance of injury decreases. “
Hmm, sounds somewhat believable.
You’re a real man, Deion!
The Jays will have the best record in the A.L during the month of Sept. just to confuse the fuck out of people.
+1
I believe it’s called Maple Leaf’s syndrome
No they won’t it will be a contending team BUT I like your sense of irony though
Ben Francisco is coming back to the AL East. Rays traded for him for PTBNL.
I wonder if the Jays want to scoop up this guy’s Velocity program as a proprietary thing for their prospects, every position player could benefit from improved throwing as well
http://www.thenewsenterprise.com/content/baseball-velocity-taking-0915
really?? don’t we kind of know Casey Janssen’s struggles on three straight days of work??
Game. Fuck you, Rays.
Wowwwwwwwwwwww
FUCKING CRAZY ENDING
I was at the game tonight. What an exciting finish!
So that wasn’t you in the other thread?
Oh Oh.
Of course it was!
HE SAVED IT FOR TODAY
Nice…
Sierra has found his mojo.
Well I gotta see the replay but Holy Shit!!
OK Johnson went to bowl over mathis and not for the plate…so Holy Shit! what a throw !, what a block! what a great game!!
WHO CARES ABOUT MATHIS’ BAT! HE’S THE BEST ROADBLOCK IN THE LEAGUE
GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moises, lead us to the Promised Land!! (umm, Photoshop opp)
Jeff Mathis. Unbelievable.
looks like a grenade went off in his helmet.
+1
Moises flashing that 80 grade smile – love that kid
Fuck what a finish….one of the best plays to end a game that I have seen.
Not an easy catch either by Sierra…He’s my LF for 2013!!
Holy Moises!! (tomorrow’s headlines today)
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/moses-image.jpg
A-Mazing! What a great finish! And finally, FINALLY, these guys are looking like a team not a bunch of players. Excellent game!
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/094/f/9/Moses_by_GENZOMAN.jpg
Sierra is a charismatic little bastard isn`t he
His smile is imp-like–asking “how can you not like me?”
To which I can offer nothing but the fondest of looks in response.
Great finish, I thought that ball was going over Sierra’s head with that bouncy turf. What a freaking cannon tho!
Mathis gave it to Johnson too, what a lick with the shoulder,
Eat shit Rays!
Oh, so this is what a crappy offense looks like.
Thanks for clarifying, Tampa.
It’s so nice to be on the right side of a schooling.
I have not been able to watch either game (West Coast) but am I right in hearing that this series will not be lost to the Rays?
Right. How can it?
This is a rare, rare thing. When’s the last series the Jays beat Tampa more than once? I honestly can’t remember.
I’m not even going to look it up but I think a streak has been averted.
As much as I would love Sierra to be legit, didn’t we have a charismatic non-prospect OF who put up pretty good numbers in a short stint last year.
“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?” (Oddball)

Carl, you must be as old as dirt, or at least as old as RADAR.

Oddball: [groans] Don’t hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bridge will be there and it will be there. It’s a mother, beautiful bridge, and it’s gonna be there. Ok?
Oddball: [Later: Oddball is looking through binoculars at the bridge] Still up!
Oddball: [planes fly and bomb the bridge] … No it ain’t. See what sending out them negative waves did, Moriarty?
Moriarty: That ain’t my fault, Oddball, I’ve done nothing but have good thoughts about that damn bridge ever since we left!
Cant remember…you wouldnt have a name for us would you?
Jose Bautista? Though a full season isn’t what I’d call a short stint…
If Baltimore’s doing what they’re doing….I don’t understand anything anymore.
Every statistical plot has an outlier.
Baltimore is that outlier.
This baseball god, he is indeed a tricky prick.
Note: Nothing bad will happen to me do to the fact I did not capitalize the term god.

https://twitter.com/DevonFoxCSN/status/241688292620382210/photo/1
Best game of the year, not doubt.
Made me remember what I love about baseball.
When that ball was hit, I was sure we were doomed to lose in extras.
My favourite Jay is Morrow.
My 2nd favourite Jay is Colby.
My 3rd favourie Jay is Casey.
There have been a lot of complaints about our starting rotation, however the way I see it we are close to being complete. Hear me out:

5) Villa

**Can be 2nd or 3rd. Depending on the name.
Happ is a talent and a half over Cecil and has shown enough to be a fourth starter. Henderson needs to go down and develop a third (strike out) pitch. Or hang out with Delabar for the off season.
Villa needs to be signed as the fifth starter. He has been quality for two years. I don’t know what AA is waiting for. And I don’t want to hear about sample sizes.
Opinions wanted

Santos will be back next season, so that is eight.
ThIs pen is a thing of beauty.
One more thing: More Oliver. Watching that sweeping curve….. and batts whiffing through it, brings smiles to the kids faces.
Opinions wanted
Thats seven not eight.
Well, Perez won’t be back because of the TJ, likely. Loup has benn just fine, though.
Loup, Oliver, Lyon, Santos, Delabar, Lincoln, Santos would be fine with me.
Would sound pretty good to me.
Lyon is a FA. And with Frasor coming back and under contract, unlikely that we resign Lyon.
Lets not count on Santos just yet.
If I remember correctly his labrum wasnt torn, just frayed and he’s expected back at ST in 2013. Of course, they’ll probably want to limit his workload.
Holy shit. Elliot Johnson’s face http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/rays/content/elliot-johnson-morning-after
Don’t mess with Mathis!
He’s a f***ing catcher, that’s what catchers do.
Houston, we have a problem.
It has occurred to me that Henderson Alverez is not a very good pitcher.
He needs to shuffle off to Buffalo.
Henderson Alvarez is the best reason that the Jays should re-sign Carlos V. Holy fuck he needs to be in the minors where he can develop into a pitcher with a repertoire of pitches to work with on any given day
I wish I didn’t belong to such a lazy hipster douchefuck.
This blog is dead, deader than Ted your owner STOETEN! FUCK YOU

way to go EE
The Chicken Wing just never gets old, does it?
Nope
Hi RADAR
Howdy.
You at the game today?
Nope. Home today.
He got into it.
THE FORCE OF HIS SWING KNOCKS HOWELL DOWN TO HIS FAT ASS
I’d like to see Baltimore sweep Yankees this weekend.
Now you’re talking!
Prior to that swing I had Harry Doyle bouncing around my head
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9myYc8Pn8o
So close. Try again.
Alvarez–When he’s good, he’s very good, but when he’s bad…
And when has he been good?
KJ’s bat is obviously lacking this year and he has missed some fielding opportunities, but boy does he stay in well for the turn on the double play – that one with Zobrist right in on him was great – I think he actually shoved Zobrist a bit after the throw
and nice leadership shown by EE there with (at least assuming we are correct that he chewed his ass/encouraged him) that pep talk to Alvarez before the Longoria AB
I think your assumption is correct, I doubt they were talkin about the blonde in the thrid row. or what to have for supper tonight.
Gonna be interesting to see how different the team will look coming out of ST 2013,compared to today.
Do you think if they lost a few more ST games they might NOT collapse in the middle of the season next year?
I went to spring training for two weeks this year, such high hopes. Now I undestand why it’s best to not get too excited about a great spring training record. Still fun to be there.
This season started out with a merry drunkfest of the Monkey Army as the Jays won a marathon game in Cleveland. And now it is just this.
Did I just hear Tabler say “Adonis”? Shake it for your boy Cano Tabby!
just an idea but I think it would be cool if the DJF/Getting Blanked crew recruited a sports physician or trainer/physiotherapist to be on the podcast every so often to help explain some of the medical issues regarding the players – might be interesting, insightful, keep us up to date on the latest or coming advances. Just a thought.
with UofT medical corridor and York physio program there has to be at least some local baseball savvy doc who wouldn’t mind talking sports injuries and proper mechanics,etc
Karen, you know any?
There are some great guys out there.I’ve seen the battery of tests by trained Kinesologists (sp?) administered to players.
Don’t know whether the GB crew could handle it. It’s not stats or fangraph related. I cringe at the thought of what questions they’d ask the guy.
@dm
No I don’t know of any colleagues who specialize in sports medicine unfortunately.
I like your idea though.
WHY!
Oh what the fuck was that?
Wow…
Why in the fuck would you attempt a double steal with 2 out and EE at the plate?
Fuckin Farrell.
Davis was in scoring position.
I don’t get it.
The steal call from the GM’s box – “draft picks, draft picks”
I hope that’s the answer because the alternative scares me.
The only explanation has to be that Davis thought he would go on his own because he has the green light and Rasmus had a brain cramp and thought he’d missed a double-steal sign which is why he held up in the middle of the bases because the poor schmuck can’t think and run at the same time. Dumb move by Davis. And Rasmus does not strike me as the thinking-man’s ball player.
There is no way Farrell could have sent them in that situation. At least I think there is no way…
Either that or last night’s blue moon gave Farrell a false sense of confidence.
I agree
2 outs.
Pitcher just issued 2 walks.
Your best hitter at the plate with runners at 1st and 2nd,so you can’t walk EE.
Your fastest runner at 2nd, if he’s at third there’s no advantage.
The guy on first is coming off a groin injury.
Any single scores Davis.
Why the fuck are you stealing,especially with the pitcher struggling?
If Davis went on his own,he should be benched.
I’m ok with that, except a wild pitch could score a runner from 3rd and the pitcher was struggling. In addition, a runner at 3rd would put just a tiny bit more pressure on the pitcher.
With 2 out , the pitcher is going after the batter. Davis on 2nd or 3rd makes no difference.
You rang?
and I am getting warmed up
davis went on his own Cleatus just got scared and ran.
Bullshit.
Buck’s wrong.It’s the only reasoning he can come up with because it don’t make any sense.
Lots of people have said it but the Jays are really starting to get to the point of possibly being able to consistently replenish the bullpen internally, the depth appears good:
Lefties: Oliver, Loup, Cecil, Perez (late next year), Crawford maybe
Right: Janssen, Lincoln, Delabar, Santos hopefully, Chad Beck, David Carpenter hopefully, then further down in the minors – Stroman, Sam Dyson, Stilson, Danny Barnes
and then like the Rays are doing the parade of failed starters may be next (not saying they fail, but if they do, then bullpen) like Jenkins, McGuire, Carreno, etc, etc.
OR, and this is one thing contending teams do consistantly to remain in contention, trade your excess.
nice story here about Syndegaard’s last regular season start
http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120831&content_id=37690018&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb
Playoffs!!
Farrell’s got that haunted look again. I can’t tell if he’s pissed or looking for a rug to crawl under.
and I guess Vancouver clinched a playoff berth so 3 of the 7 minor league teams will be in the playoffs (with Dunedin and Lansing)
Lind?
Are you among the contingent
(fuck) that wants Lind to fail for fear of what it means for next year?
Cool!
I’m ok with that. Linds hit was inches from being a DP but it snuck thru…wtf, it’s gone against us enough times..
Not THIS F@ing hot dog !! geez i dislike this guy.
Linder is a major beaut. Haters eat a ric
Just bring the run in ok?
