God I hope that was a missed hit and run...

Nice jump.

Absolutely terrible strategy this inning. Also means you can't hit for Flowers if you want to.

Figures that Lillibridge would get thrown out with how bad his overall season has become.

Lilly .......no.

Why?? Why are we trying to steal 2nd down by 2?? Especially with Lilli, he couldn't steal a base if he had a ski mask and a glock

The opposite of last season...bad things just seem to happen when Lilli is in the game.

I think it's time for Lillibridge to find work elsewhere. Total waste of a roster spot.

That inning went from bad to worse.

Maybe we can steal this game, like Dodgers stole last nights vs Phillies..

I don't hate the hit-and-run on 1-0 there. The probability of Alexei grounding into a double play there was really good...3 ground outs tonight now.

With Ramirez, Flowers and Hudson hitting, you weren't counting on a run there, but DeAza's always clutch.

 

Just not our series so far. It's the Blue Jays. What new?

 

That would be 11-28 now? or 11-29?

 

 

Actually, losing these two games isn't the end of the world. It exposes our weaknesses again. Things were just going too well to continue like they had been, so the devil's advocate position is that losing first place might be what our team needs to get back going again and realize there are some obvious areas for improvement.

 

Nobody would have ever expected the Indians to go 5-0 against the Tiggers, either. Especially in DET, now.

And to think that, according to a random Jon Heyman tweet, the Mariners wanted to pay dearly for him in the off-season and we wouldn't part with him. Classic sell high situation

He has been useless all year.

He's fine as a 9th inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. However, he needs to make sure that if he tries to advance a base in these type of situations, there's no doubt he'll be safe. That is the third time, by my count, he's been caught stealing in situations where it was inexcusable. I don't understand the decision making with running for AJ that inning in a 2 run game that inning, especially with the possibility that he could have come up to bat in the 9th in a big spot in case a few more runners reached.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Morrow in the 9th.

Hmmm....Santiago's at only 91-92. Earlier in the season, maybe he was overhyped or too much adrenaline and consistently was 93-94-95.

 

 

Why Toronto isn't bunting here with a speedster like Davis hitting and more insurance sitting at first base with no one out is beyond me...another run here would be game over virtually.

Was there ever a specific player named?

 

We heard all offseason how Lillibridge was the most inquired-about player on our roster.

 

 

The other side of it is at that time, we didn't have Fukudome and he was probably our best back-up to Beckham and Morel falling on their faces, too.

 

But yeah, whatever the return would have been >>> 10X Lillibridge's value now

Four screwballs in that sequence?

 

Were any of them good?

Andddddddddddddd....game.

 

Santiago really has no value whatsoever anymore to this team.

Game. Let's get them tomorrow.

Not to be a downer but game OVA...............Hector Hector.

Well, whatever he threw for the homer, that most assuredly wasn't good.

 

Might as well let him go back down to start in the minors and give Quintana his spot for now.

 

Assuming Humber's not banished from the rotation soon.
