Hey guys, lifelong Blue Jays fan here. If you get tagged when you're off the base you're out, right? So why don't the defenders just push you off the base and then tag you?
>>66803240
the date keeps shortening.
Hey Jaysbros lifelong Jaysbro here, diehard to the core. I gotta ask you guys, from bro to another, what does it mean when a player is "out"? Does that mean they're gay? Because to me that is sexy.
>>66803240

>his team doesn't have the best record an run differential in baseball
Jays bros, lifelong here. So, when the ball hits on the inside of that white line thing (lol i dont know how to really describe it, but like where the line goes all the way up the field, and the area in between that and the seats you know?) does that not count as a hit?
>Forcing 50 pitches in the 1st

Legit angry to be honest senpai. I gotta go take my blood pressure pills now because of that pic.
My fellow good Blue Jays sirs, good evening!
If you will excuse me (and as upstanding chaps, I am sure you will), I have but a simple inquiry: When the ball is put into play by the batter, and there is already a player on the "bases", does it matter if you tag the plate or player specifically to get them out?
Just struggling myself with the concept since as long as, oof I don't know, since I was 10 or so when I became a real hardcore follower and all.
Thanks again for the response fellas!
>>66803503
It's called the slappy stick they use it to slap the sphere across the pitch to reach the four wickets in succession
>mfw autists who are utterly obsessed
Hey sports, lifelong Jays fan here. Why does the guy with the stick run to those white bags in that particular order? Why not just run directly to the white bag you want to stand on?
You may only reply to this post if 4 out of 5 teams in your division are .500 or above.
Not so fast any non central division.
Guys, jays lifelong fan here. Question: Does the "bullpen" refer to all the pitchers on the team?
I heard it once and tried to talk about my favorite starter, RA Dickey, with a fellow lifelong friend of mine, and he got all crotchety about it.
any help?
>>66803641
It's very important to touchdown all the bags correctly or the umps will call a foul and your shortstop will have to shoot free throws
>>66803577
if the ball is caught without hitting the ground then the base runner has to "tag" as in touch the base he is on with his body usually his foot before he tries to run to the next base
>>66803704
Thank you my dapper chap!
If you will once more excuse me, can you explain to me the concept of a "bock" again?
It's rather confusing and all (as I am sure you are well aware).
Hey, maybe a fellow Jays fan can help me out. Why doesn't the batter just turn around and see where the catcher puts his glove so they know what pitch is coming?
Any Jays fans here know what is the name of this particular sport? Lifelong Jays fan here btw.
>>66803756
That's how you get hurt m8.
Lifelong Jays fan here, known in the rougher parts of Toronto as "Edwin's Bottom Bird" hahaha!
So, I was wondering what it meant for a play to be a "4-6-3 double play"
what the heck do those numbers mean?
>>66803799
>actually responding
>>66803842
I'm pretty sure those are the numbers you're supposed to use for your lottery ticket.
Jays fan here. A lot of times after a foul ball I see the pitcher get the ball back almost immediately. How do they get the ball back so fast?
>>66803746
its spelled balk, it means a pitcher going into his pitching motion either set or windup but not releasing the ball, its up to the umps judgement most of the time as some pitchers have weird movements in their motion but they do it every pitch so they get away with it

How come you can't switch a player out and then put him back in after an inning or two? Is that considered cheating?

I think that's a perfectly reasonable prediction if he has a meltdown like in the second half of last year.

>>66804368

You are literally thinking of that "confused which Asian is playing" meme on /sp/ and bringing that into reality.
>>66804517
alright, alright already, so I got them confused. I'm not a casual, my memory is just fuzzy
I like Taz though, he's always been solid as a long relief guy. Makes me think back to Okajima.
Who /bestteaminbaseball/ here?
>>66804461
Let me expand if my comments weren't clear:
Koji got hurt after pitching a 1-2-4 inning against Detroit, with the 3rd out coming against Ian Kinsler
However, came at a cost. Kinsler smacked one straight at his arm and he fractured his arm and was out for the season at that point (koji finished the play, even with a smashed arm).
So Tazawa was moved to the 9th.
And he was FUCKING TERRIBLE at it. Which was shocking, because he was having a GREAT season as the setup man in the 8th inning.

No one is going sit through 20+ minutes of that bullshit, dude. But if you're suggesting Canada invented baseball, there's no proof to that at all.
This is simply the first well-documented game of baseball. Nothing suggests it was invented there. And it's still very different from modern baseball, much closer to "town ball" which was also being played in the US during this time.
This talks about town ball being played in the US during the 1820's/30's.
http://sabr.org/research/early-years-philadelphia-baseball
There's also some evidence of baseball (not town ball, baseball) being mentioned in an 1820's New York newspaper.

Why is Jake Peavy so terrible?
Do people just have his number because he's been in the league so long and his stuff isn't what it used to be. I'd say trade him but we wouldn't get anything we could use or anything of value
What do guys? Start Heston over Peavy so our rotation is

>>66808921
>Beating up on the Barves

I'm honestly thinking about converting to a blue jays "fan" just for the memes.
>>66810318
Part of it was Coors and part of it is him just being really fucking old. In a non-meme park, you can basically expect 5 innings (6 on a really good day) of 3-run ball. Probably best to use him for a couple of months while trying out Heston in the bullpen. When Peavy hits the DL due to age and/or being terrible, slot Heston into the rotation and then call up Blackburn as LR and to wait for Cain to implode and take his spot
>>66810642
Cain will do good this year. I can feel it in my cojones. He just won't get any run support like usual because he's cursed for some reason

Astros, You better make the playoffs. I want the best for Ken Giles
>>66818736
I still hope Giles becomes and stays an electric, dominant closer though.
>>66817544
Robbie Ray vs. Ross Stripling
>>66818772
Giles has given up like 3 home runs in the 3 innings he pitched, directly causing the loss in I think 2 of those games. For the talent that we gave up for him he certainly isn't giving a good first impression.
>>66818459
Once our pitchers stop sucking the massive dick that they are right now the Astros will quickly get back on track with the offense that they have, and that is also with Springer, Valbuenna and Gomez doing absolutely nothing at the plate right now. Even Castro is contributing more than them. Frankly I haven't liked Gomez since the beginning, for some reason people hyped him up a lot over here and while he is good on defense in CF he really can't hit from what I have seen. His swing is also painful to watch and I am shocked he hasn't injured himself.
Randal Grichuk passed Brandon Moss on the bases during a home run.
He should have been out, but the umpires missed it and the Brewers were asleep at the wheel and didn't appeal it.
