Usually pitchers aren't giving him easy pitches to hit.  At one time he lead the league in walks this year, and he might still be leading in that category.


The second coming of Barry Bonds?......

I'm pretty sure that he is. I think his walk rate is around 25%.

I'm sure they're not easy pitches to hit. I'm questioning why he's really getting any pitches to hit. I haven't watched any Jays games, nor have I read play-by-plays, but it seems just from a numbers standpoint that he would be getting  the Bonds treatment a bit more.

Why can't the Buccos beat the Brewcrew? This is a repeat of the past few seasons.

It looks like we will be losing Harmon Killebrew soon. His giving up his battle with cancer. It's sad. The guy could hit it a mile. He's number 11 on the all time home run list with 573.

I think the atrociousness of the division might outweigh the suckitude of everything Cleveland.

Ah, but you forget the number 1 thing going against them: they are the CLEVELAND Indians

It's not that surprising at all given the small samples.

If you look at it in terms of WAR, it's not confusing at all. The Phillies offense and pitching have been worth 4.8 and 8.1 WAR respectively for a total of 12.9. The Braves have that triple slash of 2.7/7.2/9.9. WAR predicts a 3 game difference which is pretty accurate. Now the Braves will hit better than they have been. However, when the Phillies are healthy they will also.

I maintain that they will finish below .500.  That pitching staff isn't going to hold up.

That's better.  9 to 7 Tigers going into the bottom of the 9th.  It's Papa Grande time.

Alright!!!  Two-run pinch-hit home run from Jhonny Peralta off of the Twins closer and the Tigers now lead 7 to 6.

Following today's game, the Jays get a night off (which they haven't earned), and then play 20 straight games.  The starting pitching has sure been a letdown, which is tiring the bullpen in the process.
