vs. JAYS 5/28 Memorial Day

We don't need a 5th starter until June 9th again if we take advantage of the off-days. If Tommy doesn't step up I would consider going to a 4 man rotation.

Not a bad idea, but you need a 5-man rotation to protect Chen. IMO

Sounds good in theory but with Hammel nursing a sore knee and Chen acclimating to a 5 man rotation I can not agree.

I sure would like to tho.

Step 1: Throw meatballs until every Jays batter is smelling blood.

Step 2: Throw pitches outside of the strike zone.

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit!

Hunter tossed high and in, and low and away after giving up 3 hits in the inning, and the batters get themselves out. That may be all Tommy has to go on today.

Keep in mind we have off-days on May 31 and June 4th, you could still give him an extra day.

    • He threw that fastball right down the shoot on a 1-2 count. That was not a case of Trout being Trout. It was a case of horrible location. I have to believe that it was not his intention to throw it there after he watched us beat Trout several times the night before with hard stuff up in the zone (Trout's only weakness). Maybe the extra day messed up something with Rodriguez's ability to execute? Maybe he just had a bad night? But this was not the case of the Angels being good. It was Grayson who was really bad.
    • But, but they lost. They absorbed a loss. 
    • That’s probably true and Elias said he also didn’t want to call him up if he wasn’t ready to be an everyday player.   So ………. something to keep an eye on.
    • Yea he has looked bad but while it’s fair to point that out, it’s also fair to point that some of this could be attributed to rust, an injury, not having a real ST, not playing in the field as much (I assume since he’s not catching?), etc…I think his timing is likely off and he’s working himself back into things. He has played 15 games. He has a multi hit game in 1/3 of his game so far. You point out all the Ks…what’s funny is all the Ks came in 5 games and he hasn’t struck out the last 4. To me the only thing that bothers me as of right now is the zero walks but it’s not something that would concern me long term.
    • This indicates that his timing is off. And as many have already mentioned, he is pulling off the ball. This probably due to his lower confidence (because he has been scuffling) and not trusting himself enough to stay back and go with the pitch. This will get corrected in due time.
    • That's fine we each are entitled to our opinions.  I think we both want the same thing, which is for Holliday to get it going. As to how he get's there, we will have to see how it plays out.
    • Maybe not so good that his front hip is almost in the first base dugout and he has to get fully extended just to reach a ball on the outside corner.
