MFYs x Jays -- notta lotta scorin'.

There's not a lot of scoring going on in the Yankees vs. Jays game.

There is a below average amount of successful offensive plays occurring in the New York Yankees versus Toronto Blue Jays contest in Major League Baseball tonight.

The act of a position player legitimately crossing home plate while the baseball is in play is not an occurrence which is probable to happen in significant quantities during the last few hours of this rotation period of the Earth as the Major League Baseball contest between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays progresses towards its conclusion.

This is a big chance for the Blue Jays to hang a loss on the Yankees in the Sky Dome.

Brandon Morrow has 3 complete games, 3 shutouts, a 3.28 ERA, and his innings-to-walks ratio is better than 3-to-1 (109.67 Innings Pitched, 35 Walks.)

He had a bad outing against the Rays in his last start, but he pitched 6 shutout innings against the Red Sox in his previous start.

Morrow has this. ;)

Eatin' crow.

Nice job Lawrie! I'm now eating crow.

That home run put the Blue Jays up 2-0. Impressive! I am now beginning to eat my words.

A play which just occurred moments ago in the Major League Baseball contest between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays resulted in two position players legitimately crossing home plate while the baseball was in play; said baseball was in play due to a player named Brett Lawrie hitting the ball beyond the playing field. As a result of this play, I am presently attempting to retract my previous statements regarding my observation that the act of a position player legitimately crossing home plate while the baseball is in play is not an occurrence which is probable to happen in significant quantities during the last few hours of this rotation period of the Earth as the Major League Baseball contest between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays progresses towards its conclusion.

Or you could say.

Lawrie goes boom.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      The Ian Happ comments are misguided as teams have their own non public defensive metrics. Re Cowser — where have you noticed any reluctance to dive?  There was play the other day (IIRC vs TBR or TBJ?) where he dove and laid out for a ball at LF line that he just missed getting to which would have ended the game.

      That's nice but it's a "straw man"argument if I ever saw one.  I'd wager Pete Gray would grade as elite on OAA/DRS but the fact was he only had one arm..... There is no measure other than the "eye test" for accuracy and frankly IMO he's been poor.  He has a strong arm but his last two throws to the plate from short LF and CF (I think) missed by 30 feet on either side of the plate!!  Getting to the ball is important but if you can't hit a cut-his throws tend to sail-how many times have we seen Mateo/Gunnar have to reach for throws then reset....  We saw the other night against Toronto guys are going to run (even slow, chubby ones) against Cowser until he shows enough accuracy to shut them down-and until he does he will continue to give up advances at a rate that erodes the benefit of his coverage skills.   IMO the critical components of an "elite" or plus OF are anticipation, coverage, arm strength, and accuracy.  He's plus on three and hopefully the accuracy will improve as the game slows for him.

      I would not say that Cowser is 8th in fWAR because AL outfielders are bad this year.  He’s at 1.9 fWAR, which projects to 4.4 fWAR for the whole season.  Last year, Austin Hays was 8th at 2.5 fWAR. I do think that (1) fWAR overrates Cowser’s season to date, and (2) his numbers are largely based on the first month of the season.  To the latter point, Cowser was worth 1.4 fWAR after 27 games, 1.7 after 54.
