vs. The Yankees 4/12

[J.D.]

Oh, are we all going to jump on Jones for blowing bubbles again? I love the three times a year we do this. :rolleyestf:

I am sick of the low ball strike gifts to CC

[Norfolk orioles]

That's one of the worst errors in major league history.

No exaggeration, no hyperbole.....he just made a 3 run error.

The only way to make a more costly error is to bat a grand slam homerun over the fence.

Inexcusable and indefensible.

No gold glove for you this year. Way to earn that contract buddy.

I don't believe Adam should worry about Dan Duquette's attire for a bit.

[Tony-OH]

Not sure what to say other than Jones blew it. Pure and simple. A think Jones needs to chill on the team leader stuff. He talks a good game, but between the lack of hustling and the blowing bubbles while missing an easy catch, and I think it's time for Jones to just worry about himself. Maybe once he gets his own self in order he'll be ready for leadership.

What a way to lose the game, just a terrible game for Adam

[Ori-Al]

That is all on Adam Jones. All on him. This is the second game he cost us this year defensively. Ridiculous.

Was the sun in his eyes this time? Or in Wieters, when he dropped the fouled strike three? Maybe in Patton's, when he plunked Haffner to load the bases. Or Gonzales', when he walked the nine hitter for the second time.

Again, Adam didn't put the free baserunners on. Five free runners have scored on Jones' muffs.

Opponent had to score, because we did.

[eddie83]

I would say yeah. But I guess this just his style. We have to take the good with the bad. The bad being stupid tweets. The good being a nice start.

You really think the bubble is the reason? It was a bad play no question.

It may be more if it costs games regularly.

[Wish]

That was a tough play boys. Can't get on him too much.

[WEAVERMAN]

Wow, AJ just killed us. That's not acceptable.

Agreed

[Brooks The Great]

Yup very similar to that drop last fall. The media made a big deal about him blowing a bubble then and they'll do it again now.

I think there's something to it now. I want him to stop chewing gum, I think there's a case to be made for blowing a bubble distracting his reflexes and vision slightly enough to cause him to make errors like that.

[blid]

Not a good day for Jonesy, esp considering all the Giddips.

[JimDH]

I agree it was a terrible play but you shouldn't call him a 'lazy pile of s***'. If there is one thing Jonesy is, 'lazy' isn't it. Please get off your key board and stop calling professional athletes 'lazy piles of s***'. Just foolish.

Yeah that always makes me wince.
