that slide was amazing

First jays game I've caught this season that I've enjoyed but at the back of my mind is the thought "they won this with a crazy slide, a pinch double by a pitcher, and two(?) runs scored via errors. Don't get excited".

ah it's ok the next game starts in 1hr 45m. sure it'll go swimmingly. and no, there will be no relievers doing double-shifts today.

... and the wheels have fallen off again. I'm not one to get uptight about stuff like bat flips, but the last innings of a third straight blowout loss on the road against a last place team is a *really* bad time to start showboating.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 18 May 2017 13:23 (six years ago) link
It's so egregiously uncalled for (still haven't seen the clip) that I almost wonder if it was meant solely to stir up the Jays.
― clemenza, Thursday, 18 May 2017 15:32 (six years ago) link
I think it was meant to stir up José.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link
the first bench-clearing incident which was precipitated by pillar calling the pitcher a faggot seems like a greater problem to me but ymmv
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 18 May 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
yikes.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 18 May 2017 21:46 (six years ago) link
Dumb comment I made about Bautista. You can't stir up the team when probably most of them thought the bat-flip was ridiculous.
Surprised at Pillar--just doesn't go along with everyone's perception of him. In general, I have mixed feelings about suspensions for saying stupid or hurtful things. If other players want to treat him like a pariah, fine, if sponsors want to bail, that's fine too. If a pitcher wants to drill him with a pitch, fine; if the pitcher's gay, even better. A suspension just seems like an empty gesture that's meant to wish away the incident. I don't know, maybe it's the best of a bunch of imperfect options.
― clemenza, Thursday, 18 May 2017 22:38 (six years ago) link
his apology was a bit crappy, "i was angry blah blah" instead of you know, just straight up saying "i shouldn't have said that thing because it's offensive". but like, i dunno, the jays as far as i know don't do pride stuff or basically any hat-tip to the gay community at all - when even hockey teams do so- so maybe they could consider those kind of steps?
assiduously avoiding social media hot-takes about this which will be all pc/snowflake etc. lot of dumb fucks who want sports to be their safe space
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 18 May 2017 22:45 (six years ago) link
(badly phrased i specifically mean dumbasses using the terms pc and snowflake complaining that he's even been made to apologize)
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 18 May 2017 22:46 (six years ago) link
If the apology's sincere, I'm all for it; if he's apologizing for no other reason than he's supposed to, it's meaningless. When some student gives me a fake apology over something--the behavioural teacher often standing beside him/her, prefacing it with "Such-and-such would like to say something..."--I usually respond with the most lifeless "Fine" I can muster. It's meaningless.
I was thinking about Elvis Costello. He said something really stupid in 1979. The record company didn't fine or suspend him (that I can remember anyway); he did spend the next couple of decades and beyond haunted by the comment, trying to explain it and live it down. That's a much better consequence.

i still tell that story about elvis costello to anyone who will listen!

he took it like a champ. then scored.
big story from tonight is the Stroman home run!
also: Ceceliani (sp?) dislocated his shoulder hitting a home run. our b-team is starting to go down now.

Truth be told, a month ago I thought Bautista was finished for good. Thus far in May, including today:
.313/.421/.638, 7 HR
― clemenza, Wednesday, 24 May 2017 23:07 (six years ago) link
have to admit – I've had a minor man-crush on Alford for a while now. he has like, all the talent of Gose, but with a fucking brain. Someone said Coco crisp would be his ceiling comp, and that sounds about right to me.

looking more and more like his 2015 was a bit of an aberration tho, regardless of concussion.
