a) Because his sudden expulsion from the Blue Jays saved him the trouble of going to Orlando.
b) Because he watched his old team suck bag and lick arse in said three-game series in Orlando.
c) Because he went from being dropped by a last place team to being picked up by a first place team.
d) Because in his new home, he can go 0-3 and people will still love him. (Well, for a few more weeks, anyways.)
0-3 with 2 walks. You know Billy B loves that OBP.
ReplyDeletei am quite fond of that OBP as well. although it doesn't do you much good with runners on base.
ReplyDeleteYes it does, it puts more men on base, escalates pitch counts while costing you nothing.
ReplyDeleteBut don't walks clog up the bases? They're like human cholesterol clogging up the basepath arteries.
ReplyDeleteOr at least that's what Dusty Baker and Dick Griffin told us.
