The Weekend Blue Jays Dichotomy
2009-09-06 18:18:00
The comic above pretty much sums up my experience at the Jays games this labour day weekend. I wouldn’t go into the nitty gritty details in a game review but it went down like this: Friday I rolled into the dome and was treated to a Roy Halladay one-hitter. (Roy became just the 5th pitcher in ...

2009 Zaun|Barajas Platoon would rule the earth While I was livebloggin’ last nights tilt between the Rays and the Red Sox (which Boston won 6-3) fellow MUD writer Callum dropped by and started expounding the virtues of one Gregory Zaun. Thinking back on the recent implosion in the T-Dot, I wondered if the Jays would have ...

Attention: Dunedin Spring Training Veterans
2009-02-24 13:38:00
Attention: Dunedin Spring Training Veterans I am heading down to Dunedin F-L-A at the end of March to catch the last 2 of the Jays’ Spring Training games. When I am not marvelling at Ken Takahashi’s meatballs, I need to keep myself occupied. Idle hands are the devil’s tools, as they say. I realize I am about ...

The Best Hair In Blue Jays History
2008-11-05 13:04:00
The Best Hair In Blue Jays History We at Mop Up Duty are pretty obsessed with ballplayer’s hair, mostly because either we are losing it ourselves or we just have a bad haircut in general (or both). When I think of the Jays of my youth, I think of glorious mullets and Tom-Selleck-like mustaches. To celebrate ...

Zaun Takes Arencibia Under His “Wing” Get it? Since Zaun is a Jay and Blue Jays have wings? Yeah I think it is clever too.

Gregg Zaun's Quotes Provided By... Gregg Zaun
2007-10-31 04:35:00
Holy fuck, Rogers is seriously grooming Gregg Zaun to be talking head when his career is over, and you know what? Why the fuck wouldn't they? Zaunner is awesomer than two boners in an hour.... Foul-mouthed, booze-loving and "smarter than you" fans of the Toronto Blue Jays follow their team's progress in the American League East.

Gregg Zaun - Fantasy Spot Start
2007-09-08 03:04:00
Gregg Zaun - Fantasy Spot Start It is no secret that I have the biggest mancrush on the leader of the “Zaunbie Nation” in the world. Just search this site for “Gregg Zaun” and the results will be endless. But now, for the first time, I have the numbers to support this mancrush. Over the past week, Zaun has been the hottest catcher in baseball with 4 runs, 2 HR, 4 rbi and hitting at a .429 clip. He shows no signs of slowing down and why should he? He is a stud. As I am writing this, Gregg has just hit another jack, this of the 3 run variety. So make it 6 runs, 3 HR and 7 RBI and a .454 avg. Definitely worth a pickup in all fantasy formats until he slows down. When you’re hot, you’re hot.

The case against Gregg Zaun becoming an everyday catcher
2007-02-19 02:54:01
The case against Gregg Zaun becoming an everyday catcher An increase in training and a victory of alcoholism has been citied by some sources as a supporting factor to continued success in 2007. While the training and booze battle may be true, in many ways this hasn?t been an easy off-season for Gregg. His on again, off again negotiations with the Jays, amongst others, has to take some form of a toll. Yet, historically, even discussing an aging catcher being able to actually increase his workload, while maintaining career high statistics would be viewed as ludicrous. But we?ll do the dance anyways. Gregg?s main strength is his ability to take a walk. This logically should not be effected too heavily by fatigue. But his batting average and more specifically his slugging percentage should decline. During Zaun’s entire career, including minor leagues, he’s only slugged over .400 once when he’s had over 250 PA, this being last season. Was this a fluke? Well...

Gregg Zaun is a huge stud
2006-08-29 01:54:03
I wrote the following on May 18th, 2006: Player A: .346 batting average, five home runs, five doubles, 13 RBIs, a .393 on-base percentage and a .731 slugging percentage. Player B: .291 batting average, four homers, four doubles, 12 RBIs, a .321 on-base percentage and a .447 slugging percentage. Obviously Player A has the statistical edge. Not an overwhelming one, but an edge nonetheless. Both players are catchers, with Player A having nabbed three out of 11 would-be base stealers (27.3 per cent), while Player B nailed three out of 21 (16.7 percent)? The pitching staff has an ERA of 4.62 when Player A is behind the plate, compared to 4.88 with Player B back there? You would likely conclude that Player A is having the better statistical season both at the plate and behind it. Surprisingly, the AB’s shake down like this: Player A: 52 plate appearances Player B: 103 plate appearances In other words, Player A has piled up his stats edge despite being given roughly half the playi...
