Drunk Jays Fans Guide To Spelling Rzepczynski

Marc Rzepczynski

After coming down with a case of left-arm shittiness (actually bruised ribs, but lets be serious), Brad Mills will not be taking the place of the injured Scott Richmond in the Jays rotation tomorrow. Instead, that job has been given to the unspellable one, Marc Rzepczynski.

For you bloggers out there, I’d simply copy the correct spelling of his name from this here post.

Rzepczynski, another left-hander and an extreme groundball pitcher, went 7-5 with a 2.83 ERA, 88 Ks and 36 walks in 76 2/3 innings for Double-A New Hampshire before he was called up to Las Vegas. After two sparkling starts for the 51s—0.79 ERA, 16 K and 4 BB in 11 1/3 innings—here he is.

Oh yeah, it's pronounced Zep-chin-skee. Or something thereabouts. Let’s all cross our fingers . . .

28 rational and reasonable comments:

R-Zep-Chin-Skee....clap, clap, clapclapclap.

fyi, dude, you HAVE to go through today's game threat - the second page of comments at least. We basically had direct text message access to the Jays dugout. Honest.

Voodoo Matt said...

That's going to look cool on the back of a jersey. Too many short names - Hill, Rios, Lind, Wells, Mills, Ray...

Brad Fullmer Fan said...

Zep is a big K/ground ball pitcher that doesn't allow any HRs. You'd think a guy like that will do well with the Jays defense behind him. However, he does have some control problems. It will be interesting to see how he does against the best offensive team in baseball.

Haha, Mills must have been clubbed in the ribs with a bat for his awful starting pitching.

How many fucking guys are going to take the ball this season?

Playoffs!!1

SP said...

This is how I remember Krzyzewski...

Krazy Jew Ski, then just add an A and replace the J with a Z.

I'm mnemonic with it, bitchessss

Torgen said...

The correct spelling is T-H-E R-Z-A.

DAN THE MAN said...

Let's just call him Rez.

He's our Saltalamacchia. With the Jays massive font, his name is going to go full circle on itself.

GO JAYS

BEHOLD!
...the pitching line of tonight's Dunedin Blue Jays starter Shawn "North of Steeles" Marcum:

3ip, 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 strikeout

his velocity was down as you'd expect...but y'know - NORTH OF STEELES!

James said...

I can't believe Marcum is pitching already!!

Stoeten said...

Fuck. Now I need a new desk, because my boner just ripped through it.

Stoeten said...

The old one, that is.

NNL said...

It rhymes with Eric Hinske!

Anonymous said...

It must be a small desk

tercet said...

Settle down Stoten, Marcum was only throwing low 80s tonight. So he's still probably a month+ away from coming back...

I have been to 90% of the jays games this year at home plus a whole series away against washington, and other then watching the game for pure enjoyment i also use it as time to analyze the jays.

Wow, that comment about Shaun Marcum just made my night. I can def. drink to that.

Lmao, Stoeten's Marcum comment was golden. But only Jeter with his solid gold cock could ever penetrate some wood with his own wood.

Let's hope the new kid can throw a bit harder then Mills and his BP fast balls.

Luap said...

Marcum never had any velocity, as long as hes got his location and changing speeds well we can ask for any more.

1 hit in 3 innings is a great sign, espescially if you're only throwing in the low 80's.

Stoeten said...

Anon 11:28. True about the gold, but come on, you can't judge a pitcher on how hard he throws a fastball.

I think it is virtually unanimous that Mark should just be referred to as Zip.
