Rasmus only has one swing.

Every swing is 100% pure upper cut pull. No defensive swings to fight off tough pitchs. He never adjusts his swing plane to hit the ball the other way. It's no suprise everything is basically a K or a HR.

[Cello]

Darvish

68 pitches, 35 strikes

 

Rogers

63 pitches, 38 strikes

Best description of Rasmus' s approach I've heard yet.

[gruber92]

Rogers giving us some quality innings so far.

[Wilnercibia]

[Angrioter]

Today

Teixeira, Hafner, Youkilis and Wells 0-28, 12 Ks

[gruber92]

Seriously Boni?

 

Your a slap hitter with speed and that's your two strike swing?

 

HOLY f***

[Wilnercibia]

Seriously Boni?

HOLY f***

 

Just dumb baseball once again, the guy is here for his speed, get on f***ing base, take the pitch, make something happen on the basepads...

 

But nope, homer mentality

[gruber92]

I'm so f***ing sick of the Boni,Izturis combo.

[gruber92]

What a pathetic approach this team has..except for Lind

[Abomination]

Man, how many balls have we swung at today that have hit the plate (literally)?

[Boxcar]

Man, Buck and Pat really going in depth with the ******** narrative to explain why the best strikeout pitcher in baseball is ineffective.

[Angrioter]

I'm so f***ing sick of the Boni,Izturis combo.

 

Still a ways to go until they reach JPA level for me.

 

Izturis -1.4WAR

Boni -0.6WAR

[JFD]

Still a ways to go until they reach JPA level for me.

 

Only JP can reach JP level.

[Jays]

Rogers' ERA down to 3.43... not bad...

[IBTrini]

my god i know you're a negative nancy but geez, that was a tough play. i don't even understand why you watch if all you're going to do is whine about every single thing that doesn't go our way

 

I thought all the bitching which went on at the other site would have ended or at least be at a bare minimum but that's not the case. It's the same crap where these individuals feel this game is an easy game to play at this level. They even feel they know what the problem is with the players and that the solution is easy - Not sure why they just don't apply for a job in baseball. It's one thing to come on a baseball forum to discuss/participate/share views on the game but when it reaches lows like this it makes it a tad unbearable.

 

I will be starting soon to put certain individuals on ignore so I won't be subjected to their whiney, childlike behaviour. It is slowly taking away any joy which can be found here in the GDT.

[Wilnercibia]

Rogers is pitching like a stud..

 

Can this f***ing offence support him? Bautista already f***ed us over once...

 

 

Lets see what happens this inning

[Cello]

Darvish

86 pitches, 46 strikes

 

Rogers

72 pitches, 45 strikes

[Angrioter]

Rogers' ERA down to 3.43... not bad...

 

4.52 xFIP

[gruber92]

s***. We may have found something in Rogers.

[Metallijay]

We need a new catcher bad, JP is I can't watch bad

[Wilnercibia]

my god i know you're a negative nancy but geez, that was a tough play. i don't even understand why you watch if all you're going to do is whine about every single thing that doesn't go our way

[Jays]
