GDT(1/3): New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays - Tanaka vs. McGowan - 7:07 PM ET

[GD]

Ok lets have a few more balls get over his head before you change his mind. Hes an average CF would be really good in LF. Fans need to get over this illusion hes an outstanding defensive player.

 

He was a +11.2 UZR centerfielder last year like he had 14.6 Range runs

 

That's not average

 

That's very very above average

[theblujay]

Are we going to score again or is this it for tonight

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

Our hitters have already rolled over.

[GD]

Dear John,

 

Nope.

 

Sincerely,

 

Orgfiller.

 

lol

[theblujay]

Flairs and broken bat hits because contact was made. Why is contact made? A product of the ball being up in the zone. Don't even try to defend the pitching here. It has been atrocious. If the ball is up, you're gonna get knocked around. Stop blaming our horrible team on luck. It's a bad excuse.

 

Same BS they were spewing yesterday, it's ridiculous

[fatcowxlive]

I've seen them and their frustrating, but really just excuses

 

lol

[Orgfiller]

What I see is the actual game not some stat. They're slow and out of position today

 

I'm sorry, were they supposed to stand 10 ft behind the SS?

[Angrioter]

Lawrie, it's time to start to hit the f***ing ball. Kipnis, Simmons, Castro, Marte got their money.

[GD]

JFaS was smart in staying out of this GDT

[fatcowxlive]

He was a +11.2 UZR centerfielder last year like he had 14.6 Range runs

 

That's not average

 

That's very very above average

 

Put dem saber statz away!!!!!! Rasmus got to a ball slowly today! You know that signals the end of his CF career, duh

[MrMariusz]

Tanaka will struggle in MLB with performances like this, not every team swings at balls in the dirt.

[GD]

We sure as hell do a lot of losing. Incredibly mediocre over the last 21 years and counting.

 

What the holy hell does this in any way have to do with what I said in response to you

[GD]

Put dem saber statz away!!!!!! Rasmus got to a ball slowly today! You know that signals the end of his CF career, duh

 

i give up man

[Grant77]

Wow, that Westjet Dickey commercial is SO bad...

[fatcowxlive]

I'm sorry, were they supposed to stand 10 ft behind the SS?

 

No they're supposed to be on the warning track for every play in case they are slow getting to the wall lol

[GD]

UZR lol. Haven't you learned anything. f***ing defensive metrics. So perfect!

 

Tell me why they aren't reliable.

[theblujay]

I'm sorry, were they supposed to stand 10 ft behind the SS?

 

You see Ellsbury make a sliding catch in a little bloop while our guys run in circles around routine fly balls.

 

Rasmus is usually good, but having not so great a game

[Orgfiller]

UZR lol. Haven't you learned anything. f***ing defensive metrics. So perfect!

 

Alright Maddon, enlighten us as to why Rasmus is an "average" CF and why he would suddenly become above average in LF (which, bee tee dubs, has far less positional value).

[G-Snarls]

This is so good. Well done Wilner.

 

[theblujay]

According to you smart guys the Jays should have won every game this season. The losses were pure bad luck, not bad pitching, just bad luck!

 

You win by getting more runs than the opponent. Bloops suck, but they're just excuses

[Abomination]

Holy crap Delabar!

[fatcowxlive]

i give up man

 

lol this is so stupid. On the 5th game of the season, Rasmus is slow getting to the ball and therefore Gibbons is an idiot for not recognizing that he's a fulltime LF lol

[GD]

Saber toolz are fun. Why even watch games anymore!

 

Great strawman. It's apparent that you only see others knock defensive metrics and then knock them because itz cool. The only problem for them is what I'll call the Moogy-WAR conundrum. They're not predictive. That's what everyone hates about them. In terms of accuracy they're absolutely the best we've got and much better than "dur average CF."

[Orgfiller]

And we thought Delabar's biggest health risk was his elbow!

[theblujay]

Saber toolz are fun. Why even watch games anymore!

 

Why even play the games? We have DIPS!

[theblujay]

lol this is so stupid. On the 5th game of the season, Rasmus is slow getting to the ball and therefore Gibbons is an idiot for not recognizing that he's a fulltime LF lol

 

Putting words in his mouth makes you look dumn.

[8D]

Moar reviews necessary!!!!!!11!1!!1

[fatcowxlive]

Call upheld!

You should become a book critic, such good interpretation and reading comprehension!

 

/awful joke.

The IQ these posts would suggest is probably around Goins' projected wRC+

 

I'm out lol
