GDT(1/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles - McGowan vs. Tillman - 7:07 PM ET

When it comes to going the other way not rying to pull everything? yes he does. He rolls over alot of outside pitches, low and away.

 

He's a dead pull hitter, he can't go opposite field with frequency because he has so much bat speed and his leg kick timing won't allow him to. Bautista is playing excellent and should stay that way.

[TwistedLogic]

But walking isn't working since the guys behind him aren't cashing him in. So he's now trying to do too much.

 

Come on guys. Just because people aren't cashing him in doesn't mean what he's doing "isn't working". He's getting on base. That's all that matters. If he isn't scoring, it's on the guys behind him, not himself. Jose has never been a guy that hits for a huge average, 2011 was a bit of an outlier in that regard. Jose is a disciplined player that hits for big power, with a consistently low BABIP, and he's at his best when he's seeing the ball and walking.

 

It won't matter if he walks or he doubles in every plate appearance if the guys behind him aren't doing the job, he'll be stranded anyways. Bautista's doing great right now, and hopefully Edwin will break out of the slump soon.

[Flamingweazel]

Small sample size. Over time he'll walk a little less and hit a little more than he has so far.

 

I really don't know why people even bother quoting stats this early in the year.

 

Yes true, but last few years is ave been below .250.

[P2F]

ITT: lots of prehistoric baseball derp.

[Abomination]

Those are nasty cutters at 94, especially since the gun seems a bit low.

[Orgfiller]

Walking is good. But the guysa rent cashing him in. He's clearly trying to do too much right now. Isn't his fault.

 

That's not his fault, his job is to contribute by helping the team score runs, and walking gives you a guaranteed runner with no tricky BABIP luck.

[Flamingweazel]

Santos is filthy but he always make me nervous.

[P2F]

f***ing nasty.

[Orgfiller]

Our relievers...that's too f***ing nasty!!

[o2cui2i]

NASTY!!!

 

it's Good Santos so far

[TwistedLogic]

It's so nice watching this s***** Orioles team struggle.

 

It's a complete pleasure. The Orioles replaced the White Sox as my most hated team a couple seasons ago after I saw how much of a s***-stain their fanbase is. The noses on those people after making the playoffs just one time, was sickening. I really hope Jays fans aren't that f***ing obnoxious if we ever break out of the playoff drought. Orioles fans are more unjustifiably cocky than even Red Sox or Yankees fans, they act as if they've been perennial World Series contenders for a decade.

[Orgfiller]

Jesus Christ that movement shouldn't be allowed when he already has a top 3 pitch in the game.

I'm sure we will be, but we won't be the ones bothered (at least as much) by it lol.

[bzapple]

Yes true, but last few years is ave been below .250.

 

And his OBP has been above .350.

[o2cui2i]

[Flamingweazel]

[Ash70]

Urgh, wicked stuff santos !!!

[Orgfiller]

Santos is disgusting.

[bzapple]

Wow Santos. They can't touch that slider at all.

[P2F]

Santos: 10 K through 4.1 innings so far this season lol.

[theblujay]

Slider is straight up unhittable

[Flamingweazel]

10 k's in 4 innings...wow.

[theblujay]

[o2cui2i]

[Anemic0ffense]

A win is a win, but this was no thanks to the putrid offense tonight. ALL pitching tonight!

 

Congrats to Dustin on his first win

[Orgfiller]

Sergio Santos about to be investigated by the NSA, that's just not fair.
