Bautista: "Seitzer's philosophy has helped us a lot"

[jb22]

Seitzer is a good reason for keeping Gose up

 

And damnit... Rasmus in LF, Gose in CF and Bautista in RF is f'ing great

 

So you DH Melky? Then what do you do with Lind? You can't take him out of the lineup right now.

Everyone gets their reps under Gibby

 

I'd like see that Rasmus, Gose, Bautista defense as much as possible though, and certainly always after the 7th inning when the Jays have the lead

As a late game defensive alignment, sure. But there's no way that can be your starting lineup more than a couple times a month to give people a day off. Gose can't hit lefties and Lind should never be sat vs a Righty, just doesn't work.

I was at the game last year when the Jays beat the Rangers in 18 innings. Awesome crowd. We got two games in one. I was in a group of 8 people and after every extra inning one of us wanted to go home but we all stuck through it.

Those were the good old days up until 33,000 people booed a child for reaching for a foul ball. Tonight just kinda ruined it for me. Was that the same crowd I was with last year when Davis hit the game winner? I don't like these people.

 

We get it, you hate everything blue jays (fans included) because they booed a teenager for doing something you're never supposed to do to your home team. There's really no need to make 50 posts saying the exact same thing.

Maybe Sierra improved.

 

OPS has gone from 145 to 636 since the White Sox picked him up

 

He couldn't help but get better

I'm really glad the replay guys in NY made the right call. I really felt bad for the kid, he was just trying to catch a foul ball.

STFU and stop repeating this over and over.

Seitzer was on PTS today.

 

Worth a listen when it's on the Sportsnet On Demand section

 

Smart guy. Studies the game deeply you can tell.

 

A few tidbits I remember:

 

Batting practice EVERY DAY now includes practicing hitting balls the other way and bunting

 

Pep talk for Pillar last night before his walk-off at bat is something he does regularly - goes to book of stats on what any given pitcher throws in what situations/counts and prepapres the hitter for it

 

Bautista tried going to other way more in spring training to beat the shift and got really exited about how well it worked.

 

Seitzer has given up on trying to quiet Brett Lawrie down any more. Says it's part of what Brett is and doesn't want to affect his timing by reducing the last move he makes before swinging. Says with Brett his struggles are usually mental, not physical. His hands are so good he gets through the zone in good position, but he used to spend too much time overthinking what pitch might be coming. McCown was first to say that Lawrie should "think less and react more" and Seitzer said that's exactly it. LOL
