Why is Colby so f***ing terrible this year? I mean i know he wasnt overly good to begin with but man he's bad this season.

 

honda is paying him more to suck so they dont have to pay for his "dangars fer duhoh"

[intentional wok]

Seriously. If this is how he was in 2011 I can see why he got run out of St. Louis.

Colby has been average with the bat. Average on the bases and below average in CF which does not = f***ing terrible.

[jays76]

A couple of scary flyballs there, Dusty flirting with danger.

[closetjaysfan]

He hasn't been f***ing terrible.

 

He is reminiscent of JPA. His BA sucks and he swings for the fences. His fielding is averageish but pales in comparison to Gose. I have to agree that he has been terrible.

His K-rate is terrible tho. 32.1

[G-Snarls]

McGowan throwing hangers

 

Got lucky twice

 

f***

Colby wRC+ is 97. JPA was 55 wRC+ last year. Try again.

a .284 OBP is average?

[G-Snarls]

wRC+ 97 this year

 

= League average hitter with high K rate who makes up for it with some extra base power

[intentional wok]

Man, can Martinez ever get to everything. Wow.

[jays4life19]

Average with the bat lol? He has a .284 on base that's horrendous forget terrible.

 

There's more to hitting then OBP. wRC+ says he's average.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Damn it! Had to drop it had to foul tip it.

[deepz]

He is reminiscent of JPA.

 

Nothing is reminiscent of JPA other than a pile of bricks at the plate with a blue jay hat on.

[Davie]

Colby has been average with the bat. Average on the bases and below average in CF which does not = f***ing terrible.

 

Couldnt disagree more, strikes out a ton, hardly walks, struggles to make contact and is a negative defender in CF

[ParkdaleTdot]

There's more to hitting then OBP. wRC+ says he's average.

 

My eyes tell me he's terrible. He's JPA light.

[jays76]

I think old Dusty is out of gas, Tori will be dangerous here.

[jays4life19]

You can say Colby OBP or batting average is f***ing terrible - that would be factual. He's been average overall in terms of production at the plate though.

 

97 wRC+ on a 276 BABIP

[JaysFan4Ever]

Oh come on!

[burlingtonbandit]

f***in unlucky. Slow hit GB finds a hole

[ParkdaleTdot]

get Janssen he threw like 2 pitches last outing

[jays4life19]

My eyes tell me he's terrible. He's JPA light.

 

oh my.

[jays4life19]

wRC+ Can blow me he has been awful.

 

Yeah. Better look at batting average and RBIZZZ

[guylaroche5]

if only thole caught that foul tip, grrrrrr

[JaysFan4Ever]

55th game for Loup. How has his arm not fallen off yet?

[baubau]

My biggest gripe with Colby is his inability to stick with a batting stance. The one last year was working for him, and if I read the most recent article correct, that is the same stance that KS wants him to try again. He's ignoring what is working best for him and going in a completely awful stance at the plate. He also strikes out too much and a rally dies on his bat.

 

He has a lot of potential but his inconsistencies, high K, inability to listen and past emotional issues just make him a headcase.

 

I'd rather have Gose full time CF next year till Pompey / another replacement is found. Yes, Gose may not have as good power or hitting as Colby and strikes out just as much, his speed, defense is much better complements this team's other hitters.

 

Plus he'll be a hell of a lot less cheaper.

 

E: Also just realized that despite his wRC+ being less than Colby's, he has a better WAR while Colby's is near replacement level. Didn't know that. huh.

[JaysFan4Ever]

if only thole caught that foul tip, grrrrrr

 

It's the little things like that that might not seem consequential but can change a game. Hopefully Loup is gold and we don't have to worry.

[burlingtonbandit]

Good Job Loup!

[ParkdaleTdot]

Nice play bats.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Good man Loup! Let's have the bats Come out! Best part of the line up coming up!
