[Spanky99]

Yeah but our pitching is not going to get better.

horrific first inning followed by 8 very good innings by MB.

 

Nice win.

[Horses Fart]

That Astros series still really hurts right now. All the same we're certainly playing better ball since then. Still only 2.5 back. Lol.

have to hope the Jose can play RF. we have the nats and stros next week. two very tough series with no DH in the nats series.

To bad he had to f*** up his arm being an ASS! No I'm not a big fan of him since. Lol

[Horses Fart]

I don't blame him for that. Could've just as easily been his next throw to the plate that he injured it on.

 

Horse s***! Even if he did u could justify it as being a baseball play. Not being an ass!

[Angrioter]

Happy win!!

EE trains with Bautista during offseason, or am I imagining things...again?

 

 

Thing is Colabello trains with Donaldson in the offseason, coincidence? I think not, clearly this is Bautista/EE 2.0!!!!

[RealAccountant]

Is Colebello = 2014 Juan Francisco????

[GD]

Their commercials have been terrible for years. I miss the days of Overbay at the wedding, Glaus with the pinata, Wells playing hide and seek, Halladay taking out a beehive, Frank Thomas destroying kids in a pillow fight...

 

To be fair, his Line drive % is very high, which explains SOME of his BABIP luck. He will probably end the year in the high 300's with BABIP if he keeps that up.

 

We all know he'll regress, but its nice to see a a fringe roster player come through and take advantage of the opportunity. He's been one of our best hitters this month and helped plug some offensive holes while the Jays battle injuries.

 

Exactly.

 

For a power hitter his K% and BB% are fine.

 

There's no question the guy can be an above average bat.

 

Interestingly, he has better reverse splits so far in the majors.

 

Out of curiosity, also checking is MiLB splits:

 

2015 (95 PA)

vs. R - 1.266 OPS

vs. L - .468 OPS

 

2014 (238 PA)

vs. R - .736 OPS

vs. L - .932 OPS

 

2013 (391 PA)

vs. R - 1.072 OPS

vs. L - 1.049 OPS

 

This is not a guy that needs to platooned, does not give a s*** if it's a righty or lefty.

 

The Twins certainly gave him ample opportunity, not sure what happened to his bat then?

 

All of these things need large sample sizes to be truly determined. Just a general point

Um thanks? His K and BB rates are large enough, you should know. And his splits, between his mlb stats (as I said) and what I provided that's over 1000 PA, that's large enough..... Let's not go down this road please.

Chris Collabello last year had a good start with the Twins and then regressed big time. Also, remember Juan Francisco for the Jays last season - casuals were thinking he was the next Bautista or EE.

 

I'm a fan of Collabello and I hope he remains successful this year. Maybe he's the Jays version of Steve Pearce this season, which would be a huge plus. Otherwise, just enjoy what he's doing and don't get your hopes up as him being the next Bautista/EE.

He's better than Juan Francisco, that's for sure... all the metrics will agree. Plus Juan was/is a platoon only player.

[bronson44]

I enjoyed the s*** out of this game.

Spanky, make todays' GTD once you roll your ass out of bed.

I didn't say anything about Juan Francisco being better or worse. I just said how many posters/fans last year thought Francisco was legit after his month of May, making comparisons to how he can become the next Bautista or EE.

 

As for Collabello, I like his profile better though I don't consider him legit until I see him have success over a longer period of time. It would be nice to see him do what Steve Pearce did for the Orioles last season. We'll see if Collabello is still hitting well at the All-Star break.

Ahh, read that differently when reading quickly on my phone...

DFS: ALEX SANCHEZ NOT A SAFE BET

Sanchez comes off two decent outings entering today's start at Target Field, but consider his 5.75 ERA on the road this season before using him in fantasy. More lineup analysis

 

ESPN smh lol

[LTR]

Kyle Gibson sucks but may be effective vs. a team that can only win by the HR (GB pitcher), not a HR park either

What aboutbSmoak and his 121 WRC

12% Walk rate and finally getting out of Seattle's environment are both good

[GD]

Then there's the whole ERA on the road thing

People literally get paid to advise us about effects that demonstrably do not exist.

Why does Wilner get his own segment on Blue Jays Central? Get this f*** off my TV.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Pillar walking and hitting a homer in the same game? No way.
