Jays offense is ridiculous

[Maahfaace]

This offense is crazy good so far this year, even with a bunch of scrubs at the bottom of the order. Just imagine if the jays had decent options instead of Goins and Pillar to run out there every day.

 

1st in Runs (314) the d-backs surprisingly 2nd with (267)

1st in XBH (202) dodgers with (188)

1st in OBP

1st in OPS

 

It is however, surprising to me how the Jays collectively have only been walked once intentionally. You would think with some of the scrubs that have followed the big bats this season that this would happen a little more often than once so far.

 

If this team gets and stays healthy, is it possible for them to come close or even eclipse the elusive 1000 run mark for a season?

You usually walk someone intentionally when there is a big difference between the guy you're facing and the guy after him. If you don't get intentionally walked it means the offense is balanced.

Last time a thread like this was made, the Jays went on to s*** the bed with their sticks, thanks brah!

[BlueRocky]

Now imagine the pitching wasn't AAA

[LTR]

Other than Donaldson there isn’t really an elite bat in the line-up right now (a lot of good bats), and who is really going to walk JD to get to JB.

Jose Bautista isn't an elite bat?

Absolutely incorrect. Jays haven't been winning many close games and that's when you usually see intentional walks.

.263/.400/.537 .402 wOBA 160 wRC+

 

Not Elite.

 

Edit, for comparison, Donaldson:

 

.310/.367/.582 .404 wOBA 162 wRC+

.263/.400/.537 .402 wOBA 160 wRC+

 

Not Elite.

 

Didn't notice he'd raised his OPS over .100 pts since playing through injury. Yeah, he's elite again.

Being "elite" or "not elite" doesn't change over a couple of months... for example EE is also still elite (barring the shoulder injury being serious enough to mess him up long term.)

OK.............................. board full of Cptn' Obvious's.

 

There are two main things that affect performance: injury and age. Bautista was playing through injury (and may still be), he wasn't necessarily elite during that time.

 

I never said he wasn't elite in general, I said 'right now', which I thought he was still under-performing... and a couple people, so kindly I might add, already corrected me on this.

Bautista was easily elite while playing through the injury. The lowest wRC+ I can remember was like 130 and that was early last month.

OK perhaps, not sure I'd say that's elite. .900+ OPS is prob elite?

[Smokey]

Bautista still drew plenty of walks during his "none elite" days mostly because of his amazing approach at the plate and the fact that other teams still viewed him as elite and refused to give him much to hit.

We've already covered all of this. Thanks!?

[HERPDERP]

it's pretty cool to see the similarities and differences between the Dodgers and Jays

Looking over the traditional stats you see the're the same.

 

But look at how they generate their value. The Jays have superior base running while the Dodgers have superior defense (would have been better if we didn't run Italian dude in LF all the time)

Would have been a lot better. Colabello has been downright atrocious on defense.

 

He's actually been so bad that he's still straddling the replacement line despite carrying a 156 wRC+ through 32 games.

Lol @ the Padres' outfield.

Why is Upton so bad out there? I don't get it.

lol....what's with your avatar?

[LTR]

Even better Blue Jays are #1 in baseball in BsR.

 

People think the Royals have a strong running game, they don't. It may be more timing then anything else, especially last year during the play-offs.

Hey now, he's looks pretty good since that day off and supposedly lowering his leg-kick or something... 1.207 OPS in the last 9 games.

maybe we'll see relatively more production but his aggressiveness is still there. He swung at quite a few junk pitches yesterday.
