General Jays Discussion 2015

[Deadpool]

Stroman? Be realistic... there's so much that could go wrong there or he just might not be MLB ready... it's really just Price and piles and piles of s*** disguised.

 

Trouba 2.0?

Today's lineup from the Blue Jays Twitter -

I can't say that I like having Tulowitzki in the number 5 spot. He just hasn't been driving in many runs since being in Toronto (I think the team was better with Tulwitzki in the number 1 spot). However, I appreciate Tulowitzki's defense I think that is one reason for the Blue turnaround since he has arrived, as is indicated by the lower team ERA.

 

[G-Snarls]

Tulo will hit, we need patience

 

Nothing wrong with him in the 5 spot

 

These always someone to drive in the runs if people get on base

[Trekkie]

Troy "Swing-And-A-Miss" Tulowitzki

[burlingtonbandit]

So Tulo since moving to the 5-Hole has a 4% BB rate and 32% K rate while sporting a wRC+ of 50. When is he going to be moved back to leadoff since he's clearly not comfortable hitting 5th in the lineup.

lol...ya he has been struggling so mightily. Never ever thought Id see Tulo swing and miss so much. He seems to be behind in count every AB.

 

His D makes it tolerable. Im sure he will figure it out and get it together. (soon I hope - he hit a couple balls hard today).

 

I don't think its got anything to do with leadoff or 5th in order. He was the man in COL so he used to pressure, and here he is just supporting cast offensively

What does his position have to do with anything? Not much. Don't go on about how he's going to see better pitches.

Haha, oh Pillar...

[intentional wok]

 

Haha, oh Pillar...

 

f***, that's Price's 100th-win ball isn't it? I had to stop and think for a second why it would be so important to him.

 

dude

lol I was obviously making fun of the fact that people thought him struggling had to do with the fact he was hitting leadoff.

 

His biggest struggle right now is just not hitting the fastball. Seems he is late on everything.

[ValiantJaysFan]

Pillar. So much fail. I love his defence but cannot stand anything else about the guy.

[Trouba95]

Pompey rakes Tillman in a SSS...so why don't they give Pillar the day off?

[dineke]

Pillar. So much fail. I love his defence but cannot stand anything else about the guy.

 

What about his baserunning? His bat sucks but guess what? We don't need offense from our elite CF defender in this line-up.

And we can pretend it's punishment for throwing the ball away!

[thatoneguy]

Haha, oh Pillar...

 

lol'd at Donaldson's comment

Pillar is handsome. Stand that.

He's one of the best in the league at baserunning, today was another example of that (first to third on a single). Also SB%.

[G-Snarls]

Brett Cecil hasn't allowed a run over his last 23 appearances

 

Very nice

Remember when all of the saber nerds were saying that Cecil was really good and they were all called idiots for it?

 

How things change.

[Trouba95]

Wow...we're gonna miss CC and Nova in NY. Bastards.

[baubau]

Wow...we're gonna miss CC and Nova in NY. Bastards.

 

Nova has dominated us? Yes he lost the first game but that was in part to Joe not pulling him and Smoak hit the GS.

[guylaroche5]

Wow...we're gonna miss CC and Nova in NY. Bastards.

Pompey and Revere are both > Pillar at base running.

Cute.

[Atothe]

Cute.

 

Careful spank, o2 will drop the banhammer if he feels you say hi wrong to Trouba

Revisionist history....do you have proof of this? From what I recall...he in fact was bad when people were saying he was bad. No one said he would not turn it around. He was bad early. That's all people said. It seems all you do is lurk then jump at a chance to stroke your ego with some bs hindsight or act like someone saying a batter had a bad at bat means they said the player sucks.

 

When he was bad people said it. Now he is pitching well people are saying it. It's not hard to understand. He struggled early, that's all there was to it. He was in fact bad for a stretch he will even tell you that.Step away from the keyboard and stop over thinking.
