General Jays Discussion 2015

[jays4life19]

So who is doing GDT?

 

I think a little sprinkle of Jonn in the GDT is exactly what this teams need.

[Daniel Labude]

Sure I will do it right now.

 

Get to it

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Do have a question how many runs in the majors are scored in innings 1-3, 4-6,7-9 on a whole and on average?

 

Is there also a run per inning as a whole and average?

 

Does anybody have this info out there?

[Jimcanuck]

kessel moved, thank god

[jays4life19]

kessel moved, thank god

 

Get your hockey s*** out of here.

[Brownie19]

Anyone else notice former Jay Balbino Fuenmayor - who was always awful with the Jays is now chasing the triple crown in AA? Yeah he's old for that league, but that's quite the turn around for someone who's been tuuurbile his entire career.

one of these things doesn't belong with the others... lol

 

4 of them are absolute bombs. Panda's was barely out and that's a short porch in RF at Fenway. the other 4 were seriously way up in the stands.

[o2cui2i]

Hadn't looked at the standings in a couple of days. Baltimore leads now... Great. This is 2014 all over again. Now watch them run away with it.

 

hoping Texas can not suck today. maybe jays are in first come tomorrow

[SexyNewForum]

Lol Pablo's looks so weak

The tracker must have f***ed up or something.

Crazy how we have 3 absolute monster sluggers on this team

Ye of little faith. O's lose Cruz and Markakis but gain healthy Weiters and Machado. Jiminez shades of 2013.

 

We are a different team 2015 with Martin and JD though...still need another arm(s) IMO and I worry about our OF depth, or lack thereof.

[BigCecil]

Faith is something I have less and less of with each passing year. It's like not allowing yourself to fall in love cause your heart has been broken so many times. It's a defense mechanism.

 

I sooooo hear you on that. I'm a hopelessly addicted forever loyal Jays fan...but its painful sometimes. I like this team more than in the past few years though. How many more W's at this point would Stro have added? 2?

That's because he had a lower trajectory angle...

[TwistedLogic]

[HERPDERP]

Travis could have joined all of them as well :/

[jaysblue]

Travis could have joined all of them as well :/

 

Doubt he would have joined them if he was healthy all this time.

[Sammy225]

Travis could have joined all of them as well :/

 

Doubt it i don't see him putting up those kind of power numbers i think his max will be 15 maybe 20 on a peek year.

[HERPDERP]

you underestimate the power of thick glutes

FanGraphs: A History of Josh Donaldson in Foul Territory

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/a-history-of-josh-donaldson-in-foul-territory/

 

Nice article, but I didn't post the entire thing because of all the annoying grammatical errors and questionable phrasing.

 

"If you trust the metrics, Donaldson is great. Also, if you a person who watches him play, you probably think he’s great."

 

Sounds like it was written by a teen.

[BigCecil]

Norris's BB rate in AAA continues to be a concern.

[o2cui2i]

That's because he had a lower trajectory angle...

 

in on the label and he didn't get all of it. More of a 2 iron shot off the fair way. bat speed is great, but it's not anywhere near as impressive looking as the others that were not only hard hit, but centered up and destroyed.

 

Stanton is absolutely ridiculous. healthy he is one of the best power hitters in baseball.

 

This is nothing to do with Panda. he hits some monster shots, but this is not even his most impressive shot.

 

 

was this list done before Smoaks 3rd deck shot? that was crushed.

[HERPDERP]

He's a low center of gravity grit grinder.

 

funny the same can be said of Pedroia yet everyone here hates him lol

[o2cui2i]

who does Smoak have to kill to get into the lineup? 2 blasts yesterday buys him another game on the bench?

 

bello better hit tonight.

[guylaroche5]

at least martin is catching two games in a row... Progress

[o2cui2i]

the amazing thing with Pedroia is the home runs he hits on pitches that are shoulder high for guys who are over 6' tall. his upper cut swing is off the charts.

[baubau]

It is a lefty on the mound. Sitting him today is justifiable.

[TwistedLogic]

Blue Jays lineup today:

 

Not Justin Smoak.

[o2cui2i]

It is a lefty on the mound. Sitting him today is justifiable.

 

I know... no room for him with Valencia and Bello hitting LHP so well. still has to suck for Smoak.
