Why is Tulo smiling? It seems so... Wrong

[Sammy225]

Because he is not stuck in Colorado anymore.

The photographer said "pretend you have your confidence back" and he burst out laughing.

The Wild Thing has our back:

My favourite part of the article was where they mentioned that HR teams don't win playoff series and how you have to win by manufacturing runs.

[dineke]

They buried the potential AL MVP in the back, wth.

Kinda seems to me like hitting home runs is the best way to manufacture runs. Cause we have a ton of both.

The thing with power is that it can go into slumps here and there...and in the playoffs you can't afford to go cold for multiple games. What I would say is that you should be able to score in multiple ways...not only wait for the 3 run homer.

Lol oh god did it really? Mainstream baseball coverage is unbearable. I'd rather read my old college textbooks.

And I would say that's a big steaming pile of Pat Tabler anecdotal dogshit.

Good thing they lead the league in OBP then.

[dineke]

And isn't this one of the best baserunning team in the majors?

[Dr. Dinger]

And doubles.

[GD]

And doubles.

 

Generally most things offensive, really.

Out of all of the MLB teams in the playoffs only the Royals strike out less. Most power hitters strike out a lot and thats why they slump. Not these blue jays...

no they didn't but I thought I'd prepare everyone for the Fox broadcast

save time and list the offensive categories that they aren't top 5 in baseball...

 

"crickets"

Stolen bases and triples. If you can't steal and you can't triple then you're obviously going to lose. AA feel asleep at the wheel on that.

This + the Taylor Swift Curse we may be f***ed. Odds stacked against us.

And we have Pillar + Revere capable of stealing 25+ and Pompey on the bench whose faster than both of them. So we can play the speed game as well!

Show me the triples...... And sac bunts. Not leading in sac bunts.

Good bunting is dumb.

jays can steal bases.... choose not to.

 

not a weak point.

[Spanky99]

You guys do realize that Krylian's posts are dripping in sarcasm, right?

 

Yer dumn!

[TheHurl]

Joe Sheehan is good at SI and often gets to write features.

 

I assume this is a regional cover and other regions had their own teams on the cover?

 

No I think that is their cover.
