GDT: April 21, 2016 | Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles (3/3)

[burlingtonbandit]

Jeez. Terrible defence once again.

[Hal Johnson]

Ballgame.

[TilsonBritoFan]

What a joke this team is right now

[thatoneguy]

Terrible all around aside from Estrada.

[Statman]

How do you know this? Are you his psychologist?

 

He admitted to mental issues with being traded last year.

[havok24]

this team is just bad

 

at least Arrieta is gonna get his no no

 

So don't watch.

[gruber92]

How much bad luck can one team have?

 

Holy f***.

[Spanky99]

winning run again on passed ball?

 

Diaf

[o2cui2i]

at least we don't have to watch 2 extra innings to lose today

[Dylan]

lucky Os or just a slow defender in RF?

[CJ-Freeway]

this team is just bad

 

at least Arrieta is gonna get his no no

 

Who cares..jwowkskskdkskoeeooeowlslaaaaaaaa

[NJay]

1 run insurmountable

[Effit]

why wouldn't you? edwin stunk so far.

 

Because I'm seeing much worse from other areas of the team.

[TheHurl]

this has just been an ugly game. I really should have stuck watching the ugly Raptors game.

[nmrch]

Atleast 25 other right fielders in baseball get to the that ball

[BTS]

Bautista's days in the OF might be numbered. He's been awful this year.

[John_Havok]

More lucksack Os ...

 

GG. See you next series

[intentional wok]

Passed ball ends up in another run. Nothing going right and no good offence to compensate.

[jackie]

this is a disgraceful display

[Statman]

Another 1 run loss...

[metafour]

He hasn't been horrible but his K rate is 30% which is crazy for him. He has been chasing more than I can remember since he morphed from E5. Another Tulo K.

 

I've brought this up this past offseason: Edwin looks like he's clearly declining and will continue to do so. Look at these plate-discipline/batted-ball rates from the past 5 seasons:

 

Swing %:

41.6%

41.9%

43.3%

44.1%

50.2% (this season)

 

Contact in Strikezone %:

87%

90.3%

88.7%

85.2%

80.7% (this season)

 

Contact %:

82.2%

84.6%

82.3%

78.4%

72.7% (this season)

 

Whiff %:

7.2%

6.3%

7.6%

9.3%

13.3% (this season)

 

 

He is swinging more, making less contact in general, and swinging through more pitches. The last 2-3 years the decline has been obvious. He's going to really fall apart in the next year or 2.

[gbill2004]

Bautista looked lost out there.

[Praxis]

Someone gif that Bautista f*** up and play it to him next time he asks for $457m over 13 years.

[Dylan]

no hitter!!!!

[TilsonBritoFan]

Diaf

 

Based on your reaction to me the other day, don't YOU think that's a little harsh bud?

[Statman]

Bautista isn't even worth 17 mill a year with that defense.

[HERPDERP]

lol random fan started celebrating on the group celebration with Arrieta

[Buster]

Tulo...

 

Golden glove

Golden arm

Golden bat

 

But a fragile head.

 

Who knew

Of course he is declining. He's old.

Arietta another no - no
