Blue Jays vs Red Sox - Game 2 (Apr. 19) - Everything is still bad

[Effit]

Wow, one of our guys put an end to the streak!

[Atothe]

Mookie finally struck out lol

[Maahfaace]

Wow, didn't realize Betts hasn't struck out since late last year, thats incredible!

[bones10]

Liriano looking pretty good

[polar bear]

Mookie finally struck out lol

A all betts are off now,I guess.

[bones10]

Tulo needs to get his head out of his ass

[John_Havok]

Jesus christ Buck shut up

 

Right after comment that strike zone has been noticeably wide:

 

"I love it. I love seeing umpires with an aggressive strike zone, make the batter's swing the bat"

 

Translation.

 

"I love it. I love umpires forcing hitters to swing at pitches outside the actual strike zone, because it's super easy to square up balls coming at you at 95mph already, so swinging at stuff well off the plate will lead to more strikeouts and weak contact for easy outs. I love that kind of no offense baseball."

"I love it. I love umpires forcing hitters to swing at pitches outside the actual strike zone, because it's not hard enough to square up balls coming at you at 95mph already, swinging at stuff well off the plate will lead to more strikeouts and weak contact for easy outs. I love that kind of no offense baseball."

 

Buck is projecting because he was a terrible hitter who forced himself to swing early so he had a chance

It's just a stupid comment to make. It's laughable

[bones10]

Im sure you can make a deduction.

[jaysfan2014]

Here's a 40-man suggestion--DFAing Tepera!

[Atothe]

Im sure you can make a deduction.

 

shut up weirdo

[John_Havok]

Fun with numbers!

 

Prior to tonight's game, all of the jays position players have combined for 0.1 WAR.

 

The number of individual players around baseball with 0.2 or higher?

 

165..... including Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray who has only 7 PA.

[Atothe]

"Tulo needs to get his ass out of his head" apparently can't make a mistake

Yeah, I would say however that Devon Travis is definitely suffering from a severe case of cranial/rectal inversion. He's a dumpster fire in every aspect of the game right now.

his confidence is shot but he's the best option so the leash is long

[el duque]

Liriano is being outstanding

[Atothe]

Liriano on his game tonight

[el duque]

I prefer Barney to Travis, a much better glove and right now also a better hitter

[wk680]

what does that mean?

 

When they pitch you down and away (or up and away), hit the ball to the opposite field. Trying to pull it to left only leads to a lot of ground outs and lazy fly ball outs. that pitch was well located on the lower outer corner of the strike zone. Not one that a smart hitter tries to pull.

Yeah, you can tell he's really pressing trying to bust out of his funk. And I'd still play him every day over Goins

[BlueJays]

Hahaha Bautista

[Effit]

Just go home, Jose.

[John_Havok]

Jose looks like he's trying to guess what the pitcher is throwing..... and is never right

[el duque]

This is open season on José, I hope he will get it back and retires with honors like big papy

[jaysfan2014]

I'm almost tempted to have Dwight Smith Jr. or Ian Parmley called up.. either of them would likely outhit Bautista at this point. Jays need to do something...

Made it sound so easy, get out there and grab a bat

[Effit]

I'll never understand. I'm far more interested in my team making an out than getting a damn ball.
