GDT: Cincinnati Reds @ Toronto Blue Jays (1/3)- 7:07 PM

He already had one with his recent 2 game suspension, plus they only played 5 games last week. Anyway, hope this doesn't turn into a prolonged slump

 

Pillar's always been very streaky. There's a good chance he isn't the hitter we've seen to start the year and is much closer to the hitter we've seen the past 2 years. I suspect in a months time he'll be back hitting 8th and at the end of the year, we'll consider it "improvement' if he gets his wRC+ anywhere near 100.

I still think he is a .260 hitter his issue right now is that he has gone back to flailing at everything like in years past. I don't know maybe i am just speculating on a slump but if he keeps regressing back to his norms i would like to see Tulo eventually try hitting lead off.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saving that to embarass him or anything. I just didn't read the thread yesterday at all so it took me to the beginning when I clicked and had to bump that reverse jinx.

Yeah maybe, his bb% is up though and k% down. Even during his streaky moments he never had as much discipline as he's shown thus far. So I think its fair to expect sustainable improvement

We're talking BB% up 2 and K% down 2. His O-Swing% is only down 3-4%, Swing% is the same.....is that true change? or just a hot streak? It doesn't seem like a drastic change to me.

 

I'll ask...is Smoak's sustainable improvement? His K% is way down.

Well Zips and Steamer are moving their projections upward for him. 107 and 102 wRC+ when I believe both had him below 100 to begin the year.

This is wrong.

 

Spanks next time you decide to do shrooms invite me please.

Tee-hee.

It worked perfectly.
