GDT: (1/3). Theee Toronto Bluebirdies vs Oakland Athletics. 10.05pm

[Jonn]

Why is that funny? I don't get it.

 

He doesn't have anything clever to say. He knows they're right.

[gruber92]

He's been utter s*** for the last three weeks, so not wanting him to continue getting the most at bats isn't really that crazy.

 

He's been fantastic for two months, you ever hear of hitters going into slumps periodically? It happens to the best of them and all of them.

[Daniel Labude]

0-31 RISP...gotta break the streak tonight and get the offense rolling again

[Maahfaace]

On the plus side with Mannea pitch count up, Jays get to smash some shiat bullpen soon.

[Jonn]

Good hitters generally avoid epic slumps.

[Terminator]

What of his track record makes you think he could keep that pace up or that he warrants the most ABs of anyone on the team? Every hear of regression to the mean?

[Maahfaace]

Gruber, tell us what Pillar needs to work on swing wise or approach wise in order to get out of this slump. We all want to know your opinion.

[gruber92]

Why is that funny? I don't get it.

 

You don't have to always base anything and everything on projections.

 

P.S.. Jonn you can f*** off anytime now.

[gruber92]

Good hitters generally avoid epic slumps.

 

This slump is epic? STFU moron.

[Daniel Labude]

Shut-up... thanks.

 

Quit acting like a little kid...thanks

[Pendleton]

On the plus side with Mannea pitch count up, Jays get to smash some shiat bullpen soon.

 

Yep that was the one silver lining out of that, they're (also) going to need some bullpen innings here in game one.

[Terminator]

You don't have to always base anything and everything on projections.

 

P.S.. Jonn you can f*** off anytime now.

 

Yeah but what else can I base it off of? I'm not a scout but I can understand stats at a pretty high level. I understand projections as well. What do you base it off of? Your naked eye?

[Effit]

This thread is quickly going down the toilet.

we are drunk; team is jet lagged

[gruber92]

Why is it you can't grasp the fact that he has a different approach than he had in filling his track record? Let's just watch this play out and stop knee jerking every time a player is in a slump.

[Spanky99]

Quit acting like a little kid...thanks

 

Sorry... coach.

It is

[vdubmvp]

This slump is epic? STFU moron.

 

It is a pretty brutal slump. wRC+ of 17 and an OBP of .219. No one is saying they want him off the team or that he should be relegated to the bench, so I don't know why you're so worked up over this.

[gruber92]

Secondly, i'm not the one who is slotting him in the lead off spot. Tweet Gibby and give him a piece of your mind.

[vdubmvp]

This thread is quickly going down the toilet.

 

It always does when we're losing.

[Daniel Labude]

This ump is both

[Grant77]

I thought he was out from the full speed replay, but definitely safe.

[Spanky99]

He's safe. Heads up play by Martin.

[bones10]

blah

[Spanky99]

He's just suggesting to move him down, nothing wrong with that.

[Omar]

Oh s***.

[Pendleton]

Rajai can f*** right off immediately

 

Edit - Holy s*** did I make that happen?

[Spanky99]

lol

[Omar]

Happ release point all over the place.

[Spanky99]

Thanks Rajai, idiot.
