Series At A Glance... Red Sox @ Blue Jays - Aug 28-30, incl GDT's

[Spanky99]

Look who's talking. Do yourself a favour and take a slow walk through a car wash.

 

Settle down twinkle toes.

[Spanky99]

The Beeg is easily a better starter than Stroman.

[gruber92]

I don't mean to pile on gruber, but your point about Stroman being lucky wasn't quite supported during that inning lol.

 

TBH, i'm just trying to educate myself on some of the advanced stats i don't 100% understand. So when i come off sounding stupid for asking, i get piled on.

[Orgfiller]

He's trash. Of all the slop we've used at backup C this year he might be the worst and that's saying something. Seems like this moment in the bigs might be too big for him or something. That throw was a joke.

 

At least Maile was a f***ing rock behind the dish. They're all s*** at hitting but at least give me the ones that won't be leaking back there while handling the pitching staff well.

[Spanky99]

That Danmy Jansen guy has to be better than these 2 clowns, right?

 

He's not close to the Majors yet, bruh.

[Abomination]

Over / under on how many more innings before Angel throws someone out?

Nah don't worry, I appreciate you trying to expand your knowledge of newer stats. By FIP and xFIP, you would be right that Stroman has benefited from some luck, however even if his ERA matched those two, Stroman would still be performing admirably. Remember this is the AL East and he plays in a hitter's park so his numbers are expected to be higher than some of his counterparts around the league.

[gruber92]

He's not close to the Majors yet, bruh.

 

A lot closer than Lopez will ever be.

[THANOS]

Not close Spanky? I know Shatkins tend to be more conservative with their prospect development, but he's tearing up AAA right now and most reports on his defense are quite decent.

Maybe next September, sure.

Raffy's in the Majors, Gruber logic.^^^^

[THANOS]

Maybe next September, sure.

 

That's possible, but I could see him as the BU as early as next April.

[gruber92]

Man you're dumb.

[Spanky99]

Easy, the only reason he's in AAA is from injuries and to fill room. That's super aggressive, man

[Spanky99]

Man you're dumb.

 

Says the stump.

[gruber92]

Easy, the only reason he's in AAA is from injuries and to fill room. That's super aggressive, man

 

The only reason Lopez is in the majors is for that exact same reason stooge.

[TheHurl]

Well this Spanky generated series GDT will guarantee a Boston sweep.

 

Spanky's SAAG is top notch

[Spanky99]

The only reason Lopez is in the majors is for that exact same reason stooge.

 

No s***, gimp! I'm talking to HIM about Jansen.

[gruber92]

No s***, gimp! I'm talking to HIM about Jansen.

 

You come off sounding like Lopez is the BETTER option. Jansen will outperform Lopez at the MLB level right now and it's all about starting his MLB clock too soon in a nothing season (same with Maguire).

[Spanky99]

You come off sounding like Lopez is the BETTER option.

 

Never said this once, ya stunned f***ing toe-rag. As for the rest, thanks coach!

[TheHurl]

For the record Clayton Keyes is not 6'8" as they said. Ben Abram is the u18 player that is 6'8".

[TheHurl]

yay for unsuccessful sacrifices

[Abomination]

FFS, if we're gonna sacrifice, at least do it with someone who knows how.

[TheHurl]

There is zero chance you get a triple play by letting that drop...unless Lopez fell, died or just decided to walk back to the dugout.

[TheHurl]

That is so f***ing close...but 95% of umps are calling that foul just based on where it ended up bouncing.

[Abomination]

Yeah, 50-50 imo. Don't have an issue with the call.

[Daniel Labude]

This really annoys me...we cant even get a mediocre sac bunt, it's like anyone who becomes a Blue Jay doesn't know how to bunt

[burlingtonbandit]

Tulo makes that play

[Orgfiller]

Lol Junior Cruz, nice one Buck. I think you were going for Jose Cruz Jr.
