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

[TheHurl]

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

 

You'd never ask a pitcher to throw a pitch that they haven't thrown since High School or college...but ask big leaguers to bunt. Just stop working on it and take it out of your teams repertoire. I see it as Lopez has a 29% chance of doing something positive (hit or walk)...what are the chances he does something negative (double play or out not advancing the runner) it better be significantly higher than the odds of him making a successful sacrifice. Bunting is really f***ing hard

[Spanky99]

Fack... nice play.

[TheHurl]

shouldn't it have been instinct to go home as soon as he caught it?

[Orgfiller]

Holy f***, he did it again! Another unreal play!

[TheHurl]

Seems like Pillar makes these on Stro starts more often.

[Spanky99]

Phenomenal Catch... one of, if not the best I've seen.

[EdwinsParrot]

Damn what a play

[Daniel Labude]

Pillar has really picked up his game the last few weeks. Heck of a catch!!!!!

[Orgfiller]

Welp, Raffy Lopez with another mammoth foul ball.

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

lol that was a majestic bat flip

[gruber92]

Loup is s***.

[BigCecil]

Statscast should be off the charts. That was a long way. Just an incredible catch. watched it with my kid 20 times.

Living up to Superman, haha! Unreal.

[Spanky99]

Nice pick by Smoak.

[TheHurl]

Goins may have made the play of the game by going home with the bases loaded

[TheHurl]

Koehler gives us two innings before his DFA tonight?

[Spanky99]

lol... Buck's drunk!

[gruber92]

Stroman's change actually looked pretty good, a bit up, but nice movement. He should use it more often.

[gruber92]

Interesting note.. Steamer had Vladdy Jr at a 76 wRC+ for 2017. Only about 100 points off..

That's a MLB projection, lol.

[Abomination]

That's a MLB projection, lol.

 

This, it's also a projection for the rest of the season at the major league level, not for what it was at the start of the season.

[gruber92]

That's a MLB projection, lol.

 

Really?

[Spanky99]

Crushed... Smoak... just Wow!

[Abomination]

I'm sure we'll still lose the game, but adding a few runs to Kimbrel's tally always feels good.

[Spanky99]

Really?

 

Yes, just ignore those, it's a projection if he were in the league this year, that's pretty damn good.

I didn't look. What's his season projection, not ROS?

[TheHurl]

I steal here.

[Abomination]

Not sure I like Morales versus Kimbrel's slider.

but he's 1 for 1 with a HR. Jays can't lose

"That was a good read right there from Benintendi - he knew exactly where that ball was going to come down. He took his eye off the ball and then ran to that spot where he thought it was coming down...from Pearce...and then it was actually sitting there waiting for him. He's playing just a little bit deeper...he watches it come off the bat, takes his eye off of it, runs to the spot...and waits for it. That's how you...read the ball off the bat."

 

Pat Tabler, everybody.
