Tercet bets against himself, loses $500

[Krylian]

Teoscar takes Madson deep on 97MPH. "Only hits bad pitching"

 

Wasn't the pitch down the pipe?

Teoscar has done a great job so far. 1.7 fWAR through his first 122 games in the majors. If he can slug his way to a couple of league average seasons in a corner OF spot, that's an amazing return on a few months of Francisco Liriano.

Teo has a lot more power than I was given to believe when the Jays acquired him. He’s like Khris Davis with more defensive utility.

[z3r0s]

Teams need guys like Teo. I have to think there is some better D in there somewhere to. That would go a long way

He’s basically Domingo Santana, before he stopped hitting for any powe.

His arm is probably a 70 so if he can clean up his routes a bit he'll be a plus in LF. Even already he looks a hell of a lot better in LF than he did in RF.

That doesn't make any sense to me unless it's a mental thing.

You don’t think LF is easier than RF?

You don't think he's looked better defensively since getting moved to LF?

I think that's a nonsensical Pat Tabler anecdote.

[Brownie19]

I might be missing your sarcasm, but in terms of route, positioning and tracking the ball - no, I don't. RF has an extra throw (RF to 3rd base) you have to make, although in general there are fewer balls hit to RF. Personally, based on Teoscar's route running and strong arm - he seems like perfect fit in RF. Put Grichuk and Pillar in LF and CF where there are more opportunities.

 

The only thing I can't of that makes LF easier than RF is ball park configuration, or if someone struggles with balls slicing away from them (in which case LF would get fewer of those than RF). But that would seem negligible overall.

I dunno he looked awful in RF. In left he seems to have better routes to the ball.

Leiper said as much, they love their OF defense the past few weeks, you're right, they think as much for now.

Hernandez is slashing .268/.319/.550 for the season now with a 133 OPS+

 

I still can't believe we got an everyday OF for Francisco Liriano.

Out of all Qualified OFer... 11th in OPS

Will he finish the season top 15 in OPS?

Does tercet want to place another bet?

His 133 wRC+ is 33rd best in baseball right now.

[Jonn]

One hell of a mirage boys.

Back to s*** routes for Teoscar. Leiper and Tabby can say all they want but it doesn't make any sense.

[closetjaysfan]

His BABIP is back up where it was in MAR/APR. My big concern is he went from a 10.1 BB%, 21.7 K% in MAR/APR to a 2.3 BB%, 25.6 K% in JUN (and basically the same in April). That s*** doesn't seem sustainable.

 

Yet his K% is better than a good chunk of our hitters, granted there have been a lot of injuries but we cant forget he is a rookie that we traded for next to nothing:

 

Maile

Granderson

Donaldson

Grichuck

Martin

Smoak

 

All have worse K rates and at the end of the day his OPS, WAR and WRC+ speak for themselves.

$500 is a lot of money!!

Maybe for you, but not for Poker Superstars.

For me it's nothing...I'm a baller. I was referring to average Joe's like you.

Get on it.

375 babip, 5.6%bb, 31%k, the mirage is strong throughout June..

 

But we should just induct him into the HOF

 

LOL VARIANCE

[Laika]

Teoscar "The Mirage" Hernandez is kind of a cool nickname

 

It'll be a neat little joke he can work into his HOF induction speech too

At what point are you going to concede that he's a decent player?
