SGDT: Nats @ Jays 15-17

[MarcoSanchez]

Hey what happened the last time we had a huge morale building win over Washington and Max Scherzer

[saskjayfan]

nice to see Travis coming along....SRF with another nice start. SRF could be a nice addition next year.

They must have taken a team nap before this one.

Looks like June 2, 2015: 2nd game of a doubleheader. Jays win 7-3 (W-Estrada, L-Scherzer). Start of a nice little run for the team

[Krylian]

He's putting up a 117 wRC+ this year with a VERY high walk rate. I'll be happy to take that again next year.

 

I want more than that from my 1B.

[Abomination]

I want more than that from my 1B.

 

Well, a 117 puts him 11th in baseball among qualified 1st basemen. Of course more would be nice, but there's more teams than not who would love to have what we're getting offensively at 1st.

[gruber92]

What the f*** are you on about? Smoak and Chris Davis are nothing alike and there's no reason to believe Smoak will have an all-time horrific season next year.

 

I clearly said a Chris Davis "type" season next year, not saying they're similar players. If you can comprehend the English language, I clearly compared him to Lyle Overbay with a bit more pop.

Lyle Overbay with a bit more pop is a very solid player.

Of course. But my mentality is always, 'if you're a championship calibre team, is player X on your roster'? There aren't too many on this team that I like as serious core pieces. Filler guys? Sure. You're always gonna have #8 #9 guys in the lineup... But I'm a traditionalist in that I kinda like elite level production from my 1B. Smoak provided that last season, so it's in him... But we've only ever seen it the once.

I could be wrong but it's 6 in a row at home

[Orgfiller]

 

No streak could last that long because we had Halladay on the team

[Krylian]

Lyle Overbay with a bit more pop is a very solid player.

 

Both with soft hands.

[Spanky99]

Nice start from Gaviglio, 9 pitches with 2 K's.

[jays4life19]

Lol how the f*** was that a strike

[Orgfiller]

It looks like it took the tenacious Blue Jays pitching staff to finally figure out Juan Soto.

[Spanky99]

Seeing eye shyte!

[gruber92]

Martin had turned into some hot garbage.

[gruber92]

Seeing eye shyte!

 

You got to pitch the smaller slap hitters on the inner half steady.

 

Martin with another laser down to second.

[gruber92]

Anything else Russ?

[Spanky99]

This game's moving at a snail's pace.

[Abomination]

Well, Nats giving a clinic on how to manufacture runs.

Thanks coach.

[Spanky99]

Torched... liking this Grichuk!

[Spanky99]

Diaz ankle is bothering him, nice poke and hustle.

[Abomination]

Wild throws and a balk?

 

Cutting down their swings, getting on base, stealing at will.
