8/17 Blue Jays @ Yankees - Series Thread

Ernie Whitt, was a boss! Buck was his back-up, lol.

[Orgfiller]

Lol @ Greg Bird, wtf was he doing?

[THANOS]

Read that Foley had 6 K's through 4.1 IP, how did his stuff look?

Command overall was pretty bad across the board, however the fastball was pretty good regardless, hitters were having a really tough time with it. The slider wasn't sharp due to him being unable to command it well, but got three strikeouts (two swinging) on it, the changeup was bad to mediocre.

Cue the comeback against Bettances.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like there's tons of promise, and swing and miss, but control, let alone, command, is real inconsistent. Kind of the usual issues that seem to plague Foley. Hope, we can work out magic on him in the off-season.

[Abomination]

It must be really unnerving as a batter to face a guy with triple digit heat and no idea where it's going.

[Orgfiller]

McKinney really showing that Justin Upton upside this game.

[glory]

Funny Upton meme aside I think McKinney has a chance t be a decent regular. Not a star or anything but positive WAR for a number of years.

Happ on the mound for the Yankees

 

[Orgfiller]

What a shot by Grichuk!

[Bobthe4th]

Haha, Buck trying to pronounce the Yankees catcher’s name.

[Orgfiller]

Borucki can't get anything going his way right now. Ump not giving him the K on the Hicks walk, three straight groundball singles.

[Bobthe4th]

Borucki might not get out of the 1st at this point.

[Orgfiller]

Nightmare outing for Borucki.

[Dylan]

lol this is ugly!

[BTS]

Nice little meltdown Borucki has going on

"Sometimes it's better to clear the bases and clear your mind".

 

No, I'm pretty sure giving up a grand slam is never a good thing.

Tabler?

Not getting whiffs (6.5 SwStr%) and insane HR/FB luck (1.8% before this start) will eventually catch up to you.

 

I hope he doesn't get penciled into the rotation for next year, because there's a strong chance that he isn't very good.

[Abomination]

Borucki with a blister apparently.

Yeah he hasn't been able to strike guys out in some time, it was bound to happen.

[Jonn]

Looks like we got Ryan Bukaki today.

[Bobthe4th]

I’d like to see Shafer pitch today, not sure if he's available.

[Ray]

Should we try to deal Aledmys Diaz in the offseason? 101 OPS+ and he's rebounded well when it comes to defense.

 

If we actually had a good primary SS, Diaz would've been a very good backup the entire season. Way better than Goins/Barney

His control should make him an attractive trade chip plus he has some power that plays a decent Shortstop. The answer to that question is depending on what you can get in return. We are definitely going to have to get rid of the infield glut. I have no idea if Tulo will ever play again but I assume both Travis and Solarte are gone next season so Diaz might be our best option at SS unless they want Gurriel Jr to have the job and see what he could do.

[Orgfiller]

God f***ing damnit Buck.

[Orgfiller]

Lol "Danny knows that his former teammate J.A. Happ...", they were literally never on a team together, shut up idiots.

[King]

Jansen is giving off some legitimate vibes. He doesn't look like a 23 year old rookie catcher making his debut.

 

Lol @ Gardner
