GDT: Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox 5/22

[DigitalRock]

Jesus this kid is special. Please don’t waste this guy’s career by surrounding him with s*** teams.

 

Yeah this is the key.

[Jimcanuck]

Fangraphs has him at 118 after the dinger.

 

So what would it be with a normal .300 BABIP, do you know

[Abomination]

Paddack versus the Jays on Sunday? I know who I'll be taking in DFS.

I just feel like this needs to be posted more.

That's way outside of my area of expertise...

[Ex Player]

Vladdie is on course to hit 50 dingers

Only 50? I dunno, I feel like he's probably going to end the year around 200...

[Daniel Labude]

Little late...but....

 

Vladito!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ex Player]

Sanchez kinda sucks

How exactly is 2 runs in 5 innings sucking?? Thats a 3.60 ERA

[Krylian]

29 walks in 51 innings sucks

Man, he just... he looks great for like 3-4 innings and then he implodes. He's having a pretty good game today, xFIP of 4.41, just... can't KEEP it locked down.

[Ex Player]

29 walks in 51 innings sucks

Okay, but he has crazy movement on his pitches. Hard to control sometimes.

So long as his ERA stays around 3.50 to 3.80 I dont think the walks matter too much

Is it likely to keep his ERA around there though? And walking way too many people isn't going to help the ERA.

Here's the goods on Vladdy's home run:

But that's just the problem - the more baserunners he allows, the less sustainable that ERA becomes. ERA is not as predictive as FIP, xFIP, or SIERA, and those stats like Sanchez a whole lot less.

[Jimcanuck]

Whoa Davis can sure run them down

[Deadpool]

Damn, that was REALLY lucky that it hit him right there.

[Omar]

Close call for Chavis....glad hes ok.

[Deadpool]

This ump, like every single ump, is garbage at calling the zone.

[Jimcanuck]

Whoa Davis can sure run them down

 

Pillar would be diving for that one

[Deadpool]

How many of you guys are triggered by "pride night"? Boxy, I'm looking in your direction...

Well....he has a lifetime ERA of 3.48. In his AS season he had gave up 63 walks in 30 games. So far this year he has given up 29 walks in 10 starts (not including this game). Its a bit much, but I think it'll balance itself out over 30 starts.

Especially if he keeps getting a friendly umpire like we have today

[Jonn]

I kind of want that Pride hoodie. Looks good.

[Jonn]

Please don’t be hurt

[Deadpool]

Noice, that's a'ite

[Candy Maldonado]

already injured again

[Omar]

Imagine if we had guys who could hit in front of VGJ.

[Deadpool]

He whacked the bat off his ankle, that isn't worrying at all.

[Jimcanuck]

He's at the game

[Deadpool]

He's at the game

 

Yeah, I think I saw him actually...
