Yankees vs. Blue Jays - June 26, 2019

[BlueRocky]

Hi guys, I came for Pineapple dingers

[Ray]

He got all his hits on bad pitches, they really don't count.

[Deadpool]

Y'know, I'm REALLY happy that Gurriel is just demolishing baseballs, but I'm extra happy 'cause eventually tercet is going to have to admit that he was wrong about something.

[Krylian]

Where's the Gurr...Derp...BABIP?

[BlueRocky]

He got all his hits on bad pitches, they really don't count.

 

Yeah I mean, those don’t even count towards his BABIP. What a disappointment

[Spanky99]

This game is just loaded with hard hit balls, crazy.

[Orgfiller]

Lol @ Vlad trying to soak up the mojo.

lol... no he won't.

Those two have such crazy energy, I love it!

[Jonn]

Someone call tecret he’s crying.

[Deadpool]

lol... no he won't.

 

His wRC+ is 154 after that homer. But, true, he does dig in on really stupid things.

[Terminator]

Thank god for Gurriel and Biggio. Adding some much needed optimism to this otherwise horrid season. If Jansen and Vlad can get it going more toward expectations I can actually feel a little better about next season.

[gruber92]

Randal Grichuk..

I'm breathing a pretty big sigh of relief about Gurriel, because I was starting to worry about his contract being a sunk cost. He should probably never step foot in the infield again, but he just might be a viable starting OF.

Bo Bichette is just really fun to watch. I can’t wait till he gets up here.

I can't even find tercet's account, has he been abolished from the forum?

[Terminator]

Yeah let's say Biggio, Vlad, Gurriel AND Bo all work out. That's a damn good core to build around, all with about 6 years of control. Wow!

[BTS]

In celebration of Gurriel's wRC+ cruising past 150 I've lifted tercet's ban 5 days early.

[Spanky99]

And Tellez hasn't been bad by any stretch as a rookie.

Oh, that's why I couldn't find his profile.

[BTS]

Tellez has been really bad man

[Terminator]

Yeah and given that 3B, SS and 2B appear to be filled with possible star players there shouldn't be an abundant need for him there anyway. Maybe if we have a flyball pitcher going he could get a start at 2B or 3B 10 games a year or something but that's about it.

[Spanky99]

As a rookie? Meh...

He's probably not even interested in ever going back. I don't know to what extent his offensive struggles at the start were exacerbated by him going full Russ Adams at 2B, but it might not be a coincidence that he started hitting as soon as he was taken from a situation he was failing at and put in a situation in which he's succeeding defensively. If I'm his manager he doesn't even have an infield glove anymore, and his job is to get as comfortable as he can in left.

[Jonn]

As a rookie? Meh...

 

Sure he has 14 homeruns but hes been pretty abysmal all-around. Maybe if you’re comparing him to Jansen hes looked great at the plate.

[Deadpool]

Man, how many times have the Yankees JUST beat a throw this game? It's kinda crazy.

[Ex Player]

Just got back home. We're actually winning a game??

I dont believe it.

 

Too bad about Thornton

[gruber92]

That was a horrible throw from Grichuk

[Ex Player]

Look at the speed on EE.....LOL

And you'll always have him as an infielder in a pinch.
