GDT July 3rd game 2/3 versus Red Sox

[gruber92]

Yes because walking the bases loaded to get to Xander Bogaerts is just a sound strategic decision.

 

Devers has been destroying us and is having a fantastic season. I know Boagarts is no slouch but he is a right handed bat and the fact that there's a force at any bag also helps.

Bogaerts is having just as good of an offensive year and has historically been the better hitter, and he draws a bunch of walks. You never willingly give up a bases loaded situation to face that guy, the fact that there's a base open means nothing if he's just as likely to drill one into the gap or into the bleachers.

He's been going into every AB looking to destroy a hanging breaking ball, easy peasy.

[gruber92]

Holy s***, Jansen is back.

[Orgfiller]

Danny Jansen is scorching.

[Ex Player]

That was a 95mph fastball Jansen hit (EV 105.3)

[Barkerfan23]

Jansen is finally turning it around and showing his potential

[Ex Player]

Holy s***, Jansen is back

2 weeks ago half this board wanted to send him down

[jmomcc]

Jansen turning it around would make me feel a ton better about this season. Especially, when he looks legit behind the plate. That’s a potential building block.

[gruber92]

C'mon Vladdy..

[JFD]

Vladdy just needs to break a bat over his knee to turn things around.

Yeah, people who don't know s***. Young catchers that have been handed the starting gig always work and focus on their defense and calling a good game. Their offense is usually neglected, thus the early struggles. Jansen has shown to have a decent bat, so you know it will come around once he reaches his comfort level defensively.

[Jimcanuck]

Did those f***ing guys just throw out Tellez and Astudillo as ROY candidates?

I think Jansen's potential is better than Russell Martin

[Captain Adama]

Needs to intentionally walk Devers here.

Lmao

[gruber92]

I think Jansen's potential is better than Russell Martin

 

It very well could be. His defense has improved a lot in the past year.

[Orgfiller]

Needs to intentionally walk Devers here.

 

Should have given him the base.

[gruber92]

also we literally dont have anyone

 

I think management would have gave him this year regardless. He has tons of potential.

[gruber92]

Hey guys.. We got a f***ing problem here?

[Orgfiller]

It very well could be. His defense has improved a lot in the past year.

 

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but are you f***ing retarded? At Jansen's age Russell Martin was a 5.5 WAR catcher. He's got 55 career WAR, literally Hall of Fame level. Jansen's potential is not better than a 55 career WAR player, and that's the end of this discussion.

Hmmmm Did Martin Back then know at Jansens age that he had 5.5 War is the question or care ???

How was Martin's BEVR?

[Candy Maldonado]

[Orgfiller]

Nice post-opener start for Waguespack. Looks like the FO listened to you guys, eh Terminator and glory?

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

How was Martin's BEVR?

Or compared to someone you wishing to see

His comparison too ?

 

Or where you thinking what his first year

Vs Jansen what you want ?

[P2F]

Pertaining to the discussion - Martin's 5.5 WAR year at Jansen's age.
