Blue Jays vs. Rangers - August 14, 2019

[Candy Maldonado]

where was the fan to interfere on that hit?

[DigitalRock]

Allard is lucky lots of hard contact right at people.

[Jonn]

I know hes not great prospect. But how the f*** did Texas get Allard for journey man Chris Martin. Former first round pick and only 21 at the time just turned 22.

There was concerns about his velo decline.

[Ray]

Bichette's ability to hit to all fields is freakish man.

Also, Chris Martin is pretty damn good:

Bichette is good.

[DigitalRock]

Biggio struggling, that was ball 4. Oh well.

Hes also 33. Damn we should hit up Atlanta more often.

[BigCecil]

I like Biggio and I’m not saying it was easy at 98, but the most hittable pitch he saw was strike 1. He ended up swinging at ball 4 to K. Love his eye but would like to see him more aggressive early.

Yeah it's ok to be patient.. But if you get one down the middle swing, doesn't matter what the count is, swing at good pitches to hit.. Easier said then done of course.

[Jonn]

Mazara is always due for atleast one mammoth homerun against us.

 

Also hilarious to see this scrawny ginger warming up to death metal lol.

[DigitalRock]

Why does Vlad always point to first on a check swing?

[DigitalRock]

Floating strike zone good times.

[Jonn]

Anyone who still thinks Bo can’t play SS is retarded.

[Ex Player]

Who was it that said Bo's defence wasnt that good and he needs to be moved to 1B??

[gruber92]

I have to say, McGuire calls a better game than Jansen. Three straight breaking balls down and in, and to a LHH to boot.

[gruber92]

Fisher looks uncomfortable even when catching routine fly balls. His bat might turn into something, but he's a total spazz in the outfield, way too tentative.

Looks like the Jays gave away Sanchez et all. Fisher looks no better than McKinney.

[Jonn]

I wouldn’t be shocked if Fisher is not even on the 40-man this time next season.

Asset management is a serious issue with the Shitkins regime.

"They were just not going to budge on Fisher unless they got what they wanted, so naturally I had to comply."

You've seen Fisher for two weeks, Jesus f***ing Christ.

I don't know if he said that verbatim, but I believe that was LTBF.

[gruber92]

So I guess his defensive ability will magically change. Nobody is arguing that his bat has potential, but his inability in tracking fly balls is just what he is unfortunately. He may improve a bit, but his defense can only be tolerated if he's raking at the plate.

We've also seen Bo Bichette for two weeks...and he's clearly going to be the greatest baseball player in the history of the game.

Derek Fisher, in his absurdly limited SSS at the major leagues, has played 760 innings in the outfield. He has 7 DRS and a UZR of 2.3. There is absolutely nothing f***ing wrong with Derek Fisher's defense.

 

Maybe he got the yips because a ball hit him in the f***ing face, but just because he looks awkward catching a ball near his head doesn't mean he's doing anything wrong out there FFS.

 

IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS.

If it helps, Cal Stevenson is walking more than striking out in the Astros organization.

Stevenson in Dunedin: 50BB, 52K

Stevenson in Fayetteville: 5BB, 4K

 

Yup. He's totally turned it around.

It's like you haven't watched Teoscar go from horrid defensively to average over the past year.
