GST: BlueJays @ Yankees sept 20-22

[Ex Player]

I thought Madani also said something about a diet (or Vlad losing some weight), but I couldve heard that wrong.

 

What he needs is a really good trainer

[Orgfiller]

Both McGuire and Jansen have more experience working with these young starters and both are far better defenders.

 

I'm not sure the latter point is correct, Maile was a better framer last season than Jansen was this season in fewer opportunities, and has consistently rated as an elite defensive catcher in limited playing time. The other stuff is semantics and intangibles so I'm not gonna disagree with you there, but again I'm sure the Jays were using the veteran angle for justifying starting Maile today.

Montoyo sure is throwing the scrubs out there.

I don't see him firing his abuela. She'll continue in her current role.

[DigitalRock]

[Jaysareus]

[BlueBaller]

[Spanky99]

Welp! Thornton follows Font.

 

[Ex Player]

Lets get her done!!

[DigitalRock]

That's an ugly lineup.

[DigitalRock]

Severino gonna Ass rape us.

[Spanky99]

lol... it's over.

[Ex Player]

Look on the bright side guys, after yesterdays win we cant lose 100 games anymore

[Orgfiller]

MLB review is still a f***ing joke, my god.

[Spanky99]

lol... what a brutal call.

[Deadpool]

I love replay, but if you can't even get one as obvious as that, what's the f***ing point?

 

That was ludicrous.

[Slade]

Reese McGuire has accumulated more fWAR than Will Smith in half as many games.

[Orgfiller]

Man I know the super inconsistent PT is doing him no favours but Alford looks dreadful at the plate.

[Orgfiller]

Damn, two shots for McKinney both against lefties.

[Abomination]

It really feels like there should be something more there with him. Somehow there just hasn't been.

He's one of those guys that's always just hit in the minors. People think he has no tools because he's white and has a boring name without flashy tools but I think he's got pretty much average to below average tools across the board, which if it all clicks can turn into a decent player.

Yeah, I think that's pretty accurate.

Seems racist to say "People think he has no tools because he's white and has a boring name". Ted Williams is a pretty boring sounding name and so is Mike Trout....

It's racist to say there's any sort of racism against white folks. Get with the program.

[glory]

Billy McKinney being white has nothing to do with how people perceive him. Come on. He is not a good fielder, base runner, or hitter. He has some pop and doesn't hit a lot of GB's. That's the only positives I can think of with him. Otherwise he looks like the most ordinary/replaceable player out there. If he could play a legit CF, then I'd be more patient with him (same with Teoscar and Fisher) but he (they) can't.

It's pretty accurate though. He's pasty white and likely better than Alford, but Alford is black and fast so everyone thinks his floor is Mike Cameron or something even though Alford is objectively awful at baseball and the jury is still out on McKinney.

[Barkerfan23]

Jury is still out on McKinney huh

 

I guess he needs 5000 plate appearances before you realize he is a zero as a player?

 

Poor offensively and defensively in almost a full season of baseball doesn't mean anything these days.

Alford has at minimum 2 tools that are above average, while McKinney doesn't appear to have any.

[Krylian]

Alford is black so he's likely got a 3rd tool that's above average as well.
