Rays at Bluejays Game 1 of 3

[glory]

Teoscar has been on a tear since last June. Exit velo doesn’t lie.

[KevinGregg]

His ceiling isn't a number 5. It's much higher.

 

I think we have to at least give him a shot as a starter to see if he can maintain 95+ for 6 innings

[Jimcanuck]

I can see Borucki as a bulk reliever following an opener.

[DigitalRock]

Bichette is a beaut.

Only possible knock on him right now is his k/bb, but if he's managing a .677 SLG, I think we can all give him a pass on that one.

Not a great sign of things to come. No one can sustain that.

How about that Rowdy Tellez kid. The shaved dome is treating him well.

Arent there lots of great hitters who had a s***** k/bb ratio??

 

Too lazy to google

If you consider Tim Anderson to be great.

Not to Teoscar's current extent. Right now his BB/K ratio is a tiny 0.11 and his wRC+ is 158.

 

No players since 1945 over their career have had a BB/K that low and been an above average hitter.

Javier Baez (0.17 and 104 wRC+) and Tim Anderson (0.13 and 99 wRC+) are the closest.

 

When you think about great hitters with s***** BB/K ratios, it's players like Matt Kemp and Jose Abreu who are examples. Both have better BB/K rates than Teoscar but he could do something similar if he could just walk a bit more while maintaining his current K rate.

Then Teo will have to make an adjustment which I think he will

This seemed quite concerning to me until I looked at his stats and realized he's only had 68 plate appearances. I checked his 2nd half hot streak to see if it was as lucky as this one, but his walk rate was 10% which was above his career average. Teoscar isn't likely a 50% above average hitter. He came into the year just a tick above league average. It is possible he's 15 to 20%+ above league average, which is just fine with me.

I'm 5 vodkas into tonight.

 

I hope I stay awake for the 6:37 first pitch.

 

Cheers!!!

Yeah, I'm not a dipshit who fluctuates my opinion from game to game so I don't really have a comment other than Rowdy Tellez is probably still really bad.

Why don't you go read my posts? I said Rowdy was a good player when he had a .501 OPS and everyone laughed. I haven't changed my opinion once you sexy piece of man meat!

He didn’t say you’ve changed your opinion. Relax.
