AL Wild Card Round: Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays

[Grant77]

Usually these bloop hits and check swing bunt singles would score at the Trop. Maybe it's a good sign.

[Spanky99]

Espinal has also been far better...

 

Yes, definitely defensively.

[Deadpool]

Kirk sitting on first pitch breaking ball and smokes a double, here's hoping.

 

Almost...

[saskjayfan]

ahh...no luck

[Deadpool]

Yes, definitely defensively.

 

Higher wRC+, also been worth .5 more WAR (0.2 v/ -0.3)

 

MAN, Jansen robbed as well...

[Orgfiller]

Scorched line drive, Rays defense f***s us. God damn I f***ing hate the Trop.

[Spanky99]

Damn their OF!!!

[glory]

Rays are going to catch everything that stays in the park.

 

I truly hate that team/stadium.

[connorp]

Rays are going to catch everything that stays in the park.

 

I truly hate that team/stadium.

 

Meh hitting is the trade off.

[saskjayfan]

f***....snell is looking good

[Deadpool]

Rays are going to catch everything that stays in the park.

 

I truly hate that team/stadium.

 

And they're going to kill us with dribblers and bloops... f***ing Rays.

[Waylanderz]

Snell is nasty. Going to need some luck.

[Laika]

The Rays’ defense is insane. Demoralizing

[Omar]

Snell just cruisin through 3

[Spanky99]

Higher wRC+, also been worth .5 more WAR (0.2 v/ -0.3)

 

MAN, Jansen robbed as well...

 

Espinal?

[Orgfiller]

Snell has his best stuff and the Rays defense is incredible. We're gonna need to get some ******** going our way for once in this damn park.

[havok24]

Filthy slider.

[204BJs]

Shoe looking good too. Can't wait to put some runs on the board for him

[Spanky99]

The Shoeman looks locked in, man!

[Grant77]

Too bad he didn't get that call inside

Could have been an immaculate inning I think.

[EdwinsParrot]

Shoe lookin good

[Spanky99]

Woohoo!

[Orgfiller]

Shoemaker is dealing and the righties at the top of the lineup are getting a second look at Snell. We're taking the lead this inning.

[Spanky99]

Astros win game 1.

[Deadpool]

Espinal?

 

Yeah, Espinal's wRC+ is 76, and Villar's is 66 (only 40 with the Jays). Espinal has been worth 0.2 WAR, Villar -0.3 (0 exactly with the Diamondbacks, -0.3 with the Jays)

I's rather go with Panik... wRC+ of 115 second half.

[jaysguy44]

So dumb, Ray is coming in? Dammit

[Grant77]

This is outrageous. You have to adapt your plan to the flow of the game.

[Deadpool]

Regardless, shouldn't be Villar. He hasn't earned as much playing time as he's gotten.

[204BJs]

So shoe is done? Really?
