GDT Jays at Red Sox Game 2/2 - April 21 @ 7:10 ET

[WONDERBAT]

[WONDERBAT]

Fixed, just wanted to get the thread up.

 

Finally good to see Biggio back in the leadoff spot. Lineup looks pretty brutal after Guerrero, need Teoscar and Springer back.

[Stangstag]

I like the shakeup. Even when we first acquired him, I didn't think that Semien should be hitting in the top half of the lineup. Hope Rowdy can start showing some signs of life. Can't wait til Springer finally starts

[Jays24]

Love the shake up finally. Called Biggio going back to leadoff while putting Semien lower a week or so ago. This is what we should have done as soon as Springer was out anyways.

[G-Snarls]

Let's score some runs!

LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*

I like the mix up with one issue, I don't like to see Polacios hitting ahead of Gurriel. Not only does this not make sense statistically, but that's a slap to Gurriel's face. Let's see if this gets him going or creates a tiff with him and Charlie.

[BlueRocky]

Interesting thought they’d wait for Springer before shaking things up. This offense really needs a jolt.

 

Missed the game yesterday and watched the replay, nice to see Vladdy doing things at 3B.

[gruber92]

There could a roughly one hour delay to tonight's game according to the current forecast.

Yeah, Polacios f***ing suxxx, that's interesting.

[BlueRocky]

Vlad & Bo needs some help.

 

Vlad Jr - 218 wRC+, 1.2 fWAR

Bichette - 141 wRC+, 0.7 fWAR

Grichuk - 131 wRC+, 0.4 fWAR

 

Espinal 95 wRC+

Semien 66 wRC+

Kirk 61 wRC+

Rowdy 27 wRC+

Everyone else has a 0 WAR or negative war. And yes Jansen has a negative wRC..

I'm guessing a start time in the 8:30-9:00 pm EST range.

Do players see it this way though? They have one job to do regardless of where they sit in the order. Gurriel has not been getting the job done period

[JFD]

of course it's raining ffs..

It'll sure wake him up, this whole team needs to wake up. I like this shakeup. If they don't like it f*** you, play better.

[Slyfisher]

I like the shake up finally.. Have no idea what took so long

[Slyfisher]

7:40 est starting time now

[saskjayfan]

Yeah, Polacios f***ing suxxx, that's interesting.

 

Where did he say Polacios f***ing suxx lol. Gurriel has been awful this year, but given his career body of work at the MLB level, I'd bat him ahead of a rookie too. I think Polacios is showing some promise. I just like Gurriel and he's due to break out of this funk.

I'm agreeing with him err you, it is a proverbial slap in the face, I'm saying Polacios suxxx, lol.

oh..lol my bad. I think that's a bit harsh. Time for the Mendosa brothers Cavan, Rowdy and Lourdes to get going tonight!

Yeah, that comment above was a blanket one on basically everyone but, Vlad/Bo and Grichuk. A few bench players have done well.

[Stangstag]

I didn’t realize it was even possible to have negative wRC+

[Spanky99]

On the scale 60 is awful... Jays have been horrawful.

[Spanky99]

Game's about to start folks!

[BlueRocky]

When you create so many runs in your ABs, it’s actually helping the opposing team that you’re at the plate.

Kidding aside, it’s usually due to small sample size. But hoping he settles into league average (100) is a bit of a long shot right now given the quality of his ABs.

[Slyfisher]

Good start! Vlad's so good

[Spanky99]

Terrific start man, Lets Go Birds!

[204BJs]

Keep mashing vladdy

[Jays24]

f***....he might be out
