How many intentional walks is Vlad going to get tomorrow? Lol

 

There is ZERO reason to pitch Vladdy.

You can put 2 on base and I rather walk Vladdy and face the guy behind him right now.

[gruber92]

Who was hitting 3 home runs in a game in 1901?

 

I'll guarantee you that two of them were inside the park.

[Jonn]

Biggio is like the perfect leadoff hitter and his career numbers represent that. But Springer wants to hit leadoff even though he’s probably better hitting second or third.

[vaff]

Who was hitting 3 home runs in a game in 1901?

 

Most likely that’s as far back as they have info for, as of now.

[Grant77]

I'll guarantee you that two of them were inside the park.

 

I checked anyone young with more than 8 home runs on the season and none of them even hit 2, so I'm not sure that their stats are correct. Vlad might be the youngest player ever to do it.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Dolis?

 

I would have went with Romano here.

Vlad Guerrero Jr. is the youngest player since at least 1901 with a 3-HR, 7-RBI game.

 

Can probably guess he's the youngest ever then since obviously no one was hitting 3 homeruns (at least while outfield fences existed) pre-1901 lol.

[DigitalRock]

Dolis? Montoyo playing 4d chess.

"Since at least 1901" just means that's as far back as they have reliable box score data, and no one in 1901 did it either.

[Jays24]

Look at that, Matz going for his 4th win in a row to start his Jays career. I don't need to know any other stat than that. Great pitcher!

Going for his 5th win in a row.

[DigitalRock]

What a game.

[Jays24]

Our bullpen man. Don't know what to say lol

[Slyfisher]

Sweet win

[Stottlemyres_Bloody_Chin]

I feel like this is a turning point in the season, kinda like 2015 game vs Scherzer where Pillar hit 2 HR and sparked a winning streak. Just got this feeling that the offense is gonna catch fire, especially with Springer and Teo about to return

[BlueRocky]

Interesting not even Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Bonds, or Ted Williams accomplished this feat. All started 19-21 years old.

[Jonn]

Crazy when it was 3-0. We thought we were all going to be talking about Trea Turner’s special night. And then Vladdy just decided to take over.

[Slyfisher]

We witnessed history tonight! Thanks Vlad!

[Deadpool]

They probably just don't have the required stats to know before 1901. It's possible that he's the youngest ever.

[Deadpool]

Vladdy with the rather pedestrian 958 wRC+ for the game...

[Orgfiller]

In the Babe's case he was a pitcher in his early years.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Let's get Stripling, Pearson, Teo and Springer back and see if we can go on a tear for a while here.

[saskjayfan]

Tyler Chatwood has been amazing this year.

[BlueRocky]

Vladdy with the rather pedestrian 958 wRC+ for the game...

 

He started with a measly 196 wRC+, it is now 229 after one game.

[gruber92]

This game is definitely a Blue Jays in 30 PVR keeper.

[Virgil_Hiltz]

Wow this has to be Scherzer’s worst start in years?

 

Worse start since he got "pillared" by Kevin!

[King]

f***

[Grant77]

This would be hard to find, but I wonder how many players have hit home runs to all fields in 3 consecutive at-bats.

[Spanky99]

Not to mention that Turner is apparently Thorton's college nemesis.

 

...

[Spanky99]

He's been making solid contact here and there lately... First AB this game was 102 off the bat... had one that was 105 last game...

 

Correct, silver linings... love LGJ
