That was a dirty pitch to K Biggio.

[Slyfisher]

Springer's starting to heat up! Love it

[Spanky99]

Espinal, attaboy!

[Slyfisher]

Espinal is becoming a good hitter

[Deadpool]

Espinal is just so much better than Panik. Thanks Shatkins for removing that tumour from the team.

[Daniel Labude]

You haven't noticed the major improvement in McGuire's game calling now that he's playing more and being more familiar with all the pitchers? If McGuire was given the same amount of rope that Jansen was given, there wouldn't even be a conversation. The only defensive aspect that Jansen is better at as of now is blocking.

 

Is it better yeah, is it equal to Jansen, not even close. It was single A equivalent for a for weeks, thats how bad his game calling was

[JaysAllMighty]

Nice play Espinal

[Deadpool]

f*** Espinal is so good in the field.

[Slyfisher]

Espy making it look easy

[Sammy225]

Espy making it look easy

 

Hard to imagine wanting panick over him

I think it's way too premature to say that McGuire's pitch calling is not even close to Jansen's. Jansen should be a better pitch caller by default given the time he's had to become familiar with all the hitters around the league.

[JFD]

Tabler is worse than those youtube clowns. Always f***ing talking when the pitch is thrown.

We aren't running with McGuire as the starter for multiple years. Our depth at C is too deep with better options going forward. He is providing an immediate help by playing ok defense, ok game calling, and solid offensively for catcher. Remove the offense and by default he will be passed by Jansen or Kirk

[JFD]

fail

[Effit]

Of course

[JFD]

Gurriel is so f***ing awkward

[Deadpool]

Damn, close... would have been a great catch if he made that, so can't really BLAME him, but would be nice if he makes that play.

[spats]

I hate these close games. The Jays usually blow these. Surprise me please...just can't seem to get over the hump.

[Spanky99]

Eat that ball, Cavan.

[G-Snarls]

Dumb throw

"If" you remove McGuire's offense? That's like what "if" Jansen's defense declines, what do you got? Obviously both of them are behind Kirk and Moreno will be here soon.

[gruber92]

Man, Cavan sure didn't inherit his dad's defensive abilities.

[G-Snarls]

Deadly curveball to get Teo

[Deadpool]

"It's a very liberal strike zone" is code for "this ump f***ing sucks balls"

[connorp]

"It's a very liberal strike zone" is code for "this ump f***ing sucks balls"

 

Basically. But he’s calling it both ways at least

[G-Snarls]

FU Zunino

[Deadpool]

This dude takes the "umpire with a ludicrous strike 3 call" think to the opposite extreme. I don't like either end of the spectrum. Should be a different call from strike 1 and 2, but not some ridiculous Naked Gun s*** either.

[Daniel Labude]

You do know this started with me saying Jansen will get playing time if McGuire's bat cools lol. As long as he is hitting he will be the starter. I dont think anyone expects it to continue long, but it may. Catcher defense and game calling doesn't decline like a wild card hitter on a hot streak

[InvincibleTiger]

Let's get Stripling some runs.

[G-Snarls]

Phew!
