Blue Jays win! All of Canada wins! On the eve of what will be an epic run for Team Canada to try and qualify for the World Cup Sportsnet comes to an agreement with one soccer to show the games. All you guys can tune in and watch tomorrow at 6 pm!

[G-Snarls]

Yeah, it's a W! Lets f*** up the A's this weekend.

 

That would really change the playoff picture/odds

 

Especially if the Yankees stumble a bit too

Guys, we barely beat the O's.

 

Yeah it's great to get wins but the boys struggled to beat the O's and Tigers in successive series. The offence needs to start pulling it's weight soon if there is to be any chance whatsoever of going on a run.

Well at least Vladdy looks like he’s about to go on a tear...

He's already in the midst of one. He has a WRC+ of 207 for the last 7 games excluding tonight. I read plenty of postulations that he was regaining weight and that was why he was struggling, and it was also suggested that his numbers were mostly the creation of playing in minor league parks and that he couldn't hit at Rogers Center. That nonsense can be flushed down the toilet where it belongs.

Consistent 115MPH+ exit velocities aren't the product of minor league parks.

I haven't seen the park factors for Buffalo or Dunedin, however the dimensions are pretty standard. In fact I believe Buffalo has the same dimensions as Jacobs Field or whatever it's called in Cleveland (it was designed to be the same when Buffalo was Clevelands farm team).

 

Dunnedin was traditionally known as a tough place to hit for minor leaguers.

If you cherry pick August 3rd to August 29th, that is about 25 game stretch where he slugged .330 and had a crazy ground ball rate.

 

At this point if you believe in streaky players, you have to lump Vlad in with Randall... as he deviates from his average just as much if not more.

Lol dude. A 3 week slump does not equal Randall’s 3 month slump

[Spanky99]

I believe it was good Randal for 10 weeks, and now bad Randal for 10 weeks... Ughh... Good Randal for the next 4 weeks would be nice, lol.

That's not that point... Vlad or Juan or Soto or anybody varies just as much as Randall. At this point in his life Randal is a .230 hitter and his bad months are .170... his bad 3 months are .200... you notice it more than if Vlad or Juan Soto hit .260 without power for 2 months.
