McHugh looks nasty so far.

[King]

 

They have no bad hitting position players. Adames was traded because he couldn't see, Brosseau was optioned, Tsutsugo DFA'd. Pretty much everyone can hold their weight with the bat. I see a few guys that are definitely overperforming though.

[DigitalRock]

Rolling over that pitch

[King]

That's kinda my point. How a team scores like they do with all these limp noodle hitters is crazy. Yeah some are injured right now, so that's a thing, but they still keep winning.

Hurl posted a cool stat about them leading the MLB in runs 7 through 9 by a massive amount, mentioning that they might be targeting guys who can specifically hit high velo. Don't know if that's actually what they do or not, but I thought it was interesting.

Jays are good at teeing off first pitch fastball but not going to see a lot of that tonight.

Nobody said there lineup was bad. Its just when you look at their lineup nobody’s numbers really jump out at you. Just goes to show you how overrated most traditional stats are. You need to look deeper to see why the Rays are so good.

You don't need to look deep at all lol..they don't have superstars but everyone is good...it's not complicated.

I never said anyone said there lineup was bad lol. I was merely just saying they don't have any duds. That goes a long way. Meanwhile we are/were giving regular playing time to guys like Breyvic Valera and Joe Panik.

They have some stars. Cruz is one of the better hitters in the league and Wander Franco was running a 145 wRC+ since the allstar break.

Sure, both are recent additions though.

Yea must be nice not to employ negative WAR players. With all the great offensive players the Blue Jays have their is always a Goins, Panik, Valera….ect ect ect It’s actually nice having options off the bench.

Manoah's slider is crisp. That's pure filth.

Manoah is a big time talent. He’s legit as f***.

[Effit]
