They go to Phelps way too soon. He should be considered a late inning guy.

[Grant77]

Crazy thing is the Gurriel ball actually had an xBA of .290, and the Chapman ball had an xBA of .950.

 

Well that's strange. I'd love to see an explanation of that one.

Would you prefer Trent Thornton facing their best hitters right now?

[Jays2champs]

2 straight good throws by B

[John_Havok]

XBA doesnt take shifting or any defensive positioning into account, just LA, EV and distance

I don't mind using him to face the top of the order and going back to Thornton or Richards for the bottom half.

[Omar]

Nice catch Lourdes.

[InvincibleTiger]

If we happen to grab the lead going into the 8th/9th...who pitches with Mayza and Romano down?

[Grant77]

Yes of course. That's why it's puzzling to see a harder hit ball in the same spot have a lower xBA. Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly and they were different.

Cimber and Jimmy probably. Maybe Merryweather.

[Solaxys]

lol Tapia is just outmatched

[DigitalRock]

Tapia is bad

[el duque]

Tapia could even swing if the pitcher throws to 3rd base. I'll be happy the day the Jays get rid of him

[jaysguy44]

He's so bad, wow

[Solaxys]

Tapia/Heinemann can't get a read on Montgomery

[DigitalRock]

Tapia and hynneman real ugly..please go away.

[Effit]

Since they are black holes, can we just fire them into space please.

[DigitalRock]

You have my vote.

[DigitalRock]

Phelps is good

[Focus]

great job phelps

[Signal]

That was an easy 5 by Phelps.

[Omar]

The Silver Fox!

[Solaxys]

All right, Bo/Vlad - lets get some damage done

[Jays2champs]

Nice Bo!

[DigitalRock]

Nice Bo

[Orgfiller]

Yes of course. That's why it's puzzling to see a harder hit ball in the same spot have a lower xBA. Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly and they were different.

 

It's because Chapman's was a little looping liner which almost always goes over the defense whereas Gurriel's was a groundball.

[Orgfiller]

Loaisiga wanted no part of Vladdy after what he did to him the last time.

[DigitalRock]

They scares of vlad..need a big hit here lourdes

[el duque]

Loasica keep walking people, is good for you
