[M.E.]

Big crooked here please

[BlueJays]

Of course. f*** Mountcastle

[Omar]

Fluke.

[Stangstag]

Lol the duality of good luck/bad luck this inning

[Daniel Labude]

The double play Jays

[jaysthebest]

0-3 with risp already?

[Spanky99]

Jays luck this season right there in a nutshell.

[Delgalladay]

Just when you think they’ve run out of ways to not score with a runner on 3rd & less than 2 outs…

[jaysguy44]

Terrible luck

[Stangstag]

Jays luck this season right there in a nutshell.

 

Really can’t complain about bad luck there when the previous 2 hits were flukes

[jaysthebest]

This team always finds a way to not score with risp.

[JFD]

Varshow is a much better nickname

[G-Snarls]

Kikuchi is on some kind of roll

[Laika]

Really can’t complain about bad luck there when the previous 2 hits were flukes

 

Yeah

[jaysblue]

Glad to see Varsho starting to heat up at the plate. The Jays really need his bat down the stretch!

[goldbug103]

Vladdy needs to be moved down to 7th in batting order. Without sitting him it still sends a message and keep him there until he gets hot! He needs to understand the strike zone and situational hitting.

 

He is not hurt he just feels he can hit everything with power, he is not keeping his mindset of only swinging at balls in the strike zone.

 

First 2 seasons they league was figuring him out and he had good protection hitting behind him. Last two years the league figured him out to throne junk left and right of strike zone he will swing regardless and will not have impactful damage. Factor in Chapman being below replacement level player since May 15 with the bat, Vladdy becomes no threat at all at the plate!

 

I would try him at top of the lineup or 9th. Better yet just part ways with Fatty and trade him for pitching support. Another team might be enticed based on his minor league numbers and winning the derby. Hirwitz can come up and perform at a better ops.

Oh yeah? Watch me

For those not watching on TV to see the graphic

 

MLB rank hitting with RSIP

 

Orioles 3rd

 

Jays 25th

[jaysblue]

Kikuchi is on some kind of roll

 

He looked good in the 2nd inning.

 

Imagine where this team would be without Kikuchi this season. He's really stepped up and has been a huge piece to the rotation. I know he sucked a lot last year but kudos to Atkins. Hope we get this Kikuchi again in 2024!

[Stangstag]

Lol Bo scared me a bit there

It's going to be worse in ops with risp.

[jaysthebest]

Guerrero's power is disappeared. He swings at the first pitch every time.

[gruber92]

Vladdy spraying pitches that should be destroyed is worrisome.

[goldbug103]

Fatty also misses mistake pitches in the middle of the zone which is terribly painful to watch.

[Daniel Labude]

Was Mullins playing at the fence lol

[G-Snarls]

He looked good in the 2nd inning.

Yeah

 

Without good Kikuchi they prob keep Manoah longer OR Mitch White gets a bunch of starts. Both are horrifying thoughts.

[Stangstag]

Vladdy spraying pitches that should be destroyed is worrisome.

 

With nobody on base too. Dude is f***ing dumb

[Spanky99]

It’ll even out! Just wait! Just wait…

 

So you seriously think it's a skillset? lol
