Hot because he's had one good game recently before tonight's game? Lol

 

Yes, as if you have some specific definition for ‘hot’, dumbass

Whit needs to chill on the idiotic outs man. Our offense is on a roll so there's no reason for u to try a steal on a 3-0 count...

Well that’s good to know, Jackson Holliday will be a flop then.

 

There is a difference between saying that someone will flop and that they don't have the same hunger as an athlete that is trying to escape poverty.

 

And of course there are exceptions, but I've seen little to indicate Vlad is one.

not sure of the numbers, but from a blind eye this seems to be one of the worst base running teams I can remember. they have made so many dumb outs this year

this is on Merrifield though - he's an aggressive baserunner and it's what makes him so dangerous on the basepaths, little to do with the Jays

Whit shouldn't be making these mistakes though man. He's turning like 35 and is a vet in the game. Our offense sucks enough without us giving the other team free outs lol.

No reason to be running there. Use your head.

I kind of understand the logic. In a 3-0 count one of three things would happen.

 

1. Varsho takes a walk, and Whit is back at 2nd

2. Varsho hits it and he will score on a single

3. Varsho fouls it and he's back at 2nd

 

It just sucks that Whit mistimed it and got picked off by the pitcher instead.

Somewhat logical, poorly executed.

That’s not what you said. You made a blanket statement that “ Athletes that come from money like Vlad don't have that kind of hunger.”

 

Jackson Holliday is an athlete that came from money, so it is your contention that he, by your definition, will not have that hunger either. That’s good to know

This is a weird way to think about players, just enjoy the baseball game.

Sorry but whit does not get to go back to 2B on a steal attempt to 3B.

 

It's an idiotic move when a team has strung a bunch of hits together. It only makes sense when the offense is struggling, which is usually the case but not there.

This is why numbers and stats are made available though, to make sure reality matches the eye test, which is very unreliable.

 

Overall, the Jays are much better on the bases than last season. Vlad, Kirk and Belt are the culprits of dragging down the team metrics to where they are, but still much better than last season.
