GDT - Game #4 - March 31 1:40 ET - Jays @ Rays

[bones10]

Biggio's been good this series, IDK man, it's not his fault.

 

I'm always a Biggio supporter but hes just been bumming around too long on this team, Clement Schneider should get a shot. Idk maybe theres a way he still has roll but the roster construction this year is weird.

[Spanky99]

To be fair, it's not just this message board. Our offense is being mentioned by the entire baseball world. Otherwise we'd be near World Series favourties when combined with our pitching and defense.

 

lol

[Jays24]

I’m sure he’ll sleep at night.

 

But I won't lol

[L54]

Clement is our Chris Taylor - an extremely valuable player to have on the roster

 

Oooo nice comp

[Rimar]

Ham Schneider did it again, I doubt Gaussman will be happy with the decision 😄

[Jays24]

lol

 

Always love the great contribution to the discussion Spanky lol

[Masterbather]

Nice to see that start from the Ace.

[Omar]

When was the last time Nate hit triple digits? A thing of the past.

This. We've seen enough

Don't think that's been the issue with the guy... controlling his stuff is what I'd care about.

[L54]

Team has scored 18 runs in 3.5 games at the Trop even though Bo apparently missed the plane, all to incessant BJMB screeching about how bad the offense is.

 

Context matters

 

Two homers off of a lefty who was worth negative WAR over 100 innings last year third time through the order

[hanton]

2nd last pitch to Caballero was a wicked slider.

Never said it was an issue.

He probably still can he just knows now he has no chance of commanding it. 100 is useless unless you can throw it for strikes.

I mean it’s pretty disappointing when his whole calling card as a starting pitching prospect was an indisputable 80 grade fastball. For him to sit 96 as a reliever is a bummer, his fastball should be an overpowering pitch and his poor command is not the only reason it isn’t.

Most lineups will involve IKF, KK, Biggio and Varsho. By AL East standards, it'll be a struggle on many days. Against lefties they might be pretty good though.

[TradeBichette]

Ernie needs to start at short every game.

 

How do people not see the night and day difference of having a Major League player there???

This^^^^^^^

[Jays24]

My bad... and I was pretty sure he hit triple digits a few times last year. Think he even gave up a few Homers off those pitches because of how straight his fastballs were.

[Spanky99]

Who in the baseball world think that? Projections have the Jays as a contender, sir. Get in and win.

Are you seriously saying you havent heard the national and local media question our offense?

 

The reason we're projected to make one of the last wild card spots is because of our starting pitching, bullpen and defense. The conversation was about why people are crapping on the offensive potential when the answer is pretty clear lol.

[Orgfiller]

Lots of 94s from White, where’s the velo we saw in Spring?

[Angrioter]

White look like garbage

[Omar]

Biggio like a magnet out there for the ball.

[Jays24]

Can we safely assume that the cycle is out of the question for Turner? Getting that triple would have to involve some level of little league defense lol.

Yeah the best chance is a missed diving catch by the CF with the ball rolling to the wall.

[Jonn]

5.77 ERA is pitching well in Japan lol. Maybe stats work differently there.

One thing we don't wanna question about Asians is their understanding of numbers. Clearly it would be our mistake if there were any concerns there lol.

I am wrong. Wasn’t third time through the order

Yeah, he was hitting triple digits this spring.
