GDT - LA Dodgers @ Toronto Blue Jays (3/3) 1:37pm ET

[Jays24]

Babe has been playing some very average/passable left field. He doesn't have great range but he's making the catches on the balls he gets to.

 

I haven't noticed his arm strength and accuracy... how's that?

[Jays24]

This is the best Kirk has looked all year.. LOVE IT!

[max silver]

Kirky looks like he's heating up at the plate.

[max silver]

I haven't noticed his arm strength and accuracy... how's that?

 

The accuracy is decent but he has like a 30 grade arm.

[Jays24]

Would have pinch hit for Biggio there

Babe has been playing some very average/passable left field. He doesn't have great range but he's making the catches on the balls he gets to.

 

He actually is pretty athletic IMO but he has a weird body type which limits it. Short legs, long torso and overall a little bit stiff. But he's more athletic than he looks and he has good baseball instincts so his defense and base running play up. I think his arm is pretty bad. At 2B it's fine but it looks pretty bad from the OF.

[Terminator]

It's time to stop playing Biggio every day.

 

His numbers are free falling as his BABIP normalizes.

 

You can't tell me he's better than Schneider, IKF or Clement.

[hanton]

might see Joe Kelly and his heat next

[Masterbather]

Was hoping for some combo of Yimi and Gausman to finish this thing.

He's been able to maximize his modest physical tools to become a solid well rounded player. It's too bad a certain other member of the team has gone in the opposite direction.

Wicked Garcia breaking pitch there....

[hanton]

come on it's barnes

[PhillyBlueJay]

Not to be critical…

 

But tell me how the f*** Vladdy can hit every ball off the plate causing pop-ups but anything right down the middle he swings through it?!

 

He is not seeing the ball just watch how he positions himself just before the pitch comes then he slightly shifts his body inwards at last minute to get himself in position to swing.

 

That right there is the timing issue! You don’t move your body into position as the ball is coming, you put your body in position prior to see and generate the swing.

 

That one slight adjustment movement is killing his timing cause he is unknowing adjusting his batting stance based on the pitch coming to him hence no consistency and unable to generate bat-to-ball contact!

 

Just watch next at bat for Vladdy on how he slightky moves his body at last second to adjust his swing each pitch differently.

 

He is not “Square” at the plate! When he is in homerun derby mode he does not do that he is square. So tells me it is a bad hitting habit and he is to open up as the pitcher winds up so he can better see the pitcher I’m thinking, but his motion to adjust is never timed perfectly on a continuous basis and why his swing is sporadic all over the place.

 

He is NOT hitting the ball square and generating bat-to-ball in a smooth motion.

[Terminator]

Not liking the start of this inning....

[Kordesi]

Just starting to watch. Come on Garcia!

[Terminator]

Walking Barnes is just inexcusable

[hanton]

FFS you walked the worst hitter in this game

[Omar]

Troubles...

[G-Snarls]

Once again the most critical point of the game is coming up in the 8th inning not the 9th

[hanton]

It's not unconventional ...wtf are the talking about

[el duque]

Mr Blow is coming

[Carlos Danger]

Muncy is clutch… Not a good feeling..

[Masterbather]

I hate this move. Hopefully it works out.

[glory]

I'd much rather have Jimi face Muncy than the 2024 version of Mayza.

[Jays24]

Omg you f***ing idiot... you don't take out your best reliever by far for Tim f***ing Mayza regardless of how this goes.

[Omar]

ngl, I'm terrified of Mayza coming in here. Let's hope.

[gruber92]

I think Yimi should have stayed in the game. He just started cooking, JS is lost.

[hanton]

Muncy is still good vs lefties but it's the right call

[G-Snarls]

Sportsnet app is driving me nuts today

 

Crashes every few minutes

[saskjayfan]

I hate this move. Hopefully it works out.

 

I agree. Should have left garcia in.
