Kikuchi vs Snell

 

Always enjoy watching games at Oracle Park

 

 

 

[Masterbather]

I can hear my echo in here.

[Spanky99]

Koooooch!

[Stangstag]

Goddamn Kikuchi pumping up his trade stock?? Keep it rolling dude

[Spanky99]

This game is flying by, hah!

[5ToolPhenom]

This offense is unwatchable... Just awful.

[5ToolPhenom]

Can we punt Varsho to the sun already? Why is this guy still getting at bats?

[5ToolPhenom]

This team's embarrassing.

[G-Snarls]

This offense is unwatchable... Just awful.

 

It's the reason I'm not watching

[5ToolPhenom]

It's the reason I'm not watching

 

I bet Jays first 5 ML because I expected Kuch would have a decent outing. Snell's been a dumpster fire and as much as the Jays suck, it thought they'd show up for a couple runs...Big mistake.

[Omar]

Let's Go Jays.

 

Bo's ab are terrible.

[hanton]

Can we punt Varsho to the sun already? Why is this guy still getting at bats?

 

he would be perfectly fine as a starting CF with 2 corner bats on a competitive team, I guess he's basically Pillar (the Jays version) - making highlight reel catches, no bat

[Stangstag]

Yeah at this point he’s basically Pillar with less contact and more pop. That’s fine in CF but doesn’t really play in a corner spot. Front office is dumb for bringing back KK

[Stangstag]

The Kooch is nasty tonight

[hanton]

The Kooch is nasty tonight

 

I just tuned in....11Ks!. That is crazy

[Jays24]

The Jays pinch hit for the only guy on the team who has a hit?

 

Yup, that's why I've stopped watching this s*** show. f***ing idiots from top to bottom man.

[hanton]

Horwitz has a bat.

[Spanky99]

Horwitz on a crazy stretch.

[Stangstag]

Great swing from Horwitz

[Jays24]

Horwitz has a bat.

 

Don't worry, they took him outta the game already lol

[Masterbather]

Hangy and bangy!

[Jays24]

Ernieeeeeeee

[Spanky99]

Ernie Bomb!

[Stangstag]

Holy s*** haha!! Take it away Ern

It's honestly very damning indictment of the front office that they got something that simple incorrect. First everyone obviously knows that CF would be a more valuable spot for an elite defender like Varsho. Second he had just come off of a bad offensive year and generally his underlying numbers seems to indicate he would probably be at least a slightly below average bat, so again better in CF than the corner. Third that KK was going to be 34 and had just given you his best hitting season in half a decade. Fourth that this team had taken a step back offensively and it was probably better to aim for some additional offense. Fifth why would we have traded our best prospect if we were going to waste the return for that prospect at a position he'd be less valuable in? That would be ridiculous.

 

Instead they resigned the 34 year old CF who has predictably cratered as a hitter, their corner OF's value is being wasted there and his bat is now potentially even worse if the underlying numbers are correct. Just a real bad sign for the FO.

[Omar]

Clement you haterz!

[Jaysareus]

Just tuned in why did they take Horwitz out?

[hanton]

Don't worry, they took him outta the game already lol

 

it is very strange how they handle Horwitz, Schneider and Clement. It's like they like them until they don't - then they see the bench. KK should not start again - he's been starting quite a bit lately maybe they are showcasing him for a deal. Kinda sad that he's taking away valuable playing time from others

[Omar]

D and vetrin presents.

[Omar]

Kuch likes the left coast.
