    I don't disagree. Varsho is a dead pull hitter and it's like the Jays want him going the other way all the time which he is terrible at. Usually ends up with soft flies and pop ups
  2. John_Havok
    100% this

    You can't slap singles against good pitching consistently, so taking a pull- centric approach makes sense to maximize damage if you do make contact. If anything the hitting coaches are preaching the slap happy up the middle or other way philosophy
  4. John_Havok
    Boring yes. Mediocre no.
  5. John_Havok
    Yeah I don't get that logic either. Just because you make contact doesn't mean it will be good contact. High contact low walk guys are just babip fluctuation value guys from week to week

    There's not many 1-2 combos on the level of Cole and King.

    Not even meaning to take away from the Jays poor performance overall, but who knows what could have happened if Vlad gets that walk instead of being wrung up with the bases loaded. What’s interesting to me is that umpires get feedback after every game which shows their missed calls and attempts to quantify the factors that led to that missed call. I’m wondering why someone from MLB can’t run out there between innings with an iPad and just point out the misses so the ump can attempt to improve for the remainder of the game. Would that be so terrible?

    The amount of negativity right now in this thread means back to back HRs are about to happen
  9. John_Havok
    Yeah, f*** those two gold medals at the Olympics. Total choker for sure

    Pitching was not the problem in the game. 2 hits was the problem.
  11. John_Havok
    It’s an easy system, if the pitcher gives up runs, Schneider was wrong to put him in. Please keep up.
  12. John_Havok
    Lol, because of course that just happened

    No i was upset that it smelled like a giant bowl of urine. Seats are wrought iron crap from the 20s that arent pointed towards the play, uncomfortable as f*** with terrible sightlines. THe worst part was the urine smell though. All Fenway has is the monster, and history. THat's not enough for me to enjoy a game viewing experience in person.
  14. John_Havok
    I loved Boston as a city when I was there, even getting to Fenway on the train and walking to the park was fantastic. Once inside, the experience went from A+ to complete dog s***. Fenway is a giant urine stain

    Putting together a good front office means a whole lot of nothing when you’re not willing to sign cheques. …..without big changes, the only way the team could retain its core of young stars would be to raise prices, "dramatically." - Angelos. Really sounds like a guy willing to drop 30 million on one player when he’s already priming the fan base to say good bye to his current crop of studs?
  16. John_Havok
    Or, it was the plan all along to go balls out for one year and trade Soto after 2023 regardless of the results to reload the farm. It’s not like they could really foresee being under .500, and they probably really shouldn’t be that bad. They likely just got every bad coin flip result they could get this season.
  17. John_Havok
    ROFL at the notion of Angelos green lighting a trade for someone who’s gonna make near 30 million next season.
  18. John_Havok
    Kinda all points to a Soto trade doesn’t it. It would make the most sense if the directive is to get down to around 200 million, though I doubt the directive is truly that low. It’s probably more like, get under the 1st luxury tax threshold Soto would be an interesting get for LF. Preller wouldn’t have much leverage to ask for multiple premium prospects or anything since they wouldn’t want to retain any money.
  19. John_Havok
    Well…..no. They’re actually underperforming their run diff by a few games, but they’re within the error bars. They’re right about where they should be.
  20. John_Havok
    Sam Diego is not a bad team. Bad teams don’t outscore their opponents by nearly 100 runs over the course of the season. Run diff for them is up to 91.
  21. John_Havok
    Fangraphs splits, sort by season and scroll down. Is it a coincidence that Vlad recent power surge coincides with a near 60% pull rate in September? and he now has his season fly ball pull rate up to 25% when it was down near 16% at some point in August? Pulled ground ball rate now down to 55% on the season when it was over 65% not that long ago. I recall seeing 65% on the ground and 16% in the air to the pull side at some point in August. Seems Vlad has made a change to actively try pulling again
  22. John_Havok
    Houston up early on Seattle, 3-0
  23. John_Havok
    Pretty much, I’m guessing he goes to the highest ranked team (in his estimation) willing to offer a major league deal since they’ll be for the same amount of money.
  24. John_Havok
    Soto trade imminent in the off-season then?
  25. John_Havok
    Clement is a much lighter hitting version of Bichette. Both are hackers with incredible bat to ball skills that makes them swing at more pitches than they should, but Bo has 25+ HR pop, I very much doubt Clement does. Clements entire offensive value will tied the babip gods. He also has defensive flexibility in his favour. He can replace Espinal any day as far as my opinion goes. Clement can do Espinal’s job for league minimum rather than the 3 million or so that he’s in line for.
