    And thanks to Houston for beating Seattle. Game got a bit heated when Neris struck out Julio, then started walking towards him and yelling at him for some reason. No punches thrown but everyone was on the field. Neris was being weird

    Really makes beating Glasnow a few days ago that much bigger.

    Astros up 4-1 on Seattle.....and now 4-3. LOL at the perfect timing of this post. Im gonna stop scoreboard watching now

    And truthfully, it's not a bad skill to have. in certain situations with defenses lined up certain ways, and pitchers being able to hit their spots consistently, sure, a two strike approach that looks oppo isnt bad, but it simply cannot be the primary goal of a lineup the majority of the time, which certainly seems to be the approach being preached by the Jays hitting instruction team. A pull heavy approach for nearly every hitter on the team just makes sense. Now that doesnt mean you go up looking to pull literally every pitch, you still have to be willing to take pitches and some strikes to get the one you want to let rip, and no, you wont be successful every time, but when you are successful, you do damage. creating runs wins games, and the most efficient way to create runs is pulling the ball with power.

    That's not balls, that's coward s***.
  6. John_Havok
    Ah gotcha. Yeah,this team is boring as hell to watch that's for sure.
  7. John_Havok
    It's not Chappys decision whether to cut that ball or not, it's the catcher who calls whether it's to be cut

    Two deep fly outs that were up the middle and away. Imagine if they pulled those rather than thinking middle away. You have 2 flaws in your process here. you somehow think they have a pull approach when they don't and you think that's why they can't hit consistently. Both of those assumptions are wrong.

    Would be interesting to see if they've faced a disproportionate number of 1 and 2 starters at home vs the road.
  10. John_Havok
    That's fine..it's okay to be completely wrong. No laws against it
  11. John_Havok
    Wonder why Kirk called for that ball to be cut, looked like they had Judge to me
  12. John_Havok
    One of the few times I agree with Buck, just put him on and don't waste the pitches then.
  13. John_Havok
    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
  14. John_Havok
    100% this
  15. John_Havok
    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
  16. John_Havok
    Boring yes. Mediocre no.
  17. 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
  18. John_Havok
    There's not many 1-2 combos on the level of Cole and King.
  19. John_Havok
    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
  21. John_Havok
    Yeah, f*** those two gold medals at the Olympics. Total choker for sure
  22. John_Havok
    Pitching was not the problem in the game. 2 hits was the problem.
  23. John_Havok
    It’s an easy system, if the pitcher gives up runs, Schneider was wrong to put him in. Please keep up.
  24. John_Havok
    Lol, because of course that just happened
  25. John_Havok
    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.
