    Bassitt blew tonight. No way to sugarcoat it
  2. John_Havok
    I think it it was the one guy on the roster im okay with him sending in that scenario. Recall the 2 or 3 hopper Carter threw in earlier when Schneider scored. That probably played into it as well.

    Bassist issue tonight is he can’t get anything going in the strike zone. No swing and miss in the zone and Texas can just spit on all the nibble no pitches and wait
  4. John_Havok
    It’s incredibly lucky he hasn’t given up 5 or more. If he can somehow get through 6 having only given up 3…there’s still a chance
  5. John_Havok
    Sure seems that way. A guy who tops out at 92 isn’t going to live on his fastball. Just sit soft and adjust. Simple thought process.
  6. John_Havok
    Lol @Vlad just up there guessing. He’s not gonna see a fastball from Dunning so not sure why he can’t just sit soft.
  7. John_Havok
    Nah, Kiermaier speed vs a rookie you’ve already seen throw a pumpkin a few innings earlier? Good send, just didn’t work out. I think he was safe they just didn’t have an angle to truly show it.

    Dang too bad Bassitt couldn’t sit Seager down, Biggio saved them a run though
  9. John_Havok
    Holy s*** Biggio that was f***ing brilliant
  10. John_Havok
    s***** luck there, would been a double play…
  11. John_Havok
    Really don’t get why the Jays suck so bad against shitballing soft tossers.
  12. John_Havok
    I dunno, I don’t really see the Natural as a “baseball movie” the same way as say Bull Durham is a baseball movie. The Natural is more like a Roy Hobbs story and baseball is the backdrop. In Bull Durham, baseball is the story with characters like Crash, Nuke, the manager and others there to bring the struggles of the minor leagues to life.

    And another bad PA from Belt. If ya can’t even make contact on 91 down the middle it’s gonna be a long night.
  14. John_Havok
    Texas is gonna murder Bassitt, it’s just not a good matchup for him
  15. John_Havok
    If you know it’s Kirk running, you don’t really need the next part. He can’t score from 2nd on a single unless it’s somewhat of a gapper that gets cut off and momentum prevents the fielder from getting a good throw, or it’s one of those Vladdy specials.

    Someone sucked you off and then you bought a Bo jersey? Not the weirdest payment I've ever heard
  17. John_Havok
    True, I just meant specific to Southern Alberta where it's gone from virtually nothing to having 2 pretty decent collegiate level leagues in the last 25~ years
  18. John_Havok
    But but but..Manfred is evil and stuff .. he's ruining baseball because reasons!
  19. John_Havok
    Thanks for that. The amateur ball around here has taken massive leaps in the last 20 years
  20. John_Havok
    Jays SP as a group 1st in ERA 4th in IP 7th in FIP and xFIP 5th in k rate All including Manoah pitching like Spanky.
  21. John_Havok
    Why is it crazy? When you suck for years, your first pick is top 1 or two for a few of them AND you get all the bonus picks from being a small market, you're bound to hit a bingo at some point paying nearly your entire meaningful roster league minimum. Couple that with cheap owners having Chris Davis contract nightmares and you end up with your highest paid player being Kyle Gibson
  22. John_Havok
    Was just watching the game replay and holy f*** that rant can be summarized in about 4 words..."get off my lawn"
  23. John_Havok
    But, to be fair, if every baseball players future was easily predicted by their first ~80 PAs, there would be a ton of different names in the MLB history books and many that wouldn't be there at all.
  24. John_Havok
    Quite the contrary, I find it rather uplifting
  25. John_Havok
    Schneider does have a good approach. But he also does have a high whiff rate and K rate. It’s fine as is as long as he keeps hitting for power though
