Yup, 3

Yup, posted the savant pic above. That strike call that looked super low to Jung was also a strike. Barely…but it was.
-
It was a strike, the TV zone is decidedly terrible this season for showing the top and bottom of the zone properly
-
Confused by Chapman approach here, he let the outer half pitch go, then the inner half pitch go….what’s he looking for?
-
Sure, but in general, extending catchers isn’t a great bet. It’s not like Jansen is the pinnacle of health
-
Swanson warming up to follow Gausman again, they must have some data that makes them believe Swanson’s stuff plays up when doing this.
-
So bad…
-
Rangers are sitting offspeed, crank up that 96-98 heater
-
Apparently, that one side view of him revealed a massive problem. He starts with his hands up and cocaine, then when he starts his leg movement the hands come down and slightly forward, then back again before they go forward. That’s a clusterf*** of hand movements destined to make you late and out of sync with the lower half
-
Astute observations by Siddall on Vlads hands. I wonder why the hitting coach hasn’t fixed that obvious flaw yet
-
Bo has such an excellent approach right now, it’s astonishing that pitchers don’t walk him more rather than watch him pound doubles the other way
-
No it doesn’t make sense except to those who like keeping easily correctable human errors in games. The rule should be written so that if anything goes to review on a force play like this, they should only care about 1 thing and that’s if he’s definitively out. If they can’t make that call, he should be ruled safe.
-
Welcome to the point. A simple tweaking of the rule would remove these incorrect calls.
-
Anyone here been to this park? Looks pretty nice
-
Was a good challenge, he was safe, but they just couldn’t call it correctly
-
Heh, Jansen HR and no picks. Jansen going on a massive heater for the next few weeks, book it
-
He was safe, but because of the stupid way the rule is written can’t be overturned. Had they called him safe, it would have stood also…

He did get ripped off. Saw a ball flight tracker that put that ball about 3 feet inside the fair pole.
-
He whiffs more than Bo, so that's probably a bit of the problem. Also doesnt seem to spray the ball like Bo, mostly pulling. Avg EV is 65th percentile, bo's is 85th... though their max EV is about the same. Hard hit rate is lower but still above average. The numbers certinaly suggests there's more to his bat than current results indicate. However.... -9 Run value against 4 seam fastballs, Bo's is +9. Looks like he has a problem with the heaters.
-
That is very likely true, but.... itdoesn't mean the best can't resurface if he can remove his head from his ass.
-
No kidding, it's like, what does it tell Lukes about how the Jays view him when he's been up for this long, saw other players with multiple injuries and IL stints while here, and still has only started 3 games, and been used nearly always as a pinch runner in blowouts. 19 PAs in 23 games that he's been in.

I could incite another riot if you want… -
That’s what we need, a 5’9 1B…heh. He plays 2b/LF as far as I know, must just be a one off kinda thing.
