Just glad to see him pulling the ball again instead of slapping singles to rf
-
Yeah, it’s like 13.1

Depends how you feel about classifying Boston, the Yankees and Pittsburgh. The bag of s*** category would easily include Detroit, white Sox x 2, nationals, As and Reds. All series wins where they only lost 3 games. They swept 4 against Boston early in the season, 3 against the Pirates who had a great record at the time, won a 3 game set with the Yankees then split the 4 game series. Series losses are to Toronto, Baltimore and Houston.

Let’s all keep in mind that Orelvis is in the infancy of trying to make significant adjustments with his approach and swing, which are not easy things to do. We may want to give him more than a month into that process before making too many judgments. I’ve probably been the most vocal critic of the kid over the past few seasons too

Or with 2 outs and a pop fly falls in unexpectedly

Bo is not a below average shortstop. Bo is a below average defensive shortstop. There’s a really big distinction between those two comments. If all that mattered at SS was defense, Espinal would be playing everyday As for the rest, yeah. We can debate all day long whether player X or Y is worth whatever contract they sign, the answer is almost always no if it’s a free agent deal that pays the going rate. Usually the only deals that ever turn out to be worth it are the early extensions that get cost certainty in place and buy out a few FA years at below market rate.

True, but how many of those they let walk or traded were in their mid 20s putting up 150~ wRC+? Essentially they’ve let them go at the end of their 20s when the decline phase was in sight, or mid 30s vets still performing well just not wanting to keep paying them premiums. CHappy would be the example on the Jays roster, not Vlad or Bo this season. 1 of them walking when they hit FA would be similar to Xander leaving Boston.

Nobody celebrates mediocre ball players like Jays fans.
-
Some pretty bad approaches there by Vlad and Chapman. The entire stadium knows McHugh throws outside edge or outside …yet Vlad and CHappy both trying to pull.

Picks locked

Yeah I’d like to know what these signs of skill erosion are with Bassitt also

Oooo got the hanger but yanked it foul
-
That’ll do. Come on belt, wait for than hanging slider
-
This situation here would be a great time to push a bunt towards that massive hole between 1st and 2nd. As long as you get it past the pitcher…
-
Gonna need the grounds crew to go fix a crater near 2nd base after that “slide”
-
Great play by the D though, gotta give credit to Riley there.
-
Robbed again. Xba of .610
-
Good job getting out of it, now let’s get some sticks going against this shitballer

He put it all together one start, struck out 17 in a complete game 1 hitter, with the one hit glancing off a diving Aaron Hill’s glove with 2 outs in the 9th. Probably the single best pitching performance by a Jays pitcher ever. That was a great series overall too, they swept the Rays in the Longoria, Crawford and Zobrist days, Cecil went 7 innings of 1 run, 4 hit ball in game 1…Arencibia made his mashing debut in game 2, then Morrows historic gem in game 3 -
However they were aligned in the past, they are aligned the way they are now to try and have as close to the same kind of travel as possible. It can never be perfect of course because central teams by default will travel less miles to the west coast and less to the east coast. West teams travel the most, east the second most and central the least on average.
