    Long arm action means there’s a higher risk of not repeating the arm slot and release point as consistently as shorter arm actions
  2. John_Havok
    As of May 3rd 2022, sure he has an OPS over .900. At season's end... doubtful

    Got any radio clips? We do our best scouting without video

    NIce. Dodged that bullet
  5. John_Havok
    Yeah, you just go to the main page, click on the Visuals menu then scroll down to Swing Take Visuals

    Just some info on his 2022 vs 2021 swing decisions. Looks like the only super meaningful change is the swinging rate in the chase zone is about double last year, which has already resulted in more hypothetical runs lost in a month than all of his PAs last year. Better swing rate in the heart, 50/50 split in the zone youd expect it to be, and the waste zone is about the same

    Do you even read people's posts? I said that talking to his players is his job, so how would you think I'm implying that he hasn't done so? or won't? What is clear is that any conversation he has hypothetically had, hasn't yet resulted in any positive changes.
  8. John_Havok
    Should probably consider the source of the person who made that claim. And also what he actually said, not the twisted version that you inferred
  9. John_Havok
    Then why did you use it to defend something that nobody is attacking? Strawman arguments are fun
  10. John_Havok
    spo youve gone full troll? Good to know. WAR doesnt need to quantify what it means to have a stuggling hitter where a .900 OPS hitter should be. That's not what it's for. If you want to attack something, you should probably have a basic idea of what that thing is. Otherwise you just look foolish.

    I'm sure Bo does know he needs to be better. That doesnt mean the Manager of the team can't talk to him and ask him what he can do to help get him get back on the right path. That's kind of his job? Moron
  12. John_Havok
    Yeah, the manager has not a lot to do with poor hitting by the players, but he does have the power to move a windmill like Bo out of the 2 spot at least temporarily to try and get a message through that he needs to be better. Or take him aside and try to get in his head a bit and figure out wtf the problem is. Can’t keep running a guy with Bo’s numbers in the 2 spot hitting ahead of Vlad. At this point I’d rather see Espinal hitting second and Bo hitting 6th for a day or two
  13. John_Havok
    He got rolled early on in Dunedin, and Vancouver too and made the right adjustments after a month or so at each level. That’s what they’re gonna be looking for pretty soon

    I love the deadpanned “Because he caught the ball” from Susan Waldman. That was awesome.
  15. John_Havok
    Right now, a big Jays problem is poor swing decisions. Can see hitters are trying do too much and trying to hit everything thrown their way. The entire lineup, outside of Springer, has Kevin Pillar syndrome.
  16. John_Havok
    Why? The problem is not getting runners into scoring position at all. Why give away outs to solve a problem that doesn’t exist?
  17. John_Havok
    Umm….the Jays problem is not getting runners into scoring position.
  18. John_Havok
    You gonna take a shot at explaining how to someone who probably thinks rbis and pitcher wins are relevant? Good luck bro.
  19. John_Havok
    XBA doesnt take shifting or any defensive positioning into account, just LA, EV and distance
  20. John_Havok
    I'm well aware of the general idea and times when the book says to always go left foot on the base. I just think that in some of those situations, depsite it's intent, it fails, like that time.
  21. John_Havok
    I posted it elsehwere but Bo and Tapia are in the bottom 20 players in the game on swing decisions. It's pretty gross
  22. John_Havok
    Debateable. I know in some situation like that you want to project a larger throwing target, but Vlads poretty mcuh the same width no matter which way he is facing, so RF on the bag and LF stretching for the throw makes more sense.
  23. John_Havok
    Check the replay, he had the wrong friggin foot on the bag. his left foot was on it rather than his right. Fundamental mistake
  24. John_Havok
    100% safe, beat it by a hundredth of a second or something
  25. John_Havok
    Damn. That hurts
