    The technical side was lacking but the improvements on pitches down and some other things are interesting

    https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/guerrero-jr-jumpstarts-blue-jays-to-win-over-rays-as-slugger-starts-to-turn-corner/ Great article detailing some of what I have been saying for a bit lol, particularly the improvement on pitches down in the zone in the last week

    Good team win
  5. Daniel Labude
    Would have been a good spot to PH Moreno
  6. Daniel Labude
    2 runs and counting...thats an improvement
  7. Daniel Labude
    If Berrios isn't clicking at the time, Stripling is very likely to get the nod
  8. Daniel Labude
    Rasmussen is going to be very tough. He has taken a step up the last 5 starts, and the last 9 have been amazing
  9. Daniel Labude
    Might depend on team/matchup/how each are doing then
  10. Daniel Labude
    I counted the bottom middle of the kzone as well

    That's inside, chart is from the catchers view
  14. Daniel Labude
    According to what? Thats entirely inaccurate
  15. Daniel Labude
    Used the bottom middle and bottom away of the strike zone and the low and away outside of it
  16. Daniel Labude
    These paint a more accurate picture imo. 43% of pitches down and away this year vs 37% last year. 58% of pitches down this year vs 54% of pitches down last year. 23% of pitches up this year vs 29% last year

    Theoretically lol. Could take a month or a week or so...or not until the offseason to get dialed back in. #1 though he needs to get back to the approach from last season. Attack fastballs and take walks while punishing mistakes. At this stage of the season thats a tough adjustment to make
  18. Daniel Labude
    Closer to the plate than last season- was to focus on more outside pitches but keeps getting jammed inside Closed start with his lead foot compared to last season. Kind of a cross body swing vs an open one Closed step compared to last season. Same issues above Bat angle dipping before the swing vs vertical last season leading to decreased launch angle, especially on lower pitches Load elongated (too early and extended) compared to last season causing him to be late and off balanced In the last week he has opened his stance, stepped off the plate, adjusted the bat angle before the swing and attempting to be more smooth and quick with the toe tap. Nothing wrong with the swing, but little things innthe set up causing some issues, along with patience needed to get a good pitch
  19. Daniel Labude
    Correct...35 less walks than last season is a big part

    Definitely. In reality its probably some combo of being pitched tougher and differently, trying too much, being tough on himself, swing adjustments, approach, and confidence
  22. Daniel Labude
    Vlad's season high is Judge's season low of pitches in the strike zone with a 10-20% gap much of the season. So over any given stretch Judge was routinely getting significantly more pitches in the zone. Part is Vlad trying to do to much, but they are being pitched differently and ultimately tougher on Vlad
  23. Daniel Labude
    How he is pitched in those situations have changed to the most extreme in baseball....minimal strikes basically or perfect pitchers pitches all low or away, meanwhile Judge will get a grooved in cookie over and over lmao. Everyone looks at results and never considers how insane Vlad is being pitched vs last season, yeah he needs to walk more to change it, but the hitters behind him fail at an asinine rate. Being 23 and a top hitter he tries to do it himself more than he should. Will take experience and adjustments...and a team succeeding behind him. Too many people want everything now now now lol
  24. Daniel Labude
    Amazing game from Manoah given the circumstances. Offense came around finally, sparked by Vlad. Hopefully we keep it going vs 2 top pitchers
  25. Daniel Labude
    Id thought they would move White up to Game 1
