  1. Damn. Who would've thunk.
  2. We take that! Nice patience!
  3. ya no that was def a good play Edman on that. Either way, Berrios is dealing pretty well. Glad he's settling in.
  4. He has always hit it hard this season (typically); needs to tweak his launch angle again.
  5. It took 41 games to get here. Staying positive is pretty premium (And I started this season pretty optimistic - considering I was the only one who believed we can come back and win the 1st game of the season in a thread of all misery after they went up 7-0). We'll see, can always prove me wrong.
  6. I hate saying this 'cause lots of ballgame to play, but ... that's game.
  7. Orioles winning 4 - 2 against Yankees
  8. Who is this pitcher and what has he done with Berrios?
  9. Teo can't even hit fastball down the middle now. Cool.
  10. And there's the slider, and Springer Ks. Oh man.
  11. Man, Mikolas has one of the better sliders in the game and we have been seriously outclassed by them so far (except, maybe BO). I might get super triggered.
  12. Every f***ing pitch Judge hits is a HR.
  13. Matt Chapman should basically have been somewhere in the 7-9 slot of the batting order type of guy; this lineup, however, has been so thin that he can be put into spot 5. Not his fault nor the fault of what he was projected to add. That's the story of this whole season though; we're trying to identify scapegoats for something systemic. Espinal/Chapman/[Tapia/Zimmer/Gurriel] were basically your 7-8-9 and that would've been completely fine if the other 6 slots were filled/producing, which is just not happening.
  14. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-blue-jays-infield-has-yet-to-soar/ Good read regarding Chapman. TL;DR: Chapman has the major’s third-highest average exit velocity on fly balls, and he’s in the top dozen in both projected distance and xwOBA, but those shots just aren’t doing the damage that’s expected. Perhaps as temperatures rise, he’ll have better carry and better luck. Based on his EV, Launch Angle, Distance etc, his expected AVG on flyballs should be .364, expected SLG should be 1.370, xwOBA .729; he is basically a combined -0.481 on those metrics to his live stats. That doesn't obviously let him off the hook for chasing sliders in 3-2 counts in bases loaded situations, every single time he is up in such instances. Instead of playing protect the plate for fastballs and taking a walk on anything off-plate, but it is something to understand that of all the people on our team, he has been the most gibbed.
  15. Kirk should be ahead of Teo, but it is what it is. I am expecting the worst, hoping for the best with Mikolas.
  16. So what's the over/under today with STL sending their # 2 (playing like an Ace) with 1.68 ERA and hasn't given up more than 2 ER even in his losses. I feel like today might be a wash/miracle victory.
  17. Bruh, White Sox are literally Jays in another uniform, wtf is this --- Tim Anderson got his revenge; 3-run HR (HR in 18/30 ballparks)
  18. Sad the WSox are worse than Jays at scoring for their pitchers. Bases loaded - 0 outs, Double - 0 outs, no runs scored
  19. Kopech perfect through 5 against Yankees, 54 pitches
  20. Os walk off Rays again. Odor walks them off both times.
  21. Pollock hits a HR, 2 - 1 WSox. --- If Sox can outscore their mediocre pitching, they can bolster that pretty easily before deadline. Our entire offense except Espinal (and maybe Bo) is anemic, we can't bolster everyone or get this one defining piece to fix everyone. After this road trip, should Jays get cemented below .500, I might stop watching baseball all together until playoffs. Day in, day out - this team is not fun to watch, except 9th innings when we we have a lead of 1 and hoping Romano doesn't choke. Pitching is cool and all but its easy to follow on gameday and defensive highlights can be watched after game.
  22. Judge hits a no-doubter to tie the game in the 8th, 1 - 1
  23. Orioles tied the game with the Rays 6 - 6 and with 2 out in the 9th, they are calling a rain delay.
  24. The Orioles scored more runs against the Rays than we did against the Reds in their respective 3-game sets.
  25. Ait well; we either come out of this road trip unscathed or we are going to be buried under .500.
