    If one wanted to point out the negative with Smoak I guess it'd be his .463 babip and 30% K rate.
  2. BlueJayWay
    Zaun has said that exact thing before. That OBP doesn't matter if you're not fast.

    The pen gave up one run. They had no lead to blow. It's unreasonable to expect a bullpen to never give up runs. It's hard to believe you're even being serious with this. The parts I bolded seem more to do with losing that game than the bullpen giving up one run in 3.2 innings.

    How did the pen blow it?
  5. BlueJayWay
    Which guys?

    I think they need a run of four or five warmish days to do their testing on the roof. You'd think they'd be able to start doing that any time now, but we might not have open air baseball here till the next homestand.
  7. BlueJayWay
    And just before that he misses a three run homerun by maybe a foot or two.
  8. BlueJayWay
    Just cursed.

    Speaking of the pen, there's a good article today on bluebirdbanter about it. Short version, the pen actually has fairly decent numbers overall, but just like last year, it's pitching its worst at the worst possible time. The pen has been more unclutch than outright bad. http://www.bluebirdbanter.com/2016/5/2/11564514/the-2016-bullpen-struggles-its-deja-vu-all-over-again

    Travis is at extended ST now, and then after some time I assume goes to Buffalo for a bit. How long till he's with the Jays?
  11. BlueJayWay
    It could be said the offense overachieved a little last year due to sequencing luck. I saw a stat which showed the team was near the top of the league in runs +/- based on their underlying hitting stats. And anyway a team OPS of 797 doesn't usually result in 891 runs...usually 40 or 50 runs less than that. So there may have been some luck. I don't think anyone could see this kind of drop off though. It's like half the team completely forgot how to hit over the winter.
  12. BlueJayWay
    This is not true. If you look at teams with really good offenses throughout history, they don't have a tendency to be bad in one run games. Also it's kind of funny how narratives go. I remember the 2008 Jays team which had terrific pitching, and couldn't hit. That team, as usual, was bad in one run games (24-32) and the reason people put forth was that their weak offense "always just came up short."
  13. BlueJayWay
    Honestly, I've been trying to figure this out for years. Results in one run games is supposed to be more luck than skill, which is why you can't predict how a team will do in those games...except the Jays, who've been bad for a decade and a half in them.
  14. BlueJayWay
    They're bad every year in one run games. At this point everyone expects it.

    What is Martin's swinging strike rate this year?

    I hope Travis won't have to fight his way back into the lineup over Goins.
  20. BlueJayWay
    That was ridiculous.
  21. BlueJayWay
    Not much of anything. He won't be traded at the deadline though.
  22. BlueJayWay
    Yeah I'm not too concerned about Dickey. Underlying stats seem to show he's the same guy as pretty much always. Like the last few years he'll probably improve as the year goes on. Ditto Cecil too. What's up with Storen though?
  23. BlueJayWay
    What does Howarth have to say?
  24. BlueJayWay
    Stroman has left games with 7 inherited runners this year and all 7 have scored.
  25. BlueJayWay
    Well that was certainly something.
