I mean arguably this is what allows him to have a good inning or two after every other blow up. Being emotionless is usually regarded as a positive trait for a pitcher since there’s a lot in the field that they have no control over after the pitch is released. He might just be as bewildered as everyone is that he’s blowing chunks given his track record and that the stuff is still good. -
The most frustrating part of the outing is that aside from blowing up, it came in spurts every other inning. First inning hot garbage, second inning unhittable, third inning shaky but decent, fourth inning blows up again, 5th inning unhittable. The command just blows up every other inning out of nowhere and he becomes batting practice, but the stuff never suffers.
-
Yup, 5 runs and the ABs have been pretty competitive from about the 3-4th inning onwards, but Berrios blew up to such an extent that they never had a chance to even get back into it.
-
Nice Bo, he’s had a great game. Two crushed balls and another decent AB.
-
His career 100 wRC+ has come in his ages 23-25 seasons. 111 against RHP btw. Ever heard of projecting a young hitter with good pedigree to get better? Or do you only save that for players drafted by the Blue Jays?
-
So you don’t think that a young hitter who showed good power last year, did very well in the minors, and has been steadily improving each season, isn’t capable of improving further to expect him to be a good enough presence at the top of the lineup, particularly against RHP against whom he’s already showed early success against?
-
I have actually. Unlike you I actually try to make informed takes as opposed to knee jerk reactions based on small sample size eye test scouting.
-
Teo isn’t exactly lighting it up for Seattle at the moment lol. At least when Varsho is struggling at the plate he provides top tier defense.
-
Good stuff from Pop, mammoth homer aside. With that said he simply has to be sent down for a reliever from AAA, we need fresh arms and he’s already put up far too many innings this early into the season.
-
Really proving your point there.
-
Varsho projects pretty well as a hitter, moreso against RHP than lefties. I don’t think he should bat cleanup against southpaws, but it’s really not an indefensible decision to have him cleanup against right handers.
-
Enlighten me on which numbers you’re using to make this claim.
-
Clearly, based on the 4 games you’ve seen him play in your life.
-
The team has a .327 xBA, classic Royals ******** that nothing falls when we need it to.
-
Shocked the ump didn’t make the “show me up” call there.
-
Can’t see Pop sticking at the big league level for much longer if he pitches every game.
-
Ironically Melendez is a brutal catcher. The ump just sucks extra hard to make up for it.
-
This umpire is just gonna call every comeback sinker a strike, impossible to hit that.
-
The eye test and the defensive metrics back it up. Kirk is a vacuum back there and he’s an excellent framer. What about his defense doesn’t seem elite to you?
-
Exactly what I was thinking. If Berrios gets his command to where Singer has been this game, just like that second inning, he could be very valuable still. The stuff is good.
-
Kirk more than makes up for his brutal baserunning. Elite defensive catcher and excellent hitter. He’s worth a shitload.
-
I bet you’d love it if they missed the playoffs just so you could say you were right about beta Ross eh? Literally the Dodgers with 111 wins got knocked out in the NLDS last season, losing 3-1. So no, simply getting knocked out of the playoffs won’t put his job at jeopardy unless serious holes in the roster remain exposed and unaddressed throughout the entirety of the season. A lot of stuff would have to go wrong to outright miss it, but yes it’s very possible in that scenario that he could be used as a scapegoat and get shown the door.
-
I’m pretty sure the Blue Jays have only faced Singer like two times. Varsho apparently got the best of him in the one game he’s seen him. On the other hand, the Royals have seen Berrios a million times.
-
Wait, Hunter Dozier is still rostered, let alone starting, for the Royals? He’s been a -1 WAR player the last two seasons, is 31 and is below average for a bat-only player without the ability to even crush lefties in a platoon. The Royals are an awful org. Luckily they also gave him a 4/25M contract back at the beginning of 2021 because Hunter Dozier is just one of those guys that you extend first and ask questions later.
