We also have the most blow out games and 10+ runs scored games of any team in the MLB. Those stats are misleading. Even Zaun said it, we tend to score a lot of runs in games we are already winning. The game we were down 7 to Baltimore was one of the few games where we actually scored runs when we needed them but then still proceeded to lose the game. -
As you would expect...Let's compare that with the Jays shall we?

I think what he (AA) was trying to say is that he looked at players when analyzing them more from a potential standpoint and what they could do when everything was going right, regardless if they were trade targets or already on the team. He probably regrets not trading Rasmus when he had the chance, waiting instead for him to fill out like many were on Lawrie.

Most of the guys' plate approaches seem to revolve around expecting a "mistake" pitch down the middle or they sit on a certain pitch/location and from that frame are ahead of the pitchers that do eventually give in. When this doesn't happen and you have guys like Archer who are comfortable throwing secondary stuff on the corners, that approach gets destroyed. You look at a team like Baltimore that wins a lot of 1 run games and you see that they change their approach when they are up against tough pitching. They try more to fight off pitches for singles than drive it out of the park (esp that POS Machado). In general that part of our hitting game is non-existent. We don't manufacture a ton of runs and play for the big inning every inning including the 9th.

Spot on with what I have noticed as well in terms of his thinking about potential and it shows in the Lawrie--->Donaldson trade. Hopefully he hasn't jumped to sell the farm for proven mediocrity though.
-
Pretty much impossible... Hahaahahahahha AA is already stretched out trying to add BP help and move Navarro, come on man
-
Isn't Reyes a really good bottom of the order guy? Should produce a lot of runs with that speed get his running game up as opposed to the top of the order where you don't want to run into outs b/c of the big inning. Would make the bottom of the order more scrappy. Who do we have down there that can do that? Navarro? Smoak? Goins? Carrera is not an everyday player
-
Yeah like #1-2 pitcher with control kind of help
-
I'd be happy if he just acquired rotation help. Think our BP is fine.
-
Pompey just got nervous and started doubting himself, I think he will be real good next yr. Travis/Osuna for example look like they have atleast 2-3 yrs MLB experience under their belt.
-
Isn't this the first time AA sounds (overly ambitious by AA standards) adequately ambitious in his plans to acquire roster help (BP and rotation)? He usually is being mysterious and spins every question into "we want to do anything to get better as a team" / not the player we were looking for etc etc
-
haha they have Buck's call on the highlight package?
-
I frekin hate 4 game series. Either we get destroyed or LOSE momentum even if we win 3/4 or sweep
-
At least he walks
-
Or making them not so good hitters?
-
Travis to the #2 spot
-
Jays' tendency to get shutdown by good pitching a sign that they are all about flash and just not scrappy enough?
-
Atleast we worked the pitch count past 9
-
And swing as much at ball 4
-
7/9 in Sv opps, that's terrible let's get him
-
Are you watching the game?
-
That was a good attempt
-
Top of the order in the 9th, let's do this!!!!
-
Lol DN
-
Come on Cecil
