  1. Fangraphs says our wRC+ in "high leverage" situations is like 104, which is 12th best in baseball (not 100% sure what high leverage is defined as).
  2. Yeah - you're going to need stats to prove that. You're also going to have to explain how sample size plays a factor and disprove it simply as random luck. We have the second best offense in baseball by wRC+ (5th by runs and only a few behind 2nd place) and we have the 2nd lowest K% in baseball. We also have the 9th highest oppo % in baseball. You sound like Buck when you say they should cut down their swings, but how do you know they aren't? There are several reasons we have a bad record in close games. s***** bullpen (for part/most of the year), below average manager, below average defense and base running as a team and of course the randomness of baseball.
  3. Pretty sure the Jays have one of the best team averages with runners on scoring position this year...
  4. Why do they have Ricky Romaro on the broadcast now? Just to go to him once a game where he tells us that he would have left the starter in?
  5. I just saw the other angle. I see it. You could relax a bit.
  6. Disqualified due to his own stupidity.
  7. Are you f***ing kidding me? It was incredible. MLB hit another home run. I got emotional watching them come through the corn and to listen to Costner (everyone's favourite baseball actor). It made me feel like a kid again. All the kids on my U11 team were talking about it last night, guessing who would win and recalling how much they loved the movie. And then an incredible game - back and forth, ending on a walk off home run in the absolutely perfect setting. How can you not be romantic about baseball? Maybe you have to be a true baseball fan to have enjoyed it. You also missed a great opportunity to call it 'corny' instead of cheesy. Dumbass.
  8. Deferrals are only good for the player if you're s***** with money.
  9. Remember when we played Panik over him. Those were good times.
  10. Buck hates pitchers using cheat sheets and teams switching up their signs. Shocking.
  11. You guys hear that A-Rod almost signed with the Red Sox to play with Manny, Ortiz, Pedro, etc.? Apparently he was taking a bit of a discount to play with them and everyone had signed the contract (Henry, Arod, etc.) except for Donald Fehr (Prez of the Players Association) who refused to sign it and talked A-Rod out of it because it looked bad for everyone else if A-Rod took a discount. I had no idea the President of the Players Association had to sign off on FA contracts or that he had this type of power. That's f***ing insane IMO.
  12. Did Buck just tell us that batter can't speed up their bat from one pitch to the next? Buck is hard on the "this is how we did it back in 1983" tonight. I hate it. Buck's going on about how he shouldn't be using the slider. 2 seconds later Shulman explains how he's thrown like 85% fastballs tonight.
  13. I think it was more poor execution. Ohtani fouled that inside fastball straight back. He was trying to throw the back foot slider and missed badly.
  14. Ohtani fouls a perfect inside pitch off straight back. Buck - "he has some holes in his swing" f*** off Buck.
  15. Nice to see Springer shut the moronic LA fans up. f***'em.
  16. Now Buck is explaining how you know whether Manoah needs an inning limit this year. He's strong He's big He's strong He his arm isn't injured You just watch him throw and that's how you tell. Incredible stuff.
  17. Buck just told us that Corey Dickerson is one of the best low ball hitters in the game. Holy f***.
  18. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-blue-jays-are-the-right-kind-of-aggressive/ nice little article on the Jays approach at the plate.
  19. I think they said Vlad was having timing issues at the plate. Of course there are a million things that could factor into this. Players who are fatigued and/or battling nagging injuries go into slumps and players who aren't fatigued or battling nagging injuries also go into slumps (ask Grichuk). There are people in the organization who get paid a f*** ton of money to figure this s*** out, so I'm going to let them figure it out.
  20. Here's the slide on a nice loop. It is mesmerizing. https://imgur.com/gallery/NFuh8c0
  21. Looks like Andrew Vaughn made some swing adjustments and is now also really starting to hit. White Sox will be dangerous.
  22. We were behind the visitors dugout so I didn't see it, but my buddy was at Game 1 of the double dip on Saturday and sat down the left field line and he said Gurriel was incredible with the kids, throwing balls, playing catch, etc.
