    While talking about his cutter/slider Tabby "he's going to turn the ball over" I don't think Tabby knows what turning the ball over is.

    92 MPH right down the middle Buck - "there's a breaking ball for a strike"

    Fernando Tatis Jr. is being humbled by AA. wRC+ of 36 BB% - 1.5 K% - 29.4 OK - he's getting ass f***ed sans lube in AA

    Would it kill anyone on the pre-game show to talk about: 1. How teams typically need 8-10 starters to get through the season? They talk about how Garcia is a sneaky good late signing as the Jays used 2 or 3 starters in the 5th spot last year. FFS - just explain that teams need lots of starting pitching depth (it's not just the 5th spot in the rotation) and how they've done that by signing Garcia, stretching out Biagini in AAA, advancing Borucki, signing Deck McGuire, acquiring Guerrieri + Gaviglio, etc. 2. Talk about how the "fly ball revolution" is also geared at lifting the ball low in the zone (or sinking pitches) - the Ted Williams approach. They just go on about how Garcia has to keep the ball low to keep it in the park. This isn't 2011. Educate the casual please. These aren't crazy sabermetic matters.

    Diaz HR here
  6. Brownie19
    That's the Pillar we know. Swings at a ball over his head
  7. Brownie19
    I think something is wrong with Stro
  8. Brownie19
    Morales looks a lot better at the plate right now. We'll need his bat

    Looks....yep, Upton, Kinsler and Cozart are still on the team! Trout, Ohtani, Upton, Kinsler, Simmons, Calhoun, Cozart. Pretty sure this team is going to score runs. They catch it well too. Pitching is their issue. The only thing slumping is the quality of your posts!

    Freeman, Albies, Acuna and Swanson is a pretty sweet young core.

    Hold on. Instead of using his 2 seamer to pitch to contact and induce weak contact, Happ has gone back to using the 4 seamer, pitching up in the zone like he did in Pittsburgh when he was dominant there for 2/3 of a season? Mimicking the approach he used during the most dominant stretch of his career? What a f***ing crazy concept...

    Agreed. Hitters read scouting reports on new pitchers they are facing and the pitchers read the scouting report on the new hitters they are facing. I don't know if it's easier for a pitcher to read a scouting report, identify the weakness and exploit it than it is for a hitter to read a scouting report and identify the pitchers strengths and tendencies. I guess the former seems a little easier (this putz can't hit breaking balls low and away - attack), which might explain why pitchers have the upper hand initially?

    Travis to the DL is going to be the next move...
  14. Brownie19
    TIL Mike Napoli still plays baseball. He blew out his knee.
  15. Brownie19
    Eat a Dick. Dick.
  16. Brownie19
    Is there any other way without ripping your anus apart? Boxy - don't answer that.
  17. Brownie19
    No, no. Taper them. I'm going to start with an expectation of 4 and taper that up to 10 by midseason.

    Steamers projects Vlady to be a 101 wRC+ hitter in the majors right now. There's absolutely no way you start his clock if you believe that's the level of success he'd have in the majors this year. Obviously trying to determine how good he could hit ML pitching right now is very difficult, but I'd have to imagine that if the Jays FO called him up now, they'd believe there's a good chance he's a 120+ wRC+ hitter. The only other way I think they'd consider it is if there's a long term injury to JD or Smoak. Otherwise, Solarte and/or Morales provide offensive production at the positions that Vlady would play.

    Is Richard Urena hurt? Must be - what did I miss?
  20. Brownie19
    Agreed. Then again, you probably won't need a phantom injury for Travis. Aledmys is getting beat up by the BABIP gods right now, but that BB% suggest he may be a lot closer to the hitter he was in 2017 than the one he was in 2016. If so - he shouldn't be plugged into the lineup every night. I see ample opportunity to for LGJ, Diaz, Solarte and Travis to all get ample playing time even when JD returns.
  21. Brownie19
    Pardinho's in rookie ball right? That season hasn't started yet? I came here to note that Diaz is unhittable, but apparently I'm too late.
  22. Brownie19
    LGJ - a new shiny toy! me so happy! Seriously though - how awesome is it to have depth? Remember when Jonathan Diaz would be the injury call up?
  23. Brownie19
    Sir - this isn't the facebook or TSN comment section.
  24. Brownie19
    Gabe Kapler's really turned it around in Philly...
  25. Brownie19
    He dropped a ball on opening day Spank. Therefore casuals think he sucks.
