    I think Vladdy has a chance to be a pretty good first baseman, he has pretty good hands and he's naturally far more athletic than Rowdy, he just needs to get his weight under control.
  2. max silver
    He looks pretty good at first base to me as well. By DRS he's been graded as slightly below average at -2, UZR likes his defence quite a bit with 5.1 and 7.4 UZR/150 the last two seasons, and by OAA he's been slightly below average as well at -1.

    Can we just ban this clown already?

    Bring on the robo-umps, I've had enough of their bad calls to last a lifetime.

    There's plenty of hating on young players on here. You have to be blind if you've missed the statements like Rowdy sucks and he'll never amount to anything, Teoscar is a total mirage and will never sustain success, etc. etc. Those who have tried to take opposing viewpoints are derided and mocked for having bad opinions as if the negative posters have some sort of crystal ball that sees into the future.

    A lot of posters seem to take a strange delight in hating on the Jays young players for some reason, it's almost like they are actively cheering for the players to flame out rather than being hopeful of improvement over time.

    s***** news about Teoscar, I guess that means we will continue to get all we can handle of Panik and Villar on an everyday basis until Bo comes back. At least Biggio has been ok in the outfield so we don't have to watch Fisher bumble around all the time.
  8. max silver
    With no Bo or Biggio in the lineup it's sort of slim pickings for leadoff so Villar is probably fine.
  9. max silver
    That's pretty f***ing terrible to not pinch hit for a bench player in the highest leverage situation of the game. It seems like he rolls coins to help make decisions or something.
  10. max silver
    It would be impossible to overstate the impact of having these guys available for the games against the Yankees. Especially Bo, going from Panik/Espinal to superstar offensive force should help kickstart the struggling offense.

    If it's a choice between being impotent and having excruciating boners then sign me up for the latter. And what man hasn't secretly wondered what it would be like to have tits?
  12. max silver
    He's looked pretty damn good in his limited innings so far, fastball has ticked up and his command has been pretty good as well. A relief role may just suit him nicely.
  13. max silver
    Mid to late 30's man can face all this s*** even without steroids so they might as well get jacked and hit more dingers.
  14. max silver
    Positively Joe Carteresque.
  15. max silver
    Once Bo is back it seems like a good possibility that Shaw will be the odd man out, he's just so hopeless at the plate. The pinch hitting appearance last night captured his season perfectly, just completely overmatched by average fastballs.

    Look about halfway down the page under pitch tracking: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/travis-shaw-543768?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

    Before Bautista showed up with a noodle arm he was a decent right fielder though, not much range as he was pretty damn slow but far better instincts than Teoscar has displayed with less bone headed plays.
  18. max silver
    Awesome win for the boys last night, I was excited to see if Teoscar was able to maintain his gains from last year but he's found another gear and activated beast mode. Pitching continues to be great, Walker was a very astute pickup by the front office, I wouldn't be at all disappointed to see him retained going forward, he would be a nice Shoemaker replacement if he manages to stay healthy going forward.
  19. max silver
    Hopefully Bo makes it back before the season is out, pushing either Shaw or Villar to the bench.
  20. max silver
    Latest I heard about Kirk was he was still learning about how to effectively call a game and pitch sequencing. He's already on the taxi squad, so it's not out of the realm of possibility we could see him get some playing time this season.
  21. max silver
    Awesome win for the boys, I never would have guessed that they would be playing and winning a bunch of close games based on the strength of their pitching, I expected more of a slugfest going on each night instead.
  22. max silver
    If I recall correctly the pitcher doesn't get charged an earned run for the batter at second base scoring, it's charged against the team.
  23. max silver
    If pitcher A is giving up line drives all over the field and allowing a run to score every inning while pitcher B is suppressing hard contact effectively while only allowing a single run to score every 9 innings, is there even any reason to debate which one has been more effective? I can see the small sample size of innings regressing in opposite directions for each pitcher, but it's silly to shrug our shoulders and completely assign random luck to the end results.
  24. max silver
    I definitely think there is a skill element involved in contact suppression rather than fully assigning it to random chance. Ryu is one of the best examples of this. Besides, Hatch has an upper echelon spin rate that would very likely make his fastball hard to square up.
  25. max silver
    These two pitchers are a great example of the intrinsic flaw of the FIP/xFIP systems, in that other than home runs surrendered they do not sufficiently account for quality of contact in their formulations. Hatch has limited hard contact much more successfully than Font has so far. By Fangraphs Font has allowed 55% hard contact vs 38% for Hatch. Font has surrendered a 31% line drive rate vs 11% for Hatch. It's no surprise that Hatch has allowed fewer runs to score than Font.
