Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v8 | Next: Sun, Aug 8 | vs Bos | 1pm ET/10am PT |Richards vs Ryu]

[The Nemesis]

Stanton still has one more year on his deal after Springer’s expires.

Springer also has only 9 fewer HR so far this season than Stanton has in the last 3 seasons combined.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The guy is just lobbing it up there. 36 MPH, LOL

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

36 mph

 

[Emerica]

Stat padding time boys

 

[canucksfan]

Must be weird trying to hit 90+ then going to 36

 

[Suntouchable13]

Pitching is that easy. You can just stand and lob it up there at 36 MPH and only give up 1 run in an inning.

 

[canucksfan]

Lol Espinal is in

 

[MS]

Nice outing for Saucedo after being ridiculously unlucky last time out.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

4 back of Boston

 

[TMLeafer]

That inning was awesome. 7 inning games tomorrow, less chances for the bullpen to mess it up

 

[Cloned]

What a wild 24+ hours for Canadian sports. 5 medals, soccer gold, Jays win. Almost makes up for 2020.

 

[flying v 604]

I think they expect in a couple of weeks. I believe he is throwing a simulated inning in the Florida complex then hopefully off to a rehab assignment after that.

IIRC he's put up good numbers in limited innings so that should help and while not educated much when it comes to analytics but we should be much higher in the standing if not for the BP.
Same article pointed out how lucky the Red Sox have been so that's good.

I was shocked to learn how much one can gleam from analytics in baseball compared to hockey.
Sorry for blabbing on and cheers.

 

[canucksfan]

Yankees game going into the 11th. Yankees had a bullpen game too.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

I wonder what brainstorming was going on behind the scenes to put Espinal in for a half inning in an 8 run game

Montoyo thought it was Panik.

 

[Cloned]

OPS of the top 7 hitters in the order tonight:

1.008
1.052
.867
.827
.848
.724
.836

That'll do, lol.

This is also without Espinal, who's actually been raking this year.

Grichuk at 8th is at .740 but has 69 RBIs. lol.

When the pen comes in I get the same sickly feeling I used to get when the Nucks had a 2 goal or less lead in the last couple of minutes when Marky was in net

Mariners have intentionally walked Rougned Odor TWICE tonight.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

f***in Yanks

 

[Puckstuff]

f***in Yanks

heartbreaker for Seattle

 

[canucksfan]

Mariners have intentionally walked Rougned Odor TWICE tonight.

I saw that and thought WTF. I’d rather face him than Gardiner. He sucks but will put up tough at bats

All the one run wins they racked up were unsustainable, it’s catching up to them now. And now they’re making bad decisions leading them to losses too.

I was happy to see Seattle play the Yanks because only 1 team could squeeze out a 1 run win

It was to get the R vs R matchup both times with Higashioka, who has been worse than Odor, and to set up the DP. And you didn't want to risk an Odor love tap clearing the right field porch

Edit: Odor has reverse splits this year, but still lol
