George Springer showing his speed

Kirk gidp incoming

Not quite but it was heading towards it lol

Kirk gidp incoming

Almost

 

[EpochLink]

This ump strike zone is ass

 

[Suntouchable13]

Kirk hits too many balls on the ground. He can't do that and be successful in the long run, imo.

 

[LaP]

Huge error honestly. Kind of error you don't want to see in a playoffs race.

He needs to go to the Jose Altuve school of hitting

 

[trellaine201]

Jays are so NOT clutch.

Well, if he had Altuve's wheels then it wouldn't be so bad.

I doubt he can be succesful in the long run unless he gets more fit. I don't think there's a place for him as a DH with power Ortiz style since he's too small. I think he would need to lose some weight to have a long career no matter what.

Teoscar is pissing me off. He is guessing. I don't get this guy. He is 28 years old, a veteran already, sometimes plays like a rookie.

He’s been struggling as of late, not sure what’s up with him.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Byproduct of their obp rate though. Rays and Os don’t hit into as many DPs because they don’t get on base at nearly close to the same clip. Dodgers are the anomaly in the sense that they’re just way too good at everything offensively.

That's some part of it, although the Nationals, Cubs, and Reds are near the top in GIDP but all middle of the pack in OBP. And O's are 2nd last in GB% (ahead of the Dodgers)

Jays get on base, hit a ton of GBs, and don't have fast runners

 

[Suntouchable13]

As a great man once said "f*** Baltimore!" Well, he said f*** Brooklyn, but you know what I mean.

I find he mentally tunes out especially defensively.

Ump show

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Umps trying to be the stars of the show. Just f*** off

 

[Suntouchable13]

Thank God the ump didn't ring him up there. you know they have a short fuze sometimes.

 

[EpochLink]

Lmao that was low but it’s a strike out

 

[Isaac Nootin]

First pitch out of the stretch, and not clear at all.

Easy to see the ump was waiting to make that call.

 

[red devil]

This umps strikezone is massive calls balls low outside and inside strikes

 

[Cloned]

He’s definitely not biased, just incompetent lol. Calls a balk and then calls several questionable strikes.

Well, if he really wanted to be the show he could have tossed him for that reaction.

 

[Forgotusername]

It would be nice if the Umps would be held accountable for their questionable calls

 

[red devil]

He’s definitely not biased, just incompetent lol. Calls a balk and then calls several questionable strikes.

The 2nd base umpire called the balk so they're both incompetent

 

[trellaine201]

Thank god for Henderson!
