[Seath The Scaleless]

A big inning would've been nice, but at least they're not putting up zeros with runners on

 

[EpochLink]

A nice 3-1 lead

One big inning where they put up a crooked number would be great. Feels like we have not had one of those in a while.

 

[EpochLink]

Gausman is the man!

 

[Discoverer]

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.

To expand: the Jays are 7th in baseball with a .346 wOBA in double play situations (runner on 1st, less than two outs). TB is 25th at .304, Baltimore 26th at .302.

They're actually really good at hitting in those situations, but, like you said, they do it so often (because they get on base a lot) that a counting stat like GIDP is going to make it look like they suck.

That is good to know.

I was just going to pose a question about this. For both the GIDP and RISP situations I was curious how much of the counting figure was influenced by the fact that the Jays are a great contact team that gets on base and has a lot of baserunners (4th in MLB in OBP).

What we need are % of runners stranded and something like GIDP% (the simplest, if not necessarily the cleanest version would be GIDP/# of PAs with at least a runner on 1st if we figure that 5-4-3 or 5-6-3 DPs are rare)

Yikes Teo has been a mess defensively.

 

[TMLeafer]

Jfc Teo

Mountcastle Jays killer

 

[EpochLink]

Teoscar has been in no man’s land for awhile.

 

[dredeye]

Hernandez in the field is such a problem

 

[as Pure as Evil]

at this point do what do we do against mountcastle. do we just start walking him throwing at him .. cant pitch to him in rbi situations

 

[Suntouchable13]

We should have gotten to the starter more. Their bullpen is good.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't get how you are that bad at bunting as a utility guy in the majors. Like I hate bunting...but you should be able to do it.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He moved the runner over, so I’m not mad about it, but he should be able to get the bunt down.

Yeah, I think bunting is way harder than some people seem to think it is, but, between the bat angle and the little jabs at the ball, Espinal looks like he's never tried it before. It's really weird.

 

[EpochLink]

Damnit, RISP continues

 

[Langdon Alger]

Leadoff double goes to waste.

 

[trellaine201]

Oh man we leave sooooooo many men on base!

 

[Orca Smash]

Bo taking a home run cut on strike 3 when a single would suffice. Not sure what happened to shortening swing mentality when down two strikes from last season. But it's created problems for them this year when cashing in runs. And the home run cuts keep coming.

 

[MS]

Baker felt like a guy the org should have kept last winter and watching him blow 100 by people now kind of hurts.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Not sure why a guy who signed 120M dollar deal can not be trusted to face a guy a 4th time? They would rather have a Tim Mayza face Mullins here than a guy who finished 6th in Cy Young voting last year. It doesn't make sense this mentality.

He was shortening up. 100 mph fastballs are tough regardless.

They wanted the lefty vs lefty matchup I guess.

I didn't see him shortening up on that swing. Most have them haven't all season.
