August 28 he faced 1 batter and got him out. But if we want to actually hold him to having to finish a whole inning, it'd be 10 days earlier. On August 18 in New York he faced 5 Yankee batters and gave up 1 hit, 1 run, struck out 2 and allowed no runs.

Absolutely brutal ouf
 
Great road trip by the team. 8-2 record and now we come home to play Tampa and Baltimore. Big games coming up.
 
Just watched a bit of the Jays in 30 ... reminds me why baseball is so unenjoyable.

Strike out after strike with balls off the plate. It was so bad you have to wonder about honesty.

That's enough for 2022, maybe next year I'll watch some.
 
Criswell is a 6’6 behemoth that throws sub 90 sinkers. He got absolutely battered in his only other appearance in the majors (10/10 BIPs, 7 hard hits at 97.4 EV). Looking forward to his 6 IP of 3 hit ball.

Just to add to that post, I plugged in the numbers for all Jays hitters with 250+ Plate Appearances (11 guys: Bo, Vlad, Teoscar, Kirk, Jansen, Hernandez, Springer, Biggio, Espinal, Chapman, Tapia) and compared to the MLB-wide average at that same >250 PA threshold.

View attachment 583700

Dead center is the league average swing rate (your average MLB batter swings at 48% of pitches thrown) and contact rate (the average MLBer gets the bat on just over 77% of balls swung at, including all balls in play, HRs, and foul balls) and shows how far above or below the average each hitter is. The further right the more aggressively the hitter swings at stuff, the further up the more frequently he gets his bat on the ball.

It doesn't tell the whole story because outcomes paint guys in a much different light (Chapman alone in the bottom left is offset by his ability to draw walks. Teoscar sits at the bottom but when he does make contact he tends to put the ball in play a lot. Espinal is up in the Kirk quadrant, but his increased aggressiveness manifests as a lot fewer walks and more balls in play. And while Tapia is more aggressive and makes more contact than Bichette, he doesn't put nearly as many balls in play and tends to get himself out a lot more often when he does. But if nothing else it shows what they're doing at the plate.

Oh my this is fantastic
 
Could be a frustrating series with the jays at bats against good pitching. Sounds like they have Rasmussen, springs going who are both very solid and then mcclanahan.

Criswell is going to throw a perfect game against the Jays, isn't he?
