At this point I'm honest to God convinced that this team signed a contract preseason stating that they were never going to make things easy and have a comfortable win this season.
 
First 2WAR season of his career. Yippee! He's officially been an average MLB player in one season of his career. He's also missed enough games (yet again) that his WAR numbers never get to normalize like they do for every other player over the course of a full season, so there's that. lol. I wonder if people would be constantly smoking Jano's dong if he wasn't a "gritty" white guy, who "plays the right way." It's the Morgan Rielly effect.
Wait... you've watched Jansen play the last two years and you're still gonna double-down on how awful you think he is?

For the record, a 137 wRC+ in 402 PA since your last reality check update. I think people might like him because he's been a wildly productive player when he's been healthy.

Got the 7-2 record they needed in these 9 games, plus both Seattle and Texas have gone into the tank.

Should be difficult to blow it from here, especially given how many times Seattle and Texas play each other.

Plus this is his 2nd 2+ WAR season. Jansen put up 2.6 fWAR last year.

Saying his numbers don’t get to normalize because he gets injured is such a cop out lol
 
Alejandro Kirk put on a pitch framing master-call today. This was Berrios' called strike map today:

That's ~7 stolen strikes.

Agreed. But I'm still hoping that we take at least 3 of 4 from Texas just due to the fact that the Jays have been struggling big time against the East this year.

I hope they build a comfortable enough lead where even playing 500 ball the rest of the way after the Texas series is enough to get them in

Kirks defence is soo much better now. I’ll give him credit on that for sure. I think working with Jansen has really helped him.

For all the talk Rutschman gets about being an elite defensive catcher with great pitch framing and game calling… bowling ball Kirky is somehow right there with him.
