Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v2 | Sun, Apr 16 | vs TB | 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT | McClanahan vs Manoah

[The Nemesis]

They said on air Jays are worst in league with runners in scoring position hitting .112. They are also 1 for 12 tonight which is putrid.

that was RISP with 2 outs, which is such a small sample of plate appearances that it likely means nothing

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Richards lol

I just hope he isn't in the game at all.

misplay by Espinal

Unusual for him. What a different start to last season when he was absolutely zoned in both offensively and defensively.

Ahh missed that. Still not a stat you want to be dead last in. Could be the difference in a win and loss tonight

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Will be huge if they get out of this the bats will then wake up

 

[canucksfan]

Solid job by Mayza

 

[Canada4Gold]

Been a lot of weird plays this year. That inning had a bunch of them. The ball travelled about 83 feet the entire inning and somehow no runs. Time for the bats to show up

 

[Forgotusername]

Pulling a rabbit out of hat there.

No, but it's early enough in the season with so few plate appearances/at-bats with RISP and 2 outs that 1 or 2 hits is the difference between being dead last and moving up several spots.

If they're still here after 30-40 games, maybe it's time to be worried. But less than 2 weeks into the season it's a non-entity.

Honestly, even at the 30-40 game mark it's pretty close to meaningless.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Alright Vladdy bomb tie it up

Nvm

 

[MS]

Oof, Bass is getting the massive low strike zone that the Tiger starter was getting in the early innings.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Honestly, even at the 30-40 game mark it's pretty close to meaningless.

Isn't RISP numbers generally pretty meaningless over any sample? Have we still not gotten past the notion that clutch is a thing other than random sample noise?

RISP with 2 outs

Not regular risp

 

[shaner8989]

why is Belt still on the team.

 

[trellaine201]

Wtg Belt a feeble hit to short. Minors are calling him.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

I guess the game is over now then

At least Richards is hitting his spots for his fastball majority of the time I'll give him that, but still any contact is sketchy

 

[shaner8989]

Bottom of the order without KK is pure dog shit

Belt
Merrifield
Espinal
Kirk
Biggio

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Turtleneck

 

[tmlms13]

I get that when you want to give people a night off you hold to that. But 1 AB and pinch run for KK or MC won't kill them

 

[MS]

Not sure why Kiermaier didn’t pinch hit for someone there.

 

[Puckstuff]

Belt looks washed. He literally looks like he has difficulty just walking out of the box. He’s about as quick as my Granda

 

[Blitzkrug]

Yeaaaah. Belt was never exactly an athletic specimen to start with but I can't imagine the knee surgery he had last summer helped him in that regard.

That and the fact COVID apparently kicked the shit out of him per himself.

Sucks. Last time he was fully healthy in 2021 he actually raked.
