Belt's hamstring really went "that's enough running for one month"

 

[Suntouchable13]

Belt looks hurt, hamstring issue. f***

 

[trellaine201]

Yay a 2 out hit! Clutch. Too bad he is injured. I won’t miss his Ks.

 

[The Nemesis]

Because I made a joke about it, your Blue Jays ZARP leaderboard for this season, minimum 100 PA:

1) Bichette (1.02)
2) Jansen (1.00)
3) Guerrero (0.95)
4) Chapman (0.89)
5) Merrifield (0.86)
6) Springer (0.81)
7) Varsho (0.73)
8) kiermaier (0.72)
9) Belt (0.62)
10) Kirk (0.54)
11) Biggio (0.43)

Well, I guess that clinches it. Belt is trash.

 

[Suntouchable13]

So they don't want use Francis?

 

[Discoverer]

Yay a 2 out hit! Clutch. Too bad he is injured. I won’t miss his Ks.

I find it really strange that some people can't see past the Ks to see how fantastic he's actually been.

Joe Panik would never

 

[The Nemesis]

Maybe they thought it would be good to use Mayza to get through the 3-4-5 and give Francis a solid shot coming in so that his run started with the bottom half of the lineup.

 

[canucksfan]

Next inning. Avoid the lefties

Ah yes. Looks like he is starting to warm up now

 

[mikeyz]

Belt looks like he has injured his hamstring

Yeah that didn’t look good.

 

[The Nemesis]

Joe Panik would never

Joe Panik was a career 0.50 ZARP with the Jays.

That sound you hear is Gregg Zaun furiously going back to rejigger the formula to account for this obvious oversight.

 

[The Nemesis]

That giant loonie mascot is terrifying.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I find it really strange that some people can't see past the Ks to see how fantastic he's actually been.

People don't realize strikeouts aren't as much of a black mark as they were in the past.

Mike Trout (when healthy) would routinely be near the top of the leaderboard in that regard but no one gave a shit because he was still an MVP caliber hitter regardless.

These days K basically means '"oh he just didn't hit it that AB" rather than "he's a bad hitter"

Aaron Judge finished 7th in Ks last year. Something tells me nobody cared given he still had an OPS of well over 100 and wRC+ of 200

 

[Leaf Rocket]

So they don't want use Francis?

Jeff Francis? HOT DAMN

That giant loonie mascot is terrifying.

stuff of nightmares...

 

[Blitzkrug]

God dammit Dan don't tell the audience that Gurriel went yard again.

I understand but its a personal thing lol. Sorry. I hate when batters whiff. I would rather them put it in play. Anything can happen.

I mean, he's reaching base almost 40% of the time.

 

[The Nemesis]

Every once and a while when someone mentions Anthony Santander just by his last name I mishear it and think they're saying "Sam Tander"

 

[Suntouchable13]

Arraez is at .399 now, what a bust!

 

[trellaine201]

That was the CF Buck.

 

[The Nemesis]

That was the CF Buck.

It sure was. *breathy laugh*

 

[red devil]

Arraez is at .399 now, what a bust!

No longer a bust he is now hitting .402

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Francis painting 98 on the black. That will play.
