Do you mean 2nd highest? Everything I see suggests the Jays see between the 1st and 3rd most pitches in the zone this year. I think that correlates well to their low walk rate and high average, but they're just not cranking on those pitches (at least at home). 3rd in wRC+ on the road vs 20th at home with nearly a 20 point difference in ISO. The dome has become a shitty park to play in for hitters

It's middle of the pack for hitters according to park factor.

If I could read, I might have came to the same conclusion as you...LOL, yes they have the 6th highest..

Varsho!!

 

[MK78]

Nice 2 run dinger!

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Nice to see Varsho starting to come alive

I know Atkins got DeJong as an emergency from the Bichette injury, but boy is he a worthless pickup. Zero idea at the plate

Likely the worst stretch of his career.

He's played with the Cards his whole career so probably surprised he got traded and also trying to impress his new team.

I take back all of the negative things I've said about Biggio.

You have the 3 year rolling average. I’m talking this year with the new dimensions. We won’t know for sure until 3-5 years down the line but so far it’s definitely playing as a pitcher’s park.

 

[MK78]

Nice 2 run single by Biggio. Huge steal by 2nd from Springer too to make that possible.

 

[canucksfan]

Mariners already up 3-0

2B production has really picked up. Both Schneider and Biggio have been great the last couple of weeks.

it will be interesting to see if they down a 2B (Schneider) or a SS/3B (Espinal/Dejong) when Chapman and Bichette are back.

They'll send Schneider down. Better for his development. He won't get much playing time.

 

[Suntouchable13]

DeJong is an auto out right now.

 

[mikeyz]

DeJong with 2 strikeouts on 6 pitches so far tonight. Ooof

 

[Sittler 27]

Why even play Dejong, do we not have anyone in the system. Guy is god awful

 

[Puckstuff]

I agree that's what they will probably do. But i'm not sure we need both Espinal and Dejong when they serve the same role, and both can't hit.

Espinal is the only really backup 3rd baseman on the roster.

 

[dredeye]

Gausman doesn’t know what to do with run support

Wtf was that from Espinal. Nothing but time and throws it in the dirt

 

[The Nemesis]

And there's a drive to left by Castellanos.

 

[canucksfan]

Ugly error

 

[MK78]

Ugh, nice play Espinal.
