Blue Jays GDT: 2024 v6 | Fri, Sept 13 | vs StL | 7pm ET/4pm PT | TBA vs TBA Ohtanis Makes History

[LaP]

The Rays have LESS homeruns than the Jays and have one of the best 1-Run records this season. In fact the top 5 teams in HRs have worse 1-run records than the Rays.

They have 178 stolen bases, The jays have 70.

Like i've said since the beginning of last year you can't have both no power and no speed.

The Jays is a double and single team. They would have a lot more success offensively if they would steal bases.

Could have used a HOMER in any of these 3 1-run losses eh?

I'd love you people to argue this one.

You people, eh?

I feel like this is missing quite a few dimensions of what makes a good ball club. The entire point is that 1-run records are a mirage and aren’t indicative of a team’s ability or success. Even the Rockies have a good 1-run record.

I think you have COMPLETELY misunderstood the point people have made in that discussion.

What's to misunderstand? This team does not hit enough home runs to be competitive.

I don't know the numbers, but I'd bet they will finish with fewer home runs in 15+ years.

So Ohtani is now at 53/55 with 6 games left to play.

He's also at 391 total bases.

400 total bases in a season has only been done 29 times in MLB history.

Ok. Maybe I just don't know who's on the other side of the "Jays need more power" argument.

It's the Trop. Always some rando scrub who beats us. Aranda beat us. Their bullpen is also something else, man. Not to sound like I am making excuses, just sayin even if this was a 100 win team, they would still find ways to lose at the Trop. That's they way she goes. I hate it, but there is nothing any one of us can do.

Why is that some scrub reliever who was placed on waivers 50 times all of a sudden becomes unhittable after the Rays pick him up?

 

[MK78]

I dont think there will even be a 100 win team in any of the divisions... And that's with the white sox team thats gonna lose 120+ games.
