[The Nemesis]

I’m watching this instead of playoff hockey lol

Of course you are. You're a Sharks fan. Failure defines you.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I could have watched the Leafs/Sens game over this.

Different season, same story.

 

[canucksfan]

The funny thing as it stands, they're currently on pace to miss their 2024 mark on home runs by over half.

Not a great scene right now. The way it is now, you're expecting essentially 2 bats to drag this offense across the line by itself.

Vlad loses a lot of his intimidation factor when everyone and their grandma realizes they can pitch around him since nobody is driving him in. I'm sure it'll get better once Santander finds his groove, but even with there's a lot of dead weight in the lineup.

Bo has been unlucky, but he has a wRC of 110 and an ISO of .078. Not good enough.

The contact hitters have a bad average, which doesn't help.

The team can't be happy with the bats' performances other than Heinemann, Straw, and Springer.

Blanco will hardly ever have an easier night. He may never have one as easy for the rest of his career.

Contact hitters who don't...hit for contact. Brought to you by the galaxy brain of Ross Atkins.

(I do not include Roden in this. He's a rookie and has actually looked okay with that in mind)

 

[MK78]

2 hits. from Clement & Lukes. Got one run because OMG one homer scored an instant run.

Their offense may actually be worse than last year. If that’s even possible. Lol.

This early Houston series always seems to be dominated by one team or the other, usually Houston.
If they’re 500 after 24 games, no reason they can’t be 500 after 162

Roden's statcast page is pretty bad. His expected batting average is .160, and slugging is .244.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

NOT
WORTH
$500
MILLION

 

[habamillions]

Over/under 3 hits? Ill be generous as the jays had 4 hits through the 1st 2 games

 

[canucksfan]

My ideal lineup for tonight

Springer (DH)
Bo
Vlad
Santander (LF)
Gimenez
Barger (RF)
Kirk
Wagner
Straw

 

[Suntouchable13]

Santander is so bad. Can't catch up to the fastball at all

 

[Blitzkrug]

Unlucky as shit.

Bo hits a rocket right at Pena and it gets knocked down. Altuve hits a shitty dribble that finds a hole and then Jordan.

Thankfully a double play nullified it but still.

 

[canucksfan]

Solid at bat Gimenez

 

[canucksfan]

Barger is unlucky so far

 

[Tw1ster]

I’m beginning to think this team isn’t a contender

 

[Suntouchable13]

By my count, Jays are 11-6 when scoring just 3 runs or more. Just need to get out of this funk and they will be fine.

 

[canucksfan]

Astros are getting lucky

 

[MK78]

Well it's gonna be another uphill battle I guess... Lets see what the rubber bats can do.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Gotta go for the Gusto

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why are they Jays so in love with shitty hitters like Wagner and Roden? Maybe I am being a little unfair to these relatively young players but I am kinda getting sick and tired of seeing them hit the ball weakly at bat after at bat.

I thought Wagner would hit .300. Maybe a bit empty but at least keep the lineup ticking over. We are just a mess.. all over the lineup

 

[MK78]

Wooo a Vladdy groundball single!

 

[MK78]

Good lord Tony looks bad. Worse every day it seems.
