Are they going to start selling those HR jackets? I would buy one in an instant.
 
I found the t-shirt version that Bichette was wearing from some very sketchy t-shirt shop I'm looking forward to seeing if its anything close to the real thing.
 
Will Robertson is looking pretty good in Vancouver for the 10 games since coming back from injury. Small sample of both bad(in May 7 games) and good(July 10 games) but he's climbed his OPS back to almost .800 after the start where it was in the low .400's.
 
Hello power hitter Jonathan Davis

The thing is that no one disagrees that you can't effectively block a baseball on one knee.

Catchers don't use the stance for blocking.

No one wants to hear about George Brett randomly during games.

No one wants to hear why advanced stats suck (especially not from someone who has no fundamental understanding of how they work)
Years ago, Tabler once said in the broadcast that he was an "analytics guy," maybe Buck should deffer all the advance stats talk to the "more informed" Pat Tabler.
 
That's a terrifying thought considering Tabler is right there in the "pitcher wins are the bestest" gang.

Pitcher wins are Tabler's analytics though. Back in 1894 the only thing they counted were team wins and losses. The nerds back then decided maybe there's a way if you can tell if individual players are good or bad and came up with this wild analytical stat that gave a win to a pitcher. It was ground breaking. Tabler hasn't caught up and still believes that's the latest analytics.
 
Taijuan Walker has unfortunately fallen off.

In his last 4 starts of 15 innings;

20 ERs
7 HRs
10 BBs
12 Ks
12.00 ERA
-0.6 fWAR

His last 11 starts haven’t been good either;

56 Innings
35 ERs
9 HRs
21 BBs
52 Ks
5.63 ERA
0.1 fWAR

First 9 starts;

49 Innings
10 ERs
1 HRs
19 BBs
49 Ks
1.84 ERA
1.5 fWAR

K/BB% is identical but his good luck caught up to him.

Walker would have been nice to have at the start of the season but if he keeps it up then the Jays may not have use as our current starters are;

Fangraphs WAR;

Berrios: 2.5 fWAR
Ryu: 2.0 fWAR
Ray: 1.9 fWAR
Walker 1.6 fWAR
Matz: 1.2 fWAR
Manoah: 0.6 fWAR
Stripling: 0.1 fWAR

Baseball Reference bWAR;

Ray: 3.8 bWAR
Ryu: 2.8 bWAR
Berrios: 2.2 bWAR
Manoah: 1.4 bWAR
Stripling 0.7 bWAR
Matz: 0.6 bWAR
Walker: 0.5 bWAR

What a shocking and unexpected development.
 
Cole and Montgomery with covid, German with a rotator cuff strain, Kluber not ready yet. Here's hoping they don't score 13 every day.
 
I'm not the only person who has noticed the Jays' wonky scoring:

Yeah, who would have thought wincing in pain after swinging a bat might mess up your pitching?
