[Official] Blue Jays @ Astros

Don't necessarily disagree on your assessment of his at bats

But facing him when one swing could tie it or facing the rest of our lineup, to me is extremely easy

 

His approach will improve over time but it seems like he is guessing a lot at the plate.

 

Agree no way to know and agree losing affects people

Just think I see some disappointment from some guys who are really young and can be affected more easily

Maybe I'm wrong and we are about to win 10 of 11

 

Man a little luck never hurts.....

 

Sit the f*&k down Tucker and eat a dick. Jesus.

 

This is horrible

 

Obviously, Reed, White, Bregman...too early to tell with them.

Im pretty confident that I dont want Tucker on this team. Major defensive liability...and a bat that is just not impressive to me at all. His ceiling isnt that high, so I see no point in having him on the roster.

Im ready for Teoscar to come on down and have a crack at it. He cant go worse than 0-4.

 

What were the odds Reed was going to strike out in that AB? 95%?

 

Clearly it is. Clearly.

 

Reed just eats AAA but can't even look respectable here... Is there a d-league we can send him to?

The untouchables

 

Jake!!! Now let's do something!

 

Marisnick is creeping up as one of the better hitters on the team, lol.

 

I swear if we don't take advantage of this play by the Jays.....

 

Jake tried to pull an Altuve on the bases but got creative and lucky

 

Sometimes you need a little luck !

 

Seriously: 2 outs, runner on 2nd, you're the cleanup hitter and you watch 2 ****ing center-out strikes go by?

My HS coach would have had me running laps for days.

I b!tch about guys like him and Altuve and Springer and Keuchel more often because I expect more from them.

Also, why is Marisnick not the everyday CFer?

 

This is hilarious yet true

 

Disagree with the bunt here. Both because he's hitting well enough, and they might walk Altuve
