To be honest, it would be kind of funny if the Jays just keep losing.

>>75232825
I want to see them go 1-20 just to see what would happen

Has any team in any sport had a bigger fall from grace than the Jays from last season to this season?

sadness is all the blue jays have left

>that >rags fact

Thank god for Britton

>>75232842
I wonder if Gibbons would lose his job. I know they gave him an extension but someone would have to take the fall and it's usually the manager.

>le 1 pitch man
>le give me 200 million man

its funny you can tell who the casuals are by how much they are freaking out as if teams dont collapse and rebuild all the time

we have the oldest lineup in the majors and tulo martin jose are all regressing while pillar, smoak, barney, travis are just bad, it is what it is, we'll sell at the deadline and move on

Boras is gonna demand a trade before Sanchez' value drops

Umps replaced by just using the pitch tracker when

inb4 >risp

Are you guys ready for a triple play without the runners actually needing to move?

>martin
>0.42

Oh my god

>0.042
I could hold my bat there and probably hit better

who /yankees/ here?

holy shit smoak lmao

>Russell's just gotta open up and let it fly

No, he has to be patient and just make solid contact

why wouldnt you send the runner around 3rd are you fucking serious? Again with this shit fuck off

inb4 >durr you hold the runner there because muh jays can hit with risp

How long until Sanchez collapses?

>good step in the right direction
it's the 10th game of the year. there's a reason spring training exists. you don't "learn how to hit" during the regular season

>Martin so bad he makes Smoak look good

where are you getting the 8.5, martin is making 20 million this season

Barney will replace Travis when Donaldson returns

>Pillar swinging at literally every fucking ball

pillar is poo

Is Gary Thorne drunk already? He just said the ball was scooped up in the dirt when it clearly went all the way to the backstop

The saddest part about Martin's decline is that he only threw out 15% of runners last year. That's pretty terrible. Luckily for him there's no one close to being an everyday catcher in the organization.

Hopefully Reese Mcguire will actually turn out to be good in a year or two.

>>75233236
we can still get rid of him if we eat some salary to a team that needs a good catcher and is on the verge of contending

the mets would probably love him and his framing

Those dancers are ugly as fuck

>>75232913
you're absolutely right. this team popped out of nowhere along with jose. it's only fitting.

>>75233236
what about D'arnaud? last I heard he was our best prospect and developing well

>>75233296
d'arnaud is shit

This game would be boring as fuck without the errors

>>75233515
the jays would have to win 60% of the games they play over the next 40 games to make up for starting 1-8

martin is causing me physical pain

It's kind of like...why does Martin even waste time swinging the bat anymore?

>Smoak
What the fuck

SMOAKED

>RBI

where were you when Smoak became our best player?

enjoy this boys this is likely to be about a third of smoaks hits for the entire seasons right here.

CRUSHED

cannot believe some of you idiots actually claimed memechez was going to be better than stroman this year

>It's a Chris Davis shits on the jays episode

Sanchez never should have came back out to start the inning

so the new OBP version of Davis can still smash it

Gibby should just throw in the rookie relievers so they can get some playtime in the majors - doesn't matter how many runs they give up at this point since the bats aren't going to do anything anyway.

>>75234147
You guys are such faggots. The season just started and you're already talking about which pitcher is the best. And last year everyone was calling him Stroshit. Fucking kill yourselves.

both stroshit and sandshit think highly of themselves and are overdue for humbling experiences. both are still pretty young as well

>>75234192
stroshit is an actual pitcher with multiple pitches and doesnt just throw his fastball every pitch praying for groundballs or strikeouts

>>75234238
Right, that's why he was great all last year. He's also a flyball pitcher with his fastball. He's 24, give him some time, he will end this season with a solid statline. Stop being a faggot.

>>75234308
>be a 65% flyball pitcher
>still use a power sinker
He's asking for trouble desu

>>75234308
except it doesnt work when the entire baseball world knows you are just gonna toss the same pitch the vast majority of the time and he cant locate with his curveball

>>75234331
I'm not saying Sanchez couldn't improve in certain areas but I don't wanna hear idiots talk about how he throws for groundouts with his fastball when he has one of the most flyball inducing fastballs in the league.

>>75234350
He's learning his curve. He's barely used it. He's a talented pitcher, and you don't know what you're talking about.

Now that the Blue Jays have been officially eliminated from playoff contention is there still a chance they finish the season with a winning record?

>Wade Miley has a quality start

>>75234450
any starter against the blue jays is guaranteed a quality start this season

>>75234584
I hope not
I want to see the Jays get the MLB record for longest losing streak

>>75234584
jays have a terrible record against pitchers they havent seen

>>75234494
and hesonly thrown his 4 seam 20% of the time compared to 61(2015) 52(2016) and 64(2017) % of the time with his sinker

you dont induce popups with a sinker in case you werent aware

>>75234584
>blue jays will do well against a literal who pitcher

his is this your first season in baseball?

Aaron Loup is good at baseball

>go to take a piss with Jays winning 3-1
>come back and its suddenly 5-3 O's

What happened?

>>75234494
You said he tries to induce groundouts with his fastball. His fastball is one of the most flyball inducing fastballs in the whole league. He's not a fastball pitcher primarily, even though you for some reason think he is.

>>75234651
How many dingers before gibby pulls him

>>75234690
That was a long piss, do you have kidney stones?

>>75234690
That's a pretty long piss

21KB, 1066x226px

>>75234698
are you aware there are 2 kinds of fastballs?

sorry i assumed you knew

a 4 seam fastball is thrown with a high spin rate and usually thrown towards the top of the zone to induce popups or strikeouts if batters cant catch up to it

a 2 seam fastball or sinker is thrown with late movement in order to induce groundballs

sanchez throws his 2seamer or sinker far more than his 4seam

as you can see from this he is a majority fastball pitcher

FT refers to the 2seam fastball btw

>>75234690
did you pass out while pissing

Brach is the setup now? OBB?

>>75234768
I know that, usually when people say fastball they are referring to a 4 seamer, which is what I thought you meant.
