RUPERTKBD Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It's common knowledge that Angel Hernandez is one of, if not the worst umpire in MLB... ....but credit where credit is due....he's been far better than the last couple of guys calling balls and strikes in Jays' games.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems whenever I see Angel Hernandez make bad calls it's on the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have to admit, every time he made a borderline call that was correct last night, I asked "Who are you and what have you done with Angel Hernandez?".... I remember a great Twitter line from a few years back...Trevor Bauer was having a rough inning against the Royals, giving up a two run lead and as Terry Francona was coming out to give him the hook, he took the game ball and threw it over the fence in center field.... The line on Twitter was: "Angel Hernandez called it a strike"..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Jays leading 2-0 after 4 complete at Fenway. Even better: Kevin Gausman has thrown only 40 pitches so far, while Tanner Houck has throw 64 for the Red Sox.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 .....and right after I type that, Houck sets the Jays down in the 5th, with only 6 pitches.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Okay guys....Gausman at 72 pitches through 7 innings, but gave up a couple of hits in the last inning.... Do you send him back out for the 8th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Anyone concern with the early struggles from Bowie? He can’t make contact with a fastball to save his life. Edited April 23, 2022 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I've been a bit worried about all the hitters. Other than Vladdy, all of them seem to have underachieved.... As far as Bo goes, I think his average is pretty good, considering that he seems to start every AB at 0-2.... Another adventure in the 9th from JR, but when you can reach back for 99 MPH, it can make up for a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Huge win though. Anytime you can win a Justin Verlander start, especially when you counter with your spot starter, it's a big deal. A come from behind, road win, with huge contributions from the bottom of the order and terrific defense.....that's a pretty big deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo has always been a great 0-2 hitter, and when he does strikeout, he usually puts up a good fight with the pitcher. This season, pitchers have been blowing him away with 94mph fastballs. Which isn’t the norm for him. Edited April 23, 2022 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I think he could take a page out of Vladdy's book and shorten up the swing with 2 strikes and just put the ball in play, instead of coming out of his shoes.....
