Gurn Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The ump made a few bad calls, but the right team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I mean...Keith Hernandez was a pretty good hitter.....maybe it's worth a shot? Quote Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez didn’t exactly get technical when analyzing the swing of Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk on Friday night. In fact, the popular former Mets first baseman and multiple all-star stunned his fellow broadcasters into silence during the second inning of the Jays 3-0 victory. When waxing poetic on the finer points of hitting a baseball — which Hernandez did with a certain degree of prowess during his decorated playing career — the broadcaster suggested “you want to always be erect when you make contact.” It isn't clear what KH's opinion is on how one should grip the bat....

Earlier in the game, the alleged HP umpire rang him up twice on balls that were 4 inches off the plate. They weren't quite as bad as the strike call against Vladdy in the 2-1 win, (the pitch that ended up with John Schneider getting tossed) but they were bad.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, ump had a bit of an expanded zone all day. Both ways at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 60 games played Jays are in fourth place, 8.5 behind the Rays, for first in the division; and 2.5 out of the wild card spot. Game @ 4:07 today, pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Good on Brian Snitker for pulling Ozuna from the game for this: This "pimping the home run" thing is irritating to begin with, but when it turns doubles into singles, it absolutely should earn you a spot on the bench as a spectator for the rest of the game.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize his mentor was Cox, the second most successful manager in Jays history. Good decision. Edited June 5, 2023 by King Heffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van_ws Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Manoah is done. Maybe he is just that a one hit wonder. Feeling Ricky Romero vibes here. You cannot trot him out anymore, either send him down to the minors to work it out and rebuild his confidence or go on the IL. He is hurting this team way too much. Jays are better off bringing up a AAA pitcher for now than to see Manoah like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I wonder if Alec gained weight this off season? A few extra pounds, and the need for speed due to the pitch clock might be a part of his issues. Perhaps an extra day of rest can get his pitch speed up a bit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone else mention it - the pitch clock has effectively taken away the time Manoah used to use to reset himself after a bad pitch. If it's a pyschological issue with him (and it really seems to me like it's more than just a mechanics problem right now), then he's gonna need more than rest and conditioning to get out of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so much for the hope that tonight would be a bounce back start for him....At this point I wonder if the Jays shouldn't give him the Roy Halladay Rebuild treatment. Call up Waguespack or Overton and maybe use Richards as an opener on those games....I can't imagine how it would be worse.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
