Travis!! What a beauty

 

[LaCarriere]

good bye perfecto. #5 for Travis.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Travis is straight up beasting wtf lol

New Bautista

 

[Eyedea]

Travis is becoming a legitimate threat.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Travis again

 

[theaub]

Some guy on Yahoo at the start of the year was like 'Devon Travis ROTY candidate' and I was like lol what a clown this guy won't last through April

Touche guy on Yahoo

 

[Quares27]

[LeafsMonster]

Atta boy travis

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ohhh Donaldson with a hard hit ball

C'mon EE - keep it going

 

[Swervin81]

I said Travis is like a mini Altuve out there... I may have underestimated him.

 

[LaCarriere]

travis drinking gatorade like a little kid

 

[ryno23]

AA finally acquired a baseball player a dirt bag player a gamer. Too many time he was after toolsy guys who weren't good at baseball but good athletes. With the Travis deal he acquired a who while not a five tool guy just a good ball player.

Will give AA credit for seeing the errors of his ways.

 

[Canada4Gold]

EE and Donaldson are obligated to hit a HR today as well, can't let this rookie guy without power to lead the team in homeruns again.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Serious question. Do you trade Travis for Kinsler?

I mean travis is cheaper and much younger

 

[BertCorbeau]

^ No

EE with a sweet two strike approach there ... Need to capitalize here!

drafting sure, because in high school, basically everyone is pretty raw.

He got Stroman, he got Donaldson, these guys are not just all tools no toolbox guys, Travis is hardly the first.

 

[Quares27]

.385 with 5 homeruns already and we got him for Gose lmao

 

[TootooTrain]

Danny boy.

 

[Eyedea]

Is Jamie Campbell completely botching deGrom's name? I feel like he is.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Excellent!

 

[LaCarriere]

smyly gettin tagged now

 

[The Nemesis]

And yet people rip on him every game.

because a lot of people still wrongly conclude that since "the point of the game is to win" that wins and losses attributed to pitchers must be a meaningful representation of the pitcher's value/ability, totally missing the fact that a full half of the equation responsible for getting a a win (offence) is conducted when the pitcher isn't even on the field.

 

[BertCorbeau]

A nice two out rally here could take Smyly out of the game for the next inning

Stop being silly Nem. I'll take my pitcher who gives up 10 runs in an 11-10 win every day over a guy who loses 1-0. At least the guy who won knows how to pitch to the score, and while he gave up more runs he knows how to get the other team out to get the W when it matters.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Pillar would have caught that, and thus I blame this on Bautista's injury.
