Of course there's skill in hitting a baseball, but outside of general location (right, centre, left, particularly), there's not really much ability to control where the ball goes after contact.
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
I hate to be that guy, but I gotta say, you must never have played baseball if you're going to say that and believe it.
Majority of the Jays hitters try to pull everything which is why the BABIP sucks. It leads to a lot of ground balls on the pull side into the shift and a lot of pop up/fly ball outs. If the jays used the entire field more the BABIP would increase.

Bautista is done. His bat has slowed down to the point that he can't catch up to fastballs anymore
Bautista is done because he is stubborn as **** and refuses to make the proper adjustments now that he can't destroy balls like in his prime.
With the right mind frame I bet Jose could hit .260/.270 with 20-25 HR's but he's so pull happy and thinks he can still hit 40+ despite the fact his body is breaking down. Pitchers will work him on the outside corner all day because he is too stubborn to slap that pitch into RF for a single. Just a steady stream of pop ups, weak fly outs/ground balls.
Feels like I'm watching a familiar 2nd season collapse by the Leafs.

Does that also explain why everything is dropping in for the Rays?
Leafs usually collapsed before the last quarter of the season. There's about 1/9th of the season left for the Jays...
The Rays are more pull happy than the Jays

I never said the Rays were good.
They hit well at rogers center for whatever reason but they still have a ****** approach which is why most teams shut them down.
Which explains why the Rays are about as bad a team offensively as the Jays. They Jays just have the old equalizer called power to make them look like they're better.
The Rays definitely have been spraying the ball around this series more than the Jays.
This team needs a rebuild.
I don't think I've seen such goofy pro athlete beforeAlexia skeletor ramirez sure is one happy mother ****er all the time
A poorly timed slump and a rebuild is needed...sure.
