Richard’s didn’t try to go home there eh… hmm

He could have walked it home and would have been able to tag the runner

 

[canucksfan]

Big inning upcoming

 

[The Nemesis]

Romano still needs better entrance music.

 

[Revolt]

Varsho with a sick catch.

 

[phillipmike]

Huge catch

 

[canucksfan]

That play by Clement was really good.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice defense tonight .. really nice win.

Take the series.. a sweep would be stellar tomorrow

 

[phillipmike]

Big series win. Need a bounce back from Gausman with a full pen except for Yimi.

2 GBs of the division. 1 GB if you win tomorrow

 

[Suntouchable13]

Only 2 games back of the Yankees, after their supposed hot start against cream puff teams.

 

[Nineteen67]

Great D bails out Romano

 

[canucksfan]

The lineup they had tonight is the one I would roll with most nights other than Biggio in for IKF.

 

[trellaine201]

Awwww Jr has great English. Seems fine to me.

 

[canucksfan]

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Kikuchi's fastball was on point tonight. He has been elite so far this year.

Solid win. Sweep these losers tomorrow

 

[shaner8989]

Got a few hits tonight was a rarity. Pitching has been outstanding minus Romano but he gets a free pass tonight

 

[Eyedea]

It honestly amazes me that he was catching full time up to 3 years ago.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Well.. If Gausman can get anywhere close to himself and our Cuban keeps building.. we are in business

 

[torontoblood]

Only 2 games back of the Yankees, after their supposed hot start against cream puff teams.

We can win the AL east division this year.

Ya it's so weird. Imagine Kirk going from catcher to the outfield?

Varsho is having better at bats which is nice. Although the team only scored 5 runs, I thought they had good at-bats. Chased Rodon fairly early. Hopefully Bo gets going.

 

[fancy lad]

Solid game all around. Hitting has been much much better since they got home and that’s with our best all round hitter (bichette) still figuring things out.

Defence has been great.

Pitching has been great.

I don’t think the sky is falling anymore.

The hitting needs to get better if they want to do damage in the playoffs. One signing that is looking bad is Kiermaier. His bat has been horrendous just look at his statcast page. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/kevin-kiermaier-595281?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

Could have used that money for a LF that can hit. Move Varsho to CF.

The hitting still lacks power. They've gotten by with really good plate discipline, drawing a ton of walks

At least C isn't a complete black hole now. Just need Vlad, Bo, and Springer to get hot.

 

[LaP]

What the hell happened this week? Did Schneider decide all of a sudden that they would steal base or the players decided to ignore him? Anyway it's fun to watch finally they are stealing, run and hit, hit and run and squeeze. Like i said since last year if you can't hit with power you gotta run and create things.

And being a lot more aggressive on base this week.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

It's been known for quite a while now that Varsho is one of the best outfield defenders in baseball. They shoehorn in Kiermaier because he's a vet and happens to be elite himself. Either way, the team has pretty easily the best outfield defense in the game. If only they could hit.
