OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: New season of plundering begins

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Reynolds' career numbers both with runners on and RISP are excellent.

Last year, he was over .890 both with runners on and RISP.

I have no idea where the notion that he never gets a clutch hit comes from.

It comes from the ass. Like most unsubstantiated theories

 

[metalan2]

Renegade on to blow another one.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Bednar needs to go on the IL. It is so obvious he is yanking everything to compensate for not feeling 100%.

His fb up in the zone gets whiffs and popups. Down in the zone, it gets barreled. As far as offspeed, he is either yanking it in the dirt or hanging it when he overcompensates.

I don't think he's washed, I think he is not 100% physically.

 

[Empoleon8771]

God dammit Reynolds and Cruz.

I'm mad at Cruz for not taking that 3-1 pitch, that's an auto-take in that situation.

Confirmed.

Game over.

 

[WickedWrister]

Damn, that was a glorious opportunity

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

No matter what, I HATE HATE HATE the free runner in extra innings.

 

[metalan2]

This team is a travesty.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

So that's two games that Grandal not being able do his ****ing job is going to cost the team.

He did hit a home run yesterday, so one step forward, two backwards.

 

[metalan2]

Chapman is absurdly bad.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

10 million dollars on this trash human who can't even throw strikes in 0 leverage after he's already lost the game and given the opponent more cushion.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Confirmed.

Game over.

Yep. Out on that at bat. Therefore it’s a career of failure.

I thought you were done watching this season

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Rhys Hoskins signed for $16 million.

The Pirates gave Chapman and Tellez $14 million combined.

Oh, and up yours Grandal.

 

[MrBrightside]

We will tell our grandkids someday about the absolutely horrific work Cherington did in free agency during the 2023-2024 offseason.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Lol at signing a veteran catcher who can't catch a f***ing hanging breaking ball.

f*** this poverty franchise.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

We can't even just normally lose. It has to be like this, where we manage to give up two insurance runs on the most ludicrous 10 minutes of baseball we'll see until some stretch of tomorrow's game, which negates the would-be walk off HR in the bottom of the inning.

 

[WickedWrister]

Joe makes it interesting...

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Get the **** back in the dugout, Grandal, if you can even do that correctly.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Skenes and Jones will make a great 1-2 punch for the Yankees in a few years.

 

[metalan2]

Yep. Out on that at bat. Therefore it’s a career of failure.

I thought you were done watching this season

I'm a masochist I guess.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Lol people dunking on me about Bryan Reynolds' clutch gene. Pathetic people. And manager queens like Soviet.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Reynolds' career numbers both with runners on and RISP are excellent.

Last year, he was over .890 both with runners on and RISP.

I have no idea where the notion that he never gets a clutch hit comes from.

He does not have an RBI in 15 days.

But go on.

 

[ChaosAgent]

We will tell our grandkids someday about the absolutely horrific work Cherington did in free agency during the 2023-2024 offseason.

Well can we get Andrew Friedman? No one good would possibly want to make a guaranteed $12M over 3 years because they would have to work for Bob Nutting.

There's no such things as upstarts apparently, and no assistant GMs anywhere. It has to be a retread failure.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

He does not have an RBI in 15 days.

But go on.

Reynolds is in a terrible slump but the idea that he never gets clutch hits has no historical basis. It is based totally on a tiny sample size and deciding that the small sample size is more significant than years of results. Both of these things can be true at the same time.
