Blue Jays Discussion: The Vladimir Guerrero Jr. injury overreaction thread

[canucksfan]

One thing about Smith is from what I have read he is an extremely hard worker and a studies the game frequently.

 

[canucksfan]

System’s looking good....can’t wait to see it after the sell off.
Hoping Alford and Pompey and Tellez pick it up as the season moves along, would be a nice development and make the last couple of months more fun to follow.
Same with Travis and Grichuk, strong finishes would be real nice.

Depending on what Jays get and what the other teams get, Jays could be number 1 or 2 ranked in regards to farm systems.

Eric Pardinho alert in Bluefield tonight.​

Not too bad so far. Two hits one infield single which scored a run. 5 SO so far 4 inning he walked two.

 

[dangomon]

Pardinho's line ends at 4IP 2H 1ER 2BB 5K (65 pitches 39 strikes (60%))

 

[canucksfan]

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Any word on his stuff/velocity?

Might be tough to get that info.

 

[metafour]

He got Nolan Gorman out twice too, including a strikeout.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Might be tough to get that info.

Not sure how reliable this is but:

Eric J. Dunnett
@ericjdunnett

A name for the future is 17 year old Eric Pardinho from Brazil. In his minor league debut, he was hitting 97mph. As a 17 year old. 97mph.

 

[canucksfan]

That wouldn't surprise me. Read where Tinnish said he was hitting 97mph.

 

[The Nemesis]

Several 2018 draft picks in the lineup for the Canadians' home opener tonight, including 4th rounder Sean Wymer.

And of course only the finest championship celebration ceremony that Rogers money can buy.

 

[The Nemesis]

Fresh piping hot take:

Wymer sucks. Podkul sucks. Bec sucks. Will McAffer sucks. Vancouver sucks this year and everything is terrible. Contract them and save Rogers the money.

As I write this they're being no-hit thru 5.1 innings

 

[The Nemesis]

Perfect game over. C's take a walk to start the bottom of the 7th.

No hitter still going

 

[The Nemesis]

No hitter done on the next batter with a line single to left

 

[The Nemesis]

Upside: Podkul no longer sucks as he comes through with a 2 run double

Downside: stadiums still play stuff by Pitbull in 2018...

 

[canucksfan]

Not a bad inning from the C's.

Going Deep: Danny Jansen Should Be On Your Radar

Last year I could see not ranking Jansen as high because it was only one year. He has done the exact same thing this year as last year. He should be one of the best catching prospects in baseball if not the best. Furthermore, he should be a top 50 prospect overall too.

 

[Boutette]

I really do think something was wrong with him physically as well as with Grichuk that appeared to have been deliberately ignored by coaching in April. I think there needs to be a clean sweep of the Jays coaching because this negligence has been going on for a while and as long as it continues, the team is going to go nowhere.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Hasn't Podkul been like the only really good player for them? He has an OPS higher than 1.2 right now. It's only been like 6 games, but that's still a pretty good streak... Considering nobody else is doing nearly as well.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

How our top prospects did last night

Bo Bichette 2-6 (hitting .281 on the season)
Cavan Biggio 1-3, 2 BBs (hitting .281 on the season)
Kevin Smith 1-5 (hitting .320 on the season)
Danny Jansen 2-4, HR, 2 RBIs (hitting .308 on the season)
Anthony Alford 1-3, BB, SB (hitting .207 on the season)
Rowdy Tellez 0-4 (hitting .259 on the season)
Griffin Conine 0-3, BB

Note: Kevin Smith has hit in 15 of the 17 games he's played for Dunedin including an 11 game hit streak he's currently on

I was only saying he sucked because through the first 6 innings nobody had a hit. Or a walk for that matter. So this being my first chance to see any of them, I came to the very reasonable, and very rational conclusion that they all must suck since I had seen all of them suck in 100% of my viewings of them.

Side note: I want to see McGregory Contreras do well. Because his name is McGregory Contreras and that's awesome.

EDIT: ok, apparently according to Fangraphs it's actually Mc Gregory Contreras. With the space between "Mc" and "Gregory". Somehow, that's even better.

Especially if you read it EmCee Gregory

Much more likely to be (in the case of Travis) missing significant PA's in each of the last two years (baseball is hard...its harder without reps), and (in the case of Grichuk) a typical cold streak in April\May (he's slashed .183\.257\.354 in April over his career).

But yeah, derpa der, negligence, and other loud noises.

This LOL.

Guys go on cold (and hot) streaks all the time. Welcome to baseball. With Grichuk, it just happened to be at the very start of the season, which is actually kind of a regular thing for him and is basically the opposite of Pillar's yearly "holy shit he's an elite hitter" early season trend. The sad part was the amount of people who seriously wanted to give up on a 26 year old league average or better hitter after a ~20 game sample of hitting that would basically qualify him as the worst hitter of all time....because obviously everyone knows that 20 games of at-bats means that you will continue to hit at that level for the remaining 140 games, even when past history dictates otherwise.
