He's never even posted a .330 OBP. That's extremely lovely for a guy with no power at all.

An AL relief pitcher posting a .330 OBP would be pretty unusual.

As a flyball pitcher, it can be tough to make sure those Arial balls don't land for hits. Good for him.

He had a ton of strikeouts, including the first four outs he recorded.

Are you sure you're not just looking at the price in CAD
I double checked and the bleacher seats, which are usually $17 are $32 for the Jays series.

ihatepants posted:

I noticed that there are always a ton of Blue Jays fans here when they are playing the Mariners. Does all of Canada support them because they're the only Canadian team left, do they make the trip from Toronto, or are there just a ton of transplants from Toronto?
They mostly drive from Vancouver, which is about 3 hours north of Seattle.

You can see the ball the entire way from his bat until it hits the ground and it just had a lot of spin on it. It didn't make any jarring change of direction. Consider the home run a punishment for misplaying it so badly. :colbert:

The best part is that the announcers go "Kiermaier is such a great CF that there's no way he misread the ball, it has to have hit something."

No, he's the rear end in a top hat who has 7,000 baseballs that he's personally caught at baseball games, including pushing kids aside and sneaking into a veteran's only game.

He did get banned from some stadium, right? Am I misremembering?

He still strikes out a lot, but he went from 1 true outcome to 3. He's gone from being a laughingstock of a wRC+ of 38 to the 6th best hitting catcher in baseball (with a minimum of 150 PAs).

He's also creeping up on the Mariners record for most RBI in June.

I'm a fan of most times guys try to bunt for hits (like, as long as it isn't the only way they could conceivably get on base), sacrifices other than squeeze plays are bad though.

Eh...change that to sacrifices other than the suicide squeeze, safety squeezes suck too.

Last night in the Ms/Tigers game, both teams got their leadoff guy on in the 10th and both followed up by popping up a bunt.

It was beautiful.

Do the Mariners have any chance of beating the Astros this series? I know their rotation is dead, but still...

We've got the momentum of sweeping the Tigers and cresting .500, Felix is back and Miranda is pitching on Sunday.

I think we have a chance of taking the series, but there's also the chance that Astros will laugh and completely take the wind out of our sails.

...that's a lot of unintentional nautical metaphors.
