GT: Jays @ Reds, Aug 18-20

[Brinbe]

hilariously bad defense this series

[Randle McMurphy]

Chapman just gives them two runs now defensively to get them right back in the game. Pathetic.

[Raider917]

this is ugly

[TOStateofMind]

Chapman making sure the reds make the comeback

[Madvillainy2004]

Chapman gotta be the worst 5 War player I've ever seen

[JN]

My Prediction on final the scores:

Game 1: 7-3
Game 2: 11-5
Game 3: 8-7

The answer is already game 3 - and the 2nd inning is not even over.
Ugly stuff out there.

Buck blaming his finger sprain is really funny

Nobody cares man. These games are way too important.

[Randle McMurphy]

It's honestly hard to see this team ever succeeding in the playoffs (if they somehow make it) for a lot of reasons, but Chapman at the plate/in the field in big situations is one of them.

[tripa]

Ryu runs like a twitch streamer

[COY0607]

This team is honestly pathetic, they’re not serious about winning

Whoever signs Chapman this off-season is going to have a miserable time. And Vladdy is in for a rude awakening when he sees his contract go to Bo

[Madvillainy2004]

Chapman having one of the most bizarre seasons ever. He's probably gonna win another gold glove and leads 3rd baseman in fWAR and it's felt insanely disappointing. This Jays team overall just makes 0 sense.

2023 Matt Chapman with no runners on: .823 OPS
2023 Matt Chapman with a runner on: .738 OPS
2023 Matt Chapman with RISP: .667 OPS
2023 Matt Chapman with the bases loaded: .631 OPS
2023 Matt Chapman with 2 outs, RISP: .657 OPS

2023 Matt Chapman in low leverage: .824 OPS
2023 Matt Chapman in high leverage: .512 OPS

Have never seen anybody choke at the plate as much as this guy has.

Sadly before this year he was flat across all leverage situations (around .800 in each)

Something is clearly going on in his head right now - he is sad in critical situations.
And while no other Jay has such a gross split, I think the trend of poorer play in High vs Low is far from unique.

[Boogie!]

Ryu has come back at exactly the right time. No need to watch manoah throes away games anymore.

[Lateral Quicks]

19 basis point difference in OPS between Kiermaier and Vlad. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to see Kiermaier catch Vlad by the end of the year.

[Brinbe]

Good to have Bo back

[jaymeister15]

Nice to have Bo back

[Brinbe]

BELTED x2

[Randle McMurphy]

Management should probably get some credit for signing Belt. He's had a great season and there was certainly no guarantees of that coming off his injury plagued 2022.

[Boogie!]

19 basis point difference in OPS between Kiermaier and Vlad. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to see Kiermaier catch Vlad by the end of the year.

Its sad stuff man. What happened to this guy? At the very least you'd think his eagle eye would've translated to the majors but even that has disappeared.

[TOStateofMind]

Bo and Belt b2b. Thank god bo is back.
