Dean Kremer vs Kevin Gausman

[jamesdean]

Gausman has been shelled at home this year while Kremer has pitched decently on the road.  Hopefully, that trend will continue, and we can take the series.

Cowser, LF

Santander, DH

Henderson, SS

O'Hearn, RF

Adley, C

Mountcastle, 1B

Holliday, 2B

Mullins, CF

Urias, 3B

Play some D.

Hit the damn ball.

Win the game.

Time for a winning streak!

It would be nice to see Mullins come back to life.

760 OPS since June 1. He can get hot for a week or two and produce way better, but upper 700s feels like a pretty high percentile outcome for him over any sizable stretch.

I just wish he compensated his poor batting average with drawing walks and getting on base and then, utilizing his speed.  Unfortunately, he does neither, thus making him fairly useless most of the time.  Him getting hot for a week would be better than nothing but long term, I don't know how valuable it is.

Same cherry picked timeframe as above, but 320 OBP since June 1 which is just above league average. With his defense, if he's league average at the plate that's valuable.

His atrocious April and May will wreck his season totals. But I think there is reason to believe he'll be more like the guy since then, or at least close to it, the rest of the way. That's more or less what he's been for his career.

I just don't think his impact will be much going forward. At least offensively. But you're certainly entitled to have a more positive expectation.

Crooked number every inning please....for O's only just to be clear.

[CantonJester]

The Jays dealt Kevin Kiermaier at TDL and haven't missed a single beat out defensively in CF. 

[Mackus]

Get the guys in front of Vlad and then you can throw him junk.

[NewMarketSean]

No, I’d rather walk at 2:03 hitter

[CantonJester]

I usually try to avoid Kremer's starts. But I took off yesterday because I was too PO'd at the end of Tuesday night's game.

 

Whatcha gonna do...

[NewMarketSean]

Jesus Christ

Hopefully he settles in but I don't think it's a secret that we're gonna have to score a lot of runs this month.

Yet another Kremer 0-2 pitch belted for a base hit into the OF. 3-0 Jays. 

[NewMarketSean]

Guess I’ll be watching a movie tonight.

[Mackus]

Kremer done everything bad you can do this inning except give up a homer (ducks).
