Wait, Smelly Bat Flip wants to knock out Vladdy...I hope he finds all his teeth after Vladdy is done with him. If he's lucky Alek Menoah wont tea bag him.
Yep. Also terrible. So is Nick Mahrley. They are the three worst based on games and highlights that I have watched. Hernandez probably gets the most negative social media. Nelson is especially brutal in Jays games. He missed 27 calls when behind the plate in a Jays game in April. His balk call on Gausman without a warning when working 2nd base the other night was bush.
Yes, Jeff Nelson is horrible, Ron Luciano must be rolling in his grave. Bryan Baker is yellow for attempting to start something he wanted no part of. Aquaman delivered to perfect response, squashing the Orioles offense and being a perfect gentleman about it.
So Smelly Bat Flip made his statement to the media, he wasn't doing it in the melee. Vladdy would have given him a strozzatura (rung his neck).

When unassuming made this post on April 17, Stripling had pitched six innings, including one 4 inning start, allowing no runs. He was charged with two earned runs in two previous one inning relief appearances. He became a full-time member of the starting rotation on June 6.
Bo in September:
Add 5 AB, 3H, 3 2B, 1R, 1RBI, 1 BB for Saturday, September 10.
September Ave: .525, (21/40)
September OBA: .558, (24/43)
September SLG: 1.125, (45/40)
September OPS: 1.683
6 HR, 18 RBI, 13 R in 9 games.
For AL player of the week consideration, games from September 5-11. Bo has not won a player of the week award since May, 2017, when he was playing for the Lansing Lugnuts.

Only thing that might stop him winning is that Mike Trout has hit 6 homers in 6 straight games this week. But I hope Bo wins.
Mike Trout 2022 game by game logs
One of Trout's HRs in the streak was last week, for PotW consideration. Bo also has 5 HRs since September 5, and 21 hits, compared to Trout's 9, 13 RBI to Trout's 8, and 5 multihit games, to Trout's 3, but Mike Trout is ... Mike Trout.
It's not uncommon for there to be co-winners. A big game on Sunday from either might make a difference.

Bo appears to have his timing down at present. That high leg kick he has isn't easy to pull off in conjunction with his swing.
He's not the most fluent up there. I remember reading a scouting report on him in AA. They didn't think his swing was going to necessarily translate to success at the major league level as well as it did in the minors.
I still think he's a 2 bagger masquerading as a shortstop however. I'll bet he'd be a better hitter if he was at second and not having to worry about playing a position that isn't his best.
Think of what happened when Edwin moved to first.....

Very few top hitters have a front leg kick in their swing for a reason but Bo pulls it off
They teach you not to do it
Players of the Week: Bichette, Freeman
Bo Bichette and Freddie Freeman put together stellar weeks for teams that are deep in the thick of a playoff race. For their efforts, they were named the Players of the Week presented by Chevrolet on Monday.

Yep. Front leg kick is additional movement that can throw off mechanics. Harder to maintain consistency. Can help provide additional power and/or plate coverage depending on kicking motion, when in a groove.
Jays will lose both games, Manoah the scheduled game 1 starter has a case of the "Runs", Jays hopeful he can start second game.
They are losing at the moment with Mitch White on mound, who was suppose to start the 2nd game. Bullpen game if Manoah can't make 2nd game.
TB plays the game the right way, "Small ball" and Base stealing, Jays are always swiinging for fences.
