Ryan Mountcastle, Blue Jay Killer


25 Nuggets

Recommended Posts

Heard on the radio in the 9th inning of today's game... Ryan Mountcastle is 11 for 13 in the latest Blue Jay series, with 2 sac flies to boot.

We've seen our share of Oriole Killers on the Blue Jay side - Kevin Pillar, Randal Grichuk lately - and to be fair, there's been vice versa over the years.  Mountcastle's right there with the best of them.

In is career, prior to today, he has played in 48 games against the Jays, and 203 plate appearances, which is appreciable for a split vs one team.  He was hitting .330/.394/.643 for a 1.037 OPS, with 60 hits, 15 HR, 18 walks, 32 runs scored and 41 RBI.  His tOPS+, which is the split relative to his career OPS, is 166.  His BAbip was .354.

Then he goes out today and bats 4 for 4.  All singles.

It doesn't matter if he's at home or on the road.  In Rogers Center he's OPSing 1.005.

Today the Jays pulled a left handed pitcher for a righty just for Mountcastle.  Didn't matter.

This season he is 12 for 25 with a HR, 8 runs and 9 RBI, 4 walks and 4 strikeouts (even K/BB?  Who does he think he is, Adley Rutschman?)

So this thread is specifically to honor the pain in Toronto's butt that is Ryan Mountcastle.  Let us savor the moments.

I'd be hard pressed to remember a better offensive series for one batter than the performance I saw from Mountcastle in this 4 game series...just ridiculously good...

They said it was a franchise record for a four game series.
