Haven’t seen anyone give credit to the fans for not reaching over and trying to catch Adley's homer.  Not sure what the ruling would have been, but they clearly pull back. 

This ain’t New York and that ain’t Jeffrey Maier.

No harm done, but I'm pretty sure the kid in the black shirt reached over and the ball hit his hand at the 0:28 sec mark.

And from the left side too - so much for the teeth-nashing about his OPS vs. RHP.

I saw in one game thread how they thought he was looking more like Joe Mauer than Buster Posey (no like thats a bad thing) now he is back to Posey

Either one is outstanding. I’m not concerned about Adley’s offense. His biggest area for improvement is throwing.

I didn’t realize until post-game that Adley is a confirmed Blue Jays killer.  In the penultimate page of today’s game thread there’s a link to a video of two Jays fans watching the game and giving commentary and they were clearly terrified of facing Rutschmsn in the 9th.  Then their reaction when he homers is must-watch.   “Rutschman is clutch as F***!”  “I just hate the fact that we’re going to have to play this guy for the next decade of time!!!” (I hope so!) 

Anyway, I looked it up, and before today, Adler’s career numbers against the Jays were .342/.423/.594 with 7 homers and 22 RBI in 31 games.  Those numbers just went up!

Here’s the video if you want to see it - you need to fast forward to 6 minutes or so from the end.  Kudos to @clapdiddyfor digging this up.  


 

That was amazing. Kind of a 3D version of the OH game thread. "It's just pain. It's just pain." Lol.

Yeah, watching the game live I thought all the fans had pulled back. But that one guy did reach over and touch it before it landed.

I guess they ruled (correctly) that it was already over the HR line at that point. Though this one wouldn't have been a HR before the "other" Camden Yards wall change-- when they shortened that RF wall in the early 2010s.

    • They look like they already tinkered with his knuckle curve.  Not as much break but still sharp and he was actually pretty consistent with it.  It’s a SSS but his overall control looks much better with Seattle.  
    • I mean, he's not a closer. That's on Seattle for trying to use him like that in a 1-0 game. He's a solid middle reliever, but shouldn't be overextended into high leverage like that. 
    • I had never heard of Luke Dickerson before.  His HS is about an hour away from me.  Baseball America does a top 500 ranking.  I thought I’d find him in the top 100.  Nope.  I searched by “Luke” and he popped up at #311.  That’s some late riser!   Here’s the write up.   Is he supposed to be in top 2 rounds consideration? 311. Luke Dickerson SS Ht: 6'0" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Age: null School: Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. Commit/Drafted: Virginia Age At Draft: 18.9 Dickerson has been one of the better offensive performers among high school hitters in the northeast, which along with his athleticism has piqued the interest of scouts. Dickerson, who won a hockey state championship in March, has a strong, compact frame and plus speed. Scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded righthanded hitter who has shown solid feel for hitting and for the strike zone with the ability to use the middle of the field, along with an uptick in power production this spring. Dickerson has played shortstop but has experience in the center field as well, with second base or the outfield potential fits for him long term.
    • Santander has not had an off day since 5/30. Tomorrow would be would a good day to gives Stowers a RF start and Santander a bench day. Did it yesterday with Mounty it also could work with Hays or Mullins. The could easily get him 3 or 4 starts a week, whether or not they do is another question.  
    • He is a starter filling in for an injury and 6 man rotation.  He won’t be a starter when Kremer comes back and we go to 5 man rotation.  He is the only guy that has started a game this season and not given you 6 innings at least 1 times.  That includes guys like Means, Wells, Povich Kremer & Irvin.  You can’t be a starter on a contending team and never go at least 6 innings, that is how you do wear out a bullpen having to get 10+ outs every turn through.  
    • We should trade for Crochet. He has already exceeded his previous innings pitched. We put him in the bullpen for a couple of months to strengthen the pen and save his arm. Build him back up to start for the stretch run and playoffs if needed. Next year, when Bautista is back, he becomes a top tier starter again. He solves our bullpen concerns for this year and starts next year.
    • Yes, 109 is the key... anything below that is just, well, meh.
