@ECK_47 Minor baseball: I’m not a fan of hammering down, but in tournaments that have run differential rules as part of the tiebreaker system, or varying mercy rules (15 after 4 v 10 after 5) it’s difficult to take your foot off the gas pedal. Why play 5 if you can get them out in 4?

Thank you @josh_arceBB 🙏

@Rsweeney5 & his staff continue to elevate the expectations for Newfoundland heading into these national tournaments.

The players are buying in and the culture around this team was evident.

Kudos to @BaseballNL15U, you guys were fun to watch.

The system is broken, time to reset who covers the sport

- Journalists who think suppression of a market is better for baseball

- @MLBNetwork contributors openly want players to sign with specific teams

- Greats kept out of the #HOF because of journalist self-righteousness

https://t.co/BPECjokmp7. No qualms with how secretive Shohei was during the sweepstakes. He made the right call — for him, and for us

@Sportsnet I get the Jays didn't score runs.

But at the end of the day, extremely questionable pitching changes played a significant role in the Jays not advancing back to back years.

Most haven't been a fan of the skippers decision making when the lights have been brightest.

What now?

@BallMechanic @BlueJaysDad Fair! I'm going on the context of the original post... haters & defensive abilities.

To clarify, I wouldn't trade him, bat is too valuable... but I do believe the Jays could be a better team by shifting him.

And... they may already have the defensive answer on their bench...

[Ryan Sweeney @Rsweeney5]

@BallMechanic @BlueJaysDad Knowing the💰he is going to demand, you'd want to see better defensive numbers to justify IMHO.

Love for the Jays to keep him, but doesn't need to be at SS.

But.. Tulo having played SS for jays in recent memory may skew my view of Bo's SS abilities, and they are comp. hitters.

[Ryan Sweeney @Rsweeney5]

@BallMechanic @BlueJaysDad He can hit!

Even with how much better he may be defensively this year, he's still ranks low:

26th in OAA
26th in runs prevented
32nd in fielding to glove side

I feel the jays could be a better team with him on 2B + less pressure on him overall.

Pt1.

@BallMechanic @BlueJaysDad Fair. I'm looking at generalizations of certain positions from an offensive vs defensive statistical point of view.

The fact that Bo is a good hitter is probably the only reason he's still allowed to play short.

Below is from a recent MLB season.
Aligns with positional norms.

‘27 Will Parsons crushes this pitch to the LF wall for a double.

Flashing some juice to his pull-side as one of the youngest players we have down in florida.
