GDT(1/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Los Angeles Angels - Johnson vs. Richards - 10:05 PM ET

[TheEndIsNigh]

I actually feel bad for JJ, he must be really frustrated, and prob embarassed, he has been just beyond bad the last few starts.

[8D]

Let's go trout!!!! Inside the park HR!!!

[dineke]

Gibby should make JJ keep pitching, who f***ing cares if he gives up 15 runs. Teach him a lesson.

 

Lesson? Not like he's trying to suck... Gibby's not going to risk his rep anyways.

[Howard Roark]

3.61 xFIP and 6.31 ERA through 76 innings. This has to be one of the biggest discrepancies ever through 75 innings.

 

=\

 

What the f*** is the BABIP against him this year, .750?!

 

I mean, outlier season is outlier season and all, but holy s***.........

[gruber92]

This chick is awesome. Moar of her tweets in the future, King.

 

You call this little girl a chick? How old are you,12?

[Save Dtieb]

give johnson a 1 year, 1 mil deal.

[OtisNixonFan]

That's on the game calling and pitching coach, just saying as it doesn't matter JJ keeps missing his spots regardless. Juan Perez time!

 

Love watching Perez on the hill. His delivery is like watching a train derail. Entetainment.

[o2cui2i]

cant pitch

cant hit

half of them cant run....

 

where are the positives?

[TheEndIsNigh]

Pitcher cannot shake off the catcher? JJ has been in MLB long enough to know not to pitch to the same location the right handed hitters..so he's dumb then?

[dineke]

You call this little girl a chick? How old are you,12?

 

Um... people call girls chicks all the time, what's wrong with that?

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Gibby should make JJ keep pitching, who f***ing cares if he gives up 15 runs. Teach him a lesson.

 

If he hasn't learned that lesson by now, he never will.

[dineke]

cant pitch

cant hit

half of them cant run....

 

where are the positives?

 

Rasmus and edwin.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

give johnson a 1 year, 1 mil deal.

 

I wouldn't take this bum back for free. Can't pitch at all, ESPECIALLY can't pitch in the AL East.

[gruber92]

I'd do it easily. I don't think there's any chance he accepts.

 

 

 

So this is a new problem? Because he has almost 1000 career innings, and his ERA (3.37) is lower than his xFIP (3.57). I'm not going to pretend to know what his true talent level is this year, but 75 innings is not nearly enough to write someone off has a mentally-fragile xFIP-breaking headcase.

 

Everyone loves DIPS until a player on their favourite MLB team or fantasy team has a high ERA.

 

Holy f*** with these stats bro. Players regress prematurely sometimes,period. His only chance to salvage anything is back in the NL.

[o2cui2i]

Rasmus and edwin.

 

doesn't out weigh the rest of the s*** enough to make me happy... lol

[8D]

You call this little girl a chick? How old are you,12?

 

chick, little girl, lady, female... same s***.

[jays4life19]

Nice Perez....Jays need to score at least 2 here...or i'm off to bed.

[JaysFanToTheEnd]

I'd rather have carly rae jepsen pitching than JJ.

[8D]

JJ looked teary eyed there. Is that why Gibbons was consoling him when he was on the bench? lol

I actually kinda feel bad for him. He's just human afterall.

[gruber92]

=\

 

What the f*** is the BABIP against him this year, .750?!

 

I mean, outlier season is outlier season and all, but holy s***.........

 

He gets hit hard. What do you expect his BABIP to be?

[Save Dtieb]

i wouldn't be surprised to see johnson on the dl after this game. let this guy stay in california for a couple weeks, please.

[TheEndIsNigh]

Well major changes are coming. Alex said it himself. I guess we have to suck it up for now. Literally.

 

AA said major changes? Good it is needed, this team is horribly wrong. Dony know what it is but something is really off with this team, chemistry maybe?

[TheEndIsNigh]

It's called a game plan and hitting your spots.

 

ANd I'm saying the gameplan is always idiotic....can you read? JJ is a vet enough to see this and adjust on the mound, but never does.

[Save Dtieb]

I couldn't have been the only one hoping all of the runners on base there would have scored?

 

i was hoping for this as well. too bad perez is great.

[Howard Roark]

Well major changes are coming. Alex said it himself. I guess we have to suck it up for now. Literally.

 

Always wondered how that became a cliché in the first place..........in what possible context does somebody sucking something up equate to staying calm and collected?

 

Such a weird phrase to convey something that seemingly could have no possible linkage. I mean, did a high school kid spill his orange juice on the floor after soccer practice, start crying his eyes out, and was yelled at by his coach to quit his whining and just suck it off the floor instead?

 

=\

[TheEndIsNigh]

I do feel bad for him...they are people after all, he is not trying to suck, he looked really depressed when Gibbons came out.

[gruber92]

cant pitch

cant hit

half of them cant run....

 

where are the positives?

 

Rasmus has shown tremendous improvement this year under Mottola,which sheds some light into next year.

[Daniel Labude]

Well major changes are coming. Alex said it himself. I guess we have to suck it up for now. Literally.

 

When did he say this?

[Stangstag]

I couldn't have been the only one hoping all of the runners on base there would have scored?

 

I was honestly hoping for a grand slam

[o2cui2i]

Rasmus has shown tremendous improvement this year under Mottola,which sheds some light into next year.

 

ok... so we have 2 guys for next year
