GDT(1/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Kansas City Royals - McGowan vs. Vargas - 8:10 PM ET

[Dylan]

Nice K!

[Flashman]

Can't count? Dusty pitched 6 innings and had bad control

 

*Into the seventh. Not debating the control...

[Convo]

Split finger

 

Ya, fangraphs calls it a change though

[kgm1]

Navarro game calling, no splitters or sliders? wtf

 

Fat f*** didn't want to have to block a ball in the dirt .

[havok24]

*6 innings, 3 walks, 2 K's, 5.87 xFIP start, and according to everyone that's as good as it gets, it has to end now, specially when we have someone's that's ready in AAA.

 

Yeah seriously. This team is built to win now, and they can't afford to be wasting anymore starts on a fringy SP option like McGowan anymore. It's Stroman time!

[Dylan]

That was atrocious delabar, play it safe you tool

[fatcowxlive]

Gold Glove Delebar! lol

[Gen.Disarray]

wtf was that?

[gruber92]

Delebar is pretty f***ing dumb.

[8D]

argh.... that was just bad judgement. f***ing throw it and get the sure thing next time. kthx

[kgm1]

I can't believe this s***

not as good as it gets.... D-Mac didn't have his slider working for him tonight

 

the big positive I take from this start is he got the job done without his best stuff

[Dylan]

Another game where we are our biggest opponent

[Orgfiller]

Nolin replace McGowan

 

Stroman replace Morrow when he gets injured in a few weeks

 

No.

[fatcowxlive]

never said demote him

 

I said that stroman replacing morrow instead of McGowan is possible

 

And morrow a proven MLB starter - yes when he is healthy

 

Are you suggesting that he has worse health problems than McGowan? The same McGowan who hasn't started more than 4 games since 2009 McGowan?

1. Nobody is denying Stroman is ready.

2. Right or wrong, the org set the bar at a decent amount of innings and a chance to win from McGowan. He'll get another start.

[Convo]

Derpbar

Another game where we are our biggest opponent

 

if we can ever have a game where everyone shows up to play it's going to be amazing.

[Convo]

Deladerp

[JFD]

I can't believe this s***

 

why you sound shocked? this s*** happens all the time...

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

This pen is really pissing me off already!

[Jimcanuck]

who knows... either of them can blow up on any given day

 

based on velocity, I say D-Mac has the stronger arm ATM

[JFD]

If you haven't seen Dredd I recommend seeing it. all kinds of awesome.

[Dylan]

well you tried navarro

[GD]

I know lol. I'll send you something shortly I promise.

 

It's fine, just wanted to make sure you got it and such.

[Atothe]

Volatile bullpen is volatile

[Convo]

It's almost like Delabar was purposely trying to blow this game.

[gruber92]

I can't believe this s***. Why do we have to make things so difficult? f***ing Delebar.

[Dylan]

Another case of gibby going automatically with the lefty vs lefty and it didn't work

[JFD]

yikes
