GDT(1/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers - Hutchison vs. Sanchez - 7:08 PM ET

[Bunchedundies]

Ugh, bad at bat by bautista, should have walked.

[Jonzo]

Willing to cut Jose slack. Frustrated plus brutal umps.

[burlingtonbandit]

f***ing umpire.

 

He's actually been really good tonight. I think thats the only bad call so far. Can't be perfect.

[Jonzo]

Does anyone find the cameraman is zoomed in too much on home plate ?

[Bunchedundies]

Willing to cut Jose slack. Frustrated plus brutal umps.

 

He's been good most of the night, bautista chasing balls in the dirt up 2-0 is the issue.

[Orgfiller]

Damnit that was ripped, tough luck this inning.

[Chappy]

Jesus.

[BigCecil]

2 decently hit balls - just right at guys.

[gruber92]

s***. Have an AB Lind.

I meant slack on showing frustration to the ump.

[jays_fever]

Miggys was obvious and he still checks yet doesn't even bother to check on Jose's

[Bunchedundies]

2 decently hit balls - just right at guys.

 

Been a few of those, not much luck

[Orgfiller]

100+ pitches, good job boys.

I hate to be "that guy", but it seems like typical treatment towards our guys.

[gruber92]

He's actually been really good tonight. I think thats the only bad call so far. Can't be perfect.

 

Yeah he has.

[Bunchedundies]

Lind that ball was a foot off the plate again jesus.

[Inklink]

Hopefully that's enough of Sanchez.

[Orgfiller]

Fack. Oh well, he should be gone or on a short leash next inning.

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah he has.

 

Real issue is swinging at ball 4 tonight. Been at least 4 of those with nothing to show for it.

Lind's been guilty twice, others were fairly close pitches, but linds were both a foot off the plate.

[Candy Maldonado]

Lind that ball was a foot off the plate again jesus.

 

holy f***

[BigCecil]

f*** I hate that RA WestJet ad!

[43211234]

That's at least 3 times a Blue Jay has swung at ball four in a full count tonight.

[Dylan]

Wouldn't mind a run or two, but I love pitching duels.

 

Especially with a guy some people (including myself) had a small concern for

[TwistedLogic]

2 decently hit balls - just right at guys.

 

I don't know if that means as much as it used to. I think Baseball is getting to the point where if you "decently hit a ball right at a guy", I don't know how much that has to do with you getting unlucky than it does with you letting the shift beat you. Defensive shifts are at an all-time high and they're being used almost twice as much as they were used last year (8,000 shifts last season, on pace for 14,000 shifts this year). You've gotta get the ball between the fielders now, the line drive out / unlucky BABIP excuse has now got an expiry date, and it won't work for many more seasons.

[Jonzo]

I just sat down to watch. Are the jays trying to manufacture runs here, or swinging hard?

[Bunchedundies]

That's at least 3 times a Blue Jay has swung at ball four in a full count tonight.

 

I said this earlier and got s*** on by some posters here, but yes your right, been a bit impatient in full counts.

[G-Snarls]

haha.....ya I know. Just a random thought.

 

I wish I could stop thinking how much better shape we'd be in now if he HAD signed Sanchez or Darvish.

[Bunchedundies]

Cannot walk the leadoff guy.

[BigCecil]

That's at least 3 times a Blue Jay has swung at ball four in a full count tonight.

 

Tip your hat...its just great pitching.
