GDT(3/3): Minnesota Twins @ Toronto Blue Jays - Hughes vs. Stroman - 12:37 PM ET

[Iluvbjs]

Something is wrong with us....these are crushable pitches all series and we keep just missing them. Have to figure it out and quickly today.

 

Exactly, you see ANY other pitcher hanging pitches letter high to ML hitters and you either end up in the seats or in a gap somehwere. With these guys, they're all just either swinging through it or hitting weak fly balls. A bad combination when your pitcher throws a meatball over the plate with 2 strikes, and sure enough, their guy doesn't misss

[Corporal Valdal]

Its not everaction when the teams bats and pitching all assudenn got completely cold for not apparent reason

[BJs]

Our bats are cold, and their's are red hot.

[HERPDERP]

I think the overreaction to these last 6 games is hilarious. This is a team that completely terrorized opponents during May. Good opponents too. If you thought they were going to play baseball at that same pace the entire year, give me what you're smoking.

 

The pitching has been terrible, I don't think that's an overreaction.

[Stangstag]

wow nice play Kratz, almost had him

[G-Snarls]

What is with us getting behind 2-0 in every first inning???

[gruber92]

3 of last 4 shutouts

 

I'm just hallucinating.

 

This is baseball bro, not football.

[gruber92]

Now that's a better located breaking ball.

[Corporal Valdal]

This is baseball bro, not football.

 

What teams do you know get shut out 3 games of out 4 ? Rarely any

[Chappy]

They are trying something new.

[Corporal Valdal]

Stroman looks like a better pitcher then Happ and hes only 21

[Stangstag]

The next series against Baltimore is gonna be VERY important. We don't want to lose our lead in the division.

[burlingtonbandit]

Now that's a better located breaking ball.

 

He threw one bad breaking ball that happened to be smoked. Don't give up on the guy.

[Iluvbjs]

When you start getting shutout by mediocre pitchers, and mediocre at best, three of the last 4 games, it's alarming. Especially when you hear everyone bragging about how big and bad our lineup is. If it weren't for that 1 homerun by Encarnacion, we'd have 1 run in our last 4 games and that was driven in by a guy we just sent down

[G-Snarls]

GREAT job Lawrie

[gruber92]

Nice throw Brett.

[Governator]

I feel like I've seen this scenario before.

With the way out pitchers and batters are playing i wouldnt be suprised if we get shut out and swept the three games

[G-Snarls]

This happens to EVERY team on a regular basis

 

It has been happening to us very little

 

Relax

 

If you're going to worry about anything, worry about the starting rotation

The best teams in baseball lost 3 games in 4 and dont score many runs at times....

[Chappy]

4 game series.

[gruber92]

Where did i say that?

[Corporal Valdal]

4 game series.

 

Ah then we have a chance to hit some HRS and maybe win one

[JFD]

Its not everaction when the teams bats and pitching all assudenn got completely cold for not apparent reason

 

this happens to all teams through the season (bats cooling off). pitching has to carry the team sometimes and we don't have pitching capable of doing that.

[G-Snarls]

Excellent

 

Ground balls ans strikeouts

 

Continue this please

[gruber92]

Stroman going to settle in.

 

Let's get some runs !!

[Iluvbjs]

The best teams in baseball lost 3 games in 4 and dont score many runs at times....

 

That's true but you miss my point. They didn't just lose 3 out of four, they were SHUTOUT 3 out of 4 by mediocre MLB pitchers and if it weren't for Edwins home run, it could've very well been 4 in a row.

[SpeedyGose]

Stroman looking like our best pitcher (SSS)

[burlingtonbandit]

Its funny how knee jerk some people are. If the Blue Jays lost 5 of 6 they would still be a very good team. When you win as many games as they did in May, your bound for regression. Some of the best teams in baseball go through cold streaks you know...

[Trouba95]

Enough of this. Score some f***ing runs already.
