Geez.. Buehrle's getting pounded early on.. and that July ERA is regression to his FIP/XFIP/SIERA numbers.

[theblujay]

They're probably gonna score at least 4-5 so we're gonna need to hit.

[CJ-Freeway]

Holy s*** almost had a stroke on that swing

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

Get Redmond warming please. Don't even give Buerhle a second time through the order.

I wouldn't say pounded. Bunch of soft ground balls that found holes.

[CJ-Freeway]

Wtffffff

[jays4life19]

Hells Yes!

[Horses Fart]

Good thing for that double play.

[jaysfan2014]

Thank goodness for Lawrie.. just saved Buehrle's bacon there.

[Atothe]

wtf Buehrle, why is he walking more guys this year?

[burlingtonbandit]

Well that was lucky in a sense. 4 hits on all groundballs but 0 runs. C'mon bats!

[closetjaysfan]

0 damage everyone can breathe.

[CJ-Freeway]

YEs!

[Daniel Labude]

Omg....I really hope buehrle gets traded before next season.....so frustrating to watch

[jaysfan2014]

True.. but his 4.32 xFIP and 4.54 SIERA screamed regression. Just a return back to his normal stats.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

When Buehrle is off he's probably one of my least favorite guys to watch. This will be a tough one.

[burlingtonbandit]

I was expecting Reyes to be out on 1 pitch somehow

[intentional wok]

That was the most efficient 3-hit inning I've seen.

 

Let's hope the baseball gods got all of it out of their system.

[Daniel Labude]

wtf Buehrle, why is he walking more guys this year?

 

Because he is ~35 yrs old throwing 80 mph fastballs...he cant throw it over thr plate or its gone. He has to nibble/ hit the corners more so then in the past I feel.

[L54]

Little late to the party, but that was a great turn by Reyes/Kawa

[jaysfan2014]

Nice walk by Cabrera. Now how about a HR?

[burlingtonbandit]

Good job Melky. Now don't let Norris get comfortable. Make him prove he can throw a strike.

[Atothe]

maybe you're right

[jays4life19]

Anyone know the approx number of attendance for tonight?

[CJ-Freeway]

Nice walk Melk

[burlingtonbandit]

Has Norris always throw this hard? Holy 97

[L54]

And yet in perspective of the entire league it was pretty average.

 

As it stands currently, I don't really care. Reyes' range isn't ever going to get better. We know what the Jays have defensively at short, no sense bitching about it right now.

[Atothe]

Getting good pitches but no good swings

[burlingtonbandit]

I think the gun is juiced. Buehrle just hit 85

[Chappy]

1 inning in and the O's already looking like a better and more well-oiled machine.

 

You got this from one inning?
