HOME OPENER GDT: T-Bay Rays @ Your Toronto Blue Jays - Odorizzi v Dickey - 7:07 PM ET

[LOVethISTEam]

It's true though, Edwin was 50/50 to strike out. Either he strikes out or he doesn't. That's how it works, right?

[Statman]

2 of those Ls have come from teams scoring on a wild pitch, hbp, and walking in 3 runs now

 

Yup. Some bad luck and the low probability of walking in runs has us at 4-3 instead of 5-1 and we haven't seen anything close to the best out of our 3 best positional players and arguably our best hitter (Encarnacion).

Something like that lol

At least TheHurle and BTS had a good time at the game...that's one positive for this board.

Season is over! Fire everyone! Trade Bautista, Donaldson, Encarnacion, and bring in some gritty veterans to the ball club! Who cares about talent when you don't play the game the right way and have the will to win.

Only highlight of the home opener for me:

[Daniel Labude]

I won't action this request because it's too stupid... there's been how many games?

 

I guarantee you Gibby wasnt looking at career stats when making a decision...thats only for comp nerds who dont understand in baseball every game/at bat is diff

[jaysfan2014]

Geez, people, it's only one game! If you want to see teams in trouble, look at the Brewers, Twins, Marlins.. even the White Sox have been awful to start. And Odorizzi is actually quite good.. as I've said, this may be his breakout season. But will he get enough run support?

[intentional wok]

50/50 to K, 50/50 to walk, 50/50 to foul it off, 50/50 to HBP, 50/50 to watch a wild pitch go by...

 

Yeah well, he's a knuckleballer. That's kind of his gig and it comes with the territory. So saying it's "unforgivable" is just plain dumb.

 

No, it isn't. You could make the same argument for any pitcher. "He's got great stuff but needs to harness it; walking 8 guys just comes with the territory!" Dickey handed the other team two runs when he was nearly out of the inning. He put himself in position to make it much worse several times, too.

 

Higher standards would do you well. Manners too.

Oh thank god, nevermind then guys the loss is no big deal. Ordorizzi is a breakout candidate according to jaysfan2014.

Season is over bro, my psychotic sock puppet told me.

We've got it backwards this whole time. Instead of giving Navarro away to the Diamondbacks, we should swap the rest of the team with the Diamondbacks' and bring them here to join Navarro!

[ElNik2013]

Pompey having a hard time with the outside pitch....this super scout thinks.

[Daniel Labude]

You realize you asked me for his YTD K% numbers on 3-2 counts right? That's like 4-5 ABs. Good sample-size to base your decisions off!

 

KingKat thanks you for this post? Daf***?

 

Good for you...in baseball the last few at bats are more important to the moment then the previous 10000. I have been around the majors my whole life, from World Series winners to current major leagues to minor leaguers and everything in between. I lnow the game better than most. Dislike my opinion if you want, but I know what is going on from the players to the coaches.

Lol

[JFD]

the Jays are highly skilled but have too many flaws. sort of like the Leafs. why you build teams like this Toronto?

[Daniel Labude]

You just went full retard. Never go full retard.

 

Its not my problem you are a mental midget, good day

 

 

Go Blue Jays

The Jays are a lot better positioned to win than the Leafs.

Not sure if serious.

 

Awkward defeated reply is awkward.

 

If I were ever asked to sum up the internet to a space alien, I'd just point to all of ODoyle's posts on this page.

[saskjayfan]

Jays are currently holding down the 2nd wildcard....let's go bluejays!

[ElNik2013]

Reyes is such a hacker.

[theblujay]

Everyone but Bautista was a hacker today

[saskjayfan]

Reyes is such a hacker.

 

a career .292 hacker and .444 hacker this year...hacker indeed

[saskjayfan]

we should look up the Edwin sucks threads from april last year

[ElNik2013]

a career .292 hacker and .444 hacker this year...hacker indeed

 

 

It's all good, once a hacker always one.

[Stangstag]

Once Bautista/Edwin/Donaldson get going, this team will be a powerhouse

[Daniel Labude]

Once Bautista/Edwin/Donaldson get going, this team will be a powerhouse

Hopefully starts tomorrow

[TheHurl]

You all be happy to know that I still refused to openly cheer the Rays, just because it's the opener (and although I think I would have been okay tonight, generally it would open me up to getting the s*** kicked out of me). I went in my Bisons t-shirt as I did last year as well. I did fist pump on the strike em out, throw em out DP though. Really dead crowd there tonight.
