Toronto Blue Jays (Drew Hutchison) (79-59) vs Boston Red Sox (Joe Kelly) (65-73) GDT

If Loup is in there for Bradley only I like the move. Gibbons will leave him in there though, probably.

[el duque]

Loup is going, we may have a chance

[nextyear]

Yes, Loup gets an out and is out of the game. Good to see Hendriks out there.

[burlingtonbandit]

Nice job using relievers the way they are supposed to be used. Hopefully that shuts a few people up on here.

[Effit]

Jays have to play Boston yet again this year. Nice.

[gruber92]

the sabermetric folk on this forum will say he's our best pitcher after Price

 

True, they were saying that.

Well, at least Loup is being limited to one point relief as he should be.

 

Nice to see Hendriks afterwards and not Tepera as well.

[Followthelight]

True, they were saying that.

They are clearly idiots lol.

[NaturalGrass]

Guys Hutch is 13-3

 

remember what zaun said!

 

If all he did was pitch at SkyDome (despite his record being what it is in large part due to run support) I wouldn't have a problem with him getting the ball.

[rydermike]

Hendriks is 4-0. All he does is win. Zaun probably thinks he should be our #1 starter

[EMK19]

With Price going tomorrow?

 

And I wouldn't say that our pen has been even been remotely close to being overworked either... at least not our main pen guys.

 

Girardi is going overboard in that sense but conversely I feel that Gibbons is being too conservative with it.

I like analytics and think they are an extremely helpful and useful resource. But its annoying that some posters seem to think the numbers tell the whole story and are never flawed. Hutch it a perfect example. He may have a decent K to walk rate but his BABIP against is high because he simply misses his spots too much and makes too many mistakes

If Hutch is our second best pitcher, then this would have to be the worst rotation in MLB history.

If martin's not healthy ..navarro should be playing and give martin a rest and hope he recovers enough to play in a couple of weeks ..as he is now..he's hurting the team.

[burlingtonbandit]

Hendriks hung that

[LGBJ29]

well this is fun

[gruber92]

f*** off.

[Effit]

Well, just gotta hope the Yanks lose.

Navarro has been the worst hitter on the team. Not sure why people love him.

[Followthelight]

Jays have looked bad this series in almost all aspects.

Yeah he was definitely hurting the team with that laser to gun down Castillo last night in the 9th.

[The Analog Kid]

Of course it would have to be the sox to cool off the jays.

[gruber92]

Yeah he was definitely hurting the team with that laser to gun down Castillo last night in the 10th.

 

It was the ninth.

[Followthelight]

Still only the fourth ugh.

[thatoneguy]

This team has looked pretty shaky in a number of games recently, not exactly what you want heading into NY for 4 (i.e. likely the most crucial series of the season).

[TilsonBritoFan]

the monster is really f***ing us over this series. Their OF have the angles figured out, ours don't. Their OF are turning our doubles into singles. We aren't able to do the same to them.

[labadee]

this game isn't over until it's over. go jays!

[EMK19]

Even Hendriks is coming back down to earth as of late it seems.

 

Just gonna have to cheer for Orioles to pull one off today. Hopefully even if they lose they at least threaten enough for Girardi to use Bet/Miller again.
