GDT 2/3 Jays @ Rays, Estrada vs Archer

[Solaxys]

Didn't you hear? It doesn't matter.

 

It technically is irrelevant but I still want the best record in AL to be of Jays.

[CJ-Freeway]

Jesus H Christ

[ComeTogether]

should use cecil for closer now

[Slade]

Had Souza 1-2 looking lost and threw 3 sliders nowhere close.

 

I dont understand did he miss or did he waste those pitches? His stuff is good enough if he just threw f***ing strikes.

[havok24]

That was terrible.

[labadee]

boooooooo

[thatoneguy]

Awful, awful effort Osuna.

[Jonn]

So now we don't have control of our own destiny and Hutchison on the mound tomorrow. Just so annoying we punted 2 games in Baltimore.

Double header man. Ole' ma nature f***ed us.

[500LevelSTH]

Technically no one determines destiny, it is predetermined. We cant control our playoff positioning

[Jonn]

Its time to put that slider on the back burner until next spring training.

[CJ-Freeway]

The Ump f***ed Osuna a few times.

[baubau]

Why the f*** are people so pent up about HFA? Seriously it won't matter in the first round and there is no promise the Royals will even get to the 2nd. Even if they do its not as if this team can't win on the road. The bigger underlining issue is Osuan. He's blown quite a few and doesn't inspire confidence heading into the postseason. That concerns me more than HFA.

Nah everyone should have played game 2 than punted Sunday.

[Praxis]

Hutchinson's on the mound tomorrow?

 

f*** me, that's it. No-one who will be on the 25 man playoff squad should be out there tomorrow. No-one.

 

If we lose to Texas in the first round, fire Gibbons. It won't save the season, but it'd make me feel 5% better.

[Jonn]

Nah Osuna f***ed himself.

Osuna is definitely my biggest worry for the playoffs.

i don't think he has the option; they've been sitting dead red; that's how bradley jr got to him...

[venema20]

The Ump f***ed Osuna a few times.

 

No, no he didn't. Osuna has had awful control lately and when he does hit the strike zone it is right down the middle. This is all on Osuna.

[500LevelSTH]

Cecil may be closing before the end of the playoffs

[vdubmvp]

The Ump f***ed Osuna a few times.

 

I don't agree at all.

[BigCecil]

I really like Osuna but he is in a sustained period of getting hit hard.

 

He isn't throwing enough off speed or he is throwing bad off speed like the sliders to Souza a foot off the plate.

 

Seems to have no confidence in his change. Gibby needs to consider change to Cecil who has been dominant.

[EMK19]

Indicates to me that he's lost a lot of confidence in locating his fastball. Souza hadn't hit a high fastball all day (and was late on it that whole at bat) so there really was no reason to throw 3 sliders there. I know he's been getting hit hard lately but he also can't be moving away from his strength too much which is that fastball at the end of the day.

[thatoneguy]

This is a really bad time to have your closer unravelling.

[art_vandelay275]

Nah everyone should have played game 2 than punted Sunday.

 

I agree. Gibby knew that it was a twin bill. The celebration was going to have to wait anyways...

 

Whatever but like many said, the bigger issue at the moment is Osuna; playing the WC winner is secondary

No, cecil should continue his role as BP ace in high leverage situations. That's more important than the closer anyways.

True but the ump didn't help him on close calls

[EdwinsParrot]

Yep, not concerned about hfa at all really. Would be nice but got tons of other things to worry about before that.

[JaysAllMighty]

Ok, well our team didn't look like WS material tonight. Just saying.
