GDT (3/7 if necessary): Royals @ Blue Jays [Cueto v Stroman] Oct 19 - 8:07 pm

Great game for goins

... and good contributions from Pillar as well.

[nextyear]

I can see what happened in game 2. These Kansas City Royals can really hit. No wonder they had the best record in the American League.

[CJ-Freeway]

I think Dickey in the dome tomorrow following a lot of hard throwers today is a good formula.

 

Yeah I was thinking the same! Hopefully good Dickey shows up tomorrow!!!

[glory]

Right, Hendricks was fine because the three hard hits were ground balls. Great job tonight Liam!

 

Please. One was an infield single, the other was a grounder that Smoak should have gotten, and the other was a hard hit single. At the end of the day, they were all on the ground and singles. That's s***** luck, not bad pitching.

 

Gibby's been handling Hendriks like that all year. It's ridiculous.

[Spanky99]

it's been quite the game for him. I can't see anything but a tie 2-2 after tomorrow. But Chris Young will probably give up 2 solo shots and 27 flyball outs the way I've been at predicting these things

Yer dumn.

[37stieb]

lol I can't blame him. there was a couple of hot blondes in the background I was checking out.

 

We should have those hotties up at batters eye level during KC's at bats. LoL!

[IBTrini]

Sooo...I didn't put up the car flag this morning (I take if off every night), and they win. Winless when I put it on, perfect when I don't (postseason record).

Burn it please!!!

[Krylian]

Who the f*** still reads a newspaper, Tabler!

[reedjohnsonfan]

Dickey worries me against KC's approach.

Hope the bats have another big game

 

Gotta be confident in Dickey. He's done well the 2nd half, and was looking good in Texas. In the dome, I'm confident he can give them a good start. He actually seems to gas can a lot less than people think knuckleballers do.

And you're still fine with keeping him in against Morales and Moustakas? Maybe Loup should've come in instead of Osuna? Neither of those seem like good options to me. Cecil isn't there. You can argue he should have used Hendricks earlier, but he would've been facing those exact same two guys if he came in for Stroman, he couldn't keep Stroman cause it was the middle of the order the fourth time, Loup couldn't get those guys out in game 2, so what can he do at that point?

[IBTrini]

Why are people bitching about the relievers? Who was Gibby going to bring in in the 7th and 8th? Hawkins? He's been crap for the last while. Hendricks? Just look at this outing. Tepera? He brought in Hendricks in the 9th cause there was only 9 outs left as opposed to 3 and he still blew it, if that was in the 7th we'd potentially be f***ed right now. The bullpen outside of Sanchez, Lowe and Osuna is completely untrustworthy right now.

I feel the same about the BP as well. Cecil going down created a huge hole there.

[guylaroche5]

Gibby is racist to Australians, been saying this all year!

Apparently a lot of people in here do not recognize that they are not a weak team. They can put runs up quite quickly as well. Zobrist is another thorn in the Jays side.

About time we saw an inning like this in the post-season.

[Pulk_Pull]

Bunch of wet blankets...

 

Bats were on point tonight. Really the first time the offence looked like the RS offence. Not the ideal situation with regards to the BP, but no one was overused so everyone should be good for tomorrow. One game at a time at this point.

[37stieb]

are these interviews mandatory?

You try hard CHP, eh? Keep throwing out the bait, you'll do well. There's a hook, line, sinker, everywhere.

[Krylian]

yes

[37stieb]

Who the f*** still reads a newspaper, Tabler!

 

The older population does... Unfortunately the new wave of people want everything fed to them via social media, tickers, quick tv blurbs.

Big Win Jays....lots of runs.....Stro gritted it out. Big game for Go Go.

 

Win is a win....even if its ugly. Play better tomorrow.

[glory]

KC is definitely a good team. Their hitters are good too regardless of Yost's lineup.

 

Getting this win was huge, but they need to get the next 2 now. Need some margin for error if they take it back to KC.

They are getting unbelievably blessed on contact. Their BABIP is outrageous.

[admin]

Stroman keeps winning, but I keep waiting to see dominant Stroman. Seems like he leaves something hanging almost every inning.

[Candy Maldonado]

Sportsnet's post game is overkill. Tabler and Zaun already broke down the entire game and now we have Buck talking about the same s***.

[JFD]

maybe a Dingo ate his baby.

[Effit]

Stro definitely didn't have it against a very good team but still didn't implode like a lot of pitchers do. Kid is great.

Really helps having a bunch of different pitches to go to when two or even more of them aren't working on a given night.

Oh ok, I thought you were talking politics since it is election day
