GDT - Blue Jays @ Rays game 4 of 4 (1:10 ET)

[nmrch]

Thats a Hr in like 20 MLB parks...

 

i guess i wasn't paying proper attention, i didn't notice it was that deep and he seemed to swing at a high pitch

[gbill2004]

Cola has looked horrendous this year (including the spring), has no concept at all of the strikezone. I know Smoak didn't look good yesterday but at least during Spring Training he was able to work counts, take his walks, limit the Ks and hit for some power.

Last years success has gone to Cola's head. He probably banged Jackie Redmond too, which is giving him extra swagger these days. He thinks he's a superstar.

Rays are having trouble with Happ.. Jays have been getting their SP deep into games this series, while the Rays have struggled to get 5..

[Rajais Mitten]

did Cola turn into a pumpkin?

 

Not a pumpkin, a meatball

[havok24]

Alright let's get Tulo a sponge.

[Abomination]

These MLB.TV commercials are unbearable. I'd pay extra for an option to turn them off.

 

Lol, that's kinda an interesting marketing strategy. I wonder if it would actually work?

[G-Snarls]

Buck should also get the day off on a "day game after a night game"

[Stangstag]

Happ dealin'

[CJ-Freeway]

He gone!!

He's hungover today.

[gruber92]

Think it's time to switch Cola with Smoak now..

 

I think I might be looking for some Casey Kotchman if things stay the way they are in the next 2-3 weeks.

[Angrioter]

Colabello and Babip

[jaysfan2014]

Only 38 pitches for Happ through 3-- while Moore may not get through 5.

[burlingtonbandit]

nice inning Happ

[HERPDERP]

so how has Happ looked? Is he hitting his spots? Still throwing 80% FB?

[gbill2004]

Happ looking like a very shrewd signing.

You actually see commercials? Mine just says commercial break in progress.

Looked good, hasn't left much if anything over the middle of the plate, painting the four corners. No walks and 2Ks so far.

Try watching video highlights, you'll want to kill yourself.

[KinofChaos]

Collabello looks lost. No pitch recognition at all.

There's usually one ad then that filler screen

I know!

 

MF 30 second forced ads that you can't skip, just to see one play!!!

 

Grrrrrr

[gruber92]

Russell says "where are those pitches for Happ".

[Sorrow]

If Cola struggles for another 3-4 weeks and finally gets sent down who replaces him is the big question for me. I don't think they'd use Pompey or Lake, wonder if they'd run Andy Burns.

[Pendleton]

Liking what I'm seeing from Happ. Obviously a tiny sample size, but jeepers this team is good if we can get this type of pitching consistently.

 

common Tulo, Moore can't make a pitch to save his life and you choose that junk to swing at?

 

Yes, how dare he belt a high fastball 400(+) feet to center field.

[Boxcar]

You actually see commercials? Mine just says commercial break in progress.

 

Yeah that stupid express written consent stupid s*** over and over, and then Lorenzo Cain talking about how all he needs in life are video games and then Kris Bryant talking about how much he loves Chicago with zero enthusiasm or charisma and Tony Gwynn's wife talking about how ideally Tony would have loved to be a hermit.

[G-Snarls]

Happ looking like a very shrewd signing.

 

It definitely was

 

Great signing for the # of years and $ for expected performance

[JFD]

I know!
