GDT - Blue Jays vs Orioles, 4/19/2016, Game 1/3

[Dylan]

can't believe we're not demolishing this scrub

 

I don't think we have destroyed anyone this season

3 runs through 4 and 2/3...

 

Hnnngghhh...

[THANOS]

Was that first pitch a 4 seam?

 

Nah it had that "come back" movement. It was a missed 2SM. Stro's 4SM tops out at 95/96.

[Hal Johnson]

EE is close to going insane.

[Statman]

Jays are only going to score 3 runs against Mike friggin Wright.

 

Just a terrible performance with the bats against this awful pitcher.

[THANOS]

Also, Martin's game calling tonight is leaving much to be desired. The predictability is pathetic. Gotta get far more 4 seamers up in the zone and wipeout curves and cut down on the sinker.

 

His game calling is pretty crap overall to be honest. The only time I've liked his game calling all season is with Sanchez' 1st start.

Velo is down this year though.

The overall timing in the bats isn't there yet. If this game was played in late May, we'd be up 8-1 by now. So many missed, crushable pitches.

[ValiantJaysFan]

EE never does s*** until late July and then he murders everything in his sight.

Stroman doesn't throw the 4 seam fastball anymore. All 2 seam or cut fastballs

Wright left about 20+ pitches out in the center of the plate tonight.

Nice snag

[Rusty_Savage]

Great job Barry

[Spanky99]

JD's so good.

[JFD]

7 pitches. That's more like it!

[THANOS]

Velo is down this year though.

 

From what I understand, it's still a couple mph faster than his 2SM. His 2SM has been 92 tonight so his 4SM is likely 94.

We know. If he wants to become a #1 SP he needs to be able to go upstairs with more V from time to time and get swing and misses.

 

His Avg FB is down 1.5 MPH from 2014.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[Hal Johnson]

Was that a jackhammer? Nice inning, Stro!!

[Brownie19]

JD's do-rag needs to go. So stupid.

[CJ-Freeway]

Haha thanks for the quick inning Stro

[burlingtonbandit]

I was wondering if anyone else heard that lol wtf

[CJ-Freeway]

JD's do-rag needs to go. So stupid.

 

LMAO I was thinking the same. The only other white guy to pull it off in a good way = Hulk Hogan

[jays76]

Great job Barry

 

Barry Davis's stock has never been higher after going years under the radar. He owns this city now.

[THANOS]

Completely agree. It's easier to lay off the off-speed when everything is low.

[Governator]

Tulojeter

[Angrioter]

Wright great performance so far

[burlingtonbandit]

At least Tulo hit it hard.

[burlingtonbandit]

Wright great performance so far

 

lol he's looked horrible.

[HERPDERP]

[Hal Johnson]
