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

[Captain Adama]

Lol 3rd time in 4 starts throwing 7 innings and Stro is "off to a bad start".

 

lol guys

 

Yes cause striking out 3 guys in 7 innings is really not good.

[HERPDERP]

why the f*** do they keep walking this guy?!

[Statman]

Uh, oh. It's dat 1 run game.

[THANOS]

Navarro was a way better game caller that's for sure

 

Yeah, I'm starting to believe that as well.

 

I wish Shapiro's regime took over when Stroman was in the minors. This pitch to contact stuff seemed to be encouraged the past few years and it's not good.

 

Agreed 100%.

 

His raw stuff is too good to be striking out <5/9 through 4 starts with a whiff rate less than 8%. Maybe more high fastballs are in order?

 

It is and they are. The entire game-calling philosophy just needs to be thrown out. This pitching to BABIP ******** needs to end. I wish Mickey Calloway was our pitching coach instead of Pete "pitch to contact" Walker.

[Daniel Labude]

Yes cause striking out 3 guys in 7 innings is really not good.

 

Cause strikeouts are the only thing that's matters

[vdubmvp]

So now we're going to complain about positive things too?

[Governator]

who would've thought 3 weeks in we'd have more confidence in a solid performance by Sanchez over Stroman

 

Wait till Sanchez faces Davis.

Awful post.

Yep. Bring his 4 seamer back and put a few more up in the zone, and mix in a few more bottom out and drop in curves. All sinkers down and away is too predictable, and is pretty much on Martin for game calling that way. Especially against guys who are weak up and in like Machado and Jones. Makes those down and away pitches more effective too.

Pound down.

[Belliss101]

We're up 4-3 in the 8th on the road against the leagues hottest offense...if you read this thread, you'd think we're down 8. Unbelievable. Just enjoy it guys.

[HERPDERP]

why the hell are they leaving in this guy?! its a one run game

[Angrioter]

lol wat

 

He's a raptors fan

[BTS]

Cause strikeouts are the only thing that's matters

 

They matter a whole hell of a lot more than IP. Stroman is far, far too good to be pitching this way.

except based on what we've seen today, the game should be a slugfest. We have not capitalized and the same as the Orioles.

[Governator]

Wilson has gassed quicker than a reliever in RBI Baseball for NES.

[Belliss101]

ew close!

[Hal Johnson]

Crap.

[intentional wok]

Martin put the screws on that one, goddamn it.

[JFD]

Machado has a very punchable face.

[Belliss101]

I want a Goins bomb right now!

[CJ-Freeway]

Jesus, bad luck.

[Angrioter]

Cause strikeouts are the only thing that's matters

 

The chances of reach the bases after strikeouts are very few.

[burlingtonbandit]

frig machado is good.

[Dylan]

out..

[Governator]

Gone by a mile

[CJ-Freeway]

Wilson has gassed quicker than a reliever in RBI Baseball for NES.

 

Lmao

[Belliss101]

Time for a couple of shut down innings from the pen.

[43211234]

I miss the Stroman who could K people.

[burlingtonbandit]

hes out
