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

[THANOS]

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

 

Let's just hope someone smartens him and Martin's game-plan up.

[Belliss101]

Zaun...that hair and suit combo...no good dude

[Terminator]

Stroman's xFIP is 4.09 and he's averaging over 7 innings per start. He's doing fine and he'll be even better going forward.

Gibbons in 3x speed

Smoak is walking a lot, improved pitch selection?

[TBJ12]

Can we just let Osuna throw the 8th and 9th to close this out please.

[intentional wok]

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

 

I'm a little shocked at people not getting this point. Why let luck have a say if you can snuff out a potential play? Ideally, you want the ball in motion as little as possible.

Why? Cecil is really good.

[RealAccountant]

No Osuna tonight? That will make it tough. I wouldn't send out Storen, rather go with Cecil/Floyd

[burlingtonbandit]

lol it has more to do with Stroman and Martin than Pete Walker. As soon as Martin came is when Stro ditched the 4 seam. 2014 he was 4 seam sprinkled in with the 2 seam.

he has a problem with his finger

1.000 Babip

Manny scares the bajeebers out of me

Exactly. BABIP is removed from the equation all together. The funny thing is, is Stro was getting rocked for a lot of tonight and gave up 2 HR while using his awful low K's/High GBs approach.

[Rusty_Savage]

f*** that curve looks good

[FrozenRopes]

Osuna heating up

[JFD]

listen to these dumb s*** fans

[Horses Fart]

Oh s***. :-(

[Belliss101]

Manny is unbelievable

[Jonzo]

He's a pretty ugly human though

[Belliss101]

Nolan is gonna kill us?

[burlingtonbandit]

Bautista has lost his arm strength. Haven't seen him make 1 good throw this year.

[CJ-Freeway]

Uh oh.

[Horses Fart]

Ffs Brett.

[Angrioter]

Where the hell is our 8 millions reliever?

[Jonzo]

Bautista has lost his arm strength. Haven't seen him make 1 good throw this year.

 

There wasn't any point to put more into that throw

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Cecil ffs

[Belliss101]

Ummmmm ump?????

[TBJ12]

WTF was that ump?

[THANOS]

Where the f*** was that? That was a CLEAR strike...
