GDT: Jays @Rays game3/3

[Orgfiller]

Are you f***ing kidding me Forsythe?

[BlueJays]

Forsythe !

[John_Havok]

Are you really hating on Jose's pitch recognition?

 

No, but he had no intention of swinging at the first pitch no matter what it was - could clearly tell that by his body language. And not surprisingly it was the best pitch he saw to hit. Sure that third strike was questiinable, but that was a poor approach in that AB.

 

If he wasn't looking fastball in the middle of the plate to swing... what was he looking for?

[Dylan]

nice catch pillar!

[Hal Johnson]

JD smashes it right at the guy. Forsythe dribbles it through. f***.

[Jonzo]

Wow that was smoked

[Hal Johnson]

Willie Pillar!

Not sure, but I guess you could teach him a thing or two.

[jays4life19]

Nice pitch!

[THANOS]

Beautiful Stro, let's keep that up! An 0-2 breaking ball, who would have thunk it.

[Orgfiller]

Longoria has looked awful for a while. He might be done as well. (Not that I mind when he plays the Blue Jays)

[Hal Johnson]

Pete Walker is pissed about that K.

[John_Havok]

Not sure, but I guess you could teach him a thing or two.

 

Because nobody who hasn't played major league ball could ever have a clue on a good approach?

 

Not saying anything about him overall, just that particular AB was poor.

[RealAccountant]

Walker to Stroman "what you trying to prove with that k"

[THANOS]

Pete Walker is pissed about that K.

 

You know it lol.

[THANOS]

Stro's throwing some 4SM today, which is great to see.

[Orgfiller]

Souza clearly doesn't like the fastballs up, let's make use of that.

[Praxis]

Walker: Listen Stro, just pitch to contact OK?

 

Stro: But-but-but I can strike players out t-

 

Walker: Just pitch to f***ing contact or you'll get the Hutchison treatment, OK?

 

Stro: Yes boss.

[Effit]

Different look for Stro, with the socks.

The "Yes boss" line makes it seem like this conversation could have happened in the 1940s LOL.

[KinofChaos]

Stro looks so much better when he uses the 4 seamer and more breaking balls...his approach early this season was been puzzling.

[THANOS]

Different look for Stro, with the socks.

 

And plenty of 4SM fastballs in place of 2SM! Encouraging so far.

[Daniel Labude]

Beautiful Stro, let's keep that up! An 0-2 breaking ball, who would have thunk it.

 

I'm surprised he went with the curveball instead of the slider

[Jonzo]

NO.

[Effit]

Ump almost had a seizure on that strike call.

[Dylan]

nice pitch

[KinofChaos]

Too close to take, they need to start protecting the plate.....go the other way.

[THANOS]

That ump looked excited to wring up Edwin, what did Edwin do to you lol?

[RealAccountant]

The way EE is hitting qualifying offer maybe too much

[skicross1]

That was a perfect pitch..
