Rays @ Jays Game 1 (0-0)

[THANOS]

FYSMC Martin..

[West Texas Forever]

Rough.

[Horses Fart]

How has Martin become this bad?

 

Un f***in real isn't it.

[West Texas Forever]

8-0 Tigers in the first inning, glad I picked the Tigers tonight with Zimmy on the mound.

[burlingtonbandit]

Jays went down like a cheap lawn chair that inning.

[BigCecil]

This team is pretty unwatchable right now. 25% into the season and barely scraping .500.

 

I mean maybe some decent hitting would mitigate starters needing to hold a 2 ERA to earn a W.

 

Unwatchable is right. And I'm die hard. Decided to take my son fishing tonight instead of watch it. Just checked GDT and score. I think I made the right call

[Trouba95]

Lol going down like flies. Last year was a fluke. I'm a diehard and I can't I'm saying that.

I see you haven't changed much

Going fishing is always the right decision.

[West Texas Forever]

Well I am glad I went to all the home playoff games last year, probably will be a long long time before I get that chance again.

[gruber92]

???

 

Back to the comfort of home after a trip usually results in a relaxed mind set, no edge.

[burlingtonbandit]

Sounds like Buck has had a cold the last few days.

[Governator]

Yep... One of those games.

[Effit]

Get the circus music going.

[bones10]

Happ is just throwing meatballs lol

[Swervin81]

Murphy's law in full effect.

lol diehard

[gruber92]

Saunders' defence is a huge disappointment.

 

Right Boxy?

[burlingtonbandit]

Christ. Get your head in the game.

[TheGrandslamMan]

Anyone else missing AA already?

[Effit]

Yep... One of those games.

 

We seem to have a lot of those.

Team is very good which is why this is frustrating. Very few teams are this stacked, but none of the big guys can start their cars and game-changing errors have happened on an almost nightly basis.

[intentional wok]

This is AA's team, buddy.

[closetjaysfan]

So i guess having JB get punched in the face didnt really spark anything

[Abomination]

With both starters struggling, I wonder if the grounds crew did something different with the mound during the road trip?

[Governator]

Just the local gyro shop.

I'm an optimistic poster but this game looks like about 85% of the other games so far, hitting-wise. If the SP falters at all the game is already lost.

 

Well, this team was built on hitting. JB was due for a decline, he's not super human, he's on the wrong side of 30. Slumps are contagious and that's what is happening. Martin's signing I never liked, JFA was insisting it was an amazing deal because Martin is a 5+ war player because of his framing. Well, he can't hit for crap and he's striking out a ton this year and has negative war. The direction of this team in the short term will depend on trading Martin/JB/EE and seeing how much salary and what kind of prospects we get back. Even Tulo needs to go, but he's a guy you probably want to trade when he starts hitting again.

[Governator]

We seem to have a lot of those.

 

Not true, we don't have blowouts often as our SP has far exceeded expectations.

[King]

An atom ball, you say Pat?

Like Shatkins has done a lot
