GDT: Indians @ Blue Jays Game 4/4 - 1:07PM

[Orgfiller]

Why is this funny?

 

Well for one, Encarnacion is already one of the best hitters in baseball, I don't think he's getting much better than this. Then there's also the fact that he's been one of few premier sluggers who manages to keep his strikeouts in check without sacrificing his power.

[HERPDERP]

Ive heard that Archer has the best slider in baseball? Yeah dont think so. Wow from Kluber

 

best in the AL, just behind Liriano for the best in bigs last year.

 

Kluber's slider is actually flagged in fangraphs as a curveball, but even if you include it as a slider he is way behind Archer.

Edwin really shat the bed

6.2 K/9 Happ

Looks like Good Happ today

It's somewhat of a slurve from Kluber, kind of hard to classify, regardless it's an excellent pitch as is Archer's.

What are the jays this series with bases loaded? 0/6? Not even a sac fly in there lol.

Edwin really shat the bed

 

Did you see the filth that Kluber threw him? Those are not easy pitches to recognize/hit.

Nobody will ever give credit to the other team's pitcher. Always a failing on the Blue Jays. Narrow-minded analysis.

The last one was a foot off the plate and a ball right out of his hands, EE was over anxious, he lasy off them all the time. The first slider was in a good spot though.

I did and he shouldn't have swung period.

I already know he's one of the best hitters in baseball. His K rate is 20% so far this year, so yeah he can be better. Many premier sluggers shorten up with two strikes and especially with a runner on third with less than two out (Ortiz,Miggy,Trout, just to name a few). EE makes no adjustment in these situations, but the frustrating part is that he can do it if he really wanted to.

Why does Smoak have permission to swing at 3-0 pitches

[HERPDERP]

Kluber should just keep throwing that breaking ball, our righties cannot hit it

Insert John gibbons Gif here....he should never get the green light.

[HERPDERP]

on the plus side, 71 pitches already

[THANOS]

Tulo is the only one who hasn't looked overmatched by it today.

[gruber92]

If he shortened up with two strikes and just thought contact gap to gap, he would have laid off that 0-2 slider easily.

[JFD]

Smoak swinging on 3-0 is a f***ing joke

[banned]

73 pitches and 2 out in the third, Noice.
