Nice to see Sanchez throw a few curveballs. For some reason he didn't throw one until the 5th batter of the game.

[Jonn]

yeah rest has absolutely nothing to do with it

 

Actually it does.

[JFD]

f*** this im gonna start drinking now

[Stangstag]

Actually it does.

 

He would've had 5 days rest anyways with the offday on Thursday. So you're telling me every time there is an offday Sanchez will be bad? Looks like we're f***ed for the playoffs then...

[LGBJ29]

Actually it does.

 

Care to elaborate? He wasn't missing any of his pitches. He hit his spots, the Astros just stayed back and drove the ball the other way. f*** Altuve just stuck his bat out there on a half swing. If he made the same pitches yesterday they would have been hit the same way

[JFD]

JD!

Sinkerballers have said for years they feel more effective when they are tired. Roy Halladay has said this. I would like to think that holds some weight.

[EdwinsParrot]

Expecting a hot streak from JD which would be much needed for the offense

you still didnt address my point whatsoever. His pitches weren't mistakes

I didn't say that. He just wasn't practically sharp in the first. Good piece of hitting by Correra and Bregman. Luck hit by Altuve. Balls were still in hitting zones.

[BlueRocky]

strike?

Derek Lowe on pitching better if you're tired

 

"Lowe: I don’t believe in that. I would much rather pitch at full strength. You still need your legs under you, and you still need your arm in the right arm slot. If you get too tired, your ball doesn’t move anymore. I promise you. They should do that on the show Myth Busters, because it’s not true."

[Jonn]

I disagree those were good pitches to drive the other way. Altuve had a lucky hit.

[candymartinez]

s*** luck there

Short rest: 3.47 ERA (48.2 ip)

 

Normal rest: 3.74 ERA (1108.1 ip)

 

Extra rest: 2.97 ERA (596 ip)

ump ruined that AB

better go back and check pitch trax again then. They were right on the corner

Well 4 days rest is technically full strength. So would like to see our pitchers throw on regular rest because they have been statistically much better on 4 days rest. Either way 6-man rotation needs to end.

[jiminy]

Saunders has had a huge drop off since the all star break

[Jonn]

Corner or not still up enough to drive the way for extra bases. Like I said good piece of hitting.

[BlueRocky]

everything is magnified if Jays don't score runs. If anything needs to happen, they need to get hot again with the bat.

 

If they score 6 runs a game like before, pitching, 6 man rotations, whatever matters a lot less

 

Trying to win 1 run games and pitch their way to victory is not their style

[CJ-Freeway]

Dumb f***ing fans

[Jonn]

Boston paid off the umps

[Atothe]

Dumb f***ing fans

 

Dumb indeed

[EdwinsParrot]

Lol fan saved by the foul ball

[43211234]

Getting babip'd to hell.

[TBJ12]

Will fans ever learn. Don't touch the f***ing ball unless you know it's foul!
