GDT: Jays @ Orioles (3/3) August 31, 2016

[Vialotor]

Why does this take so long to get another ump ready?

[el duque]

And getting a guy on 3rd less than 2 outs on base 2 times a game and succeeding at a 5% rate. The rest of baseball has to be at least 50% success. That's a crap load of runs we have left off the board. We are in first only because of our pitching. Dont let thE 1 game every 10 days scoring 12 runs fool you. This offense is the least consistent in baseball.

 

I do not know whether is the offense or the manager, we had the same issue during playoffs last year, playoffs' baseball is very different and scoring opportunities are rare, our team needs a strategy to score in situations like the one we just saw, Kansas city excel at that kind of baseball

A lot of equipment.

[Daniel Labude]

Completely changing uniform...Probably relaxing a bit in the AC as well.

[Vialotor]

Well I hope the break doesn't mess with Sanchez.

Yep, it's not that we need to be a Kansas City. We just need to adjust our approach and change the mindset from...HR...to single or Fly ball. That would probably at least increase our success rate.

[EdwinsParrot]

Ump with the big strikezone

[Vialotor]

Ump with the big strikezone

 

I'm ok with that with the 3 run lead.

[fatcowxlive]

Damn...you already talked to Edwin. Can I get an introduction some time. Anytime during a game works.....lol

 

No he's only available post-game on Sunday's I can introduce him to you then

[Daniel Labude]

No he's only available post-game on Sunday's I can introduce him to you then

 

Haha...but isn't that when he has alone time with Barry

[Vialotor]

Damn 6 inches off the plate a strike lol.

[fatcowxlive]

Navarro looks slimmer

[el duque]

he only has to put in play close to 3rd base

[fatcowxlive]

Haha...but isn't that when he has alone time with Barry

 

Nah, barry likes to just stand in the corner and watch!

[intentional wok]

This ump doesn't even have the "I have been calling that all day" excuse. He's straight up changing the rules of the game in the fourth inning. Just brutal.

[Vialotor]

I hope letting Gallardo off the hook doesn't come back to haunt them.

[Orgfiller]

Pillar just has zero awareness of the strike zone.

[Vialotor]

Fastball right down the middle 3-2...and he takes it, seen that so much this year.

[Daniel Labude]

Nah, barry likes to just stand in the corner and watch!

 

You win

[Orgfiller]

And that one's not a strike because?

[fatcowxlive]

Sanchez not sharp so far, probably very rusty

[el duque]

Great play Travis

[fatcowxlive]

Travis!!!! Crazy play!

[Orgfiller]

What a play man, that was fantastic.

[EdwinsParrot]

Nice travisss

[Angrioter]

The s*** version o Sanchez is here

 

 

 

 

 

waooo Devon

[Vialotor]

wow what a play.

[intentional wok]

Dear BABIP,

 

gfy

 

-Dev

[BigCecil]

And that one's not a strike because?

 

Seems to me Gallardo is getting every borderline call.

[glory]

If I was starting, I'd live 1 or 2 inches off the strike zone on the outside corner. The ump is calling that for a strike every time.
