Explosion GDT (Game 3/3): Toronto Blue Jays @ Seattle Mariners (3:40 PM ET)

[THANOS]

Stroman's problems are between the ears. He has less sense for pitching than any Jays pitcher I remember seeing.

 

Very true. He used to have a good idea before he was called up, hell, even if 2014. It wasn't until Buerhle got in his head about pitching to contact that he started pitching bad. He stubbornly fell in love with the sinker and stopped caring about the strikeout. Since the end of July though, Martin and Walker seem to have got him back on track with the odd mental blunder over pitch selection.

Nice AB Smoak.

[KevinGregg]

Huge BB

[saskjayfan]

come on pompey...let's roll

[gruber92]

Hit and run now.

[jaysguy44]

f*** you Pompey

[GoJays1562]

A promising inning turns to 2 outs.

[Angrioter]

DFA Pompey

[intentional wok]

Hit and run now.

 

Meatball on the steal too.

 

Just swingggggg.

[candymartinez]

f***

[gruber92]

I really hate Gibbons so much.

 

After the visit to the mound, Gibby should have put on the hit and run. You know you're getting a fastball for a strike in that situation, and Pillar got a perfect pitch on the outer half to shoot the other way.

[KevinGregg]

That's like travis' first walk from the leadoff spot I think

[Omar]

JD hero time, right here, right now!

Pillar just put himself in a two-strike count to watch the SB attempt play out.

 

Pompey still couldn't make it happen despite the wildish throw.

[KevinGregg]

The knock down fastball

[EdwinsParrot]

Ugly. Just 2 hits..

[gruber92]

Horrible AB's today. JD swing 2-1 ffs.

[KevinGregg]

Waiting for some 9th inning magic at our 2nd home stadium. I like it

[Floortom]

Pompey would have had to steal another two bases for us to get a run anyway

It was really unlucky as the throw sailed to the second base side and Cano tagging Pompey's leg.

[RealAccountant]

If the Sox win today it's pretty much over

[BigCecil]

Frustrating. Some hard hit balls but only 2 hits. Brutal. Yesterdays outburst was a mirage so far. I really thought they would come out ripping today. Felix has been s*** lately.

[ChrisS]

We aren't catching them either way

[Omar]

Still can't understand why Gibbons wouldn't leave yesterdays lineup intact. Chemistry.

[AnthonyWeinersWeiner]

Felix HAS been s*** lately, but of course, the Jays show up and he's suddenly back to being the ace King Felix.

[Grant77]

I don't get why they didn't put Jose at 1B and Pompey in RF. We'd have better D.

[RealAccountant]

It's not like you can put anyone at 1B

[Belliss101]

How's the write up going for your implosion thread, olerud?

[GoJays1562]

Come on need some magic.
