Let's split the series!

Gurriel at SS! Hopefully we'll never have to see Gift again.

[Jonn]

Gurriel at SS! Hopefully we'll never have to see Gift again.

 

Yea today's a big test for him to prove he can play Shortstop.

[BTS]

This game will not be easy to win.

[John_Havok]

This game will not be easy to win.

 

I took both Stanton and Judge in the Draft kings thing today... it's just too juicy a matchup not to pick on

[43211234]

I'm feeling a big win today! Series split!

[AledmysDiaz]

I don't know guys

 

Yesterday on the air Tablor and Buck said Yankees were going to "try" today.

 

 

Just letting you guys know some insiders knowledge

[G-Snarls]

All fingers crossed

 

Also hoping their bats remain cooled off

[Pendleton]

Looks like they are holding off on bringing back Bogaerts until after our series

[Dr. Dinger]

Looking forward to seeing Gleyber's debut.

[Brownie19]

Would it kill anyone on the pre-game show to talk about:

 

1. How teams typically need 8-10 starters to get through the season? They talk about how Garcia is a sneaky good late signing as the Jays used 2 or 3 starters in the 5th spot last year. FFS - just explain that teams need lots of starting pitching depth (it's not just the 5th spot in the rotation) and how they've done that by signing Garcia, stretching out Biagini in AAA, advancing Borucki, signing Deck McGuire, acquiring Guerrieri + Gaviglio, etc.

 

2. Talk about how the "fly ball revolution" is also geared at lifting the ball low in the zone (or sinking pitches) - the Ted Williams approach. They just go on about how Garcia has to keep the ball low to keep it in the park. This isn't 2011.

 

Educate the casual please. These aren't crazy sabermetic matters.

[Brownie19]

92 MPH right down the middle

 

Buck - "there's a breaking ball for a strike"

[G-Snarls]

I don't like how we do against Severino

[Orgfiller]

Beautiful curve against Judge.

[Brownie19]

While talking about his cutter/slider

 

Tabby "he's going to turn the ball over"

 

I don't think Tabby knows what turning the ball over is.

[Orgfiller]

Seriously f*** this ballpark so much.

[Brownie19]

Remember all the people predicting Judge would have a big sophomore slump?

 

K% down 6% so far.

 

202 wRC+

[Brownie19]

See what happens when you throw sinkers to a guy who golfs low pitches?

 

Tabby "that sinker didn't sink"

 

yes it did Tabby you f***tard. You're s***.

You seem cranky today, haha.

[Jonn]

Would be nice to get a cheap Yankee stadium homerun back

[baubau]

You seem cranky today, haha.

 

I think he needs a snickers.

[Jonn]

This isn’t going well so far lol

[Brownie19]

Buck - "over the past 6 starts in yankee stadium, he's starting to look like the ace they want him to be"

 

3rd in the AL in CY voting last year.....palm to face.

[Orgfiller]

Severino is painting with the fastball and pretty much commanding his slider at will. This one's not gonna be easy boys.

[G-Snarls]

6 Jays up 6 Jays down with 4K

 

Ouch

[Jonn]

[Maahfaace]

6 Jays up 6 Jays down with 4K

 

Ouch

 

Over under Ks from Severino today? 12.5?

[Brownie19]

He's one of the best in baseball. Going to need some timely hits and some luck today.
