GDT: A's @ Blue Jays (Game 3 of 3) April 28th 13:07 EST

[saskjayfan]

let's go steady freddie!

[Deadpool]

Perfect time for a bunt, they'll never see it coming!

[Pinkfloid]

How can they justify that call??? Clearly off the base and not even close.

[TheHurl]

that should have been the McKinney AB.

[Stangstag]

Replays are always gonna be inconsistent until they have a PERMANENT umpiring crew doing the replays all season. Some umpires choose not to enforce the rules and some are blind

[Barkerfan23]

Hanson and Galvis have the same hair style

[Abomination]

If an umpire ignores the rules (especially in a case like a video review where there's clear evidence), that's effectively game fixing and they should be banned for life (and fired).

they also have the technology to count spin on a ball...but not to zoom in on base at the same time as viewing when a ball is caught. MLBAM should have the ability to get up to 99% correct on the calls. In the end it's s***** AB by McKinney which is what the focus truly should be on.

[Deadpool]

That was a dirty pitch, damn.

[TheHurl]

Hanson and Galvis have the same hair style

 

Racist

[el duque]

Is Vladito that slow that Montoyo takes him out of the game at 9th inning all the time?

[Jaysareus]

Now they don't have Guerrero for extra innings

[Jay Train]

Wow, finally an ad showing the young stars.

[Jaysareus]

No Guerrero has decent speed no need to take him out

[Stoneyen]

Yeah I think hate the pinch run for Vlad there

[Abomination]

I understand taking him out with none out, but I don't like it with one out.

[DigitalRock]

Montoyo again with a bad move...Vald should not been taken out. He's not that slow is he?

[BTS]

Someone take that candy from Vlad.

[TheHurl]

If there was a close play at 2nd there would have been outrage on not pinch running Vlad

[Orgfiller]

Historically heavy into analytics Oakland bunting with a high OBP player. Maybe it's not just Montoyo who's an idiot?

[DigitalRock]

Disagree...We understand he is not a speedster but taking him out there is bad. He isn't that slow.

[Jaysareus]

Montoyo is going to have to learn to keep vladdy in in situations like that. His bat is far too valuable

[glory]

I have no idea why Vlad was taken out there unless he’s still not 100%. He was on 1st with one out.

 

How old is Ned Yost? I’m just going to assume him and Montoyo either grew up together or are actually related. I like that theory better than actually trying to place logic in some of these decisions.

Montoyo has been a disappointment so far imo...long season though hopefully he gets better. I thought he was an analytics guy?

[Orgfiller]

Pannone just blew a 92 mph fastball on the inside to Matt Chapman.

[saskjayfan]

wtf was that 92 down the middle....keep it away

[TheHurl]

if he was a defensive whiz I'd agree but he's 7 PA's away from being a factor in this game with his bat and it's 1 PA with a slightly higher WE with him hitting over Hansen. You're being blinded by the newness of Vlad.

[Orgfiller]

f***, come on Alfonso Marquez, you've been good all game, you gotta give us that one.

But...But I like the new smell.

[Orgfiller]

Yes Pannone! What a stud.
