GDT Game 3/3 Jays @ Rays 7:10 PM EST

[Abomination]

I think that foul ground ball might have actually touched the side of the base on the way by.

[gruber92]

You're right but the third baseman was playing shallow so unless they were going for the squeeze it's still a tough bunt to pull off when you have the force at every base.

 

Bottom line is that hitters better start to work on making adjustments because you will start to see more of these types of defenses, especially the average type hitters.

[Orgfiller]

Yeah in that situation it wouldn't have applied. Just talking in general.

 

Yeah I agree with this point, hell even a guy like Eric Sogard has failed to lay one down against the shift with two strikes several times this series. It's much harder than it looks that's for sure, also lol @ Eric Sogard getting shifted.

Good thing there wasn't an umpire in the vicinity.

[Barkerfan23]

Ofcourse lol

 

Its Tampa after all

[Orgfiller]

Typical garbage Rays hit.

[Orgfiller]

That was scary as hell, Garcia stepped on Biggio's ankle/heel running at full speed and he tumbled pretty badly himself.

[Orgfiller]

Okay luckily he didn't step directly with the leading foot, his back foot dragged and clipped Biggio's so not as bad.

[Acemeister79]

Tampa fans need a rabies shot...

[Ex Player]

Even routine popups are an adventure in this "stadium"

[Jaysareus]

Just let tampa win at this point save the pen

[Abomination]

Of course it would hit off the top of the wall. We'll probably strand him now.

[Orgfiller]

Diego Castillo really trying to save face by blaming the mound lol.

[Abomination]

It's uncanny. Pitcher can't find the zone for anyone else, Vladdy comes up, and it's upper 90s on the black.

[Orgfiller]

Yeah if the Rays relievers could stop throwing the ball near Vladdy's head that'd be great.

[Ex Player]

Of course our blooping hits dont drop

[Carlos Danger]

Damn, Gurriel was playing golf.

[bones10]

Lol theres no actual way theyre coming out of this with a win

[Carlos Danger]

Are Spanky and Deadpool passed out yet?

[Barkerfan23]

Lol what a catch

[Barkerfan23]

How many close games have we lost in Tampa since 2003, it's crazy

[Orgfiller]

That's a hell of a play by Gurriel to hold Garcia to a single.

[bones10]

why havent they brought in Giles lmao

[Ex Player]

why havent they brought in Giles lmao

They have an off-day tomorrow as well

[Omar]

:mad:

[gruber92]

Edwin Jackson is going to get rocked in Colorado Friday night.

[Barkerfan23]

How is the 2020 mlb draft

[5ToolPhenom]

why havent they brought in Giles lmao

 

A lot of these old-school managers won't bring in a closer in a tied game on the road... I don't get it. You see the same move used commonly across the league.

[5ToolPhenom]

All things considered, still probably as good as an outcome as one could expect with Snell on the mound.

 

Jays lack of situational hitting bites em in the ass again though.
