GDT: BlueJays @ Bosox game 3/4

[Abomination]

He'd probably average 130 walks a year with a robotic strike zone.

 

I'm 100% in favour of finding out.

[Orgfiller]

It may have been a ball just barely but that pitch is just too close to take for Smoak.

It was a ball, but he was gifted one earlier in the at-bat. Too close to take.

 

As far as the umps go, if you're gonna make a bad call, don't have rabbit ears.

[Ex Player]

There's no way he's more than 190

BR has him listed at 200lbs, which is laughable

[Ex Player]

That was our chance to win the game

[Jimcanuck]

FG has Biggio at 200 lbs, and Vladito at 200 lbs. Suspect.

I'm nervous about Giles here

[Deadpool]

10 pitch AB = good. Striking out when 0/10 pitches were in the zone = bad.

Lol exactly. It was the worst, good at bat I've ever seen.

[Terminator]

Come on Giles! Throw a good inning here

[tbad]

Those breaking balls are f***in nasty tho... hard to take

[Orgfiller]

I wonder if it's the odd Fenway camera angle, but Giles' slider is sweeping more than usual as opposed to the more common 12-6 ish movement that we're used to seeing from him.

[jaysguy44]

Weak hit

[Abomination]

FG has Biggio at 200 lbs, and Vladito at 200 lbs. Suspect.

 

MLB lists Biggio at 200 and Vladdy at 250.

 

Here's the respective pages if you're interested:

Well, that's not good

[bones10]

Montoya actually broke giles just in time for the deadline

[LGBJ29]

his stuff looks fine, a couple singles and a walk isnt ideal but this could be worse

[Terminator]

Does he look like he's laboring to anyone else? Or is it just me? Seems to be hanging his arm a lot and taking extra time between pitches but I could be seeing things.

[Slade]

It's no big deal, he just has to show he is back to his dominant self between now and July 31st, oh and hopefully not hit the IL.

[Spanky99]

Nice play by Vladito, saved a run.

Muscle weighs more than fat /s

[gruber92]

His command is off a bit, but that's to be expected. I'd like to see some more 98's though. His fastball seems to have sat at 96 that inning.

[jaysguy44]

Good recovery by Giles, couple big pitches to 2 elite hitters.

[glory]

Hopefully Giles is healthy enough to pitch tomorrow and Friday.

[Terminator]

Hopefully Giles is healthy enough to pitch tomorrow and Friday.

 

Will need him to protect a 3 run deficit.

[Orgfiller]

Amazing game from Teoscar.

[tbad]

Amazing game from Teoscar.

 

He definitely has flashes, but dude will never be consistent...

Consider pinch hitting for Vlad
