GDT Game 2/3 Jays @ Royals 8:15 PM EST

[DigitalRock]

A lot of umps are dicks about guys giving them the look. Vlad does that. It’s bs but they do it. I remember when Bautista was in his prime and he did the same with such a great eye. Study was done and he had more borderline pitches go against him than anyone else in AL. Looked like Vlad had two go against him last AB.

 

Maybe a part of that was how often he took close pitches? He had a great eye at the plate.

[DigitalRock]

Damn Freddy that was close.

[DigitalRock]

4 walks.. Frustrating.

[Barkerfan23]

Any other team would have put 4 to 5 runs on SRF today

[DigitalRock]

Lol

[Orgfiller]

Holy f*** Teoscar.

[fireballW]

SRF has no idea where the ball is going when he throws it.

[DigitalRock]

Wtf is on Solares helmet.

[Ex Player]

Time to pull SRF soon

[DigitalRock]

f*** off Buck.

[Slade]

Bichette, Biggio and Guerrero infield not something that's going to last long.

[DigitalRock]

Lol ump.

[Ex Player]

Thanks ump

[Abomination]

Lol ump.

 

Getting favorable calls in another team's park. What's happening here?

[DigitalRock]

SRF pretty lucky tonight.

[Ex Player]

SRF got very lucky there. Shouldve been at least 1 or 2 runs scored on that "double"

[fireballW]

Surprised Royals didn't come out and cause a fuss. It was a pretty obvious terrible call.

[P2F]

Guys, Sean Reid-Foley has been fantastic tonight. Only 4 hits and 4 Ks through 5 IP. 0.00 ERA!

Bad luck for Vlad there...110.2 mph out

They probably would if they were a contender, but they're even worse than the Jays so why bother

[Orgfiller]

Wow what a play by Teoscar that time.

[saskjayfan]

man Teo's D is like night and day since last year....still has the odd lapse, but much better this year.

[Orgfiller]

Damnit, I wanted to see Bo's wheels.

[Ex Player]

They're afraid of Bichette, they're pitching around him now......LOL

[fireballW]

Gurriel laying off pitches that would have struck him out earlier in his career.

[wk680]

Yes but the question is whether he is good enough to be CFer on a contender - I guess the big factor will be if he brings a big bat to the table.

Yeah, Fangraphs has him with an xFIP of 5.62 !! for today's game. I guess we can't say for sure if he just got lucky or deserves credit for getting out of situations with men on base. Only time (and outings against better teams) will tell if he is going to be any good. Seems he will get the chance at least for the remainder of 2019 season

[fireballW]

Danny Jansen seems to block everything. Pretty impressive.

[Daniel Labude]

Vlad turns a nice double play at 2B

[Daniel Labude]

I really want to see Vlad start his swing a bit sooner...he is still just slightly of on the inside pitches
