GST: Stros @ Jays... Aug 30 - Sept 1

[DigitalRock]

8 walks brutal. Pitching is terrible.

[Ex Player]

So he needs to hit 100+ to be a closer?

No, about 98 to 99.

And on top of that he would have to get his breaking stuff over the plate.

 

Boshers now facing Alvarez, I wonder how thats gonna end

Law already throwing 96...4 to 5 puts it at 100 or 101 lmao

Lol

[DigitalRock]

Gurriel is stupid if he thinks that was intentional

[Ex Player]

Lets try this again, he tops out at 96mph. He doesnt average that (for his fastball)

[polar bear]

Law suxxxxxxxxxx

 

Does he ever.

[Jonn]

It wasn’t intentional but it looked intentional.

[Daniel Labude]

Doesnt change anything at all

[Jonn]

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

[DigitalRock]

Thanks Diaz was all 4.

The top 5 pitchers in saves this year:

 

Yates: 38 saves, 93.6 mph

Chapman: 36 saves, 100.4 mph

Hand: 33 saves, 93.0 mph

Osuna: 31 saves, 96.9 mph

Smith: 30 saves, 93.0 mph

 

So 3 of the top 5 saves collectors this year average under 94 mph

[Spanky99]

Giles against the top of the order, he's got this!

[Spanky99]

Guy's Law f***ing sucks, it's a moot point. Not to mention EP is a moron.

[Ex Player]

Doesnt change anything at all

No, certainly not. A 94mph fastball has nothing on a 99mph fastball

 

In case you're wondering, Derek Law can crank it up to about 94 to 96.

Giles can hit 99 to 100.

 

The latter makes a huge difference on your fastball, and to how many people you can get out

[jaysguy44]

Giles is nasty

[Orgfiller]

Ken Giles is absurdly good.

[Jonn]

Jesus Christ Ken Giles just throated the top of the Astros lineup. f***ing elite.

[EdwinsParrot]

Nice giles

[Spanky99]

Damn, impressive 100 miles Giles! Jays had no business winning this, horrible pitching.

Not every closer needs a heater, but Derek Law apparently needs one

[Abomination]

Derek Law isn't a closer. He's barely a viable bullpen option, although that could change if he gets the walks down.

[Ex Player]

Derek Law isn't a closer

Which was my original point

[Spanky99]

lol

[Madkenstalin]

Looking forward to my first game in three years today since I was last over. [emoji16]

Enjoy!

Guess that Beau Taylor being selected means we won’t see Maile again this season (maybe ever if McGuire sticks?).
