GDT: Blue Jays @ Red Sox (July 21st & July 22nd) - SN 7:25 EDT

[Daniel Labude]

The change up threw Pearson off, got back to making good pitches after the HR

[Deadpool]

Man, I miss that "we'll be using roboumps during this season" business from a few months ago. What a happy memory...

[BlueRocky]

2-out inning ends on pitch count for Nate, ouch.

[Jonn]

Everyone lost their little boners?

 

Stupid plan to try and save the breaking stuff for the second inning vs the top of the Sox line up.

 

Nah its literally one inning lol. He pitched like s*** it happens.

[Jonn]

He was referring to the initial one which garnered a swing and miss.

 

Ah ok that makes sense.

[BlueRocky]

Nice hit by Teoscar up the middle, here comes Fisher.

 

Edit: And Fisher GDP

[gruber92]

Yeah no big deal, learning curve.

[Ray]

Aaaaand Fisher grounds into a double play.

 

Atleast he hit it hard.

[Jimcanuck]

Good to get him a start at Fenway in game that doesn't matter.

Fisher was unlucky last year (.244 BABIP). He needs to aim better.

[BlueRocky]

Better 2nd inning from Nate, but he had to dial it way down on the FB velo to throw strikes.

93 MPH on that FB on that flyout, but a good GDP. Nice bounceback.

[THANOS]

MPH are a bit down for Big Nate as well. Ross is probably so stoked to be able to use performance against Nate for making the opening day roster now lol

[Orgfiller]

Nice line drive from Danny.

[BlueRocky]

Nice hit by Danny Jansen, another one up the middle.

[BlueRocky]

[BlueRocky]

Nice ground-rule double by Bo Bichette

runners 1st and 3rd, 0 outs

[Carlos Danger]

I am watching on MLB TV.. All kinds of technical issues.. This sucks. It says weather delay, then this game will start soon, screen is flashing like an intermittent signal. I hope they get their s*** together before the regular season.

[BlueRocky]

Jansen safe on Biggio sac fly! 4-1 Red Sox.

No need to thank me.

[Orgfiller]

Get it in the f***ing air Vlad.

[BlueRocky]

They got 2 runs back. Danny Jansen hitting 9th worked there.

[BlueRocky]

Still struggling with command for Nate. Weird to see him like this.

[BlueRocky]

95 upstairs to JD, flyball out at the wall by Teo.

[gruber92]

That ball has to be caught,wow.

[Jimcanuck]

Still struggling with command for Nate. Weird to see him like this.

 

Mechanics seem loose, poor repetition

[Daniel Labude]

Bad outfield play there it looked like

[Jonn]

I’m sure once Nate is built up we will see closer the velocity we were expecting. I don’t think anyone was expecting him to be sitting 94-96 tho. Not that its bad or anything but when you’re hearing high 90’s deep into games in the mjnor leagues and regularly touching 100 or more during starts there is a lot of expectations.

Agreed. I wonder if it's mostly nerves?

We'll see it when it counts.

[BlueRocky]

He had 98 in the first inning, but lost control of his FB and dialed it down. Velo has never been an issue for Nate.

his command issues could be nerves
