GDT: Blue Jays @ Rays (Game 3 of 3) July 26th 13:10 EST

[Deadpool]

Just f***ing s*** play right there.

[DigitalRock]

The trop curse strikes again.

[EdwinsParrot]

its still the rays

 

its still the trop

 

[Krylian]

Someone cue the Benny Hill theme.

[Jaysareus]

guerrero can't even play first base

[Boxcar]

Holy f*** cover the f***ing base it's your f***ing job. f***ing Moran.

 

His delivery isn't very conducive to getting to first quickly.

 

That was also totally Vlad's fault

[Deadpool]

Moran and Vladdy both sucked on that. Moran should have been to 1st a LOT faster than he was.

[Stangstag]

There’s the good ol rays devil magic

[GoJays1562]

What are you doing Vlad stay at 1st.

[glory]

Vlad diving for the ball when there was a f***ing shift and Biggio was right behind him is almost a perfect way to lose at the Trop.

[Omar]

I don't know, Vladdy instinct is to get the grounder....don't blame him.

[DigitalRock]

Vlad has been a disaster in the field so far, hope he improves.

[Brownie19]

 

You DFA Moran as baseball eliminated the LOOGY.

 

You put Cole in because he's throwing the ball well.

[Grant77]

Buck - everyone was surprised Montoyo took him on the team.

 

Grant - give him a chance at high leverage innings

 

Reality - Moran f***ing sucks.

 

He got a ground ball to second. Calm the f*** down dumbass.

[JFD]

guerrero can't even play first base

 

Low IQ but he'll figure it out

[Orgfiller]

Fisher caught a ball normally!

[P2F]

Extras.

[Boxcar]

Thank f***

[BlueBaller]

Not based on that play but I don't think Vlad is anything but a mediocre DH. I don't think he's smart or commited enough for MLB defense.

[Orgfiller]

His delivery isn't very conducive to getting to first quickly.

 

That was also totally Vlad's fault

 

I think you guys are right. I overreacted because he seemed slow to cover but Vlad has to know the shift is on there and go cover first. What a frustrating way to lose the lead.

[Krylian]

I don't know, Vladdy instinct is to get the grounder....don't blame him.

 

He's exactly who you blame. He made the wrong decision. Period.

[Carlos Danger]

So, we need to move Hatch to the pen for high leverage situations. Bring in Pearson and Borucki to start...

 

Edit to add: Anyone have an injury update on Merryweather? He was consistently hitting 98 in ST?

[Boxcar]

I don't know, Vladdy instinct is to get the grounder....don't blame him.

 

It's situational awareness

[Stangstag]

If vlad gets that ball, its an out. If Moran gets to the bag quicker, its an out. If Lowe ran a bit slower, its an out. Just some bad luck there.

[Barkerfan23]

Yep its Tampa allright

 

What a hell for the Jays, what has it been 20 years now, somehow we always mysteriously lose.

[Governator]

He's exactly who you blame. He made the wrong decision. Period.

 

 

Or blame Giles or the team for not recognizing he wasn't well?

[43211234]

Moran should have still gotten their more quickly.

[Bobthe4th]

Giles injured and we cough up the lead. Meanwhile Ohtani just gave up 4 runs without getting an out. Not my favourite 10 minutes of baseball.

[Brownie19]

I don't know, Vladdy instinct is to get the grounder....don't blame him.

 

I tend to agree. That was instincts.

 

Hopefully Vladdy works hard to get better at first. Seeing how fat he is - I wouldn't hold my breath. Trust fund baby who's success won't tangibly change his life.

[Boxcar]

I think you guys are right. I overreacted because he seemed slow to cover but Vlad has to know the shift is on there and go cover first. What a frustrating way to lose the lead.

 

I still definitely wouldnt trade him for Matt Olson+ (who would have probably fielded it cleanly and transitioned perfectly into a pirouette for the out)
