GDT - Today

[M.E.]

After day 1 I was encouraged by pen. Now, I just pray for a 1,2,3 inning.

[geebaan]

Fisher continues to amaze

[Spanky99]

If only someone could come up with a terrible nickname to reflect that...

 

Shhhh...

[Krylian]

The blue Jay's should bring in

yamaguchi

 

There's a group of guys named Jay that are blue? Cool.

[saskjayfan]

let's tack a couple runs on here!

[Orgfiller]

It's amazing how unprepared Vlad appears to be. Like he expected the majors to be easy.

 

He annihilated the minors while always being one of the youngest players in the league. It's not unreasonable for someone who's always been way better than his peers while being substantially younger to think they can do it well at the highest level.

[Stangstag]

I hate our bullpen

[Jonn]

Fisher continues to amaze

 

Lets see your Baseball highlights.

[Daniel Labude]

I think Vlad has a good AB this inning

[geebaan]

Classic. Because I can’t do something therefore I can’t have an opinion. Is this not a forum for discussion?

[Krylian]

Beautiful! Doleese!

[Jonn]

Wouldn’t be the worst thing to just send Vlad to Rochester and tell him to commit to the body and once he loses 15-20 pounds have him come back and have enough crack at it. Between being absolutely lost in the plate and grossly overweight some tough love might be exactly what he needs.

If we could send him down I agree, but I don’t think any minor league teams are even operating?

[Krylian]

I'd be ecstatic if Vladdy could have Tellez's body at this point.

[Jonn]

But your opinion sucks that’s the main problem. You have oddly targeted him and the argument that you presented isn’t even something that was factual.

Wouldn't be the worst think to send Bo and Biggio there, to work on their swing and miss and defense as well

What?

[THANOS]

Why is Romano not back out?

[Carlos Danger]

If only someone could come up with a terrible nickname to reflect that...

 

Let me put my mind to that. I am sure I can come up with something deserving...

No just Vlad. Until he gets in better shape. He can play scrimmages with the minor leaguers until he shows he’s ready to start taking care of himself. It’s tough love but might piss him off and be the best thing for his career. He needs some kind of push. He’s clearly not able to do it alone.

[BlueRocky]

Santiago Espinal sighting

[glory]

Why is Romano not back out?

 

Because "must be an analytical guy because he got coffee for Kevin Cash" Montoyo likes to have set roles for his relievers from the looks of it.

[Jonn]

Montoyo is terrified to have pitchers throw back to back days. But was fine watching Giles pitch hurt. Interesting guy.

[Krylian]

I was afraid that Doleese would have a boring inning after that first hitter. We're back on track

[Ex Player]

Houston has the CGI fans at Minute Maid park.

Looks much better than those empty seats we're looking at right now

No, all of them. We don't want Bo and Biggio up when they aren't playing good. Biggio has looked almost Gurrielesque at 2B this year and Bo can't hit cookies in the middle of the plate

[Terminator]

Nice pick by Espinal.

[Orgfiller]

Actual SS Santiago Espinal with a gorgeous play for the much needed DP.

[Jonn]

Biggio’s OPS is currently over .800 if that isn’t playing well for him I’m really excited for his future.

[Deadpool]

Slick play by Espinal...
