GDT Game 3/3 Jays @ Bosox Rubber-Match

[Carlos Danger]

We don’t say that name around these parts.

 

Funny thing is, a few years ago a LOT of posters on here were saying SRF will be a stud and Romano will be toiling in AAA or driving for UPS... I guess Romano has won the survivor series so far..

[Jonn]

SRF had potential as a reliever but his velocity has fallen off a cliff. One of the most disappointing prospects in recent memory for me. Advanced command in high school and it seemingly got worse as his pro career went along. I thought at worst he would be a late inning reliever.

[EdwinsParrot]

the Vlad and grichuk abs..yikes

[DigitalRock]

Too many strikeouts man, boring.

There's still a bit of hope. In terms of stuff, pedigree, and problems he is basically at the same stage as Touki Toussaint, who just dummied Toronto.

[Jonn]

We might only get one week of late season Grichuk this year.

Kyle Drabek V 2.0

[BlueRocky]

He threw 135.2 in 16, 150.1 in 17 and 174.2 in 18. He had injury issues last year and early in his minor league days. He's still only 26 years old.

 

He hasn't done it in the majors. I'm not saying he CAN'T be a good starter, I'm saying Borucki in the bullpen is not the worst idea based on his injury history.

A lights-out lefty multi-inning reliever has value too, it's not a death sentence.

[Slade]

I'm thrilled to see these starters actually getting multi innings, no reason to limit them to 1 inning per appearance.

[Spanky99]

Nice play Vladdy.

[DigitalRock]

Kyle Drabek V 2.0

 

Seemed to have a s***** attitude too.

[Orgfiller]

Hatch is racking up the swings and misses. Vlad having himself an inning defensively.

[dineke]

defensive first baseman vladdy guerrero

[BlueRocky]

Vladdy for Gold Glove

[Spanky99]

Vlad's made 3 really good plays this game, good to see.

[DigitalRock]

Vladdy for Gold Glove

 

Golden Chicken.

[Orgfiller]

They said Hatch's changeup was the key to him turning it up a notch but his slider has been a problem for hitters.

[Deadpool]

I'm thinkin' pitch out first pitch here...

[DigitalRock]

Holy crap Moreland can F off.

[Orgfiller]

Son of a bitch. f***ing Moreland again.

[Deadpool]

Oh f*** right off.

[Omar]

welp....

[Slade]

Oh well...

[Spanky99]

lol... Faaaaaaack!!! Moreland torched us again.

[TheDragon]

Team can't score more than 3 runs, can go f*** themselves... also why does Hatch get 2 innings but not Burucki?? wtf

[BlueRocky]

I blame Yamaguchi.

[bones10]

we've been blown out once all year, it would be really nice if the sticks can do something for once .

[goldbug103]

I blame Yamaguchi.

 

Difference in this game: Red Sox 1st baseman can hit homeruns. Ours can’t get the ball out of the infield. This team needs better production out of 1st base. Your 1st baseman can’t OPS 650 and expect to compete.

[Plat]

ahhh another heartbreaker

[KevinGregg]

Back to back errors by the pitcher today. Still not on the level we need to be, but lots of things are starting to click. We need the team to take a few more steps in the right direction before the end of september
