GDT Thread Jays @ Box Sox Game 1 of 4 7:30 Start Time

[Ray]

Professional hitter Joe Panik getting it done.

Teoscar is looking like a core piece with the way he’s playing right now.

 

Just add Austin Martin to the IF and Kirk at catcher, and I think we have a core right there assuming Hernandez is legit.

Ideally, Groshans at 3rd, Martin takes Grichucks spot, then we are GTG.

I love Kirk, but I'll take Realmuto in the off season and Kirk can learn behind the Realmuto!

[Slade]

Kirk should be added to the active roster now. Hopefully he is caught up with all the pitchers now. Jansen and McGuire basically giving you nothing.

[saskjayfan]

Man Dolis and Cole have been effective for us, but those 2 aren't in a hurry when they get on the mound.

Jansen at least still has a .300 obp.....McGuire has been useless. Time to bring Kirk up.

[Orgfiller]

Come on Dolis, don't extend this. Induce a groundball right here so we can sleep in peace.

[dineke]

NO ONE THROWING???? cmon man

Dolis has this...

[Orgfiller]

Hell of a job by Dolis.

[BlueRocky]

 

Let's Go!!

Tied for 2nd boys!

[Carlos Danger]

Win!!

 

 

Starters need to go deep tomorrow!!! X2

[Dokken]

Win!!

 

 

Starters need to go deep tomorrow!!! X2

 

Apparently, that's not a thing anymore (unless you are talking 5 ip / 90 pitches being 'deep'). I can't argue though: that 3rd time through the order tends to be really awful if your name is not Scherzer, Cole, DeGrom, etc...../.

[RobinThicc]

Hernandez looks great

There are no Pace numbers for pitchers on Fangraphs for 2020 for some reason.

 

I wanted to see just how slow Dolis has been relative to the league.

 

Edit: For whatever it's worth, here's the leaderboard for Pace last season. Dolis had a 26.8 way back in 2013. The last season he was in the major leagues. I can't imagine he has sped up any since then.

Like top 5 AL MVP great. It's almost hard to explain.

Dolis and Cole are almost unbearably slow.

Brings back memories of Jason Frasor

The red sux broadcast made a point of saying how slow Hatch is at least 3 times tonight.

Dante

[Orgfiller]

People need to put some respect on Guillermo Martinez and Dave Hudgens. Teoscar has been raking since last season's second half, Gurriel continues to look like a legitimate above average big league hitter, Vladdy slowly but surely is getting his s*** together at the plate, Grichuk has been good even with his latest slump, Biggio has been a stud, Bo has done nothing but hit.

 

I'm sure Dante is great and some have taken a liking to him but don't discount the work that Guillermo Martinez and the rest of the coaching staff have been doing to set a solid offensive foundation for a number of our core hitters.

[BlueRocky]

That was a god damn moonshot. I thought it was easily foul lol.

 

 

It went into outer space so they called it a home run

[max silver]

Awesome win for the boys last night, I was excited to see if Teoscar was able to maintain his gains from last year but he's found another gear and activated beast mode. Pitching continues to be great, Walker was a very astute pickup by the front office, I wouldn't be at all disappointed to see him retained going forward, he would be a nice Shoemaker replacement if he manages to stay healthy going forward.

[Sammy225]

Is teoscar our new Bautista? Seems like he dwindles away his early years, makes a small correction now he is becoming a star.

He's also a s***** fielder with a great arm, so that's another parallel.

Before Bautista showed up with a noodle arm he was a decent right fielder though, not much range as he was pretty damn slow but far better instincts than Teoscar has displayed with less bone headed plays.

To be Fair to Bau i feel like he was an O.K fielder when he was younger but as time went on it went down f***ing hill
