GDT - Jays vs Rangers Game 1 - April 5th @ 4PM ET

[Eat My Shatkins]

Keeping in mind that the Rangers hitters suck monkey balls that was still an outstanding start by Matz

[glory]

Buntoyo loves going to the pen, so surprised he let Matz pitch to one more batter even with the lefty/lefty matchup, but great outing by Matz either way.

 

Now let's score some runs so that Milone can mop up the rest of the game instead of using any more good relievers.

[BlueRocky]

Ok, Matz is starting the 7th inning. Our coaching staff has lost their damn minds. THE NUMBERS... WONT ANYONE PLEASE CONSIDER THE NUMBERS!?!

 

Pitchforks, 1 Blue Jays way, 7:30 PM

[JFD]

Ya'll are playing checkers

[thatoneguy]

I'm liking how much Rob Friedman has posted Blue Jays stuff so far this season quite a bit...

[Jonn]

I see no reason why Matz couldn’t have finished that inning with a 5 run lead. Especially considering he struck out all the Rangers best hitters in a row.

[Brownie19]

The Jays need to throw at someone.

 

Is that you Goose? It's not 1984 - f*** off with this nonsense.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Will Rowdy ever get a hit?

Holy f*** - Milone is on our team? jesus.

[DigitalRock]

Grichuk seeing it like a beachball.

[Jonn]

Grichuk is on fire.

[G-Snarls]

I'm here thinking the team looks really good

 

And then I remembered we're adding George Springer soon

[BlueRocky]

El Captain

[BTS]

Missed most of the last few innings - why was Kirk subbed in for Jansen?

[Brownie19]

Will Rowdy ever get a hit?

 

Yeah - same with Kirk - f*** these guys, they suck! DFA them.

[DigitalRock]

If they get average pitching it's a playoff team for sure I think.

[JFD]

Will Rowdy ever get a hit?

 

He needs some Red Sox pitching to get going

[Orgfiller]

Missed most of the last few innings - why was Kirk subbed in for Jansen?

 

Jansen took a foul ball off the exposed inside of his knee and he was pretty shaken up. Finished the inning but didn't come out for the next one.

[Jays24]

I see no reason why Matz couldn’t have finished that inning with a 5 run lead. Especially considering he struck out all the Rangers best hitters in a row.

 

It's his first game of the year so you can be sensitive to the pitch count. I'd be totally onboard otherwise.

[Jonn]

Why is Charlie managing this game like its tied.

[Jonn]

Yup there’s Romano up now. He’s going to pitch tonight and be unavailable for the one run game tomorrow.

[RobinThicc]

Woulda preferred he gunned it to first

[DigitalRock]

Woulda preferred he gunned it to first

 

Might have been the better play.

[Jaysareus]

What the hell is Romano up for. Buntoyo is an idiot

[devo]

Romano only comes in if the Rangers bring the tying run to the plate.

[Jays24]

Woulda preferred he gunned it to first

 

Ya no clue why he didn't do that. Might be Bo's last year at SS if we can somehow land one of the elite guys in the offseason.

[DigitalRock]

Montoyo is panicking

[Jaysareus]

Chatswood could have finished the game

[Jaysareus]

Ya let's blow Romano's arm out early in the season

[Jonn]

This dude is going to burn out the bullpen by June. Even in a game his starter pitched into the 7th he’s still going to use 4 pitchers.
