GDT 1/3 | Blue Jays (4-3) vs. Athletics (4-3) | April 15 — 7:07 PM

Gotta go 5, no?

 

Does it default to the first reliever if starter doesn't go 5?

Wait Mayza was first.

 

So the winner is the active pitcher with the lead at the end of 5th inning assuming there is no tie later on?!

What a weird rule lol.

I thought it used to but now I think someone was saying there’s discretion. So maybe bc Cimber pitched the most in relief and higher leverage they give it to him?

[connorp]

That was would make the stat less useless lol

Hmmm I think the scorer has discretion there to pick the non starter who had the most impact. Wins are dumb as s*** though

Maybe if you mean in the case of Jacob Degrom type scenario but if they’re picking which RP had the most impact on the game, it’s a bit more meaningful. Perhaps more so than saves

[connorp]

I didn’t know this was a thing until someone posted it last week

[Eat My Shatkins]

We're gonna need the offence to go off tomorrow i think.

 

You'd think, but many of us thought that today too.

[Grant77]

I was expecting a disaster behind the plate tonight with Zack Collins, but he was pretty decent. I'm comfortable with him starting 2 games a week for now if he plays like this.

[Laika]

Yeah he looked fine. Maybe the D isn't as bad as the MLB level defensive stats have been

[Krylian]

True. But I don't feel comfortable tempting fate.

[TwistedLogic]

My live attendance win streak somehow continued through a Ross Stripling start where the lineup also featured appearances from Tapia, Collins, Biggio and Zimmer.

 

Also going to tomorrow's game. Let's see if I can survive new Ryu.

[DigitalRock]

Tapia is leadoff today, how long before Collins in cleanup lol.

[Deadpool]

So, we still on "Chuckles doesn't make these calls, the front office does"?

 

'cause like... How can they be so bad at lineup construction while being so good at roster construction?

[Spanky99]

Tapia is leadoff today, how long before Collins in cleanup lol.

 

Yikes.

[THANOS]

Yikes.

 

I'm guessing it's not necessarily Charlie's decision.

 

That said, at least the argument could be that Tapia has a decent OBP in his career plus speed. He's basically a Ben Revere type.

 

I mean, Vlad, Bo, Kirk, Espinal and LGJ are better choices lol, but still, I guess maybe they don't want to move the others around.

Why does Springer need a day off today? Let him DH

[Stangstag]

He’s already DH’d twice too… something might be up

[Terminator]

I like giving Springer plenty of rest after last year’s debacle of a season. Day game after a night game makes sense. He can pinch hit if needed.
