GDT 2/3 | Blue Jays (5-3) vs. Athletics (4-4) | April 16 — 3:07 PM

[Slade]

Still feels like this is a winnable game if Thorton can keep putting up zeros.

[JFD]

OMG the ump gave Thornton that call too. f***ing awful

 

and a much better pitch called a ball wow

[Stangstag]

Good ol' Hung Jim Ryu out there dominating again. Seriously they don't have a kid in Triple A to take this guy's spot already? Since mid August of last year he's the worst SP in the league when is enough enough?

 

Tough to just punt him with the salary his owed. He'll be given a bit more rope, question is whether or not he uses it to hang himself with

[Deadpool]

He has called pitches WAY farther outside than that strikes for the A's.

 

f*** this guy.

[Stangstag]

Can't wait to see this guy's scorecard after the game

Agree!

I may be a troll with a tiny pecker, but at least I'm not racist.

What has he shown anyone in his last 10 starts to make them believe he's going to turn it around?

[Deadpool]

It was 105 off the bat, right at a guy. Despite being a ground ball it still had an expected BA of .310. Kirk will be fine.

 

An xBA of .310 on a single batted ball isn't very good though...

[Solaxys]

Can't wait to see this guy's scorecard after the game

 

He gave Thornton the strike out there to make that scorecard look less egregious.

[Daniel Labude]

Can't wait to see this guy's scorecard after the game

 

16 calls against the Jays, 1 against Oak, missed 2 calls by 5 in+

[Deadpool]

What do you propose the Jays do? Cut him and eat ~$40 million?

[bones10]

Zimmer Tapia back to back is pain

[Kordesi]

Get a couple of runs this inning and we are back in the game!

[JuniorFelix54]

I imagine you're just another millennial dipwad liberal seeing as that's always their first move to start calling everyone racists

[BuckHenry]

Actually Thornton looking OK this year .

Tabby?

Nothing

[John_Havok]

not gonna win this challenge

[JuniorFelix54]

Teams do that all the time, are you worried the owner can't afford it? Send him down to the minors until he learns how to pitch again, or at least relegate him to long relief duties to just come in for blowouts.

[Horses Fart]

Def out.

[Stangstag]

Why are they reviewing this play?

[EdwinsParrot]

Not gonna overturn that

[saskjayfan]

waste of a challenge

[JFD]

Way to go Charlie

[Effit]

Terrific!

[Deadpool]

Why is this taking so long? It was a dumb challenge, he's obviously out.

[Stangstag]

Can't send him to the minors. But yeah he might get bullpen/long relief duty soon if he continues to suck

[Deadpool]

All the time eh?

 

Man, you love your hyperbole. It's a wonder you're not more popular.
