GDT 1/3 | Blue Jays (6-4) @ Red Sox (5-5) | April 19 — 7:10 PM

f***ing Talapia hit the brakes 15 feet before the bag. Shoulda ran hard and touched the right side of first. No winning instinct Bad fish - mess you up.

 

Yeah idk what the f*** that was about

[Spanky99]

Lol who would ever know? Doctors have historically hooked players up with all sorts of stuff that isn't kosher

 

A simple blood test, and they know, stop it, man?

[Jaysareus]

Grichuk >>> tapia

[5ToolPhenom]

100 percent agree. You’re telling me Aaron Judge can’t find a doctor in NYC to just squirt that shot in the air for him when he goes in for his appointment? Judge obviously doesn’t care about winning.

 

Lol exactly. I'm surprised that people find this idea so outlandish. Like with Kyrie Irving, he said he was outspoken for ideological reasons. Obviously Kyrie could've just went to a vaccine clinic in the hood and you're telling me he couldn't find a clinician to lie about it? Get real.

[Jonn]

I know hes hitless thus far but he’s also played sparingly. But why is Tapia playing over Biggio? Biggio atleast has good at-bats has proven to be able to get on base in the past. They are probably on par defensively. Tapia drilling the ball into the ground constantly is infuriating.

[Stangstag]

Can the bats wake up damn. I legit dont remember a big performance since the first game.

 

Game 3 was pretty good but Ryu coughed it up...

[5ToolPhenom]

Are they going around blood testing players for this? You think the MLBPA is going to agree with that? You're not seeing this situation realistically.

Guarantee you there are dozens of players getting away with this already.

[Stangstag]

Its definitely a dangerous game to play. Lying on your papers when crossing the border is a serious offense.

 

See: Novak Djokovic

[Spanky99]

Red Sox continue to win these kind of games against us. Offense needs to wake the heck up. They’re awful right now.

 

22 teams are worse, mate. Sky isn't falling, s***** night though with runners on.

You know why.. We all know why

[Stangstag]

Realistically, they wouldn't get caught. Its still a gamble though, the info could always come out and they could be denied entry into Canada for several years for lying.

[Spanky99]

Term, your trolling has slipped, you're in a slump.

Seems like maybe they're trying to keep Biggio away from good fastball guys like Eovaldi? Problem is, most guys have good fastballs these days... maybe they like Tapia's defense better?

Holy cow, man. It's GVMT regulated. *smh*

[Jimcanuck]

But Tapia can't hit anything.

Because the Jays aren’t basing their decision on FG pages and sentimentality. They obviously don’t like Smallgio. Not even enough to legit platoon with Tapia or Espy. And make no mistake…Tapia suxxxx. So it’s bad.

 

But serious, wtf with the Jays offense. Garbauge so far

[5ToolPhenom]

Guarantee you there are dozens of players getting away with this already.

 

There's no doubt about it. I'd assume it's way more players than people would expect. For athletes, everything relies on their bodies. Most of these guys won't put anything in their bodies without knowing EVERY ingredient and you're telling me they're all going to line up to take a vaccine that was released within 8 months?

[connorp]

Tom Brady won’t even eat a potato chip in the off-season and that guy is getting jabbed? Yeah right. Athletes are running wild with their fake vaccine cards and only the idiots like Aaron Judge aren’t doing it.

[5ToolPhenom]

ehhh. Almost all of the countries in the world have dropped their vaccine restriction laws already since the vaccine does little to prevent transmission. Canada's one of the last ones still holding on to these laws. I don't think getting caught would be as big of an offense as you think.

Lol bro you can’t actually believe this?

Its the lying on immigration/customs papers part that would be a serious offense. Idk how you’re not getting this.

[connorp]

Well, I mean they have to with all the banned substances and such

[5ToolPhenom]

LMAO you get it, brother!

[connorp]

Lots of over the counter stuff can trigger positive tests

[Jaysareus]

Grichuk for tapia could go down as one of the worst Jays trades ever

[5ToolPhenom]

Lol bro you can’t actually believe this?

 

Absolutely. It's not every player, but there's a large percentage of players who treat their body like a temple. At this point it's a risk reward thing. These athletes in their 20's are in PEAK health. They're the healthiest people on the planet. Statistically they're at VERY LITTLE risk of having any complications if they were to get covid... Yet you think they're all eager to line up for a vaccine that doesn't even prevent transmission?

 

I'd assume the number of players who didn't get the shot is at least 10%

 

I don't see why this is a controversial opinion.

[connorp]

Yeah you saw Lebron’s Spider-Man meme. That’s what the NBA culture obviously thinks at least

[5ToolPhenom]

To put it into context. At the peak of the PED ERA, estimate are around that 50-80% of players got prescribed PED's for an ILLEGAL purpose. Yet it's unfathomable that a doctor would lie about administering a vaccine?

 

You guys gotta be trolling me.
