GDT 3/3 | Blue Jays (7-5) @ Red Sox (6-6) | April 21 — 1:35 PM

[Grant77]

7 innings… doesn’t really count imo

 

Fair enough. The question was when was our last complete game though.

[Buster]

that was on of the worst slides ive ever seen

[Signal]

Gurriel needs to slide head first, if that is an indication of his feet first slide. A good slide and he is there, safe.

[Grant77]

Boston's defense continues to give and give. Dalbec at 3B is a hilariously bad managerial decision.

[Terminator]

Even if he had beaten the throw on that slide I don't think he was on the bag for very long. Horrible slide. If he goes head first to the inside part of the bag he would have been safe.

He wears a sliding mitt, so you'd think that'd be his default...

[Terminator]

Springer doesn't look right. Probably should have sat him the whole game.

[Jays24]

Springer looking like crap again swinging the bat. Our "high performance" department seems very stupid from the outside looking in.

 

They should just hire my family doctor to make all the calls if they're going to continue like this lol.

[Deadpool]

Yeah, I don't think Chuckles should have pulled the trigger on that one. Was good to see him in the game 'cause it sounded like that meant "healthy", but he's not looking 100% out there.

[Jays24]

Marcus Stroman had the last nine-inning complete game for the Jays, a win over the Angels in Anaheim on April 23, 2017. It was his second of the month.

 

Also that was idiotic running into an out right there.

 

So they're almost becoming as infrequent as a no hitter... gotcha lol.

[Laika]

Put Springer on the DL immediately.

[Deadpool]

C'mon Vazquez, get out here so we can keep the pitch count low.

[Laika]

looking forward to about a week of George Springer playing 25% of the time and nursing an injury before something breaks and he's gone for 60 days

They just can't help but pushing this guy when he's hurt! Happened last year too

[Laika]

Just let Rocket Raimel play every day in CF. He can do it.

[Stangstag]

Its probably him pushing coaches and training staff to let him play, but they should be overruling him.

[Signal]

What a start by Gausman. You have to let him come back out to start the 9th!

 

Agree. He is dealing and his pitch count is reasonable.

 

That said, a run here by the Jays would make Gausman's case more convincing.

[Jays24]

We might get to witness history folks. The first complete game under Montoyo's watch.

 

He must be fuming on the inside with thoughts of "this isn't how baeball is played." Lol

[43211234]

87 pitches?

 

I said 100% it would be Romano but maybe Chuckles will let him finish it.

[glory]

It's been 2 games (plus an off day) since Montoyo has used Romano. He might not be able to help himself here if it remains a save situation.

[Terminator]

Just let Rocket Raimel play every day in CF. He can do it.

 

His precision accuracy on his throws overcomes his noodle arm. His blazing speed overcomes his horrible routes. He can do it.

[Deadpool]

Someone at SportsNet definitely reads this forum

[Terminator]

Pat talking about the last time a pitcher threw 300 innings before declaring "I think those days are GONE."

 

Thanks Pat, important stuff.

[The Cats Ass]

I’m thinking the choice to go with Gausman over Ray will turn out favourable

[G-Snarls]

Had to go do some actual work

 

Gausman is scoreless through 8??

 

F YES

lmao

[Grant77]

I would love to get a run here so Chuckles puts Gausman back out.

[dineke]

did the roids wear off for espinal already?

[Deadpool]

Yeah, the fact that Gausman is more than a 2 pitch pitcher tips it in his favour for me. I like Ray, and think he'll be good, but there's a lot less room for error as a fastball/slider guy.

[JFD]

You have to let Gausman finish this. Boston would happily take anyone else at this point
