GDT: Game 3/3 Toronto Blue Jays (10-5) @ Houston Astros (6-8) Sunday April 24, 2022

That late strike call man. I was getting ready to toss my whole house onto the street.

[Terminator]

Collins cannot frame whatsoever, half the time he's not even trying.

 

He's a terrible combo with a guy like Kikuchi who struggles with control as it is.

[TwistedLogic]

Kirk would have framed that low strike.

[Jonn]

God I hate pitchers who can’t throw strikes consistently. 3 years and 36 million for a project.

[Jays24]

Bo would have to have a catastrophic season at short for that to be a possibility.

 

We are in championship mode and not in babying anyone anymore. Our standards on what to expect at the most important position needs to be better.

[Spanky99]

That E-6 is already painful, throw strikes Yusei.

[Stangstag]

God I hate pitchers who can’t throw strikes consistently. 3 years and 36 million for a project.

 

Yeah watching any pitcher struggle to hit the zone is painful.

[TwistedLogic]

Pat Tabler almost willed that liner to drop for a 2-run single.

[EdwinsParrot]

Can’t even be mad at just 2 considering literally nothing wen their way there

[Effit]

Our offense better wake up. It’s time.

[Jays24]

Kikuchi should have been out of this inning 25 pitches ago with 0 runs. Sometimes baseball isn't fair.

[Stangstag]

Ooof lucky break on Alvarez there

[Terminator]

Kirk would have framed that low strike.

 

Yeah Collins didn't even try to frame it.

C'mon man, this isn't about babying him. He's an average defender statistically, he's not negative no matter what people may think, and he's an all star. You keep guys like Bo happy, and keeping him at SS will keep him happy. Exactly the same reason Jeter stayed at SS when the Yanks signed Rodriguez.

[BlueJays]

At least it's just two runs.

[DigitalRock]

Oh well, offense needs to get going anyway.

[Stangstag]

Can’t even be mad at just 2 considering literally nothing wen their way there

 

Yeah I thought it was like 4-0 at this point, 2 runs ain’t bad

[Signal]

The UMP helped that rally in a huge way....by walking a batter that was struck out. It would have been two outs and no one on. I HATE when the UMPS impact games.

Yeah managed to limit the damage when things could have easily got out of hand. I don't expect Kikuchi will be given much leash the rest of the game though.

lol

Agreed that it's early but I was already iffy on him being above average at SS so that's why I probably harp on him a bit more defensively. And he's an allstar because of his bat, not his glove.

 

We will need to do what's best for our team long term and if that means moving him to 2B then so be it. Vladdy took moving from 3B to 1B like a champ and he's nowhere near the same player.

[DigitalRock]

The UMP helped that rally in a huge way....by walking a batter that was struck out. It would have been two outs and no one on. I HATE when the UMPS impact games.

 

It makes the game worse, harder to watch..it's insane they have not addressed it yet.

[Krylian]

Just got home and turned on the game. Oh I f***ing hate Garcia's windup. WTF, Man?!?

[Spanky99]

Kikuchi should have been out of this inning 25 pitches ago with 0 runs. Sometimes baseball isn't fair.

 

Truth.

[Terminator]

Please demote Craig Biggio's son. The dude is trash.

[Krylian]

Please demote Craig Biggio's son. The dude is trash.

 

Craig Biggio?

[connorp]

Craig Biggio?

 

He doesn’t want to use the same last name. Just saying “son of”

[dineke]

Please demote Craig Biggio's son. The dude is trash.

 

Dude he hit the ball out of the infield. Progress.

[Jays24]

Please demote Craig Biggio's son. The dude is trash.

 

I can't believe he has fallen off so badly. I was never a believer in that he was an above average player regardless of people throwing his early career WAR in my face but he has to be better than this.

[Jays24]

Kikuchi going for that gold glove
