GDT: 1/3 Toronto Blue Jays (13-7) vs Houston Astros (10/9), Friday April 29, 2022

[Spanky99]

Alright, maybe this offence that looks unbeatable on paper could score some f***ing runs.

 

Good start Heineman.

 

Good call, brand new ballgame!

[Jonn]

Please heat up offense. Its f***ing fun when it’s clicking.

[Spanky99]

Collins... 6 pitches, 6 whiffs... lol

[Jays24]

Collins... 6 pitches, 6 whiffs... lol

 

Regression to the mean. We all know it's going to happen sooner or later lol

[Stangstag]

No idea. I started checking gates at like 6:10-6:15 and checked pretty much every gate.

 

I heard it was around 5:45ish they were out

[JaysAllMighty]

You thought Kikuchi was bad... here comes Thornton

[Spanky99]

Regression to the mean. We all know it's going to happen sooner or later lol

 

I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[JFD]

The nerd gives it right back

[Angrioter]

Siri is good

[BlueJays]

Thornton sucks

[Jays24]

Can we punt Thornton to the moon already please?

[Spanky99]

You thought Kikuchi was bad... here comes Thornton

 

He's been quite efficient thus far, and now another hit. I'll shutup now.

[BlueJays]

The rocket

[Signal]

Why oh why must Thornton still be a Jay?

 

The fact that he is still a Jay means the Jays could have done more to shore up the bullpen.

[Jaysareus]

Oh no Thorton

[JFD]

Worst of the Jays on full display lol

[Stangstag]

You thought Kikuchi was bad... here comes Thornton

 

The return of sucky Thornton.

 

Astros are all over him this inning… suspicious

[Jays24]

I honestly think I can throw better than Tapia... damn that noodle arm

[Effit]

Exactly what you want after your struggling offense just tied the game.

[Terminator]

Rocket Raimel with a three hopper to home...come on buddy let's get a little more mustard on that next time

Yeah he has a K% bordering 40% and a BABIP over .380. He's going to regress pretty hard, but if he's a catcher, then it's not a big deal. If he's the DH and batting 4th, then that's a bigger issue. Need Teoscar and Jansen back ASAP.

[EdwinsParrot]

my goodness what a noodle arm

[saskjayfan]

Absolutely, 12 swing and misses tells us as much.

 

He wasn't as bad as his stat line. Houston is a good hitting team and didn't miss too many mistakes. I would have left him in myself. Now we have Thornton in for the 4th. This is going to be a tough one for the bullpen.

[Stangstag]

Rocket Raimel with a three hopper to home...come on buddy let's get a little more mustard on that next time

 

Gotta wonder if guys like that (Raimel, Chris Sale, Triston Mackenzie) even lift weights at all. How can they be so skinny as professional athletes lol

[JaysAllMighty]

Grichuk would have nailed him...

[glory]

This is where the Jays should use Pearson when he's healthy, similar to how the Yankees have been using King. Just have him come in as a multi inning reliever. Thornton is not good so the fact that he can eat up innings out of the pen isn't necessarily helpful.

[Angrioter]

Thornton is fine.

[Terminator]

Maybe with two strikes Tilapia could shorten up a bit? He swung his helmet off his head on a pitch in the dirt lol

[Solaxys]

Maybe with two strikes Tilapia could shorten up a bit? He swung his helmet off his head on a pitch in the dirt lol

 

He's doing his best imitation of Bo.

 

Yay Espinal.

[JaysAllMighty]

Why pitch to Springer when you got Bo next.
