GDT: 1/4 Toronto Blue Jays @ Cleveland Guardians

[saskjayfan]

Runners in scoring position doomed us once again. They lowered their league worst average some more.

 

Could have won this one if Espi had lead off instead of Tapia.

[Cynical]

How many times is that where the game ends with Vladdy on deck lol. At least this time it wasn't with runners stranded on base i guess.

[Jays2champs]

There is no logical reason for leading off Tapia instead of Espinal. Serious headscratcher.

What's the name of our hitting coach again?

[Stangstag]

The difference in this game was a couple of s*** hits by Cleveland in that 5th inning…

 

Ah well. Get em tomorrow

[Spanky99]

Not bad, mid-pack... closer is ridiculously good.

 

Yup!

[gruber92]

You can't freaking tell me that Shatkins doesn't see this?

 

Whether they are pushing the buttons or not, it's disappointing that they are handling this so poorly.

[EdwinsParrot]

Even with the s***** lineups I didnt expect worst risp in the league by a landslide this season. Hopefully Teo coming back will put a jolt in to the team.

[JFD]

Not a great movie so far

[Solaxys]

We have a batting coach and a batting strategist, and neither tells Charlie that Tapia lead-off is horrible

hm.

They see it, Lukes and Taylor, have been playing CF lately. Teo's injury sure sucked. Zimmer has to be punted to the sun or used as a 5th OF and pinch run, late game defense.

Line-up's all on Chuckles.

[connorp]

Tapia just getting comfortable. Breakout inevitable

[Solaxys]

We dropped to 3rd in standings, damn

[BuckHenry]

Don’t want to make excuses , but the plane never got into Cleveland until 4:00 , players never got to bed , probably until 5:00 …, can’t expect anybody to be on top of their game after that .

They scored 6 runs man. Winnable game if not for s*** SP

JF may have over exaggerated a bit on Berrios but he’s a frustrating pitcher, always has been. Looks like he’s going to take the next step then gets lit up, rinse and repeat.. settles in at 4 ERA/FIP which he’ll probably be at come AS break.. super valuable as durable as iron horse.. but gotta deal with roller coaster a bit

[Spanky99]

Okay so Teo, went 2-4, a Dinger a BB and a SB, played all nine innings in RF... he's ready, I'd expect him in our line-up tomorrow night.

Everyone sees Montoyo's batting order for the shitshow it is but he seems oblivious.

You're as dumn as him... 4 Win pitchers sure does suck, lol.

[TwistedLogic]

Except for the front office. Which is all that matters.

 

Don't blame Montoyo, blame the people that employed him and continuously extend him.

Why does everyone have tunnel vision man? Can’t you ever see two sides to a coin? There gotta be times when you’re experiencing double and triple vision. Embrace that s*** bro

I don't even...

[Eat My Shatkins]

Lol is the sky falling? Look at all the chicken Littles panicking after 1 month. Holy f***ing s*** calm down.

[Krylian]

Decided to watch Doctor Strange instead. Looks like I made the right decision.

Most of the thread is unreadable.

[Jonn]

Berrios has been very disappointing thus far.

If that was strictly the case no manager could ever be blamed for anything.

[Jays24]

Tapia 0-for-5 and Vlad is left on deck. Brutal.

 

Vlad has been left on deck at least 4 times with the game on the line. Bo can never extend the game just to get to him and in this case, Montoyo is an idiot for putting Taoia leadoff.
