GDT: Game 1/2 Blue Jays @ Cardinals

[Omar]

Really get a kick out of posters ridiculing Pat Tabler ; life time batting average .282 … from posters who have never played one game in MLB.

 

Haven't seen anyone disparaging his playing career. As a broadcaster if you watch a lot of games, he becomes repetitive.

[BigCecil]

Meanwhile, BAL throws Judge a slider right down the middle for his 2nd HR of the game to tie it lol

 

Ya. I think we are all done with "the ball" as any excuse for this current Jay's offensive debacle.

I just looked him up. Career 100 wRC+ as a 1B/OF who never hit 2 fWAR in his 10+ years in the MLB. So yah...

[Effit]

Springer Dinger!

[Horses Fart]

Hum dinger. Good job George

[saskjayfan]

Your veteran leader getting it done

[BigCecil]

It's a Festivus Miracle! Nice George. Finally got him 3rd time through.

[Omar]

Yes Georgio....I'm on the board HR contest!

[el duque]

Sparking HR

[Spanky99]

Springer Dinger!

[EdwinsParrot]

so thats what a hr looks like, now I remember

[saskjayfan]

Just s*** luck. Espi and Vlad hit it hard....just can't buy hits right now.

[Daniel Labude]

Very good swings from Vlad tonight. 106 and 107.5 MPH

[Solaxys]

He has always hit it hard this season (typically); needs to tweak his launch angle again.

He was at an allstar game once I think. Also if you check his liftetime average with the bases loaded it is a sight to behold.

[THANOS]

So strike out looking...would be much better right lmao

 

Yes it would tbh. Don't swing at s*** until you have 2 strikes. At that point fight off pitches on the edges until you get a hanger or middle heater that makes your eyes light up.

[saskjayfan]

There's a difference between hitting it hard and driving it into the ground and hitting it hard and it goes 90 feet before it hits the ground. Vlad deserved a hit there. Bad luck.

[THANOS]

He's walked and that was a strike.

 

Yes but can you make it good contact with a pitch in that spot? Maybe instead, especially with a hitter as talented as Vladdy, he meets the ball late and fouls it off, until he gets something he can damage.

Its been a week or 2. Very good plate discipline the last couple of days, then very hard hit balls tonight, next step in the progressions is getting the rockets in the air

[Spanky99]

Collins was optioned today, Merryweather back up, missed that.

[JaysAllMighty]

lets get the bats going, Berrios deserves a win.

[Solaxys]

ya no that was def a good play Edman on that.

 

Either way, Berrios is dealing pretty well. Glad he's settling in.

[Spanky99]

Why not it's on the plate? I'm not worried about Vlad.

[Spanky99]

That should be Kirk's second hit, but Arenado robbed his fat ass in the 2nd.

[THANOS]

Good job Chapman, missed that meatball but didn't swing at the junk. Decent AB.

[gruber92]

Devlin just said "the 1-2'' on the 3-1 pitch to Chapman.

[BigCecil]

How is Chapman missing 93 and 92 right down the middle 3-1 and 3-2? So odd. Late on 92. Nice BB laying off the slider full count.

[saskjayfan]

That should be Kirk's second hit, but Arenado robbed his fat ass in the 2nd.

 

Vlad scorches it and it's an out. Teo laces one right at a guy. It's an out. .620 and .610 expected BA. Kick beats one into the ground and finds a hole with an expected BA of .160. That's baseball folks..lol

[Omar]

When was the last Gurriel xbh? Seems like forever.

[Horses Fart]

Here it comes here. Season changing rally incoming.
