GDT: Twins @ Jays Game 3 of 3 The Rubber-Match

[gruber92]

No one is getting fooled by Gausman's splitter anymore, so they are just sitting on the fastball.

 

Wat

[RobinThicc]

Gonna be one of those games...oh well

[Stangstag]

The pitch sequencing seems dumb today

[DigitalRock]

Teo glasses on now lol.

[Stangstag]

I don't like pitch selection sequencing so far, horrible.

 

Agreed

[RobinThicc]

Trevor richards up aka Charlie waving the white flag already

[Stangstag]

Gausman normally gets ahead with a first pitch strike… for some reason today he keeps throwing splitter out of the zone for ball 1

[DigitalRock]

Just no luck...Twins getting all the bounces

Pitch sequences today really bad imo

[Solaxys]

Wat

 

They are not swinging at his splitter - his swing/miss pitch, wym wat. Mariners have done the same thing as well. He is having to pitch more fast balls in response and they are getting slap hits in response being late to them, which are finding holes.

This seems to happen a lot when Jansen is catching.

[Stangstag]

This is just a bad game in general from everyone. Defense has been bad and Gausman isn’t sharp. Bad game calling from Jansen. Bad day all around

[jaysguy44]

Well, at least the Rays are getting s*** on also today.

[Jonn]

This game is f***ing cursed

[Effit]

Yesterday was fun but it’s been a disappointing series overall.

[Dagagad]

I feel bad for Gausman today. A combo of terrible errors behind him, every hit finding a hole and him not having his best stuff. This should be 1-1.

[THANOS]

I don't understand why teams are so easily shelling Gausman lately. Is it that easy to read the splitter out of his hand, or has he been tipping his pitches for weeks?

[Jimcanuck]

Gausman said it himself the other day, he knows the other teams have made adjustments. His turn to figure out the same.

 

Also, Jays need to trade for pitching, lol.

Lol.. You make it sound like Gausman can't throw strikes with his splitter. He has six walks all year, lol.

[Stangstag]

Maybe has to do with Jansen catching him lately instead of the other catchers?? I recall Gausman pitching badly in his first game against the Rangers, Jansen caught him there too IIRC.

[Solaxys]

See that 1-2 pitch to Larnach? Splitter. Larnach didn't swing.

They know its coming.

 

If he can throw it for strikes, then let him do it - but he's trying to use that splitter to K by sinking it and they aren't biting. Mariners didn't bite.

Manoah 1

Gausman 2

 

Been preaching it since Day 1 this year

He absolutely hasn’t got shelled today. At least as of yet.

 

I feel like I’m watching a different game sometimes.

Yeah maybe…

Honestly, that's part of what we I'm thinking too. Kirk has just been a better game caller and framer. I question pitches and setups that Jansen calls frequently. I rarely do that with Kirk.

Goddamn cursed red jerseys

They’ll figure it out, I just think maybe Gausman/Jansen aren’t on the same page right now

[Jimcanuck]

Doubt that's the issue, the game plan is worked out in advance with the coaches. And between innings.

Everyone ready to slit their wrists in this gdt:(
