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

[GogetemJays]

The defence has been a big let down today.

[JFD]

And Gurriel is wearing glasses on his hat to troll everyone

[Stangstag]

Siddall is banging on the "tipping pitches" drum. It honestly could just be that. The stat of Twins players only swinging at 20% of Splitters after swinging at 70% in the 1st 7 starts says it all.

 

He's doing something that's easy to pick up.

 

Yeah it was especially noticeable on that one batter he had 0-2 and threw a beautiful Splitter middle of the plate like 1-2 inches low. That’s a pitch you normally swing at.

Piss sakes Teo

[el duque]

Teo is not having a good afternoon

[JFD]

Give him the C and trade Jansen

 

And f*** you Teo

[GogetemJays]

They don’t have enough players who get on base consistently. The averages say it all. Home runs are all they do.

[EdwinsParrot]

Captain kirk does it again

[jaysguy44]

The little/big man!

[Stangstag]

Solo homer after a double play… sigh.

[JFD]

Kirk is the real future HOFer

You are confused sir

[Dagagad]

Man, Teo is not having a great day lol. We are still in this.

[jaysguy44]

Nice Kirk, but solo HRs aren’t helpful.

They certainly are helpful

[Jonn]

Tough to think about trading Kirk right now. Bad body and all. Dude can hit.

[DigitalRock]

False.

[GogetemJays]

How so? Their average as a team is horrible.

We have him until he’s 28 too. He came up early. I doubt his body would fall apart that quickly .

[GogetemJays]

If you don’t have runners on base, solo home runs do very little. I would rather take Minnesota’s small ball than the homerun. You have to remember, the playoffs change everything. Not as many home runs, more small ball. The team needs to have a few players who fit that mold.

Lol @ this guy

[Solaxys]

God damn that was sick

[el duque]

That play by Chapman made my afternoon

[Jonn]

I just know if I had that level of talent I would do anything I could to get into shape to maximize performance. I would love to see him go full Pudge Rodriguez

[GogetemJays]

Ok. I guess it’s pretty commical losing to a team that is missing a bunch of players. Embarrassing really.

[Dagagad]

I wonder if we’ll see cotton for springer, Bo and vlad if Jansen and gurriel gets on.

[Dagagad]

Oh there he is. I don’t have sound on and was doing dishes. Maybe they mentioned he would be up lol.

[Stangstag]

They’re 13th overall for OBP and most of the guys have had rough starts. Average/offense is down around the league

This is just not true. Home runs win games. Look at any of the big world series games or WS winning teams (minus the 2015 Royals). All of the top teams are also the top homerun hitting teams.

It does suck, but its still baseball and anything can happen. Pirates swept the Dodgers earlier this week.
