GDT 3/3 | Blue Jays (34-24) @ Tigers (24-34) | June 12 - 1:40 PM ET

I sure wish the Jays had more swing and miss in their bullpen

 

0-2 right away on Cabrera and he can't finish him after 8 pitches

 

EDIT: Nice, got him on the 9th

 

Miggy still has decent contact ability and eye. Power is pretty much gone but he can still limp noodle his way to contact and a walk

[Eat My Shatkins]

Nice to see Biggio coming around finally

[DigitalRock]

Beauty biggio

[Omar]

So happy for Biggio.

[John_Havok]

No reason to be using Romano here, I don’t care if he hasn’t pitched since Tuesday. Let Thornton finish

[Daniel Labude]

RHHs not going to get fastballs lol. They all were up there looking for it

Yeah, was plainly obvious he was never going to see a fastball on the plate. He was just impatient

[Daniel Labude]

Wow, great play by Vlad at 1B to avoid the runner and stay on the base

[Daniel Labude]

Yeah, was plainly obvious he was never going to see a fastball on the plate. He was just impatient

 

Springer never got a ball over the plate missed 3 curves. Bo never got a ball over the plate and grounded out on a low curve. Vlad got 2 curves over the plate, 1 low and in and the other a hanger he fouled, then missed the curve down and away. So obvious what they all were doing

[EdwinsParrot]

gg boys

[John_Havok]

Yup, won the series, that’s all you can ask. Now let’s 3 of 4 from the Os and at least 2 of 3 from the Yanks.

[Omar]

Chicken Strip.....solid

Vladdy.........hit a bomb

Biggio.....two doubles

Moreno....doesn't look out of place with the big club.

Big series with the Yanks

[Stangstag]

Yeah its a bit unfair to expect the Jays to sweep every weak team. That’s just not how baseball works.

 

On the other hand, everyone thought we’d lose the series against the Angels and look how that went.

 

s*** happens. Just keep winning series. Gotta play tough against the Os and Yanks this week.

[Solaxys]

[Jonn]

So happy for Biggio.

 

He’s got a .365 on base and is hitting 9th. Anyone complaining about him is a very stupid person. He hasn’t shown the Homerun stroke yet but we know its in there.

[glory]

Stripling resembling the Dodgers version of him pre-2020 is a nice surprise so far. Hope it continues. Contract Year Strip wants to get paid.

[WryNGinger]

Stripling is Matz-ing this year. I won't mind seeing him get paid. He is doing exactly what we needed him to do this year.

Well, not really for the home run part. He had fringe power always so maybe if the baseball is depressed he's just a doubles hitter for the most part. That's fine though.

[Dokken]

 

And he only required 74 pitches. His previous game, he went 5.0 ip with 1 H, 0 BB, and 0 ER. And in that case only 56 pitches. If he keeps this up, Ryu will end up in the BP (assuming he comes back this season).

Nothing wrong with that. It won't be here though.

...or at all.

[Laika]

Yeah I guess it's Ryu vs. Kikuchi when/if Ryu returns

 

Stripling is the clear #4 at this point in time

[Eat My Shatkins]

Seeing as they just signed Kikuchi to a 3 year deal with starter money, I bet he'll get a lot of rope to find consistency.

 

Hopefully he doesn't hang himself with it.

 

He had a 2.36 ERA / 2.65 FIP in May (5 starts) and that includes 2 starts vs the Yankees.

[Laika]

these things tend to sort themselves out anyway

[Stangstag]

I thought we were hearing Ryu was likely heading for surgery and done for the year??

[TwistedLogic]

I have a conspiracy theory that Ryu is cooked and has a bad injury that's going to have a long rehab and they're only waiting for the Ryu jersey day to come and go before they announce it. Telling people Ryu is potentially out for the year is going to kill a lot of the interest that casuals might have in getting his replica jersey.

I don't remember seeing that

[Spanky99]

I don't remember seeing that

 

Nothing official yet, just that he was sent for a 2nd opinion, doesn't sound good.

Good guess honestly, I was kinda thinking that too
