GDT: 1/5 Toronto Blue Jays host Tampa Bay Rays

[Abomination]

Faucher was the most surprised guy in the stadium that they threw through lol. That almost took his head off.

[Spanky99]

Should've scored there.

[Solaxys]

lol Vladdy is like "how did I miss that?"

[jaysguy44]

Vlad looking like s*** lately

[Solaxys]

Vlad doing his best Teo impression, f***ing hell.

[Dagagad]

Vlad is kind of becoming an easy out if you can place a slider close enough away. Which is pretty surprising. I always thought he had a great eye for spin.

 

That shouldn’t be effected by how well you are swinging it.

[Daniel Labude]

Vlad close to getting back on the off speed. Much better swing that AB

[Laika]

Vlad two years ago had a hole in his swing up and in. He was far and couldn't turn on it and he'd ground them like 80% of the time.

 

Now he has a huge hole down and away and the league just pounds it continuously. He can't lay off that spot often enough and he doesn't make contact enough either. Hmmm

[Horses Fart]

Bo and Vlad kills another rally. How many times have we seen that this year. Must be the theme of the movie!

[Daniel Labude]

Might be time to flip Bo with Gurriel in the lineup

It’s weird because he’s supposed to have a good eye. That’s an auto take for Kirk or biggio. I mean biggio is also taking it if it’s a strike but whatever.

I do not remember him being bad against that location in past years. In my memory he would just shoot those pitches the other way for singles like Miggy...

Not a hole...an approach now. Last year he wouldn't swing at it. Now that is all he gets he swings at it more. Difference in the last month is he stopped. Last two games has started swinging again

[JFD]

Gotta love Chapmans max effort on every foul ball. He's like the anti Teo on D

[Laika]

He does need tips from Kirk, unironic.

 

Kirk can drive that low away pitch even when it's a slider off the plate a bit

And he better stop cause thats all TB is going to throw this weekend

[jaysguy44]

Phelps is garbage

[Solaxys]

Phelps just can't help himself not walking people anymore?

He moved off the plate a bit to achieve this and now the league has caught on. Don't know what his next evolution will be.

[Dagagad]

Phelps stuff isn’t good enough to be this wild. Also, god damn does our bullpen love to give free bases to the other team when they are chasing a lead.

 

We didn’t get the swing and miss but we do get the walks!! Worst of both worlds.

[Solaxys]

TEOOOOO cf

[JFD]

yikes lol

[Spanky99]

Might be time to flip Bo with Gurriel in the lineup

 

lol

@Dagagad

 

I mean this is the spot you use Phelps in lol 3-run lead. You just put him to get outs.

He doesn't need to have lights out stuff.

If he gets a run in, then you need your elite relievers. Why would you burn your elite relievers here and not have them tomorrow when it might be tighter?

[Omar]

Couple of good things from the youtube broadcast:

 

Good player interviews during games. The one with Gausman was very good (he sang the praises of Kirk).

 

George Springer mic'd up during the game.

 

During the longer ab's they show a graphic of the the pitch sequence with corresponding velo's.

[jaysguy44]

Good s*** Teo

[BigCecil]

Just checked score. Wow. kooch! Always loved that guy! 3 more outs! Go Jays!

[Solaxys]

Have a night Teo

[Inklink]

Using Cimber here?
