GDT: Jays @ A's Game 2 of 3

[Krylian]

I don’t see how it gets better next year. This is our window right now.

 

Lots of underperforming this season. Unless you believe that Teo, Vladdy, Bo, Gurriel, Chapman, Berrios, etc are not as good as they've shown in the past and this is their new norm.

[Dagagad]

If this is a window it looks pretty foggy outside. It would hopefully improve in the off-season with trades and free agent additions. The time you can truly improve or change your team. Very difficult to do it right now.

 

We have the kind of hitters that I really think if we get in, you never know what might happen.

If it’s their new norm, they aren’t underperforming. They are just performing I guess.

 

I do think it’s just a random under performance honestly.

[5ToolPhenom]

Dude, Kikuchi isn't even THAT bad, lol.

 

lmao yeah maybe it's recency bias, but changes gotta be made when you can't even go 3 innings against the A's offense

[Daniel Labude]

Bo....lmao

[Jonn]

This team has 2 reliable starters right now and one of them is a question mark (Gausman). The bullpen is a complete dumpster fire from top to bottom. The offense is very hot and cold group collectively. I don’t picture this anything can happen scenario. I see getting butt f***ed by the Yankees if they even get past the wild card cluster f*** that they get created.

[Dagagad]

Why run there… I don’t get it. Kirk is our best hitter. So dumb.

[5ToolPhenom]

What the f*** man in a 2-1 count with the best hitter on the team up... Not the time to try swiping a bag.

 

This team's so damn frustrating right now

[Spanky99]

Show us a replay, FFS's

Dude, the dodgers have won one title in the 5 years they were the best team in baseball and that was in a covid year. Anything can happen.

[Jonn]

Imagine getting thrown out at Second Base with your best hitter at the plate ahead in the count. Just an awful time to run

[Omar]

Because Kirk is our best hitter, he was trying to get into scoring position for him.

[Daniel Labude]

Biggio lmao

[havok24]

What is this team even doing? Everything from top to bottom has gone down the toilet.

Holy *Tiny Violin* Batman!!!

I don't know what it is this year, but Bo Bichette seems to be making a lot of those kinds of mistake. I really haven't enjoyed watching him play this year.

[Dagagad]

Because Kirk is our best hitter, he was trying to get into scoring position for him.

 

I feel like teams don’t usually run in front of really good hitters with two outs but it’s an interesting strategy.

[Solaxys]

Hm, do I sleep or watch the last 3 innings of this

[Jonn]

I respect your optimism I really do. But I truly hope they don’t trade prospect capital to try to go all in with this team. That’s all I’m saying.

[5ToolPhenom]

No kidding. The Athletics should be the gimme games where they go in, kick the crap out of em, rest the bullpen and stack up the W's.

[Jonn]

Holy *Tiny Violin* Batman!!!

 

It’s just not a very good team lol.

[Solaxys]

There's the meatball he leaves up typically once or twice per appearance.

[5ToolPhenom]

Hm, do I sleep or watch the last 3 innings of this

 

I'm calling it a night lol.

 

Take it easy guys!

[InvincibleTiger]

Sell sell sell

[havok24]

That's another 5 run game for these collection of Oakland sluggers.

[Jonn]

Probably went a little long with Thornton. That meatball was massacred.

[Solaxys]

That's another 5 run game for these collection of Oakland sluggers.

 

Its 5 runs on 2 f***ing hits lol. This s*** is all on the walks/HBPs by Kikuchi.

Thornton giving up a solo HR shouldn't break a game.

[DigitalRock]

Kikuchi has been a bad signing so far.

[Dagagad]

Might not be a bad idea to just sell the farm for pitching this year. Depending on how the next few weeks goes.

[Buster]

Shouldn't putting together a pitching staff be sort of a core competency for a management team?
