Toronto Blue Jays v. Tampa Bay Injured Rays; GM 2 || Brooms Out.

[Solaxys]

Ffs

[Solaxys]

Trent time, which one are we gonna get

[Jays24]

Taking out Kikuchi for Thorton is just idiotic. The whole 3rd time through the order makes sense if you actually have a good arm coming in... not a guy you plan to send back to the minors tomorrow.

[Daniel Labude]

Only 2 balls today over 95 MPH...just so much weak contact

[RobinThicc]

Surely Thornton will keep the Jays in this

[Jays24]

Does Teo know how to dive? Don't think he was gonna catch that but not sure if I've ever seen him lay out for a ball

Not at Tropicana OF foul ground; that'd be a disaster in the making considering the bullpen mound.

 

But I don't think I have ever seen Teo dive; only slides.

3, and one at 94.3

[RobinThicc]

Nice effort there. And a smile at the end to top it off 👍

[Jays24]

Thorton did it!! Time to exhale again lol

[Laika]

Smart to yank Kikuchi early.

 

I like it when my team makes smart decisions and it works out.

 

Imagine being a f***ing moron who wants to push Yusei Kikuchi towards 100 pitches, ever.

[Laika]

Now the trick here is to NOT ask Thornton for another inning.

 

Just use your good RPs and deplete the pen. Gotta do it.

Imagine liking a decision to insert Thorton into a tie game. I like how you waited for the inning to end before posting this loll

Yep, extra few hours between games as it's a day game before a night game (I assume, haven't actually checked the schedule...) AND they're getting at least 3 fresh arms for tomorrow's game anyway.

[Solaxys]

Can't wait to see this ump's report card

[JFD]

ok yeah, this ump is working for the Yankees

[Jays24]

Kikuchi wasn't getting calls off the plate like that. Of course he wasn't even getting calls on the plate.

 

Was about to post the same thing.

He's pitched in 26 games, he's allowed 0 runs in 17 of those games in 15 of those games he's allowed 0 or 1 hits 9 of those outings were > 1 IP as well. More often than not, it's perfectly fine to use Thornton.

 

Is he my first choice? Nope, but it's not like he's automatically giving up runs and s***.

[Solaxys]

Prototypical Rays. Speedy guy on bases.

[JFD]

Trash ass bullpen man

[RobinThicc]

Strike this guy out pls

[ColdPint]

Swing and miss stuff would have been nice in that situation.

 

Ah well, maybe next year. Or the year after.

[Deadpool]

Should have left Thornton in...

[Solaxys]

Swing and miss stuff would have been nice in that situation.

Sounds good; see you then.

[Daniel Labude]

Good thing the pitchers in Miami at 4 PM yesterday couldn't be here today. Such a long trip for them to join the team

[JFD]

If we don't win this year we'll win next year, if we don't win next year we'll win the year after that.

[Solaxys]

Cimber has been pretty s*** since the ASB

[Jays24]

He's pitched in 26 games, he's allowed 0 runs in 17 of those games in 15 of those games he's allowed 0 or 1 hits 9 of those outings were > 1 IP as well. More often than not, it's perfectly fine to use Thornton.

 

Is he my first choice? Nope, but it's not like he's automatically giving up runs and s***.

 

Now how many of those outings were during meaningful situations? There's a reason why he was in AAA and that's because he's only been useful for mop up duties for his career.

[JFD]

Soft tossing noddle arm bitch

[M.E.]

It feels like Cimber has been pretty unreliable lately.

 

Ya think ;-)
