GDT - The Reinforcements Have Arrived - Jays @ Twins Game 1/4

[Deadpool]

I just don’t get what the upside is EVER swinging 3-0 with a guy who is missing, an umpire who is calling a true tight plate and one on nobody out.

 

Like, what is the f***ing upside? It’s such a f***ing dumb decision to ever swing in that spot. That’s terrible management.

 

Yea, if there is a guy on third and we need a run to take a lead late. Yea, swing and try to lift one. Otherwise, don’t f***ing swing.

 

Yeah, and at least with the Jays (definitely under Chuckles) it was "sure guys, swing whenever you want!" I really hate it.

you can say that again!

I feel like that’s something you would very rarely see any Ray do.

[Deadpool]

Damn, ******** hit.

[Solaxys]

What a way to lose the perfect game.

[Deadpool]

Head's up play Biggio.

Part of the reason is that these guys have been playing competitive ball their whole lives. They "believe" they can get a hit. When you're standing in that box it's you against the pitcher and sometimes you have to get your cuts. It doesn't make sense in strictly logical terms but it is part of the player mentality.

[BigCecil]

Tabby says Manoah is a "big guy" and has that going for him. Big guy correlation to not getting health issues? Like Pearson?

[Jays24]

It was a good snag but he did have the easier and better out at 2B... just saying lol

[JFD]

These mofos are gonna get swept in Minny

Agreed, at 3-0 you better get your key holed pitch, or take.

You're an idiot, but you already know that

Then the manager needs to stop giving them the green light 3-0 by default.

Underhanded stab... just cause... lol

100%. Only certain guys green light and not always. If they get it they have to zone it up or take it.

Think he means that if that was Storman on the mound getting hit by the ball, he'd be out for the season. Height Measures Heart #HMH

[Dagagad]

Manoah struggles to locate and immediately the Minnesota hitters start just taking everything. The fact that we couldn’t do that is so f***ing dumb. Terrible management.

[Solaxys]

And the wheels come off.

[Spanky99]

Oof...

[John_Havok]

Just can’t locate the fastball right now

[Deadpool]

That hit the bat, but that pinky finger may have shattered first.

[Jays24]

What a s***** inning man

Not if it's a slugger like Teo. It is part of sports psychology.

How come teams like the rays can get guys to almost always play to the odds and we have to let guys do sub optimal things to inspire them? What’s up with that?

Teo would just ignore the manager? Pretty sure that's a quick way to get yourself moved down in the lineup...

Its the approach/philosophy of the team and management. Be aggressive af.

 

Which, again, is different from what the Rays do.

You should just become a Rays fan to avoid the misery of why Jays are not like Rays.

I’m so nuts… I want the jays to always try to win instead of doing dumb s*** to placate players’ egos. What an outrageous request!

 

Be happy with stupid s*** or become a rays fan is quite the choice.

No I mean the manager wouldn't tell a slugger like Teo or Vladdy to take.
