GDT : 1/3 Blue Birds @ Bronx

[Omar]

Let Kooch finish it

 

Okay, let's not get crazy here.

[Spanky99]

Berrios full value tonight. Pleasant surprise.

 

f***in eh, should've finished the 7th mate, lol.

[BlueJays]

LOL they are using Romano.

[Pinkfloid]

Romano?? LOL

[JFD]

Romano?

 

Montoyo clone confirmed

[John_Havok]

, K Romano does not need to be throwing in this game…that’s just stupid.

 

Gotta love Shulman trying his best not to roast Schneider for having him up and throwing when what he really wants to say is “wtf are you doing?”

[Spanky99]

The arsenal of pitches is fantastic, and the upside is clearly tantalizing. Wish he trusted his fastball more often.

 

This, bigly.

[BlueJays]

Romano?

 

Montoyo clone confirmed

 

Or Montoyo was Schneider clone.

[havok24]

It’s not that he doesn’t trust it, he can’t actually command it. It’s 50/50 if it’s right down the middle or not.

 

Yeah, it’s kind of a hit or miss. We desperately need a high leverage lefty in the pen, so it would be nice if Kikuchi could transform himself into a weapon out of the pen.

[travisinfla]

if Kikuchi can do that for the rest of the season, great

Romano in for 9th, 9-2 lead nah agree with Tabby.

[JFD]

Or Montoyo was Schneider clone.

 

Or both Atkins clones

[Omar]

f***in eh, should've finished the 7th mate, lol.

 

Would have lined up Bass for the 8th and Kuch to close it. Oh well...

[Spanky99]

K... this is f***ed, they don't need work, lol. I'm floored, man.

[Solaxys]

Prolly just has to do with Romano not pitching in 5 days

[Terminator]

Romano hasn't pitched since Saturday you dummies. He needs to get into a game.

 

Actually makes sense to use Kikuchi there if you know Romano is coming into the game no matter what. If Kikuchi shits the bed it might be a save situation anyway.

That makes sense, but why use Bass?

[Laika]

Romano needs work

 

Do any of you even watch baseball?

[Laika]

That makes sense, but why use Bass?

 

Best option vs Judge to basically keep it a comfy game

Oh no! 5 days? Is he going to wither and die if he waits one more day? Is he going to forget how to pitch suddenly if he doesn’t get into a game tonight and just start throwing knuckleballs because…omg what does he do if he doesn’t get in to THIS game?

[JFD]

There will be plenty of high leverage situations in this series.. his arm won't rust off in the next day or two lol

[Omar]

What if they have some pitching metrics on Romano showing that he isn't quite sharp after four/five day layoff and that they can use tonight as a buffer appearance to get him right before he is needed in a high leverage situation?

[Spanky99]

Apple TV tomorrow again??? Fack off!

[Solaxys]

What if they have some pitching metrics on Romano showing that he isn't quite sharp after four day layoff and that they can use tonight as a buffer appearance to get him right before he is needed in a high leverage situation?

 

Who needs analytics; Jays should hire the regulars on this board.

[Terminator]

Oh no! Can he all of the sudden not pitch tomorrow? Has his arm reached unbearable levels of stress because he threw one inning in the past 5 days? OMG what do we do tomorrow because he did pitch THIS game?

 

If anything let him shake the rust off tonight with a giant lead and he's probably better tomorrow anyway. If we don't need him tomorrow then he's probably better on Saturday or Sunday because of it.

[Spanky99]

That would likely be an extremely small sample, no?

Lots of ifs, bruh. They do play on Monday and so forth. IDK...

Meh, I’m mostly just trolling, I just wonder if they’d still be doing it if they were down by 7 instead of up by 7. Like, if it’s soooo important to get work on a regular schedule, why not use him yesterday in a 6-1 game?

 

If the answer to the first question is no, then …. waiting another day isn’t a big deal

[Stangstag]

This is some extremely questionable bullpen usage
