GDT - Cubs @ Jays Game 1/3

[Stangstag]

Holy f*** this offense is terrible.

 

Streaky as all hell

[Daniel Labude]

There have been rumblings/rumors about robo umps and no shifts for 2023, but nothing confirmed yet.

 

Isnt Robo umps 2024. I thought I saw some players say there are still issues with it to be fixed even if they want to do it by 2024

[5ToolPhenom]

I'm a big KBO fan and they hardly shift because these guys are all great contact hitters and can easily beat it. In my opinion, if a batter can't adapt, it's on him. The league shouldn't be catering to these 1 dimensional hitters.

 

But then again I'm not a fan of a lot of the changes that Manfred's made and they seem to be popular so what do I know lol

[gruber92]

LMAO listening to Buck's fishing stories while I'm high.

 

"dolphin fish are not like the flipper dolphin, so don't worry we're not hurting any "flipper" dolphins. Holy f***..

[5ToolPhenom]

Pretty much confirmed. Probably something similar to the minors test where they had to have 2 players on each side of 2B

 

I dont like it at all in general. Let defenses play how they want

 

Exactly. It's just moving the game backwards. I like in late close game situations, managers would bring in an infielder from the outfield. It's a strategy as old as time. Baseball's a game based on tradition, and it's a detriment to the integrity of the game when the commissioner starts flailing around with these gimmicky cheap fixes.

 

I love the analytical aspect that shifting brings to the game. I don't get why'd cater to the hitters like this. Very very lame.

Manfred said he wants them, its not rumblings and rumors its coming and thank f***

[5ToolPhenom]

thank f***? If a team knows that a hitter is 1 dimensional and does nothing but pull the ball, why can't they position in response?

 

I don't get it.

[DigitalRock]

Danny Jansen finally

[Kordesi]

Let’s go baby!

[EdwinsParrot]

about f***ing time!

[Horses Fart]

The missed opportunity in the 1st might f*** us in the end. Let’s hope not.

[5ToolPhenom]

Hot damn! I didn't see that coming!

[Stangstag]

Atta boy Jano

[5ToolPhenom]

If they ban the shift I wonder if anyone would take a flyer on Chris Davis. The guy's career would be resurrected and he'd only be 37 next year.

[Stangstag]

Vlad why the f*** are you swinging at a slider low and away with 1 strike on you. Stupid

 

And then grounds a high fastball somehow

[gruber92]

Vladdy can't be serious looking into the dugout after the first pitch and gestures for the hat shake.

[Stangstag]

Cimber gonna give up a run here

[Kordesi]

Love the guy but that actually pissed me off!

[Kordesi]

Let’s go boys!

[Daniel Labude]

Love the guy but that actually pissed me off!

 

Because....lmao

[jaysguy44]

Well well well, didn't see this coming

[Daniel Labude]

Need to keep it going

[Stangstag]

Tied! Nice. HAVE TO hold this next inning

[EdwinsParrot]

Make em hurt now and take the lead.

[jaysguy44]

Thanks for nothing, Espy.

[havok24]

Great swing there.

[Solaxys]

Romano in a tie game in the 9th? Montoyo would never.

[jaysguy44]

100! Have we seen that before this season from a Jays pitcher?

[Solaxys]

Have we had a walk-off HR yet this year? Might be a good time for one.

[Stangstag]

100! Have we seen that before this season from a Jays pitcher?

 

Ryu might’ve hit 100 a couple times earlier this year
