GDT: 4/4 Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays (1:10 ET)

[havok24]

They are all over McClanahan.

[BlueJays1B]

Let's go. Keep it rolling.

We always seem to hit well against the elite pitchers, it's the soft tossing shitballers we can't hit. This bodes well for playoffs!

[G-Snarls]

Keep it going Vladdy

Bring on Verlander and Cole!!!

[JFD]

Double play lol

[Horses Fart]

Vlad a bum. So frustrating

[G-Snarls]

Nope nope nope

[DigitalRock]

Double plays , Vlad must have nightmares

[G-Snarls]

Leads the league in GIDP

[havok24]

It's frustrating watching Vlad's approach at the plate. There are AB's where he takes juicy meatballs, but will offer at pitches 5 inches off the plate.

[Stangstag]

Vlad is getting close

[goldbug103]

Nope nope nope

 

Long term deal for Fatty Groundbollo ? No thanks. Not until he can elevate the ball consistently.

[DigitalRock]

Kirk with such a professional approach

[Daniel Labude]

Vs TB Vlad should guess offspeed every single pitch. He won't get a fastball to hit

Guessing, didn’t think he was a guess hitter? Or pressing? In his head

[JFD]

Leads the league in GIDP

 

We have 2 of the top 3 and 3 of the top 10 GIDP'ers. Not ideal lol

He’s gotta be the least exciting 130wRC+ bat in the league. Almost like the Rays entire roster

Vlad 1 and Bo 4 and everyone else is above 10 GIDPs. Way too many on the season

[Stangstag]

If he hasn’t figured it out by now… this is the 19th time we play them lol

*Have you seen Soto*

[Captain_Obvious]

Long term deal for Fatty Groundbollo ? No thanks. Not until he can elevate the ball consistently.

 

He is a 3 WAR player. That is probably closer to his true skill level than last year's. Fat players peak early.

[JFD]

Nice try rocket LOL

[DigitalRock]

Tapia lol. Fundamentals

[G-Snarls]

Wow bad throw

[Daniel Labude]

It goes back to last year. I'd bet Vlad is the worst vs TB compared to how he is vs every other team. They are so disciplined with their command and use of of offspeed pitches. He has only 1 career HR in this park as well

[Spanky99]

Wow bad throw

 

Meh, they had no chance with Walls running.

[Stangstag]

*Have you seen Soto*

 

Oof yeah good point. Soto has been disappointing this year

The best hitters make adjustments, this year he hadn’t made the right ones. I think he will figure it out.
