GDT: 1/3 Seattle Mariners @ Toronto Blue Jays (4:07 et)

[DigitalRock]

Utterly dominated. Zero pulse on offense . Welp

[Stangstag]

Awful game

[Solaxys]

Springer 2-3, so at least one dude came to play.

[BlueJays]

They got one more chance tomorrow against Mariners anti-vaxx pitcher. Hopefully they get him early.

[Omar]

Well, Seattle has the arms to dominate. Always was a concern. I think we get to Ray tomorrow. Don't go jumping off bridges. Let's get after it tomorrow.

[BCZ]

I don't like looking at Caleb Joseph's giant forehead...

[Captain_Obvious]

Position, body, and weight cut that by at least 80%

You are right. Vlad provides no positional value. Reduce Vlad's contract to 5 yrs 60M and add happy meal bonus for finishing up top 10 in MVP voting

[Carlos Danger]

So what about Gausman's finger/cut... I don't see anything about it?

[Daniel Labude]

Kirk is a DH. They don't get more that 1M a year. Problem is they can only sign Bo or Kirk longterm at DH. 1 has to walk

[Daniel Labude]

Said he was good to go last I checked and if it was the playoffs would have stayed in last game

[DigitalRock]

Team needs a few good lefty bats. Seems like forever since we had a few.

[EdwinsParrot]

the wild card era for the jays thus far is constantly getting shutdown

 

they better break out tomorrow

[glory]

I know Tapia's only in the lineup because Gurriel is hurt (although the Jays may have manipulated the DH spot to fit him in for all I know) but there is no reason for Tapia to bat anywhere except 9th in the order. Hopefully Espinal is healthy and can play 2B tomorrow with Merrifield in LF against Ray.

[jaysblue]

Robbie Ray is still alive and he's pitching in Game 2 against the Jays! Oh my!

[Solaxys]

Won't matter who plays where or where they are on the lineup; the core has to deliver, they have to get those clutch hits. Bo/Vlad/Teo have to step up tomorrow; if they don't, we are f***ed.

[Fastball21]

The Vlady/Bo led offense has scored a grand total of 3 runs through 3 playoff games…and 2 of those runs were Jansen solo HRs. Expect more of the same tomorrow. These guys simply choke when it matters.

Remind you of another Toronto team? LOL

Yeah if your best players aren’t producing, chances of winning are slim

[bones10]

Ray stinks we'll win tomorrow stop being doomer cucks

[BigCecil]

SUCKED. Ain't over. I remember the same feeling after we lost the first 2 in a 5 game series vs TEX in '15. Look what happened.

 

Castillo was terrific. Flush it. Tomorrows a new game.

[Steeljays]

IMHO. Trade high on Kirk in off season. I think he is a singles hitter with no speed and i dont like him in the cleanup spot. Need to play Moreno next season.

[Laika]

Minor detail but letting Tapia hit in his last PA was absurd

 

You need multiple base runners and you let the guy with a sub .300 OBP swing away while Biggio is on the bench?

[Stangstag]

I don’t necessarily agreee he’s a singles hitter, but I agree they should sell high. The team needs pitching and we have 3 catchers. Already a few guys that are good options at DH (Gurriel/Teo/Vlad/Springer).

 

I don’t think Kirk’s value will ever be higher and im not sure he continues putting up the numbers he did earlier this year.

You want to bring in Biggio against the guy throwing 103??

[Laika]

Yeah

[Solaxys]

Think Moreno was the choice - dude is better at contact than anyone on bench atm.

[Stangstag]

Isn’t Tapia supposed to be that contact guy? And he’s a lefty. Idk im not really upset at leaving Tapia in there.

[Solaxys]

Tapia is the contact guy but he never walks, so he'll swing at everything until he Ks.

 

Moreno can walk and better contact than Biggio

[BigCecil]

Unless Espy isn't ready for a whole game, which he should be to be on the roster, load up on RHH and throw Whitt in LF. Don't lose anything on D in the OF and improve the IF D.

ur a f***ing moron but so is Atkins so it wouldn't shock me

I don’t see why everyone is against trading guys at their peak value. The Rays have been doing it for years and it works pretty well.
