GDT:game 2/3 Toronto Blue Jays @ St. Louis Cardinals (2:15pm et)

[Jonn]

Just like that your down 3-0. And it look like it’s going to be tough to score today.

[Stangstag]

I guess we still haven't learned to positio our infielders with Gausman on the mound.

 

This is another classic Gausman start. Grounder base hit, bloop hit, error, groundball squibler single. 3 runs

[Stangstag]

What would have happened there if Chapman's glove made contact with that ball? You can't throw your glove, right?

 

Automatic triple I believe

[glory]

Gausman has been very good so far today, just bad luck/defense, and Flaherty has been the exact opposite, yet the Cardinals up 3-0. Baseball.

Ya, well that's about to change

[Grant77]

If deemed intentional (which it wasn't), all batters would be awarded 3 bases.

[RobinThicc]

Seems like a good time to stop stranding runners

Exact same story as last year. He’s a cy young candidate with better luck.

[Masterbather]

How did they have a terrible offseason, thats ridiculous

 

The horrible plan we had last year, with Kikuchi at the back end of our rotation, no starting depth and prayers, you realize that's the same terrible plan that's in place this year? Our lineup is clearly worse, and we traded assets to do it. Bullpen that needed a revamp got one really good arm and still no power lefty. We did improve our outfield defense, but that's it. Pitching is nowhere near good enough and offense, forget about it. It'll be a good team it just won't be anywhere close to championship caliber.

[Omar]

Gausman deserved better, but it's early. We can get to Flaherty.

[Grant77]

I hate to block people, but I might be at that point with this clown.

[jaysthebest]

This is what happens when you miss two runners on the 1st and 2nd with no out situations.

[Grant77]

I swear Biggio sees fewer strikes than any batter.

Well enjoy your irrational misery, I will enjoy reality

Clearly a troll

[Buster]

This is embarrassing.

It helps when you don’t swing at s***

[Omar]

Clearly a troll

I'll keep watching, I've watched this team through the JP Ricciardi era I can handle anything. As far as what reality is, I guess we'll find out won't we?

[DigitalRock]

Looked like Bo bobbled that one

[bones10]

Didn’t Bo start last year awful defensively as well before settling in as mediocre

They are a good team guaranteed to make the playoffs and as the Phillies showed all you have to do is make it

[Jonn]

Yes. He was mostly fine last year.

[Jonn]

Cardinals have some really f***ing annoying hitters.

Rays of the NL?

[Masterbather]

Guaranteed?!

[philly30]

Guaranteed?!

 

Yes,I amnot factoring in injuries, any team can get them and does

[Jonn]

So this is what Aaron Sanchez was talking about with competitive walks.

[Masterbather]

Yes,I amnot factoring in injuries, any team can get them and does

They are absolutely not guaranteed a playoff spot. They might be in the mix but it's going to be tough.

[Jonn]

This game been absolutely Malding so far.
