GDT: Jays @ Cardinals 2:15 EST Rubber Match of the 3 Game Set

[gruber92]

Springer is already a cripple at the ripe age of 33.

[Buster]

If it wasn't for Bassitt we win this game 4-2

 

the team was underwhelming up and down

[Spanky99]

Bring on the Royals!!!

[BCZ]

Bassitt Ut oh

[justafan]

What a disappointing series and a waste of tv time!

[BigCecil]

Can we get Marlins Bass please. Blue Jays Bass f***ing sucks.

 

Yep. He has pretty much been first time Jays Bass since he came back. Bring on the Royals! Let’s get rollin’

[Krylian]

Didn't have a chance to watch any of the game. I see Bassitt got blown up. What was his stuff like? Good stuff but command was off, or was the stuff crap.

He looked awful all around. Fastball sitting 89-90, couldn’t locate anything. Serving up meatballs

[Laika]

But but but guys it's spring training and he's a veteran and his velocity is right where he wants it to be!!

[G-Snarls]

Bassitt Ut oh

 

Lets hope that Kikuchi is better

I think he needs to get rid of these 8 pitches and get 8 new ones

Like an aging washed up SP

It was a bit like the Seattle playoff series - a very big WTF!

[Captain_Obvious]

On the bright side, unlike Berrios, Bassitt will be off our books in 3 years only.

Yeah but that was before he turned to dogshit this spring

 

It's so over, Spanky

 

Orioles will finish ahead of Toronto

Lovely. Tanner Roark.

[glory]

Lovely. Tanner Roark.

 

Bassitt is also a year older than Roark was when the Jays signed him. Pitchers get old and decline too, and that was the biggest risk with Bassitt. Too early to say one way or another, but if dude is throwing 89-91 moving forward, then it's going to get really ugly.

If he’s topping 90/91, he may legitimately be a DFA/release candidate. Hopefully that’s not the case

This is hyperbole... a 1.5 MPH drop is concerning, but chill the f*** out!

[5ToolPhenom]

I think the pitch clock is fine for the most part. But maybe add another 5 seconds so things feel a little less rushed.

 

I agree. The game should be allowed to breathe a little more. Especially when it comes to the last inning and crucial late game situations.

[Laika]

It's like... the game doesn't want any of us to be fans or something.

 

Manoah sucks

Team walks 14 times and doesn't score

Bassitt has the 3rd worst start in Jays history and is probably worse than Tanner Roark

 

 

I am in so much pain

And yet there is soooo much talent on this team

 

Rough start

 

Better times ahead man

Bro chillll

Well I think he’s proven through spring training and now this first start that he can’t be effective throwing 90mph. Maybe he can idk. Hopefully he is able to ramp it back up to 93ish and we aren’t talking about his poor velocity all year.

[Omar]

It's one game fellas. Let's wait for at least another start or two before we tar and feather Bassitt.

 

...but damn, what a rough start.

[bones10]

I saw a reddit comment from a Mets fan saying Bassitt was a total perfectionist with pitch selection and would constantly shake off the catcher and step off the mound during his starts. The new pitch clock coupled with this information stands to think hes going to have a rough time adjusting, if he even can at all. Compounding the problem is also going to be his large selection of (mediocre) pitches seems kind of terrible to deal with in a 15 second window.

 

He was also calling his own pitches right? My instinctual response to that is negative, pitchers have to be so focused on executing every pitch they throw and trying to remembering how every single batter should be pitched in a given situation seems like it would give nebulous results at best.

Silver lining, Bassitt required very few pitches to serve up home run derby pitches to the Cardinals. He was efficient.

If he was constantly shaking the catcher off, then he was already calling his own games anyways. So the pitchcom and selecting his own pitches SHOULD help him.

 

The pitch clock however… idk hopefully he can adjust
