GDT:game 1/4 Toronto Blue Jays @ Kansas City Royals (7:40pm ET)

I wish we traded Kirk to the Dbacks for Varaho instead of Moreno. I will die on this hill.

 

100%. I've always felt this way as well.

[gruber92]

Kirk is a terrible (and lazy) base runner. We know this from last year.

 

For Kirk to not even show any consideration regarding his weight in the off season, kind of makes losing Moreno hurt even more.

[NHLPRO]

That was pathetic on Kirk Clogs up the whole lineup what a joke. Lose some weight fatty.

[Stangstag]

That has nothing to do with lazy or fat. He didnt know how many outs there were. Deserves to be benched after that.

 

Nah man I think he’s just lazy. Looked like it wouldn’t be caught so he was thinking “why waste energy running”

 

We’ve seen this before with him refusing to slide in close plays. He’s f***ing lazy.

[Jimcanuck]

He’s a really good bat dude. Its worth dealing with the molasses running

 

The bat is good I grant you that. I wonder if other team's think of giving him an IBB just to clog up the bases and take the bat out of his hands.

[BlueJays]

It's like Kirk is trying to poop lmao

[DigitalRock]

He should absolutely be benched for it.

 

Yep

[Solaxys]

what the literal f***?

 

jk, he called it a strike.

[Spanky99]

Forgot how many outs there were. He was sauntering over to 2nd watching the OF track the ball.

 

I thought so, that was rough.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Excellent bounce back from Berrios.

[Daniel Labude]

Nah man I think he’s just lazy. Looked like it wouldn’t be caught so he was thinking “why waste energy running”

 

We’ve seen this before with him refusing to slide in close plays. He’s f***ing lazy.

 

2 outs and he wasn't running. Just bad all around

[Dylan]

Great bounce back inning

[Laika]

I wish we traded Kirk to the Dbacks for Varaho instead of Moreno. I will die on this hill.

 

Arizona would not do that.

 

It would have been Kirk for Alek Thomas

[Masterbather]

If Berrios can keep from s***ing the bed the rest of the game we should be able to come back on this team.

[Laika]

Pop the champagne, Berrios had a clear inning!

[JFD]

Nah man I think he’s just lazy. Looked like it would be caught so he was thinking “why waste energy running”

 

I really hope that's not true lol

[BlueJays]

s*** ass ump

[Jonn]

Kirk more than makes up for his brutal baserunning. Elite defensive catcher and excellent hitter. He’s worth a shitload.

 

I agree with the first 2 points. But his s*** running is mostly a self inflicted wound. There’s absolutely no reason for a 23 year old professional athlete to be that out of shape. Unless he has some kind of medical condition I’m not aware of. He shouldn’t be rostered until he gets his weight under control.

[Laika]

Berrios and Singer basically have the same stuff.

 

Maybe Berrios can learn how to pitch today

[Spanky99]

What's even worse is Chapman made it to 2nd before Kirk made it to 3rd.

 

Because he held up, forgot how many outs there were, same goes for Stangstag, apparently.

[DigitalRock]

All these rule changes and horrible umps remain ffs

[Orgfiller]

Berrios and Singer basically have the same stuff.

 

Maybe Berrios can learn how to pitch today

 

Exactly what I was thinking. If Berrios gets his command to where Singer has been this game, just like that second inning, he could be very valuable still. The stuff is good.

[gruber92]

Kirk more than makes up for his brutal baserunning. Elite defensive catcher and excellent hitter. He’s worth a shitload.

 

Easy on the elite regarding his defence.

[Spanky99]

If he was running on contact with 2 outs my 93 year old Grandfather could score on that.

 

This, that was annoying.

[JFD]

I'm gonna need more medication if we lose to this bum ass team

[Orgfiller]

Easy on the elite regarding his defence.

 

The eye test and the defensive metrics back it up. Kirk is a vacuum back there and he’s an excellent framer. What about his defense doesn’t seem elite to you?

[Spanky99]

This f***in' Ump is terrible...

[DigitalRock]

I'm gonna need more medication if we lose to this bum ass team

 

Medicate anyway it’s fun

[bronson44]

jesus christ

[Dylan]

Yikes at this zone
