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

[el duque]

Belt with the Giants last year 8 HR, 213 AVG, why would you go for a guy with those numbers?

[Jonn]

At least they're going to use Berrios for 95 pitches I'd assume, good call.

 

Next time hes just gotta prevent the 7 ER from scoring.

[bones10]

We need to hit a home run this game at the very least bad juju

[Spanky99]

Next time hes just gotta prevent the 7 ER from scoring.

 

He will, book it. Same ole same ole frustration.

[BigCecil]

Just caught up on gm on PVR. Berrios baseball savante page picking right up from '22 and he looks shell shocked on mound, but should be getting used to it.

 

Hard contact all over. Even JBJ getting in on it.

 

Singer owning us except for Chappy crushing it.

 

Not the '23 start we were looking for. KiKuchi will shut the door on them tomorrow if we can't come back tonight. I feel it. gulp

[Raezor19]

Bad knees... that's all fixed now...

[Spanky99]

We need to hit a home run this game at the very least bad juju

 

It will be Kirk in the 9th for a slam to tie the game at 9.

[Orgfiller]

Can’t see Pop sticking at the big league level for much longer if he pitches every game.

[gruber92]

Line up for tomorrow

 

Springer

Bichette

Vladdy

Chapman

Varsho

Kirk (DH)

Merrifield

Jansen

KK

[JaysAllMighty]

Can we play our triple A team instead?

[Jonn]

I still think Zach Pop f***ing sucks.

[DigitalRock]

Ugly start. Nothing else to say

[Solaxys]

lol, I don't even know who is good on this team anymore, on the pitching staff, except Gausman I suppose.

[Jonn]

lol, I don't even know who is good on this team anymore, on the pitching staff, except Gausman I suppose.

 

Manoah is still good lol

[Jonn]

Another Zach Pop sinker getting f***ing sent into orbit.

[Spanky99]

Belt with the Giants last year 8 HR, 213 AVG, why would you go for a guy with those numbers?

 

Because he was hurt, his upside is worth gambling on. It's the 4th game, don't sweat it.

[Angrioter]

Pop no es bueno en este deporte. Para nada

[Terminator]

lol, I don't even know who is good on this team anymore, on the pitching staff, except Gausman I suppose.

 

We have't even made it a full turn through the rotation yet lmao

[Daniel Labude]

We got a pitch down the middle...and watched it

[Pinkfloid]

What an underwhelming start to the season. Outside of a fortunate win in game one, we've not even been competitive in the next 3. I know it's early but to see this team be *lucky* to not be 0-4 it's certainly disappointing.

[BuckHenry]

Quite a team we’ve put together there .

[keggy]

I still think Zach Pop f***ing sucks.

 

Pop has pitched in like every game this season, brought in to face consecutive lefties. The starting pitching and bullpen construction set him up to fail.

[Angrioter]

New Chappy hitting to the right side is good. Looking for his money next year.

[Spanky99]

Can’t see Pop sticking at the big league level for much longer if he pitches every game.

 

Nope.

[BigCecil]

Because he was hurt, his upside is worth gambling on. It's the 4th game, don't sweat it.

 

Agree. Belt worth the no bounce back risk. Solid LHH option in order on 1 year deal, if he can stay healthy.

[Jonn]

Call me crazy but I think Kikuchi is going to be good tomorrow. 9 strikeouts in 5 innings.

[RobinThicc]

At least they hired Atkins replacement this offseason👍

[Angrioter]

Call me crazy but I think Kikuchi is going to be good tomorrow. 9 strikeouts in 5 innings.

and 6 competitive walks

[Solaxys]

We have't even made it a full turn through the rotation yet lmao

 

I meant with who we've seen thus far. I am sure Manoah will be okay but all our relief (except one inning from Romano) have been hit convincingly and Bassitt/Berrios got shellacked.

 

Early season jitters, I hope.

[G-Snarls]

Glad I'm not watching this one

 

OMFG
