GDT: 3/3 Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays 1:07 PM EST

Hoping Kikuchi continues his positive trajectory. I think the pitch clock has actually really helped him get into rhythm and to stop overthinking. He has good stuff, and has added some shape to his cutter this year.

Sweeeeeeep!!!

Espinal back in the lineup. Varsho 5 spot.

Kirk should be in that 5th spot imo

Bunch of righties and then a lefty. Guess Schneider doesn't like that.

I know but until he finds his swing, what's even the point

I prefer Merriefield to bat 5 or 6, before Kirk for sure. Let Kirk drive him in and not clog the basepaths with his tortoise impression.

I have always said he had good stuff last year he just could not throw strikes with them. Now he has come down from 5 walks per 9 to about 2. That makes all the difference.

He's not throwing the cutter at all (which is good, because it was a terrible pitch for him), just the slider, change and 4 seamer, with the very occasional curveball (3%).

Loving Kikuchi's new look

[Orgfiller]

That hard, sharp slider is nasty, looks like a fastball most of the way but with enough movement and hard enough that there’s no time to adjust it dropping.

[G-Snarls]

Lots of swing and miss so far

 

2 batters 2K

[Spanky99]

KOOOOOCH!!! cf

[DigitalRock]

Players who point after a close play are dumb. Lol. They will look at it without your pointing

[Slade]

Good on Bo for holding the tag. Nice to have good outfielders.

Sure is

[G-Snarls]

Nice

 

Another swing and miss strikeout

 

And a solid play by Bo

[wilko]

Kikuchi = ACE

If Berrios and Kikuchi keep up something even close to what they've done the last two starts we have the second best starting rotation in the AL East. And better than anyone in the Central.

[Slade]

Why does sportsnet always have a trash angle on plays I want to see?

[tossingthiscoin]

Varsho is just ain't it.

We’ll be first when everyone on the Rays pitching staff blows out their elbows.

 

Their pitchers are nasty, but it’s no coincidence they have most pitcher injuries in the sport by far. They preach max effort all the time.

[Spanky99]

Duck Snort!

[G-Snarls]

Damn the stuff is good

[Orgfiller]

Kiermaier and Varsho when he's covering CF make those deep running catches in the outfield look so incredibly routine. No ball hit out there is a safe bet to drop if they're around.
