Canada's Team (21-14) @ Reigning National League Champions (16-19) GDT (1/2)

[connorp]

yer dumn, he demolished that ball

 

W/e, do what you guys do best and make up a custom sample size where he’s not slightly below league average.

And being slightly below average wouldn’t even be bad if he did it consistently. It’s like a team that year in and year out is god awful 4.5 months out of the year and then the best team in baseball for 6 weeks. It gets old

[BlueJays]

So why Richards still pitched in the 8th? f***ing dumbass manager

[Daniel Labude]

Richards is terrible, send him packing

[Spanky99]

And yeah right on cue, here’s the s***** Richards again.

 

John rode him too long. And why waste Swanson NOW??

 

Waste him? Off day yesterday, and off day tomorrow, he should've started this inning.

[Masterbather]

Yeah right Bass, it was going to be you.

[tossingthiscoin]

Ever since fans said Richards is reliable, he started to load the bases lol...

[Jonn]

Why would John let Richards sit twice. I just don’t understand the decision at all.

[Stangstag]

That happened maybe twice last year. He blew up a couple times. But otherwise has been very good in his Blue Jays career. All the metrics support it as well.

 

You were saying?

[Orgfiller]

Richards is the quintessential reliever. Dominant to unplayable at the flip of a switch.

[Jimcanuck]

Every team in baseball would roster Jansen, mate

 

Your baseball IQ is in the single digits

[keggy]

Don't hate me because I'm always right.

[Stangstag]

Why would John let Richards sit twice. I just don’t understand the decision at all.

 

Yeah I don’t agree either. Now possibly wasting Swanson here. Should have just started the inning with him. Offday yesterday and another one Thursday.

 

That’s some bad management there

[Jonn]

He gave up 2+ earned runs in 11 different games last season. Half of those were 3+ ER and a couple games were 5 ER.

 

Well I can’t really defend my point right now. f*** me. I don’t understand what John Scheneider is doing.

[Jimcanuck]

Waste him? Off day yesterday, and off day tomorrow, he should've started this inning.

 

Yes, or at least be brought in after the 1st baserunner. No idea what Schneider was thinking

[Spanky99]

Remember when you said Chappy was garbage last season, lol... good times.

[Stangstag]

Well I can’t really defend my point right now. f*** me. I don’t understand what John Scheneider is doing.

 

Yeah if Richards gives you 1.1 innings in a tight game you take it and go to the next guy. Was he expecting Richards to go 2+??? Idk what he was thinking

[Omar]

The Silver Faux.

[EdwinsParrot]

Good one, Schneider. Got greedy and it backfired.

[Jimcanuck]

Marsh is turning into a beast of a ballplayer, in more ways than one

[philly30]

Neither of these teams have championship pitching staffs

[Daniel Labude]

RP offspeed pitching again lol

[Stangstag]

Yes, or at least be brought in after the 1st baserunner. No idea what Schneider was thinking

 

He seems super slow to react at times, like he’s asleep or something.

 

And that’s the game now. Moronic managing this inning

[Jimcanuck]

DFA Espinal, Barger time

[Jonn]

It's not like Swanson is doing any better. This is just a cursed game.

[Omar]

[tossingthiscoin]

Schneider -1war performance tonight. Good job.

[Jonn]

DFA Espinal, Barger time

 

He's not even healthy lol

[Jimcanuck]

He seems super slow to react at times, like he’s asleep or something.

 

And that’s the game now. Moronic managing this inning

 

Schneider needs to study how Sparky managed a bullpen. He was the master.

[BigCecil]

We were oh so close in this game…so glad to be using Swanson now.

[Spanky99]

Game. Set. Match. Me thinks top of the order I guess. Not much execution tonight by the bats and arms, regroup for tomorrow. Or score 7 in the ninth...
