Chris Bassitt beat ATL last Friday with Strider on the mound. Lets hope for the same tonight with Cole pitching!

Just wondering if a guy that throws fastball/splitter is the best choice to follow a guy they’ve seen all game that also throws fastball/splitter.

 

Might have diminished Swanson’s effectiveness. No idea if that’s a real thing or not

 

I would have rather had Swanson use his best pitches against Judge rather than get burned when he fed Judge a middle middle cement mixer slider.

Jays need to get their head out of their ass about cheating scandals and win a Baseball game. Unacceptable to be in this position against a division rival. Begging for a split in this series at this point and they have Cole on the mound.

 

Ryan Weber pitched multiple innings last night.

Well yeah, nobody wants to throw a bad pitch. It's just that Gausman and Swanson's repetoire is so similar, just the fastball and slider for Swanson are probably even less effective than Gausman's. Both guys splitters are evil.

 

I was moreso just wondering if a reliever following a starter with nearly identical pitches, when some of those pitches are worse than the starters, is at some sort of disadvantage due to the batters having already seen it all game long.

 

 

As for the pitch selection... there's only two places where you can really get judge out consistently..., hard fastballs up and out of the zone, and sliders low and away. Obviously they were going for the slider low and away and he just threw a bad one. Looks like they were trying to throw to the hitters weakness rather than going with the pitcher's strength.

Boone having another meltdown today book it. I wonder when someone gets plunked tonight or tomorrow.

F'n right

 

Really upsetting they couldn't win either of the first two

Does it make me a bad fan that I wish Vlad could get back to punishing mistakes like Judge does and he did in 2021?

No.

Yes. You should want him to be less than his ideal self.

Ok apparently JS didn't call anyone fatboy

 

He called Bader "fratboy"

 

There was no one fat to call fatboy

I guess Harrison Bader looked like a guy that banged all the girls John S liked in College.

Yeah that oversized mouthgaurd is a turn on for sure.
