GDT: Blue Jays @ Rangers game 2/3 (4:05et)

[Spanky99]

Holy Francis... strikes man.

[Spanky99]

Varsho and Jansen probably leading the team. Belt and Springer probably good numbers too

 

As a team they're at 109, should be better, though.

Gonna be stressful innings all day from the Jays pitchers, just gotta hope they put up some crooked numbers with the bats

[Stangstag]

He's getting them 0-2 pretty easily but no put out pitch.

 

Shades of Mitch White

[Daniel Labude]

Varsho and Jansen probably leading the team. Belt and Springer probably good numbers too

 

Springer 111

Varsho was like 149

Merrifield was like 162

Belt was like 193 in only 30 PA

[Spanky99]

Man, KK can seriously pick em up in a hurry, lol.

Francis is living dangerously so far. Tons of traffic and near misses on extra base hits

[Spanky99]

Nice... top of the order, LETS GO!!!

[Spanky99]

Looong AB... nice Vlad.

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

Amazing AB by Guerrero

 

Now Varsho should advance him

 

Solo HR is nice but RISP is premium

[EdwinsParrot]

quite the battle there

[max silver]

Pretty nice AB by Vlad, fouled off a lot of tough pitches but then fouled back a lot of hittable pitches too

[Daniel Labude]

Looong AB... nice Vlad.

 

Would have loved like the 11th pitch for him to crush, but he fought off a lot of close/good pitches and had some powerful swings

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

Predictable Varsho

 

He definitely defined this team’s season offensively so far

 

Nightmare of Atkins

Earlier when I was driving, I thought I saw it was 2:5 at gameday, what happened?

[Stangstag]

Yup that was a major mistake by Dunning and that was the one to drive. Ah well, walk is still a good result

[Spanky99]

That was a nice play by Bo! Sweet.

Homerun was overturned and ruled foul

Homerun was overturned and ruled foul

 

Great. Thanks

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

Chapman next, please show up.

[Casual Fan]

I think Jays can win this one, Vladimir has to deliver

[93 Jays]

3 runs or less pretty much every single game. Getting way too predictable. Something has gotta give

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

Texas had a young gun in Jung with consistency in offensive numbers and not too shabby defense

 

And the Jays have a strike out/per 9 machine in Chapman who has been invincible the past 60 days

[Spanky99]

I was not expecting tight games against these guys. Lets Go, Dammit!

[max silver]

I've been impressed with the Rangers defensively.

[Spanky99]

lol

[tossingthiscoin]

Again, why is Garcia pitching multiple innings? He's giving up at least a run in that situation. Schneider is a f***in joke.

[Casual Fan]

I guess Yimi Garcia is not one of those guys like manoah who is eating and drinking too much and getting fat, as some people claim

[Spanky99]

Yimi used after he sat down again, can't make this s*** up.

[Blue Jays Lurker 2023]

Then the Yimi Garcia happened.

 

I think this more than just a trend, Garcia struggles when he does not start an inning fresh. Schneider is still clueless

 

Garcia and Cimber, total disappointment
