GDT Game 3/3 Jays @ Marlins Rubber Match

[Spanky99]

Right the ship, dude.

[Spanky99]

Great attempt at a DP.

[Delgalladay]

Good job limiting the damage especially since he was scuffling a bit there.

[Spanky99]

Gausman can go one more I would think?

[Omar]

Go for it Schneids.

[Spanky99]

C'mon Gasman, get through this.

[John_Havok]

Not a great start to the 7th inning there Gaus... maybe have that pen going?

TV Dinner's up.

[Delgalladay]

And now the top of their lineup

So Yimi?

[Delgalladay]

HUGE double play!

[Spanky99]

Big turn, yes... noice.

[John_Havok]

So Yimi?

 

Naw, Swanson is probably the right call, I just never feel great about him following Gausman when they are practically the identical pitcher except Swanson a slightly lesser version.

That's certainly a pattern, likely cause they're similar, idk. That turn was huge.

 

You ninja edit me, lol.

[Delgalladay]

Good job getting out of that. Offense really needs to tack on some runs here. When was the last time the Jays hit a home run?

[John_Havok]

Good work

Varsho, I think.

With Gausman scuffling relative to his standards today, I think Swanson's stuff might have actually played up this time. The fastball is a bit slower and maybe their swings are a little quick from trying to time 96-98, and the splitter is similarly nasty, if his command was any better he would've just presented a weird challenge in adjustment. Maybe that's what there is to it with them always going to Swanson after Gausman, they're so similar but at a different look and velo that perhaps it just messes with hitter's timing. Or the ace just gets us into good winning positions and Swanson is our second best reliever who usually comes in during these spots anyway.

[Delgalladay]

Varsho, I think.

 

Now Chapman!

[Spanky99]

The Chapster, he smoked that ball.

[M.E.]

I chap getting hot again?

[John_Havok]

Attabvoy Chap

[harvey16]

How does Sandy suck so bad this year

 

Seems like alot of elite pitchers from last year are really struggling this year. I have a feeling that the pitch clock has really impacted some pitchers that have very diliberate deliveries like Alcantara, Manoah, Verlander ect...

[Laika]

Vlad: .275/.768

Kiermaier: .275/.764

 

lmaooooo

[Spanky99]

I chap getting hot again?

 

I sure hope so, both balls hit at 108 and 111.9

[Brownie19]

It seems Swanson always pitches after Gausman. I wonder if the Jays have some numbers that suggest he's actually better when following Gausman (which is somewhat counterintuitive).

[Brownie19]

Vlad: .275/.768

Kiermaier: .275/.764

 

lmaooooo

 

All while Kiermaier is crashing back to earth offensively (down to a 111 wRC+). Vlad is a massive waste of talent.

[Spanky99]

The Silver Fox has been a versatile weapon.

[Delgalladay]

Playing with fire here putting the bottom of the order on base
