GDT game 2 of 3, Giants @ Jays

[Spanky99]

I missed the first eating some sweet EC halibut. Yum!!!

[Spanky99]

Though a single will do nicely... lol

 

What is this 4-5 with RISP in the 1st inning?

 

Variance.

[Omar]

I wonder if a stretched out Richards could be put in the rotation or will his two pitch approach not play over six innings? Questions, questions.

[Jonn]

Richards has sent so much of this fan base to shambles land this season. Get absolutely f***ed.

What's his name, back a handful of years? The changeup dude, name escapes me, but I see him, lol

Lot of posters s***ing on Bichette last year too. Dat's baseball. Fans can be fickle.

Estrada?

Marco Estrada did okay. Remember when we were debating whether he would be more useful in the pen or as a starter.

Right, imagine hating on a 4.5 Win player, lol.

That's him, and yes.

I've kept the receipts and will produce them at the appropriate time to cause as much embarrassment as possible.

[John_Havok]

I’d really like to see Francis use that fastball more, he’s going to the curve and slider way too often

[Spanky99]

Estrada?

 

Yup

lol... you'll need 4 pages for LTBF

[glory]

Might as well keep stretching Richards out and see what happens at this point. Starting depth is already poor and Manoah looks done for 2023 so an unexpected SP developing would be a nice outcome.

[John_Havok]

Yup

 

Estrada was pinpoint with his fastball, though he didn’t throw as hard as Richards does with his. I bet the stuff would favour Richards but the location would favour Estrada

Along with a guy like Danner becoming a solid RP

Yeah, the guy's stepped up, bigly.

That's what the Rays would do. The Jays seem really conservative with things like this.

Basically the FO is looking at the advanced stats and deciding it won’t work instead of just trying it out and riding the wave

Yup. They don't value intuition in the front office or in the dugout. It shows.

[Spanky99]

Nice play

[Stangstag]

Christ, some of the calls Webb is getting here are atrocious

[JFD]

Good ump eh

[Omar]

Vladdy kind of got jobbed there. Poor guy is trying to be selective and the ump is giving him a colonoscopy.

[Spanky99]

Vlad has to be guessing, that pitch needed to be swung at.

He gets jobbed a lot out there. He needs to take that the other way or K swinging.

[Spanky99]

Francis was money.

[Omar]

I would rather another inning from Francis than bringing Thornton in next inning. Trent gives me no confidence with a 4 run lead.

[Daniel Labude]

This umpire crew is beyond terrible...but what is worse is the Jays camera angles. Nobody wants to see the game from behind or the side
