GDT: 1/3 Los Angeles Angels @ Toronto Blue Jays @ (Friday 7:10 ET)

Should have removed him before the Renfroe AB. It was obvious he was struggling with command at that point.

 

Nothing is obvious to Schneider.

[glory]

Man just saw the Bichette running mistake, that could be very costly. Angels basically handed them a run and they didn't take it.

[Jays24]

Looking at the leaderboard (minimum 350 PA), Varsho's wRC+ heading into tonight (74) was the 3rd worst in baseball. I think he can catch Myles Straw (71), but not sure about Javy Baez (61).

 

Gonna be a tough trade to comeback from. Atkins shat the bed hard on that one and most said that as soon as the trade was announced.

[John_Havok]

Hopefully Swanson gets a K…double play…IF fly….anything

[Captain_Obvious]

Can’t wait for all the “Schneider sucks at bullpen management” guys to show up and say he should have been pulled earlier, whilst last week arguing that he should have been left in because he’s the ace, gotta ride him.

 

Are you f***ing serious? Most of his pitches to the previous two batters are balls and he is already close to 100 pitches and you think he should be left in?

I think Carlos Endangered Specie dispute this fact. He really believed that the Varsho trade is a genius move by Atkins which would make small minded Carlos a genius as well.

[DigitalRock]

Chappy yelling at the manager in the dug out not a good sign lol

[DigitalRock]

Unreal how bad Varsho has been with the bat.

[John_Havok]

Nice. I don’t think I could take it if a guy with the last name of “Cabbage” did damage

[Spanky99]

Big K!

Not sure how you got that out of my statement. I’m waiting for the daily bullpen critics to come out of the woodwork and show their irrational whining

 

The pull was 100% valid

[Spanky99]

f*** yeah, TV Dinner! 1 more.

[tossingthiscoin]

Thank you Swanson!

[Delgalladay]

Unbelievable job by Swanson!

[John_Havok]

Attaboy Swanson. Way to pick him up!

It was 1 batter too late. Schneider has a habit of not knowing the right time to go to the BP.

[Sammy225]

BIG redemption day for swanson

[EdwinsParrot]

niiiice swanson

[WryNGinger]

Nice to see Schneider's master plan worked to perfection like everyone thought it would.

[Jays24]

That was f***ing amazing Swanson!!!

[Omar]

That clanging sound you hear are Swansons balls as he walks back to the dugout.

[Kordesi]

Let’s fecking goooooo

Last week they were all arguing you have to stay with Gausman even if he’s struggling. he’s the ace. What’s different this week?

[bronson44]

Amazing job!

[BigCecil]

Gobsmacked. That was a beautiful job by Swanson. If that was the Jays offense we would all be livid lol

[Spanky99]

That was awesome, all kinds of awesome from Swanson, no other way to put it.

[John_Havok]

Gobsmacked. That was a beautiful job by Swanson. If that was the Jays offense we would all be livid lol

 

Or if Swanson had given it up…terrible call to put him in…should have kept Gausman in…ace and stuff…some people bitch just to bitch.

I don't know what that argument was about. The recent example of stupidity that comes to mind is when he pulled Kikuchi early against Seattle when he was at 78 pitches. That decision alone probably cost us 2 wins.

[Kordesi]

Spanky and Omar - how do you manage to stay cool with all the doomers on this board? It’s so depressing at times
