GDT: 3/3 Los Angeles Angels @ Toronto Blue Jays (Sunday 12:05 ET)

Well there it is. The option has vested. 6 million middle reliever. Lets hope he can get us out of this.

I knew this would happen. Using Garcia 3 days in a row was a terrible idea.

[Spanky99]

Crushed... damn.

[Jonn]

That ball wasn't even hit that hard. Renfroe is just so f***ing strong.

[Jays24]

So remember when some people were "bitching"bout using Garcia pointlessly yesterday? Well there you have it, using a guy 3 days in a row. This management staff are full retards man lol.

[Omar]

Yimi pitching with a 5 run lead yesterday and today in extras. Oh well...

[glory]

Thankfully they used Garcia yesterday when they needed him so he can come in for the 3rd game in a row today.

[Steeljays]

Terrible decision to pitch to him. Especially with 1B open. This guy kills them

I wouldn't call it "bitching" more critiquing. Pearson should have finished that 6-1 game with only 8 pitches used.

He's hitting 98 with the fastball.

 

The guy just made a s*** pitch. He's not "tired". He's not an elite reliever who doesn't throw bad pitches.

[BlueBaller]

Our coach is such a moron but his job is secure. Sucks

He gives up way to much contact for me to view him as a late inning reliever. Bad luck on BABIP or not. It's a lot of balls put into play. His K/Rate is actually pretty good. But he's rarely consistent outing to outing.

There's a reason why it's so rare to have bullpen guys pitch 3 games in a row. If it were no issue then we'd be seeing it happen more regularly.

 

Regardless, this doesn't help Garcia be more effective and as a manager, it's your job to put your players in the best position to succeed.

[Jonn]

I would have stayed hard with Renfroe. He just so strong I would have not took the chance of him timing up a breaking ball. Honestly don't think he turns around 98 MPH.

[metafour]

I remember some of the guys on this board said that using Yimi yesterday in a pointless game was not a bad decision...

 

These is such strawman logic LOL.

 

He didn't give up as HR because he pitched yesterday. He looks 100% rested - as proven by his velocity. You'd have some sort of point if his velocity was down, but it's actually UP.

 

What's the conclusion here, that he wouldn't have hung a crap breaking ball if he didn't pitch yesterday?

[Jonn]

Just get this game tied please.

[Spanky99]

f*** yeah, Vlad, we in this!!!

[Jays24]

Some guys on here are flat out Homers who get all defensive if you "question" any decisions the team makes lol.

[Jonn]

We still have Belt to use.

Yes, the reason is because guys typically get tired and their stuff goes down.

 

Garcia's average FB velocity this season is 95.9 mph. He came out firing 97-98 the entire inning. So he's clearly not "fatigued".

 

He just made a s*** pitch. And if you've seen him pitch at all, this isn't exactly a rare occurance.

[hanton]

At this time of the season it's all hands on deck, gotta be ready - and I assume Garcia was in the available category today. No issue using him 3 in a row especially sinde he didn't throw that many in gm1/gm2

[glory]

If Springer hits into a DP here…….

[Delgalladay]

Great AB

[Omar]

Be the hero George!

[Carlos Danger]

Move the runners over at least Springer!

[jaysguy44]

Long overdue here, George

[tossingthiscoin]

Wow George... He should've bunt.

[Jonn]

THAT BALL WAS IN

 

Your f***ed up. ********

[Spanky99]

NOOOOOOOOOOO not like that ump???
