GDT: Shitbirds @ Jays, July 31, Game 1/4

[EdwinsParrot]

damn..

[Jays24]

Can't believe he caught that man...

[keggy]

Some great approaches against this monster

[Jonn]

That's just an insane play by Hays. Merrifield got f***ing robbed.

[Spanky99]

Damn... entertaining game at least, just no timely hits... OOF!!!

[glory]

Umpiring sucked but the Jays offense is still ass, and it will only look worse if Bo is out. They need to add hitting.

[Daniel Labude]

3-35 w/RISP again...Definitely not the hitting coach

[Masterbather]

It is what it is. And what it is is not good.

[o2cui2i]

and the game ends with a whimper

[Jays24]

All this talk about getting pitching but our offense is f***ing brutal. We can't win with this s***.

[Omar]

Bo's absence felt immediately. Let's hope he is back soon.

[gruber92]

Ok, we weren't going to sweep them anyway. We knocked Bautista out of tomorrow's game at least and Cano threw 18 pitches himself. Go get them tomorrow with Ryu on the mound.

[Jonn]

Prayers for Bo man f***. Lets hope it's not severe like a tear. Knee sprain might be a DL stint but it would be a god send right now compared to the worst case scenario.

[o2cui2i]

looking forward to seeing Ryu. I hope he has a solid come back.

Too many holes man. Too many guys playing below their level. Especially the guy who was supposed to be our MVP for years to come being a bit above ordinary.

[Masterbather]

Was really looking forward to that, but this Bo thing just takes the wind out of everything.

 

I suppose it's possible that it's not serious, but there's only so many things in the knee that can go wrong and they would all be bad.

right, it makes u sort of wish they gambled a little more on pitching/3rd base in 2021 when they arguably had the best hitting team, even 2022, never know what happens the next year, it's not always linear improvements

[o2cui2i]

time to sleep on it.... another day already today.

[bronson44]

I guess I'm the only one not pumped to have Ryu back. I wasn't too upset thinking he was done pitching for this team. I think overall it was a good signing but just not the type of pitcher I enjoy watching and I think the O's are going to push his s*** in.

2021 man. Front office sat there and watched our bullpen blow so many games especially early. That lineup was f***ing nuts. That was the team to gamble it all on. Even last year, they needed to go get one or two shut down bullpen arms but they convinced themselves that our mediocre bullpen was good enough. They paid for that dearly. This team ain't it. Each year we're getting further from the prize not closer.

[Jaysareus]

Vlad jr. And springer have been massive disappointments this year.

[Spanky99]

John Schneider on the egregious calls... *Felix Baustista doesn't need any help* He was pissed, I still think he needs to show that in game, fire the guys up.

[G-Snarls]

Watching this offense is absolutely painful

 

So many guys underperforming it's crazy

[G-Snarls]

Let's all pray for Bo's ACL tonight

I think people need to manage expectations. He was a 4 plus ERA pitcher since 2021... So, don't expect 7ip 1 run etc... I think he can keep us in games and hopefully go 6 if the offense will wake up..

He faded in the second half of 2021 and was terrible in 2022 before he left to have surgery. If you can convince yourself that his arm woes started in the second half of 2021 and that he will be a new man with this surgery and back to the player he was before then, then we're getting a front line starter back.

 

I may be fooling myself thinking that way, but I need good news right now with Bo going down, and I will fool myself until facts say I can no longer do so.

You could say the same for Gausman… players can improve and clearly Bassit isn’t the same pitcher hew was a few years ago

[glory]

Bassitt had a horrendous first start of the season, but since then he has a 3.48 ERA (4.20 FIP) in 129 innings. You could argue that they overpaid for what he is, but he's mostly been fine this season.

You jinxed it by calling a first place team the Shitbirds!
