GDT: orioles @ Jays, aug 1 Game 2/4 post deadline shenanigans

[keggy]

Man did Schneider really intentionally walk Hays to get to Henderson? I don’t know what the splits say, maybe the stats say it makes sense, but that looks kinda foolish.

 

Bringing in Cabrera to face 5 consecutive right handed batters was a strange move to me.

[Carlos Danger]

I don't understand the decision to put Hays on (who is speedy as f***) to pitch to Gunnar who already hit a HR against a LHP.. That opened the flood gates and put the game out of reach.... Not like you are facing Ohtaini in Hays??

[JaysFan4Ever]

Well, easy decison who goes down when Greene is ready

[Spanky99]

Along with the BoSox. A sweep dream is turning into a split nightmare at best if we can’t pull this out.

 

Fugly.

No, it doesn't make sense... Gunnar is a far superior hitter regardless lefty/righty and already had had a HR off a lefty

[Spanky99]

Clement, MVP!

[hanton]

Clement stays.

[metafour]

Clement gets in the game and immediately doubles.

 

They need to bring up the AAA mashers and send half the useless f***s on the roster to the moon.

[G-Snarls]

Is it time to panic?

[Jonn]

Why Hicks tonight just use a position player. The f***.

[tossingthiscoin]

There was a pipe dream that this team would take the division title a few days ago and that makes me laugh at this point.

[Delgalladay]

I’d honestly rather watch the young guys hit then continue having to watch Varsho, Biggio, Espinal, and a few others.

[hanton]

Hicks now and you don't use him when it was 3 - 4

[Carlos Danger]

Just to point out that Boston will be getting Story, Whitlock, and Hauck back soon believe..

[keggy]

To me Clement deserves a look before Davis Schneider.

[Omar]

Is it time to panic?

 

Nah. This is one series. The O's seem to have our number but a lot of baseball yet to come.

 

Bo...hurt

Vlad....underperforming since May

Springer in the mother of all funks

Manoah/Ryu in shambles.

 

Shits got to get better.

[tossingthiscoin]

Espinal should've been optioned or DFA'd when he made a basic defensive mistake in the series against the Dodgers, but our FO disregarded and he made another silly mistake.

Fatty G is not underperforming. He’s just not that good. The long track record shows him to be a replacement level hitter at 1st base. We need to give Horwitz a shot and put Fatty to the moon.

[glory]

Using Hicks tonight so that when they need him tomorrow and Thursday, his arm will be fully accustomed to John Schneider’s workload.

[Spanky99]

Well, easy decison who goes down when Greene is ready

 

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt he gets optioned tomorrow.

[JFD]

Why Hicks tonight just use a position player. The f***.

 

I wanted to see Hicks but not like this...

[Spanky99]

Is it time to panic?

 

What say you? Panic, bro... nah.

[Omar]

Using Hicks tonight so that when they need him tomorrow and Thursday, his arm will be fully accustomed to John Schneider’s workload.

 

What's the thinking here? Just tuning him up? Still two games to go in this series. We may need a closer tomorrow and the next day.

Agreed. The O’s didn’t have to trade anyone to accommodate prospects and they do a great job spreading the playing time around. We are seeing the same boring s*** night after night with the same guys. At the minimum, Schneider (the prospect, not fat boy in the dugout) needs to be called up.

[Spanky99]

Just to point out that Boston will be getting Story, Whitlock, and Hauck back soon believe..

 

*shits pants*

[Jonn]

Jays getting ass pounded by the AL East is do disheartening. I want so badly to get excited about this team. But every time they get a chance to make some noise in the division they get bent over. Offence isn’t there. Pitching disappears.

[glory]

Schneider is horrendous with bullpen usage. It’s mind boggling. I wouldn’t try to find logic here.

We only have leverage guys left and Hicks hasn't pitched in like 2 weeks

[tossingthiscoin]

There are large sample sizes to argue we suck with risp.

 

I don't believe this is luck anymore. They are constantly playing badly with risp.

[Jays24]

Makes perfect sense with 0 days off in the near future that we use Hicks. This management team is hilarious. Time to get your packing bags ready Mr Atkins lol.
