GDT: O's @ Jays: Game 4/4 (3:07 ET)

[Brownie19]

The hitting coach?

 

That's a good point. He must be giving him good advise like "swing at strikes" and "don't suck". I wish we had someone that advanced on our bench.

[BlueBaller]

We need to get FATTER

[Olerud363]

How the f*** do the O's get a Chris Colabello season out of Ryan O'Hearn? Career 90 wRC+ hitter posting a 136 wRC+ this year. How the f*** is a 30 year old 1st baseman with a sub 90 career wRC+ still get a shot in the majors?

 

O'hearn is probably a slightly better hitter then he has shown at times. Recent minor league numbers are insane. Orioles are a good organization, good organizations find guys like this by a combination of real scouting and stats scouting.

[Jaysareus]

It's got the feel of a no hitter today. Jay's look lost

[Stangstag]

What the f***

[G-Snarls]

How long are they going to let Flaherty keep them scorelss???

[Stangstag]

What is going on with our defensive alignments today

[Casual Fan]

yesterday's win was not earned with only 3 hits, it was a gift from Orioles, so it's not supersizing that they're not hitting today

[G-Snarls]

What is going on with our defensive alignments today

 

I thought Schneider was the defensive positioning genius behind Montoyo

 

What's up rn

[G-Snarls]

It was earned by a valiant effort by Kikuchi

[93 Jays]

Springer isn’t a nobody. So… yes other managers would probably do the same

 

Lmfao. riiiiiiiiiiight

[Spanky99]

Its just bad luck bro

 

So you disagree with Tango?

[Brownie19]

The luck will surely turn around

 

Average with RISP with Guillermo as the hitting coach...

 

2019 - .239 (28th overall)

2020 - .275 (7th overall)

2021 - .270 (2nd overall)

2022 - .258 (13th overall)

2023 - .238 (27th overall)

 

He must be implementing a different hitting philosophy every year to get such varying results. What a moron!

 

If you think the hitting coach has a such an influence on this - tell me who the best hitting coach in baseball is and we'll see how consistent his results are...(this may backfire on me - but I'm willing to bet it won't).

[Stangstag]

Nice job by Gausman limiting the damage today but damn he’s had to work for it

[Spanky99]

I bet Guillermo's philosophy with RISP is this:

 

- try way too hard, squeeze the f*** out of the ball

- actively try not to hit the ball

- if you accidently hit it, don't hit it hard

 

Jays are executing it perfectly, just like their coach told them to.

 

lol

[Casual Fan]

It was earned by a valiant effort by Kikuchi

 

yes, he did do his job, which he is not often recognized for

[G-Snarls]

Phew

 

Gausman is giving the offense a chance to get back into it...

[PitaBaby]

Wow Vladdy.

[G-Snarls]

Nice job by Gausman limiting the damage today but damn he’s had to work for it

 

He sure has

 

And the bats aren't picking him up

[Delgalladay]

Even I knew that slider was coming after those two fastballs in that spot.

[Stangstag]

Vlad just can’t make adjustments

[G-Snarls]

Holy f*** Vladdy

[G-Snarls]

And Springer swings as hard as he can 3 feet over top of the ball

[G-Snarls]

Hard to watch rn

[BlueJays]

Lmao Vladdy

I really just find it hard to chalk things up to “bad luck”. Its getting frustrating saying the same s*** year after year. At some point you have to think maybe just MAYBE it isn’t just bad luck. Im choosing to turn my anger on the coaches.

[RobinThicc]

Lmao these at bats are f***ing putrid

[93 Jays]

Cy Flaherty today. Guys with 5 and 6 plus ERA's are shutting this offense down completely on a consistent basis.

[Stangstag]

If im Vlad I just completely ignore any pitches that start on the outer edges of the plate. For at least a week or so, see if it gets better results.

 

Dude is just not learning from his mistakes
