GDT: 3/3 Chicago Cubs @ Toronto Blue Jays (Sunday 11:37 ET)

[G-Snarls]

That's a very loud single

 

Jeez

[o2cui2i]

I'd rather re sign Merrifield than keep DeYoung, Biggio, Espinal and maybe even Chapman

 

would Reed Johnson type of player be a good comparison?

[PitaBaby]

Varsho!!

[jaysguy44]

Var-show!

[EdwinsParrot]

Varsho niiiice

[Spanky99]

Have a day, Varsho!!!

[o2cui2i]

this team really needed a game like this---

[G-Snarls]

Bordering on a blowout

[o2cui2i]

nice catch, damn

[hanton]

Merrifield is a much better player, a 3 time all-star so no that's not a good comp, a Zobrist

[hanton]

me too but it will be an overpay for sure so a little risky considering his age, he plays like a 20 year old though

He is an All star 3 times in part because he played in KC. Espy and Kirk are also former all stars. Zobrist had a 42 WAR career including an 8+ WAR season. Whit has been great but he has been super hot which gives us all a lot of recency bias.

[Jonn]

Ryu at 86 pitches. He should throw another inning. But you know John Schneider is licking his lips at the idea of using 4 relievers today.

42 war over 18 seasons, Merrifield is a late bloomer only 8 seasons

 

actually the opposite of recency bias, Merrifield struggled just before the Jays picked him up and they continued to struggle when the Jays were messing with his playing time and position. His best days were a few years ago but he's looking like his old self againn. The talent is for real

[Jonn]

Ofcourse he f***ing pulls Ryu at 86 pitches. They are up 8-2 Jesus f***ing Christ.

Ryu seems happy about it

[Carlos Danger]

Bluejaysloser2023/anus anus is awfully quite today.

 

Must be going into overload that he can’t blame a team loss on the #9 hitter Varsho.

[Jonn]

Ryu seems happy about it

 

He's probably just happy to be on the mound again to be honest. Doesn't make it a good decision.

[keggy]

I normally hate Schneider pulling starters early, but with Ryu's soft stuff it's probably better not to give the hitters a third look.

Schneider has been pulling the rip cord really early most of the year.

[Jonn]

They have monday and thursday off.

 

Sounds like even more reason to push the Starter further.

[o2cui2i]

nice clean inning.... more add on runs please!

[JaysAllMighty]

[Stangstag]

Also probably a sore knee

kakuchi gets yanked after 2 times through the order no matter how well he's pitching.

 

If you never let a pitcher get through the order 3 times, they will never learn to get through the order 3 times

we're used to it by now, pitcher too

[Spanky99]

LETS GO BLUE JAYS *CLAP, CLAP* *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*

This would have been a good spot to get Davis Scheneider an at-bat

It’s really frustrating. And everyone using the off days as an excuse is just pitiful. All it takes is your starter to be knocked out of the game early Tuesday to have a taxed pen again. Let your Starters eat their innings. Ryu was grooving and perfect time to give him an extended outing.
