GDT: Jays @ Rockies GM 1 of 3

[Stangstag]

Take away the stats with RISP and we’re probably a top 5 offense in all of baseball.

 

Idk what’s wrong with this f***ing team

[Omar]

Should have sent KK on the Springer hit.

[John_Havok]

Flexen is a guy who can’t blow you away, so just sit soft and adjust to the fastball if needed. That should be the approach

[Spanky99]

You’re right, shoulda said getting good results is much easier, not hitting in general.

 

No it isn't, from your couch maybe, but it's all very hard, dude.

There's no Colonel and definitely no General.

[Spanky99]

This.

[Delgalladay]

LOL. Never fails after we can’t score the previous inning. You know they’re going to lose this first game to put even more pressure on themselves.

[Spanky99]

Time to wake up, BATS!!!

[jaysguy44]

Nice play Schneider

[Omar]

Schneider. Nice play.

[BigCecil]

Schneider. Nice play.

 

Looking ok at 3B. Couple nice plays already.

[John_Havok]

Hitters can’t control results of course, but they can control their mindset and approach. They will naturally get better results if the swing at pitches not on the border of the zone.

 

yes, it’s easy to say that, but these guys have played ball all their lives, if they haven’t figured out that part yet, they never will. Sure, you get fooled sometimes, that’s part of the game, but too often these guys are just giving away outs by swinging at trash.

 

vlads first and second PAs in this game are exhibits A and B in the good approach/wtf approach

[jaysguy44]

Maybe if there was 2 outs you take that chance.

 

He probably would have been thrown out

[Spanky99]

He looks fine to me, it's his natural position, can't take that from his bank.

[John_Havok]

He probably would have been thrown out

 

I just don’t get why Windmill Rivera wouldn’t send KK, but he sent Vlad the other day a demonstrably worse scenario without a problem.

[jaysguy44]

Joke of a team

[Spanky99]

Maybe if there was 2 outs you take that chance.

 

He probably would have been thrown out

 

And he's coming back from injury, I guess, but I'd send him early in a game, put the pressure on their D.

I want to downvote this to the moon and back...

[John_Havok]

There’s the Angel Hernandez we all know and loathe

[John_Havok]

Fight me ya bike

[Spanky99]

Hahaha... Rivera's an eejit... he has someone blackmailed.

[BigCecil]

I just don’t get why Windmill Rivera wouldn’t send KK, but he sent Vlad the other day a demonstrably worse scenario without a problem.

 

For sure. But honestly he held up at 2B a bit in case it got fielded in front of him. I don't think he would have been able to score.

 

With the guys we had coming up he gambled we should plate him with 1 out. Bad gamble lol

[Nursehoneybadger]

the rockies have been slept on this year, they have a good lineup and this pitcher has a family to feed, he needs this win more than the jays need a playoff spot.

Jones has a gun

Hahahaha... we're all reaching for offense, seriously though, they have to go right f***in' now.

[John_Havok]

Now that’s one hell of a good approach by Belt

[Omar]

I should have taken Belt in the HR contest. I'm a dummy.

[Spanky99]

Swing and a BELT!!!

[Spanky99]

Hahahaha... we're all reaching for offense, seriously though, they have to go right f***in' now.

 

Belt heard me.

[John_Havok]

Jones has a gun

 

I know that. Just saying he sent Vlad to be a dead duck by 20 feet two days ago when it was obvious he would be out to anyone with eyes, and Vlad is slow. iF you’re going to gamble, gamble on a guy with speed, not a guy who “runs” like a wounded water buffalo
