[hanton]

Maybe i didn't see the replay properly but could have Vlad stretched more to get that out?

 

It's a standard stretch on the dp

[Jonn]

Do we have monkeys in the replay booth?

 

Don't disrespect monkeys like that. Replay guys are probably from Oshawa.

[hanton]

unbelievable

[Jonn]

Fermin doesn't even look a real person. He looks like a ventriloquist dummy

Nothing easy this season.

I never understood the head on upper arm stance guys, imagine the neck pain!

It's our management's wet dream

[CJ-Freeway]

Dumb freakin replay challenge

It’s their last chance to use it. In the 9th they ask for and it is granted. It’s a good review for that reason.

John Schneider probably smoking a cigarette in the dugout right now.

[Laika]

Phew

[Stangstag]

The pen has been an absolute mess these past few weeks

[bones10]

Lol isn’t the replay irrelevant after 7th inning anyways cause you can just ask the umps? Also it looks like the replay guy was just taking too long so Schneider said f*** it challenge

[Laika]

Please stop complaining about "emptying the bullpen"

 

It's like you all missed Kikuchi last year

 

If he gives you five good innings and is at 90 pitches you thank the Lord

In fairness the bullpen is constantly faltering tonight. You can only wait so long.

 

The smart way of doing things would have been letting the Rotation pitch deeper into games earlier in the Season so you can use the bullpen more freely down the strech. But the Jays have been managing their bullpen like its October since April.

[jaysthebest]

Was it John or FO's decision to pull Kikuchi too early and use as many relief pitchers as possible?

. I thought it was 8th but you may be right.

Yeah. Might as well challenge anything that looks close live, in the 7th

[Jaysareus]

Jay's got a huge gift call on that springer check swing call

it started with removing Kikuchi so early, you have to let your starter go a deep as possible this late into the season

still though it was not close

Poor dead horse.

[metafour]

still though it was not close

 

So what? Maybe it gives your pitcher a few extra seconds to rest after that close play before the next at-bat.

 

This whole challenge nonsense is bitching to bitch. You lose NOTHING by challenging there. NOTHING. Again, anything past that point is getting auto-reviewed.

It's like you all missed Berrios last year

FTFy

[jaysthebest]

Bo I love you, but you should've just taken those pitches...

[Jaysareus]

Will be a scary 9nth with romano

This whole challenge nonnext play could have beensense is bitching to bitch. You lose NOTHING by challenging there. NOTHING. Again, anything past that point is getting auto-reviewed.

 

would they still get a challenge on the next play?
