GDT: Texas Rangers @ Toronto Blue Jays (2/4)

[Stangstag]

Not sure. Maybe. The 16 wildcard game win and beating Texas probably sanitized the memories. But I never felt like we were out of games like it’s felt this year too often.

 

I went to 2 of the last 3 games there against the Os in 2016, they lost both. Team looked absolutely toast. And then when they hung onto a playoff spot…. But against the Os?? Things weren’t looking good.

 

Baseball is weird, anything can happen.

 

All things considered i’d be very happy with a Phillies type end to the season here. Even as bad as watching this season has been.

[PitaBaby]

Absolutely horrific

[BlueJays]

LMAO Vladdy

[John_Havok]

Jays have an entire department dedicated to both mental & physical development of players.

 

As do every other team in baseball. But nobody can help a guy not swing at a pitch 2 feet outside.

 

Jesus Christ Vlad sucks right now

[Stangstag]

Lol. Disagree completely.

 

Rose-colored glasses. Your memory is failing you a bit

Yup. New season come playoff time.

[Daniel Labude]

Jays literally can't see or scout at home lmao

[Pinkfloid]

Man, f*** off with that s***, Guerrero

[Casual Fan]

Jose Leclerc just bullied Bo and Vlad

[Stangstag]

Vlad might as well be swinging with his eyes closed

[Omar]

Pete Rose was such a goon.

[TorontonianJD]

Absolutely PATHETIC at bat from Vlad Jr.

 

Just pathetic. Blair and Barker were wondering on their show if he had “checked out”. I’m thinking that is probably the case.

The 2016 team was better than this group. The Jays rotation this season is better but that 2016 lineup was still pretty darn good.

Exactly. The resources are there for player, it will help but skill and talent trumps everything else

[EdwinsParrot]

I'm embarrassed FOR vlad. Its gotten that bad.

[John_Havok]

Yeah, putting this years rotation with that years offense and it’s another WS flag flying.

[jaysblue]

My favourite BP arm is pitching now!

 

On a serious note, have no issue having Garcia pitch here. If the Jays were winning 2-1, I would be s***ing my pants though.

[Stangstag]

Was going to the pen here really necessary

[jaysblue]

Yeah, putting this years rotation with that years offense and it’s another WS flag flying.

 

Yeah imagine having the 2015 or 2016 offense with this years rotation and bullpen. Damn!

[Stangstag]

Jays literally can't see or scout at home lmao

 

Really wonder if something is up with the batters eye or the lights. They seem to hit much better during the day

[Laika]

Maybe the baby blue line on the top of the wall messes up the batters eye and all of our hitters can't stop thinking about it at home

[jaysblue]

That's it Yimi! Huge strikeout!

[jaysblue]

Ryu pitched a solid game. Can't complain with his line at all.

[John_Havok]

I'm embarrassed FOR vlad. Its gotten that bad.

 

I know he’s gonna be kept in the lineup, but the guys needs to sit a game, maybe more.

 

Simply, he’s the worst hitter on the team right now, the worst defender and the second worst baserunner. The only reason he’s gonna be rolled out there everyday is because of that minuscule chance of hitting 100+ over the wall. Everything with Vlad is rock bottom right now.

[jaysblue]

1-out double ripped by Taveras off Yimi! I'm shaking now!

[Stangstag]

Maybe the baby blue line on the top of the wall messes up the batters eye and all of our hitters can't stop thinking about it at home

 

You think they would’ve said something to the front office though and they could fix it sometime when they’re on the road

[Captain_Obvious]

I'm embarrassed FOR vlad. Its gotten that bad.

 

Our genius manager will still reward him with a daily start and the 3rd spot in the lineup.

[Laika]

Imagine if one of our hitters put like a single good swing on a ball?

 

Imagine????

 

That would be cool

[John_Havok]

Exactly. The resources are there for player, it will help but skill and talent trumps everything else

 

They professional dietitians at every level too, despite the beliefs here to the contrary.

[jaysblue]

I take that back. Yimi Garcia should not have been pitching in this game!
