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

[Krylian]

Are we the lowest baseball iq team in the majors?

 

There are minor league teams with higher IQ. Don't limit it to the majors

[G-Snarls]

I'm usually one of the most positive people here but this team ain't winning a playoff series

Say it ain't so bud! We need to make it in and win. Seen a lot of team windows since I've been watching baseball and this one is facing some big decisions in this window sooner than a lot of people think.

[Masterbather]

Thank goodness for this elite bullpen everyone talks about it. Keeping us in the game

[bones10]

Big series and they look like dog s***

Something isn't right with this mix.

The team doesn’t have any HR power for some reason, and now they are minus the two guys who actually displayed power this season (Belt and Jansen). Against good teams this is going to get exposed. Either the pitching is going to carry them or it’s outside looking in.

[Masterbather]

It's built around Bo and Vlad. That's not a winning combination.

 

Please let somebody else pay these guys. I said early in the season, if you ever made the decision to rebuild you have a lot of assets you can use to quickly turn this thing around. But they're going to choke this window to its death and it will not produce a winner.

[G-Snarls]

Need 3 walks off Chapman then we have a chance here

[G-Snarls]

DS doing his part!!!

[G-Snarls]

Double off Scherzer

 

Home run of Chapman

I think JS can save his job if he had the balls to sit Vladdy or even move him to the bottom of the order.

 

I see zero reason why he’s batting 3 spot

We could end up winning the ALCS. Baseball is weird that way. It aint over by any means.

If you traded Vlad, Bo, Springer, Gaussman, Bassitt, Berrios, Kikuchi, Romano how long would it take to come back from that? Would any free agents want to come here after doing that?

[el duque]

We're half way through this series, 0:2, need urgent changes and one of them is Vladdy no longer 3rd

[G-Snarls]

Game over. Biggio and Espinal outmatched.

 

Depressing AF

[Stangstag]

Rangers: haven’t had a SP bank a win in over a month

 

Jays: lemme help you out with that

Bichette is elite.

Both with bases empty unfortunately

Same as always with this group. Hard to keep faith in this team.

Well it would take a couple of years to rebuild but there's no point holding on to a losing formula. This team ain't it because it doesn't have the horses, not really.

[goldbug103]

The concerning truth with Fatty G is that he is unable to hit mistake pitches, centre cut fastballs at 90mph, the kind that good hitters destroy. Why does this team tolerate this, it just doesn’t make sense.

[Stangstag]

Same as always with this group. Hard to keep faith in this team.

 

Yup they consistently fail to rise to the occasion and its been like that all year

[Masterbather]

Bichette is elite.

I would not lock him up for the kind of money he'll want. Especially since we need to think about our next window.

[jaysblue]

Finally nice to see the Sportsnet media personalities criticizing Vladdy and saying he should be moved down in the lineup. They're even now saying it's too late haha.

Well I wouldnt want the crew running things right now making any decisions. When they came on board they mocked AA for his use of the prospects, and said their plan was to have a steady flow of talent

Well all these years later. We have one of the largest payrolls, and no success.

 

I doubt Rogers will put up with this for another year

[BigCecil]

Bichette is elite.

 

3 WAR SS in his prime this year. Thats not that elite. FA at 28 with high chase and low BB rates. Declining D and speed trend already. He has elite bat to ball skills but the aging curve makes that hard to sustain. Its all about the term, position and AAV. He will bet someone will pay him a boat load and test the market.

[jaysblue]

Yimi Garcia pitched great tonight. Just left some pitches over the plate that got hit hard. Bad luck!
