WC GDT: Jays @ Twins Game 1, Best of 3... So It Begins...

[Jays24]

Get Gausman the f*** outta here

[Olerud363]

Man, everything is hit hard FFS

 

Guys are claiming that Gaussman needs to control the fastball, but he just did against Taylor. 2 fastballs low at the bottom of the zone. Taylow had great swings at both like he knew it was a fast ball not a splitter.

[bones10]

He isn’t tipping s***, he’s command is awful LOL

[JFD]

Can't trust a pothead.. fkn loser

[Grant77]

Gausman is somehow telling them what is coming, they are it swinging at the splitter. This is not the first time we see this about Gausman, we need a camera on the catcher to see it.

 

I criticize the Jays coaching staff, but we're not going to see it on TV if they don't.

[Delgalladay]

Ump bailed him out there

[gruber92]

We got a massive break on that call.

agree

[Zacman]

Someone with more knowledge, is it dangerous to throw the splitter for a strike?

[Jaysareus]

That was not a strike

[glory]

Umpire trying to help Gausman out. I’ll allow it.

Yes, that is odd... must be tipping his pitches like Arod mentionned.

[DigitalRock]

Ump helped gausman there

[Stangstag]

Its a bit of both

[Omar]

Settle down lads. Let's Go JAYS!!!

[Grant77]

I want to see more sliders next inning. They are sitting fastball every time he throws it.

 

It seems to me that they recognize splitter, but not the other pitches.

[Spanky99]

Well this is already looking like one for the toilet.

 

Dude???

[bones10]

Try and get 5 out of him, would be plenty at this point

[Stangstag]

I kinda want to see some splitters in the zone. Worth a shot

[Masterbather]

In the first inning his splitter was mostly not competitive, but in this inning he threw a few that were and they weren't swinging. Maybe they have something, or they're just not swinging at anything that starts at the knees and hoping that will be the trick.

[glory]

This is one of the few times I hope Schneider goes with a quicker hook. Whether it’s tipping, or command, or both, the Twins are getting great swings/contact on Gausman, and the umpire just saved what could have been a big inning for the Twins there.

[Grant77]

Someone with more knowledge, is it dangerous to throw the splitter for a strike?

 

It usually is, but they aren't swinging at it, so perhaps not.

He just got Polanco out on one.

[Zacman]

It usually is, but they aren't swinging at it, so perhaps not.

 

They have to try.

[Delgalladay]

Our hitters need to be more aggressive on the first pitch. Vlady, Bo, and Varsho all took 2 strikes before swinging.

[Zacman]

Two horrible at bat's, come on...

[BigCecil]

Yep. Low let it go. High let it fly. His command is off. Doesn’t help.

[Stangstag]

Yep, need an aggressive approach today. Lopez is pounding fastballs

Schneider is quite bad about pulling the trusted guys early. They basically target 100 pitches every start regardless of results.

[JFD]

Lopez cruising now
