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

[Cynical]

First time the Twins have looked confused on what Gausman is throwing.

[DigitalRock]

Didn’t it look like he blocked the plate? Maybe not

[Spanky99]

A couple of fastballs at the bottom of the zone and a couple of competitive splitters and he's starting to get some swings

 

Indeed.

[Daniel Labude]

A couple of fastballs at the bottom of the zone and a couple of competitive splitters and he's starting to get some swings

 

Should start that way every game until teams adjust

[Grant77]

Splitters in the zone and sliders are working. The aren't even thinking of offering at the split. The adjustment is a little late, unfortunately.

[Stangstag]

Good adjustments by Gausman throwing the Splitter up more now

[connorp]

Exactly

[jaysthebest]

This team has so many low-IQ guys on the roster lol.

[Stangstag]

Would have been bases loaded with Chapman up.

 

Bo you fucming idiot. Every playoff series, he has been responsible for major f*** ups.

 

- error after error vs Tampa

- injuring Springer when he had no business diving for that ball vs seattle

- now this

 

Also almost collided with Varsho again today. He doesn’t seem to learn

[connorp]

Good adjustments by Gausman throwing the Splitter up more now

 

So it’s suddenly not a fix anymore?

[Masterbather]

They are offering at them. He just didn't do enough early in the game to entice them to.

[Jonn]

Well I finally got to get infront of a TV and Gausman struck out the side so hopefully a change of tune.

[bones10]

Lololololololol tipping bro. f***ing stupid narrative, they had a game plan, eliminate the splitter completely until he throws it for strikes consistently, he never did that until that inning l.

[Fastball21]

Ok that's better, now lets get some runs!!!

[Jays24]

This team has so many low-IQ guys on the roster lol.

 

Management thought they were getting rid of all of them with Teo and Gurriel but little did they know that it's the entire roster.

[Doubleplay21]

Would have been bases loaded with Chapman up.

Chapman is the strike out king of the Jays

[DigitalRock]

Not capitalizing at all so far

 

Story of the season in one sentence

[G-Snarls]

Well I finally got to get infront of a TV and Gausman struck out the side so hopefully a change of tune.

 

Hopefully you arrived in time to save us

[Daniel Labude]

Not too late if the offense does something

[Stangstag]

Should start that way every game until teams adjust

 

Probably yeah. But a lot of guys just swing at the splitter regardless. Even way out of the zone. A lot of you guys clearly don’t watch the majority of Gaus starts

[Olerud363]

Tuned in just in time. Knew this would be prime board meltdown material

 

I haven't seen anyone melting down including myself. Comments are mostly about Gausman tipping against twins, which both A-Rod and Buck Martinez are also talking about (Buck has been talking about this since 2022)

 

And second another baserunning out, which is fair to be frustrated about since it has happened so much this year.

[Stangstag]

I’d let Gausman go 1 more, he looked way better last inning

[Jonn]

Hopefully you arrived in time to save us

 

All I have watched is 3 Gausman strikeouts lol.

 

And now a leadoff single by Chapman.

[Jays24]

Are they really taking out Gausman after striking out the side? Are you f***ing kidding me? This management has 0 feel for games man.

[Jaysareus]

I would have kept gaismnan in for at least another inning

[G-Snarls]

I wouldn't take Gausman out now

[Fastball21]

What? Gausman starts throwing good and they're going to pull him?

[hanton]

Bo needs to lose weight ....like that comment above LOL

[DigitalRock]

Good adjustments by Gausman throwing the Splitter up more now

 

So maybe the twins had a good game plan and Gausman just struggled early?

[Stangstag]

So it’s suddenly not a fix anymore?

 

Yeah so it’s clear you don’t ever watch Gausman pitch
