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

[Jaysareus]

Now they'll burn Swanson

[DigitalRock]

I wouldn't take Gausman out now

 

Schneider takes him out when he finds his grove. Typical JS

[Grant77]

Don't be fooled by the errors. That's FOUR free outs they have handed us. The Springer foul ball to Kepler, the Springer grounder to Polanco, the Kiermaier grounder to Polanco, and the Chapman grounder to Julien.

 

We MUST take advantage.

[G-Snarls]

Need Springer so bad right now

[Spanky99]

Lets Go boys, chip away.

[Jaysareus]

Schneiders decisions killed the jays in playoffs last year same this year.

[Delgalladay]

I don’t know why I was holding out hope this offense would somehow get hot. Same old same old.

[BlueJays]

Trash

Nah, we’ll wait till the 9th inning to mount a rally and fall 1 run short

[Scion]

I fully expect this team to get shutout tonight. It's completely on brand with what they have done all season.

[DigitalRock]

Stranding runners should be the 2023 team motto

[BigCecil]

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

 

Not sure whats up with him but his sprint speed was in the 80s and over the seasons pretty steadily declined to 42nd percentile now.

[Delgalladay]

I fully expect this team to get shutout tonight. It's completely on brand with what they have done all season.

 

I honestly expected them to get shut out both games just like they did against King and Cole the last week.

[connorp]

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

 

It’s the playoffs. I’m sure there’s emphasis about working counts and early on Gausman was putting pitches in the dirt and all over

[Grant77]

They say defense wins championships, but it sure isn't playing out that way so far.

[Scion]

Stranding runners should be the 2023 team motto

 

The lack of home run power exacerbates the issue.

[connorp]

Dumb move pulling gausman

[Daniel Labude]

How bout "RISP is not a skill"

[Grant77]

That's what he always does and is a Cy Young candidate, numbnuts.

[Scion]

Elite teams win Championships. The Jays are not that so we have to hope they get super hot.

[glory]

The Jays don't hit home runs. The hitters can't pull anything. They need to string together 3-4 hits to come back in this game and that's just not a realistic approach in the playoffs against good pitching.

[hanton]

Gausman is your stud workhorse, 73 pitches SMH

[John_Havok]

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.

 

Wait for it. If the Jays lose...

[Daniel Labude]

Dumb move pulling gausman

 

Maybe maybe not, might be planning on an inning or 2 in Game 3 if we make it there

[Jays24]

How bout "RISP is not a skill"

 

Only stat nerds who have never played a sport in their life would believe that lol.

[Omar]

Schneiders thinking is he doesn't want Gausman to face Lewis again. Down three we're still in the game. Down four or more can be unreachable. Agree or not, that is his thinking.

[G-Snarls]

Swanson looking deadly

[Stangstag]

That's what he always does and is a Cy Young candidate, numbnuts.

 

These people don’t watch Gausman normally, you can tell. He almost NEVER throws the splitter for a strike and everyone swings at it

[glory]

A-Rod saying they've already swung and missed more on Swanson's split than Gausman's.

[G-Snarls]

Gausman is your stud workhorse, 73 pitches SMH

 

Pulled after striking out the side
