GDT - Game #3 - March 30 4:10 ET - Jays @ Rays

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** Clement

[G-Snarls]

Is there anything IKF does better than Clement?

 

Other than having MLB experience it doesn't look like it

 

Clement has been good all spring and doesn't look the least bit fazed in MLB action

Backup catcher

[PitaBaby]

Let's gooo

[bones10]

IKF officially redundant

60 wRC+ over 360 PA

[burlingtonbandit]

Yeah there is no way IKF should be playing right now. Ernie's defence has been amazing too.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Clement is officially a guy

[Angrioter]

Clement hits the ball hard

[burlingtonbandit]

Damn that was a hard hit ball by Turner. At least he hit the ball hard..

[Omar]

Where's Kirky for the ph?

[glory]

Why the f*** is Kirk not pinch hitting?

[saskjayfan]

Votto and Jansen could help, a lot.

 

Jays should sign or trade for a corner OF and put Varsho in CF. KK isn't good for 500 PA anymore

 

lol...those were off season moves...too late.

[Jonn]

I have no words

[bones10]

Unload the f***ing bench what is JS doing lol

[JaysAllMighty]

Stupid decision not using Kirk

[PitaBaby]

Cavan! George's getting a new pitcher for sure

[saskjayfan]

come on springer, you're due....three hard hit balls...hit it where they can't catch it...over the fence!

[burlingtonbandit]

I get not PHing with Kirk, you can't just run your catcher into the ground especially with Jansen already on the IL. A Kirk injury would be crippling at this point to an already weak offence.

[BTS]

I’m sure Kirk could have handled a couple of defensive innings. Letting Serven flail away there was pretty questionable

Honestly in that spot I’d almost rather just have IKF backup catcher for a couple of innings and just have Kirk hit.

[BTS]

I’ll say it again: I don’t understand why Varsho can’t catch a dozen or so games a year in situations like this.

[wamco]

Also Kirk on the bench too

 

Kirk not used for serven , 2 on, no out. Serven k

[Angrioter]

Falefa and Varsho aren't catcher anymore

[Omar]

I thought the Jays brought in Demarlo Hale to save Schneider from himself? Not working i guess.

[burlingtonbandit]

2 run lead feels like 5 at this point.

[hanton]

Kirk is capable of coming in and catching LOL come on

[burlingtonbandit]

I think I'd rather Clement at 2nd/3rd and Biggio in LF.

[wamco]

I think the main reason Schneider will not get into the lineup much at 2B to start because the team isn't convinced that his bat plays better than Biggio vs RHP.

 

Plus Biggio seems to be behind both IKF and Clement on the 3B depth chart, meaning the team probably doesn't have much of an appetite to start Biggio at 3B more just to get Schneider more starts at 2B.

 

Against LHP Schneider will start every game at LF.

 

Unfort lhp start games like 25 pct of starts

[hanton]

I think I'd rather Clement at 2nd/3rd and Biggio in LF.

 

Biggio won't (and should not) be used anywhere in the field other than 2b
