GDT - Game #5 - April 01 8:10 ET - Jays @ Astros

[Omar]

Well, Francis has owned Bregman tonight with three K's. He's just getting beat tonight.

[Orgfiller]

Bowden has overpowered some pretty good hitters tonight tbh. Stuff clearly plays. He’s gotten some funky swings.

 

Props to the Astros though. They really capitalized on his mistake pitches.

 

Yeah at the end of the day he has 13 swings and misses on 68 pitches. 3 on the fastball, 8 on the curve and 2 on the splitter(?). The average exit velo on the fastball was 97 mph though, when they made contact they really made contact.

[JFD]

Looking like a Ross Atkins built team out there

[Ray]

Cavan really missed a middle middle changeup that was basically a bp fastball. Oof

[Terminator]

Francis needs to get the ball down, these are the hits

 

 

He needs to get the ball higher. Very top of zone or higher. That Diaz homer happened but most guys can’t hit that.

[Daniel Labude]

What gives you this impression? Please tell me it's not because Buck keeps talking about how they were worried about his slider....

 

If you watch the hitters you can tell

[BTS]

I'm pretty inclined to say that Francis will play, and this was mostly just a really good offense putting some great swings on the ball.

[Laika]

lol

 

These are all horrendous at bats

 

I don't think they've had two good at bats tonight

 

I guess the walk and the IKF lineout

[Orgfiller]

They have one hard hit ball (IKF) in 6 innings against Ronel Blanco with 15 swings and misses. Pathetic showing.

[Orgfiller]

There’s been some silly swings on Francis’ curve.

[hanton]

I really hope they give Francis a few more starts

[JFD]

Watching this team is like watching a Ross Atkins interview.

[jaysthebest]

Whoever thinks this team will make a playoff is dreaming.

[Daniel Labude]

KK is fading fast in the outfield lmao

[Angrioter]

Francis fantasy owner over here

[BTS]

Francis fantasy owner over here

 

If you started him in Houston, you deserve what you got

[Laika]

.500 road trip

 

Get Manoah back

 

Go on a roll (to the cellar)

[G-Snarls]

Francis fantasy owner over here

 

My condolences

[BTS]

A couple of good plays from IKF

[Orgfiller]

Silver lining, IKF does in fact look as good as advertised at the hot corner.

[G-Snarls]

The high FB is how he pitches though

 

Houston was just on it. Maybe his spin or command was a bit off. Or they were guessing right.

 

Or it's not a good pitch.

 

Home game in Houston and they seem to know what's coming

 

Why does this sound familiar...

[DigitalRock]

Getting no hit ffs

[G-Snarls]

Silver lining, IKF does in fact look as good as advertised at the hot corner.

 

And leads the team in batting avridge

[Orgfiller]

I am once again in doomer mode on Vlad after seeing him strike out thrice against Ronel f***ing Blanco.

[dippitybop]

Vlad 0-3 with 3Ks

 

Swinging for the moon down 7-0

 

Heard for many seasons he needs to grow up and mature to round out his game.

[bones10]

I am once again in doomer mode on Vlad after seeing strike out thrice against Ronel f***ing Blanco.

 

ditto, holy f*** is this a last year replay.

[Omar]

Someone get a hit please.

[Stangstag]

Did the team have a really late flight or something? This is a joke

[BTS]

Has Varsho made good contact in play yet this season? Holy f*** he looks bad.

[CJ-Freeway]

Wtf is going on lmao

 

I knew we had holes in our lineup, but I didn't think we were gonna nohit on the 5th freakin game of the season
