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

[Laika]

One no hitter ever

 

Seven against. Soon to be eight. Feels like an annual tradition lately.

 

Something pathetic and telling about that. Allergic to excellence.

[MikeM3]

IKF pitching war > hitting war

[tazsub3]

what a s*** team they assembled.

[burlingtonbandit]

There is nothing more frustrating than watching an offence be terrible outside maybe horrible baserunning. To think they could not improve the offence in the offseason, is an absolute farce.

[CJ-Freeway]

Man I f***in hate Ohtani (random rant coz he didn't sign with us)

[Orgfiller]

He’s gonna throw a Maddux on top of everything. This is the most pathetic offensive display I can think of.

I think the only hard hit ball was IKF in, like, the 3rd inning

The season is young

[Dylan]

Well done, Blanco!

[ValiantJaysFan]

I hate this team so much

[Orgfiller]

Well that was f***ing pathetic.

[Spanky99]

Awful game... wash this s*** stain away and get back at it Birds.

[Delgalladay]

I would bet money that’s not the last time this team gets no hit this season

[burlingtonbandit]

Rock bottom in the first week of the season lol. This team is just so frustrating to watch.

[bones10]

Dog s*** team

[Krylian]

I would bet money that’s not the last time this team gets no hit this season

 

But Atkins likes the offence.

[Daniel Labude]

Fire the trash ass hitting coach already. Same thing just like last season

[Masterbather]

Food stamp offense

[BTS]

That was a truly awful performance

[Steeljays]

Fire the trash ass hitting coach already. Same thing just like last season

 

This and I suppose Mattingly would be manager by July

[burlingtonbandit]

Astros should bring out the trash can they used to bang on so the Jays can throw all their bats into it.

[Spanky99]

4 hard hit balls, lol... no bueno.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

I definitely took 2015 for granted lol

[Pinkfloid]

True the Jays had bad ABs and didn't adjust at all once it was apparent Blanco wasn't throwing as many sliders as usual, but still, sometimes you have to tip your cap. Blanco pitched a great game. Good for him.

[jaysblue]

It's still early guys, calm down. Blue Jays lineup will get a couple of hits tomorrow, guaranteed!

[burlingtonbandit]

All this talk about improving the offence from within and better coaching/strategy and they come out and look like they weren't prepared at all. Just piss poor at bats all night throughout the entire lineup.

Not sure what happened with Dante Bichette but when he was in dogout they seemed to have a better approach

Congrats to Blanco. We don’t want to deprive him of an outstanding performance.

 

But for a “spot” pitcher with only two reliable weapon, a slider heavy and a fastball….then a developing splitter, Guillermo Martinez, his hitters were so ill-prepared. No in-game adjustments and just piss poor execution in the box.

 

Another half-ass offseason move by Ross Atkins….rid of his hitting strategist but left the hitting coach carrying the same award winning vision.

 

Love it.

[Spanky99]

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

 

Although that post was egregious, Buck was right in that CU was utilized very well tonight.

Yup, he was superb.
