GDT - Game #11 - Home Opener - April 08 7:07 ET - M's @ Jays

[Omar]

Berrios has been worth the price of admission!! Honourable mention to Biggio and Babe

 

KK not bad either.

[G-Snarls]

Berrios just Killen em

[Spanky99]

Jays had a .583 Slg against Castillo, got to love seeing that.

[hanton]

Berrios at 86 pitches - let him go

[Omar]

wtf ump? 6 inches off the plate.

[bluejaysinternNo5]

Poor IKF

[John_Havok]

Man Biggio's defense is improving as much as his hitting. I haven't heard from the "He's only here because of his last name" crowd in a long while.

 

I still hate his passive plate approach. He lets way too many crushable balls sail past him.

[Spanky99]

lol... CB Bucknor'd.

[el duque]

This ump is worst than hernandez yesterday

[John_Havok]

lol... CB Bucknor'd.

 

There should be a rule in baseball where teams cannot have CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez as home plate umps in back to back games.

[The_DH]

This ump is worst than hernandez yesterday

 

Got a concussion.

[Terminator]

The great Geddy Lee is in attendance tonight

 

I bet you he isn't panicking about the 4-6 start

[BCZ]

What is the point of umps if they make calls this s*****...

[hanton]

Bucknor. come on

[BCZ]

Don't these umps ever go back and review tape and think to themselves "God damn I'm awful at my job"

[Spanky99]

lol... I said something similar earlier.

[hanton]

Berrios has that ball jumping all over the place

[Orgfiller]

Gorgeous pitches from Berrios.

[keggy]

Berrios going deep is big after the bullpen destruction in New York

[Omar]

Berrios is on point tonight, but man, these Mariners can't buy a run to save their lives.

[Spanky99]

Great outing by Jose, he brought it tonight.

[The_DH]

Don't know if I'd waste Garcia and maybe use Pearson instead. Up 4-0 may be a good spot for him.

[BigCecil]

So good to see Berrios rebound with an incredible home opener do over!

[el duque]

Chapeau pour José

[Terminator]

Just turned on the game, is anyone else bothered by the huge digital banner behind home plate? It is so distracting and ugly When the Ozempic banner was up there, Berrios' windup seemed jerky, like it was interfering with the digital ad. Ugh I can't believe after all the hype with the renos that it will actually be painful to watch the games

 

It depends.

 

The Canada Dry ads look pretty darn good actually.

 

But then it will switch to some bright red one that sucks.

[gruber92]

Berrios showing a lot of emotion exiting the game there. You rarely see him get that intense, I'm thinking part of it was being pissed he couldn't finish the inning.

[Angrioter]

La maquina

[Carlos Danger]

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, Berrios covered his mouth with his glove and shouted f***! As he was walking off the mound.

[Pinkfloid]

You know, you're 100% right. Soothing colours tend to look better when the banner is so obnoxiously large. It's too bad they couldn't just have ads on either side of the plate but leave the area right behind the batter as the more neutral, natural brick wall.

I think he got a soft choice to stick for one more batter but understood it’s more important to save those bullets. He was just pissed that such a s***** hit happened on his last hitter when he finished strong.
