GDT - Game #23 - April 22 7:49 ET - Jays @ Royals (Game 1/4)

[BlueJays]

I don't like the idea of taking Kikuchi out with 81 pitches.

especially with the bottom of the line-up. Brain fart again by Schneider

[Jays24]

So with all that information, this team decided Swanson was ready to go. Dudes been utter trash every outing.

[HomeRunHomer]

Swanson was so good last year until his arm fell off. Now he's looking very iffy.

[bronson44]

Swanson about to put us in crisis again

[Jays24]

Turner you stud... way to make up for the other play and then some!!

[HomeRunHomer]

Nice play to get the runner at home.

[keggy]

Don't love that play when we're counting outs but Turner clearly knows what he's doing.

[Carlos Danger]

Is that you Buck?

 

It simply isn't true. Velocity has give MLB so many more quality arms. Go look at the results v. high velo. If a feel for pitching was producing top results, we'd see all kinds of pitchers throwing 89 with 2 seam movement, hitting corners.

 

No fan of Buck. However, what he was trying to say and you hyperbole his point, is that velocity without command and control or location and feel is nothing.

 

More important than 101 mph is pitch sequence and location.

 

The 2015 Blue Jays loved flame thrower fastball guys. They got f***ed up by changeup speed and location pitchers.

Good call.

[jaysthebest]

Thank god Swanson didn't allow a run..

[Jays24]

Good call.

 

Thank Turner for saving Swanson's ass. Definitely not a good outing lol

[Daniel Labude]

Wtf was Bo swinging at lmao

[HomeRunHomer]

:(

[Carlos Danger]

Come on KK. I am a coach on my older kids baseball team and have taught them since they were 5 to wait until the ball hits the ground before you advance unless two outs. Every time a runner gets on base we reiterate it.

[Orgfiller]

Davis Schneider is snakebit today. Three balls hit hard, first robbed by Witt Jr., the second 389 foot bomb to straight CF, and then a 101 mph line out double play. s*** luck.

[G-Snarls]

Filthi Yimi

[Omar]

Yimi's dream season continues.

[BigCecil]

Have to admit I wasn't thrilled when Yimi hit the innings in '23 to roll his deal into '24, but at this point his $6M deal is a godsend.

[Orgfiller]

Nick Anderson is cooked. Long way from the monster he was on the Rays a few years ago.

[Jays24]

I am still in shock how great Garcia has been this season. Hope he can keep it up because that's something that would be massive for us in the playoffs.

I have been a Yimi critic… he has been a beast so far this season

[Jays24]

Time to move Springer down in the lineup. Enough is enough lol

[jaysthebest]

Springer needs a day off. He's an automatic out.

[Omar]

Springer's AB's are not good.

[Masterbather]

I have been a Yimi critic… he has been a beast so far this season

I keep waiting for the news of a failed drug test but until then, keep it pushing Yimi!

[DigitalRock]

Team is winning and Vlad looks lost at the plate he needs to get going

[Masterbather]

Team is winning and Vlad looks lost at the plate he needs to get going

 

He's been lost for a couple of years now. What do people keep waiting for?

[BigCecil]

I have been a Yimi critic… he has been a beast so far this season

 

If i recall it seemed like he was solid when asked to go 1, but often when he was asked to sit between innings and come back out, he was no bueno.

[Orgfiller]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone square up a Romano slider like that.

[G-Snarls]

Nice!!

 

Great win
