GDT - KC Royals @ Toronto Blue Jays (1/3) 7:07pm ET

[CJ-Freeway]

Swanson continues to look like s***.

 

Can't believe we gave Teo to get him

[Jays24]

Can't believe we gave Teo to get him

 

We could have gotten Teo back this offseason too, which is what I wanted.

[hanton]

Swanson continues to look like s***.

 

medium/low leverage reliever, gotta bring the heat

[Omar]

Can't believe we gave Teo to get him

 

2023 Swanson > 2023 Teo

[hanton]

wtf 96 from Swanson?

[Laika]

Pearson to close it out?

 

Gulp.

[CJ-Freeway]

We could have gotten Teo back this offseason too, which is what I wanted.

 

That would've been awesome

[CJ-Freeway]

Pearson to close it out?

 

Gulp.

 

That s*** is gonna be stressful to watch.

[Jays24]

That would've been awesome

 

Seemed like a great fit but we went with KK for some stupid reason.

[Omar]

Vladdy feeling it.

[hanton]

That's more the old swing.....easier on a pitch near your eyes

[bones10]

2021 Vlad sighting ?

[Jays24]

Please get Nate another run... my butt can only take so much clenching

[43211234]

Tonight is a turning point in Nate Pearson's career.

 

2.45 ERA over the rest of the season.

[hanton]

Nick Anderson just randomly appeared - didn't know he was with the Royals

[Jays24]

Here we go

[Omar]

Let's go Nate. You can do it!

[CJ-Freeway]

One more Nate, come on...!

[CJ-Freeway]

Man I forgot that Perez was part of that 2015 Royals team that f***ed us up.

[Omar]

Never in doubt!!!! The good guys pull out a gutsy win.

 

[BigCecil]

Had to listen to that game on radio watching son play ball in snow tonight. Man that sounded tense. Atta boy Nate. W!

[CJ-Freeway]

Good job boys!!!

[Eat My Shatkins]

Never doubt Nate "The baby faced killer" Pearson

[bones10]

Haven't looked into it too much but just from that outing alone seems like Pearson should be a fastball knuckle curve guy only. Bettances type.

[Angrioter]

Pearson is good, again

[Laika]

Pearson looked good

 

Pesky Royals put a couple good swings on him but they weren't bad pitches. On the black.

 

Stuff looked phenomenal against Massey in the last AB

[hanton]

JT "..alot of hard hit balls IN THE AIR" That's the way.....

[Terminator]

People jumped the gun on excitement for him after 7 innings. We still don't know what he's going to be and we still don't know if he's better off being a bullpen arm. The number five slot is a concern long-term, especially given his innings limit.

 

No there’s super fancy computer models that can predict if you’re good or not after 50 pitches

 

Barger did him zero favors in that first inning. I think this first year is going to be somewhat of an adventure with having not pitched last year and throwing in relief in Japan the year prior anyway.

 

But the Stuff models really like him and so does Steamer. Masturbator (disgusting username btw) is right that the #5 will become an issue at some point with his innings limit. He looks good enough to make it to the ASB at which point we can trade for one if we have to.

[Terminator]

Ben Shulman was pretty good on the mic tonight I thought. So was Siddall.

[43211234]

Yeah Ben is a nepo baby but he was pretty confident and smooth tonight.
