GDT - Jays VS Orioles May 14

[The_DH]

Classic Bo!!!

[Spanky99]

Excellent ABs from Springer onwards. Long ABs, good swings. Bradish is getting tired and the stuff is visibly suffering.

 

Definitely making Bradish work, nice to see.

[glory]

Vlad and Bo being dangerous again definitely changes the dynamic of the lineup, especially now that they've conceded that DS is a starter, and Jansen is getting the bulk of the catching time.

[Orgfiller]

Almost seems like Bradish used up all his bullets in the first inning. From the second onwards they've been fouling stuff off and making him work, no longer hitting 97 or 98. He only hit 96 once or twice total that inning.

[Jays24]

Did we just see Springer/Vlad/Bo combine for runs in the same inning? Might be a first for the season lol

Yeah was sitting 94 and the hitters were getting a good read on most pitches

 

Bradish right now is a bit like Gausman this year. The injury has messed with his velo in tiny ways.

[Jays24]

KK was pointing that Varsho had the ball just so Bo wouldn't collide into him recklessly lol

[Orgfiller]

We're pretty spoiled from a pitching defense POV having both Berrios and Kikuchi. Phenomenal athletes on and off the mound.

[Orgfiller]

Convinced DS' walk in his first PA was the catalyst in this game. Bradish was flashing plus stuff until that point until Babe decided to just foul s*** off and not swing at the borderline pitches. Bradish has been rattled ever since.

[Jays24]

Will Vogelbach swing the bat today? Stay tuned

[hanton]

Bat Schneider 9th

[The_DH]

I see Vogel setting up at the plate and I think of Chris Farley doing "fat guy, little coat" thing.

[glory]

Cavan Biggio with tears in his eyes watching that KK at bat.

[Delgalladay]

All these strike outs looking with RISP are quite annoying. You think they'd be aggressive trying to drive in runs.

[BTS]

This team sure looks better when Bo and Vlad are actually doing their jobs

[Jays24]

A ball that Bo should have had but what else is new.

[Spanky99]

Oof... Jano.

[Orgfiller]

Kikuchi rocks.

[Spanky99]

Kooch!

[Orgfiller]

The Orioles using their top relief arm in a relatively low leverage spot in the 5th is an odd choice. Yeah there's something to be said to keeping the top of the lineup at bay, but then you're forced to throw out worse pitchers in potentially more important spots later on. Seems like it's trying to be too smart and actually making a dumn move as a result.

[Orgfiller]

Ugh Vlad, just let him get the easy stolen base

[RotatorCuff]

Ugh Vlad just let him get the easy stolen base

 

that at bat did not go well

[Orgfiller]

What the f***, they called interference and won't let him move on?

[Spanky99]

Interference, man???

[M.E.]

That call makes no sense

[Jays24]

Is the rule that Varsho has to continue going to 3B in order to be awarded the base? The ump clearly pointed to 3B for Varsho but changed his call once Varsho ran back to 2B

[Laika]

wtf is the argument there? he has to run to third and get thrown out for the interference to count?

[hanton]

I think he should get 3rd on that but it was close since he was preparing to take the throw at 2nd then continuing back to his position...

[Jays24]

Is the rule that Varsho has to continue going to 3B in order to be awarded the base? The ump clearly pointed to 3B for Varsho but changed his call once Varsho ran back to 2B

 

Yup... this was the reason. Dumb rule

[Orgfiller]

That's a stupid rule if this is how it's enforced. Varsho shouldn't risk the ump changing his mind and getting thrown out like an idiot for him to be awarded the base.
