GDT: New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays 3/4 (4:07et)

[G-Snarls]

Bunting Kirk over for KK is beyond dumb. This team loves giving away outs during rallies.

 

Yeah

 

Now it's up to Bo

[Stangstag]

Man - it's fun to watch Vlad when he's hot. Great to see Springer getting hot. This may be why the team stuck with their vet.

 

Nice that he finally decided to start lifting the ball. And he’s hitting fastballs way better than he did the first couple months

[HomeRunHomer]

I was not a fan of the IKF signing but he's really living up to his end of deal!

[Jaysareus]

They will need extra runs with Zack pop coming in

[HomeRunHomer]

More runs!!!

[G-Snarls]

Lol

 

Vladdy swings at the one pitch he shouldn't have and drives in 2 runs

[Jaysareus]

Is 7 runs enough?

[Omar]

Seriously, is it the haircut? the reverse Samson effect? what happened?

[G-Snarls]

Have you seen our current bullpen

[Masterbather]

Yeah, one of the few things that have really gone right.

[Masterbather]

One of the most confounding players I've ever seen.

[Jaysareus]

Kirk has had an incredible day

[G-Snarls]

I actually like watching THIS version of the team

[Jaysareus]

Only in big leads would I trust Zack pop

[hanton]

Just tuning in......leading by 7 runs in the 8th with no runners on and JS is playing match-ups? lol

[Jaysareus]

Not only only is springer hitting he appears to have grown hair on his bald spot.

[Jaysareus]

Clay Holmes is a lot better than Zack pop

[Jaysareus]

iKF quietly havig the best year of his career

[Omar]

Atkins should give IKF an envelope with a wad of cash inside.

[Omar]

Not a bad Saturday afternoon. The good guys win!

 

[Jays24]

Do you guys think that Gausman and Bassitt blasting this teams offense has waken them up? The timing of the offense picking it up after that is curious. Or the law of averages is working itself on Vladdy/Springer lol

[Jaysareus]

Kiermeyer may be the next dfa

[G-Snarls]

Kiermeyer may be the next dfa

 

Yes

 

I'd love them to upgrade an an OF position

These guys are just too talented to produce the types of numbers from early on over an entire season. Springer has made adjustments to unlock more bat speed, but I'm not sure if Vlad has done anything mechanical with his swing.

I'm just going to assume that Gausman/Bassitt gave these guys the kick in the ass they needed to figure their s*** out. The fact the fanbase wasn't heavily booing Springer shows how soft we are. Sometimes all you need to feel is the urgency around you.

So the offensive players didn't care enough to try the rest of the season to make the necessary adjustments? That's an incredibly simplistic viewpoint. The fact that the fanbase wasn't booing Springer as much as you'd prefer shows that they are actually decent humans that can recognize he's been trying his hardest at the plate and not mailing it in. He's been busting his ass on the bases and in the field despite the offensive struggles.

 

I have no doubt these guys have been working hard behind the scenes to turn their offensive seasons around and it appears as though some of these dudes have finally found the necessary tweaks with the coaching staff to unlock better results. They know that the fate of the team and their chances to avoid seeing it blown up largely rest on their shoulders and shouldn't need any extra motivation from frustrated pitchers talking to the media to motivate them to try to do better.

Sometimes you can think you are doing your best but need that kick in the ass to make it happen. I'm not saying it's definitely what happened here since I'm obviously not there. I just think there's a chance when you see your own pitchers call the offense pathetic indirectly.

Nope.

 

It's cuz Bassitt and Gausman said so.

[max silver]

Maybe the offense should tell Gausman to stop pitching like a mid rotation pitcher and he'll start working harder to regain the feel for his splitter.
