Immaculate win and half the pages in this thread are you guys jerking off to Ryan Yarbrough "saving the Yankees pen"

lmao what is wrong with you people 

[Omar]

Red Sox down 5-1 to the Diamondbacks in the 4th

Man Gausman is f***ing turning it on lately. Keep this rolling and i am very confident in him as a game one starter. Channeling some peak ace gausman energy. 

I give Atkins a lot of s***, but he is an extremely successful FA signing. 

[Jays24]

Wild that everyone (including me) were crowning Seattle as the biggest threat in the AL and now theyre hanging onto the last WC spot by a thread with 4 teams right there.

Yankees have been pitching well, their starters in particular.  A few hiccups here and there with the pen but why in the hell would they not feel super confident right now? They can hit and they can pitch. Jays can hit but recently can't pitch. 

The Yankees should be licking their chops at a potential sweep this weekend. We got them at a perfect time when we faced them before and after the All-Star break, they are catching us at a perfect time right now.

 

Hey Masterbather:

[Brownie19]

Big f*cking Dib boys. I was at Morgan Wallen (humble brag - incredible show) and missed it, but was checking on my phone.  Gausman absolutely shoved and a huge game from our start player.   Well done. Now let's go get Game 2.

Wallen brought out Jose and was wearing a Doc jersey.

Masterbather after he dared us to the bet the Jays! 

[G-Snarls]

Gausman last 2 starts 

Vs Brewers 7 IP 1 run

Vs Yankees 8 IP 1 run

Unfreakinbelievable 

[Jesusindashed]

Red Sox lose too it was a great day

[Laika]

The amazing this is that Cam Schlittler didn't even look bad. I mean he looked great for most of this. Nasty stuff and he threw strikes. The Jays just game planned him perfectly and spoiled so many good pitches. Like how many 99mph heaters just above the zone did they foul off?

[Governator]

and some of you said you'd be happy with just 1 win this series...

Keep it rolling

I kinda miss the times when this type of workload was considered normal for your #1 and #2.

Given some of the Blue Jays bullpen struggles, we need some SP's like Gausman to go 7 or 8 innings if they can. Makes it much easier to manage the bullpen afterwards rather than from the 5th/6th inning on.

Hopefully the Jays get this Gausman in the Postseason. Would be huge!

If Gausman is cruising through, I hope we don't see him lifted by the 5th or 6th inning in a Postseason game. Given the pen struggles and volatility lately, that extra inning or two we can get from Gausman or Bieber can really help.

I do also, to a point.

The thing is, hitters from 1-9 now are far better at doing damage on balls in play so "pitching to contact" isnt as valid a strategy as it used to be. 

Pitchers were careful with a teams top 3-5 guys but the bottom 3 or 4 were just...fastball down the middle and watch them ground out to the IF for the most part. Saved a lot of pitches that way
