Let's go boy, score first

[jaysthebest]

Okamoto = auto out

[jaysthebest]

He will be hitting the Mendoza Line

[Terminator]

Lauer hitting 88 mph on his fastball today...

[neverbeenhere]

Jesus makes you nervous every time when he catches a flyball 

[Laika]

LMAO Gameday is calling every single Lauer fastball a changeup 

[neverbeenhere]

no......

[Jays24]

Hit and run with your 2nd guy at the plate?

[mphenhef]

I don't recall ever seeing this many bunts go for hits or errors against a team in such a short period of time.

[mphenhef]

It must be a school at the park day as it sounds like a roller coaster there.  It would be nice if Sportsnet would filter out the highest frequency of that for the benefit of my ears.

 

[neverbeenhere]

trouble

Just poor defensive execution for the most part but I agree. Just cost us another run

[Slade]

I am just tuning in now, does Lauer have another excuse on why he is pitching poorly today? 

[jaysthebest]

Good d by Oka there

[JaysFan99]

Lucky to get out of that with only 1 run

[neverbeenhere]

only 1 run, that was the best result

He should have been out of this inning with 0 runs if the team could field bunts.  Hes been excellent otherwise.  

[Laika]

He has not been excellent lol

He was terrified of the Angels that inning, is throwing 88, and has more walks than strikeouts 

[Slade]

Auto out Oka

[jaysthebest]

Okamoto has now reached .198 AVG.

[JaysFan99]

I really thought Oka would at least take a strike that at bat.  We're trying to get this guy out of the game.  No reason to swing 2-0.

He pre-emptively put some KT Tape on his neck so he could complain about it.

[Smokinitup420]

Lauer is a good 2 inning guy outta the bullpen, think he’s a whiney little bish though 

[neverbeenhere]

I thought Lauer was not gonna pitch this inning

Carrying the team on his back must have hurt his neck

[jaysthebest]

Lauer will not complain about the opener at least.

He looks horrible. His back is all taped up for some reason and he's sitting 88. His fastball is so crap that Statcast thinks it's a changeup.

He's got 2 swings and misses the entire day. Thankfully he's getting by because it's the Angels but the dam might break at any moment.

 

[mphenhef]

I didn't realize it but I miss Buck.  He'd be tearing Tyler a new one for the effort to block that "wild pitch".
