McClanahan is a wizard I guess. -
I missed a bit here, did Jansen hurt himself ?
-
It could just be as simple as the Jays thinking anything starting out high is a fastball and they’re giving up on it early, just to watch them plunk in, and not really trying to identify the pitch. He could be tunnelling so well off the fastball that his curve is really hard to pick up. At least that’s what I’m going with right now since it gives credit to the ace rather than just assuming the Jays are horrible at pitch recognition.

f*** this guy is good.
-
Great play Raley. Kudos. Bad job on Chappy for not swinging at that hanging curve. Recurring theme!
-
Vlad should not have swung at that... but we'll take it. RBI
-
Atta boy Bo.. ready for the meatball that time and gets a double. easy stuff (lol)
-
Lukes lost both of those pop ups in the ceiling... good thing Clement was around.
-
I mean, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Humans all fall into patterns
-
It doesnt help that Kikuchi is all over the place tonight.
-
Another 3 hangers not even offered at that inning. Hard to beat a guy when you're not swinging at the heart of the plate offerings. I get that he's pretty good and has some deception but some of thesse meatballs need to be mashed.
-
Im not quite convinced yet. they might just have the greatest advanced scouting system in the game by far... always seems like the hitters know exactly how they are going to be pitched and are ready for everything thrown their way. And i dont mean sign stealing or pitch comm interception or stuff like that, just that maybe their video guys have built such a perfect way to scout opposing pitcher's tendencies to throw a certain pitch here, then a different one there, pitch sequencing predictions etc.
-
Hopefully. Just looking at the approaches of the two teams, Tampa is just always ready to hit mistakes. Jays are really just looking and looking like theyre going to wait him out or something. Hanging lsider to a lefty... mashed. Hanging change to Siri... murdered. Mclanahan has throw 5 pitches in the heart of the plate and has only had 1 swing on them, Springer's first hack at the fastball.
-
f***in hell - Kooch has 0 changeup tonight. everything wide arm side
-
f***ing buzzsaw through this lineup. He has hung some pitches tho... but with no swings on them, but happy to swing at the stuff up out of the zone and way down and in (merrifield). I think McClanahan is just in their head, like he's in pretty much everyone's head. They have to be geared up for 96+ but he can just drop those 85 mph changes and curves in whenever he wants.
-
And he got it right back... danm this guy is so maddenly inconsistent, but the stuff is just so good...
-
f***, Kikuchi lost his offspeed stuff ... dangit
-
I disagree with throwin nothing but fastballs to Paredes, he was obviously sitting on it and had the timing down
-
Heh, Springer check swings a 96mph fastball, goes off the tip of his bat for a foul ball. Franco check swings a 96 mph fastball, into RF for a hit. then Dribbler IF hit, ends up with a run. If that's not the Jays and Rays seasons in a nutshell right now, not sure what is.

Picking locked
-
Nobody brave enough to take Clement??? A career minor league vs arguably the best left hander in the game?
-
Well now im pulling for him for sure.
-
Its the Buck Martinez specialty... "save some for tomorrow boys..."

Awe crap... if wilko picks Springer I might have to change it up. He sucks at this.
