  1. Oh no. Bases loaded. No Outs. This is not Jays' forte.
  2. George is dying out there
  3. Didn't give that call for Strip twice but gave it for Ras. HM.
  4. Literally, 0 f***s.
  5. He should've been K-d if the ump gave us the borderline; damn it.
  6. Stripling literally gives no f***s about these Rays batters lol.
  7. 363 ft lol, f*** it, we take those LAs.
  8. 10th youngest ever to hit 100 HRs
  9. There it is, did not miss that meatball
  10. > Left-hander Shane McClanahan is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Tampa Bay’s series finale against Toronto at 3:07 p.m. ET. McClanahan has not pitched for the Rays since Aug. 24, as he was scratched from his Aug. 30 start in Miami moments before first pitch due to a left shoulder impingement. Perfect
  11. lol Clevinger is so bad; 3 - 0 already for Mariners. JRod's 26th HR and Suarez's 31st HR.
  12. At the end of the day, he is missing meatballs, the pitches in his wheelhouse that are either mid 90 fastballs or mid 80 sliders are being fouled back. Like you can be Kyle Schwarber and have an absolute s*** recognition of the strike zone and uncomfortable swing, but if you give Schwarber a meatball, it is getting launched. He definitely gets them, in fact (for LTBF's sake) I start mentioning them in the GDTs every time it happened during his AB and he just does not do damage with them. Like almost every meatball is fouled back or watched. Just look at the AB on Monday night against Adams - swings at garbage, watches the absolute meatball go by (the similar pitch that Bo cranked a HR on) and then swings at garbage again. So it begs to differ, what is he looking for? Why is his discipline so bad of late that he just doesn't commit to things he can drive instead of trying to make contact with every pitch in existence? Is he 'pushing to be the hero'? Why, what in the last 140 games led him to believe this approach is heroic? Is he 'struggling'? Then stop with the swing happy approach - get deep into counts, take the walks, let the ones he can't drive go (until its 2 strikes and you have to protect), sit on the pitches that he can drive and then take them right center (so be late the on the swing, but drive them) - once you get comfortable, then start pulling them for HRs. There are so many ways to address this issue with him, and at the least, get him to have competitive ABs instead of grounding out or praying for holes every AB. If their mantra to him is "keep doing what you are doing and you'll get there" after 140 games, its kind of stupid. He's 23, and on all accounts, immature as f*** in and off the field but we are going for a playoff run not fostering/building like the Os are, who have the luxury of sitting there and watching Gunnar fumble every single groundball to his side.
  13. Hell ya. Great comeback (despite all of Vlad's shenanigans)
  14. that fastball has more movement than Berrios' fastball lol
  15. His release point is a bit off on that 2-seamer, definitely needs work.
  16. hopefully or kikuchi edit: pop I guess
  17. Also Teo hurt that slider. 110 EV
  18. Its interesting that everyone and their grandmother should know by now that Romano starts with like a streak of 5-10 sliders every game, yet they can't seem to square it up/pull the trigger.
  19. It has always been a thing, they never bring out Bass back to back innings, irrespective of pitch count. They must have a reason.
  20. Springer: "Iunno man, you told me all these things but I just sat back on a slider and launched it." to Guillermo
