  1. You like that airmail to first base as well? Lol
  2. Tell me you trust this guy in the playoffs...
  3. We're all hoping like hell that Bieber comes back as a number one. We're also hoping as hell that Gausman can establish himself as a true number two. Would have been nice to have him show a little bit more against this lineup.
  4. Gausman was okay. I would have preferred that the worst lineup in baseball didn't give him as much trouble as they did but it's not like it was a disaster either.
  5. He's trying to get on base against a tough pitcher that's kicked his ass.
  6. We have to accept that Ty France is the captain now.
  7. No it was at the top of the inning. The color guy unwrapped a new baseball and that made a lot of noise on the mic and play by play called him out. And it was because he wanted to demonstrate Gausman's grip, then play by play guy was like well why not do that when Gausman is pitching? Skenes is pitching now. So color guy continues to talk about Gausman's pitching because he got called out. It goes back and forth a bit. Then when the inning ends, play by play mockingly says that color guy is going to probably show you a Skenes pitch in the next half inning (mocking him because Skenes will no longer be pitching in the next half inning)
  8. Is anybody watching the Pirates feed? Cuz there was a weird moment from the last inning where the play by play dude was being extremely passive aggressive with color guy, I don't know who they are I didn't catch their names but it was pretty funny if it was serious.
  9. Asking a Blue Jays pitcher to not serve up any meatballs seems impossible these days but if you can avoid doing that, they will have to string together good at bats and they're not built to do that. I don't suspect we're going to get much of anything off Skenes so we might be able to win this game late as long as Gausman doesn't f*** us.
  10. He's been a pretty good player from 2021 to 2024. Don't know what happened to him this year, maybe just some bad luck? There's no real risk for them. Maybe playing in a situation that matters will revive him a bit. Could work out real well as a platoon option at first.
  11. Yeah a lot of people wanted to anoint him immediately. He hasn't been great.
  12. The problem with Berrios is the fact that he has multiple years left on his contract. I don't want that to influence any decisions the Blue Jays make with him but it probably will.
  13. I guess Marcus still loves hitting in Toronto.
  14. I used to feel the same way at first, but then you'd get grey areas and judgment calls. Now I think we should aim to have calls as black and white as possible and whether you have contact with the bag is black and white.
  15. There is literally one place you cannot pitch Marcus Semien and that's where keep missing on him.
  16. I do think it was time to take Lukes out from the top of the order. He's a nice player and a decent hitter, but he's not one of the guys I'm comfortable having the most at bats in a game.
  17. He may push Eovaldi to his highest pitch count of the season today unless he's flat of getting smacked.
  18. The one thing Fluharty has in his advantage is that he's our only other lefty in the pen. That makes him extremely valuable. I don't think he's going anywhere unless he f***s up.
  19. Now you're giving teams an advantage for the fact that they suck and possibly mismanage their own bullpen. Some sort of mercy or forfeit rule is coming at some point that's where this is all headed. I don't see how people don't see this.
  20. Heiny didn't kill our run differential too much in that inning.
  21. Now you're getting into the territory of forcing already overused bullpens to have to pitch more innings. The game is different now, bullpens are used extensively guys are throwing harder, the rules of the game have to change. Mercy rules have existed in baseball at various levels and various tournaments. It's nothing new. The whole fans paid for the game stuff is irrelevant because most fans don't really care once the game gets to this point. Maybe don't allow it until at least the end of the 7th, but teams should have the right at that point to say, we're beat, see you tomorrow.
