Blue Jays GDT: ('14 v4) Next Game: @Pit| Fri, May 2 |7pm ET/4pm PT| B.Morrow vs G.Cole

[Quares27]

Mcgowan and Redmond are a mess... brutal

 

[Woodman19]

This is 100% Karma for the Jays starters inability to go deep for so long. The pen should take the night off.

 

[EpochLink]

Lol! Oh boy

 

[Longshot]

Third pitcher.

They haven't got 15 outs yet.

They've turned a 6-1 lead into a 9-6 deficit.

At what point do the Pete Walker questions start?

 

[calcal798]

Redmond making absolutely no case for himself to take over the rotation spot that McGowan will soon be vacating. Could be Happ by default until the kids are ready.

Nolin's looking ready. Stroman can replace Morrow in June.

 

[Woodman19]

Third pitcher.

They haven't got 15 outs yet.

They've turned a 6-1 lead into a 9-6 deficit.

To be fair, with the exception of Buerhle (and Hutch due to his youth) we have no pitchers who throw strikes on a consistent basis. High walks come back to bite you in the ass in the end.

Not getting another starter should also be questioned. They are lucky Hutch has done better than expected.

Pen already took their night off the game they gave up 8 walks in the 8th.

We've already had our karma damn it.

 

[Longshot]

Nolin's looking ready. Stroman can replace Morrow in June.

If Nolan is ready. He needs to be here for this spot in the rotation's next start. There is absolutely no value to the organization to keep seeing McGowan get bombed and not make it through five innings.

 

[TMLeafer]

You must be kidding.

 

[SoulOnIce]

Ervin Santana really screwed the Jays. Did what was best for him but man did the Jays need that signing.

 

[Longshot]

To be fair, with the exception of Buerhle (and Hutch due to his youth) we have no pitchers who throw strikes on a consistent basis. High walks come back to bite you in the ass in the end.

Yeah, and? When to the Pete Walker questions start? Is control not an issue a pitching coach should be able to handle?

 

[habamillions]

hopefully the jays still have some offense left. well that is if they ever get to bat again

Coaches game plan

Players execute


The Jays coaches can tell them to throw strikes until they go blue in the face, but in the end the players failing to do so is why we are having this issue so consistently.

 

[Canada4Gold]

The last inning Fransisco led off we scored 6 runs.

Lets do that again

 

[canucksfan]

Tillman could get the win.

 

[Longshot]

Rasmus looks utterly clueless at the plate. He could be taking a giant step back this year.

 

[Woodman19]

Tillman could get the win.

He deserves it now, hes throwing strikes and making quick work of the Jays while we are trying to throw strikes.

 

[shaner8989]

AA is a failure. Period. His time is over. Can his ass

 

[canucksfan]

Jays starters have to go a lot longer, Buerhle not included.

 

[Longshot]

He deserves it now, hes throwing strikes and making quick work of the Jays while we are trying to throw strikes.

The approach Tillman took after he got down 6-1 is what McGowan should have done when up 6-1. Throw strikes, work quick, use your fastball and make them swing the bats.

Instead McGowan was up there nibbling and throwing breaking balls, trying to be fine and it all blew up in his face.

 

[Longshot]

AA is a failure. Period. His time is over. Can his ass

You realize the Jays were one game out of a first place coming into today game right?

 

[Longshot]

Jays starters have to go a lot longer, Buerhle not included.

The more I see them pitch, the more I think they're simply not capable.

 

[trellaine201]

Jays starters have to go a lot longer, Buerhle not included.

Same staff as last year pretty much. Same results. Consistency for sure.

 

[Woodman19]

AA is a failure. Period. His time is over. Can his ass

What is most disappointing to me is that in his tenure, we have had 15 first or comp round picks through 4 drafts and all we really have to show for it is Stroman, Sanchez and Syndergaard (who we traded). If you can't hit on a couple stars with 15 top picks then there is something wrong.
