Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v4 |Next: Mon, May 24 |vs TB| 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT | Yarbrough vs Stripling (last Dunedin game)

[Emerica]

Dolis was perfectly fine in his role as a low leverage guy.

Putting him out in close games late as we seen last season, almost never ended well

My thoughts exactly. He's the last guy i would want in a high stakes inning.

The boys deserved this one. Dolis threw the game

 

[Blitzkrug]

The plus side is the Jays hung in that series the whole way. Won game 1 behind a dominant performance, battled last night but lost (wouldn't be usually happy about a 13-9 loss but the fact the Jays offense was good enough to make it interesting that's a huge plus) and then had this game in the bag and blew it.

Still lots of positives to take away and i still don't think the Sox are all that good. Their pitching got shelled in all 3 games, they were just lucky enough to come away with 2 of the 3

 

[The Nemesis]

I think they got him.

Nice play by Kay.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Strike number 4 and it's a 2-2 count

 

[TF97]

I see that Jerry Meals is in mid season form

"The count is 0 and 4, there are 4 outs"

I don't follow the minors much (in any sport for that matter) but is there a reason why the Rays dumped a decent starter in Adames, who was blocking the best prospect in baseball and then NOT call him up?

Service time manipulation?

 

[Deebo]

Is "focus on the hitter, forget about the runner" on the Buck and Pat bingo card?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Apparently only 3 of the 5 Jays starters are even capable of throwing a strike.

The guy they called up is a highly touted prospect too, and older/more experienced and having a better season.

Montoyo's expression said something there. He shook his head at Kay for falling behind with a 3-0 lead

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ben Wagner goes through the whole explanation of Walk to strikeout ratio to explain the 17 T-shirt and how they want it to be 17% or lower. Buck then completely misunderstands and used strikeout to walk difference to say Kay is at 0(3 minus 3) rather than 100%(3/3). Did he really think the Jays wanted the entire staff to have just 17 more strikeouts than walks over the course of the season?

 

[Cloned]

I'm not sure I can handle two straight games of blown 2 run leads...

 

[stickty111]

Semien's baseball IQ on full display there

 

[stickty111]

Lol Kay. You do that after Semien helps you out

 

[Cloned]

Pull him. I have more faith in Thornton.

 

[Cloned]

Also I really hate Brandon Lowe.

I hate Nate Lowe (who they traded to Texas) too.

 

[stickty111]

You are in trouble if you fall behind Vladdy

 

[stickty111]

Buck blaming analytics for Kay falling behind hitters. What a surprise

 

[Cloned]

Geez I hope Hatch comes back and pitches well. Can't stay Kay now.

 

[phillipmike]

La Russa: Jays are the most disrespectful team in baseball.

 

[The Nemesis]

What are your thoughts on Derek Lowe?

 

[Cloned]

What are your thoughts on Derek Lowe?

Ambivalent.

I only hate the Lowe's that the Rays sign as "moneyball" under-the-radar types that come out of nowhere to hit 20 HR and .270.

 

[habamillions]

McGuire couldn't handle the tip. Thats a first

 

[Cloned]

Never played baseball so I don't know, but is a high fastball really that enticing to swing at? I mean it seems like 95% of hitters swing and miss at those pitches. I get that you can hit homers on them, but it happens so rarely in relation to how many swing and misses you get.
