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

[Hoverhand]

Vladdy's 4th inning bomb was 117.4 off the bat, do we know if that is his career high?

 

[The Nemesis]

Also small shoutout to Teoscar, who's nearly caught up to Bichette for 3rd on the team in fWAR in spite of only having about half as many plate appearances.

 

[habamillions]

Thank god for vladdy. Bailed out semein and bo.

 

[canucksfan]

He'll start getting intentionally walked a lot more now.

Once Springer gets back I would have Vladdy bat second after Springer.

 

[The Nemesis]

Hell of an outing for Stripling.

This is why he's gotten chances. Because he can do this.

Highest in the league too

 

[Hoverhand]

6 swings and misses on 12 pitches. Hilarious.

 

[stickty111]

That WAR chart is so satisfying.

Everyone knew he had it in him, but damn it feels nice for it to happen.

I have always believed in him, but I wasn't sure how much power there would be. I know criticism was lauch angle but even then I wasn't sure about the power. It sounds crazy now though.

 

[hoglund]

It would be nice for the Blue Jays to walk off their last home game in Dunedin.

 

[canucksfan]

Hopefully they keep out Romano one more inning

Good #5 guy who for the most part will give you quality innings to avoid using multiple bullpen innings.

I would bring up one of the kids from AAA after 2 more starts and slot them in the #4 hole.

Ryn
Ray
Matz
Manoha/Pearson.
Stripling

Have Pearson come up to 5 or 6 games then move him to the pen and then bring up Manoha to fill the last start of the season. Keeps innings in check for both guys

 

[phillipmike]

I was just about to turn the game on, i think im just gonna netflix instead

That’s what I did.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Hate this runner at 2nd shit in extra innings

 

[canucksfan]

Hate this runner at 2nd shit in extra innings

I like it. Ends the game quicker.

 

[trellaine201]

Terrible route to that ball. Oh well he’s not here for his defence.

 

[hoglund]

Hate this runner at 2nd shit in extra innings

I thought that was only for last year because of the condensed schedule.

 

[The Nemesis]

Hate this runner at 2nd shit in extra innings

I hate the artificiality of it, but I recognize the need to make sure games don't drag on. Sure there are times I enjoy a game that gets to like 18 innings, but sometimes I don't want the uncertainty of how long a game is going to last. Like I have plans to get stuff done this afternoon once this is over. We're at 3 hours now. If this became a 5 or 6 hour game that'd be the end of my day.

 

[canucksfan]

The 7th run sucks. Getting 6 runs is doable.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Nice boys!

 

[The Nemesis]

The 7th run sucks. Getting 6 runs is doable.

I dunno, seemed about equally as easy right there.

 

[stickty111]

Good timing for Semien

 

[stickty111]

Thats not a strike

 

[Marshy]

Ump still sucks.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Marcus here's the contract just name the price
