Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v8 | Next: Sun, Aug 8 | vs Bos | 1pm ET/10am PT |Richards vs Ryu]

Not very often McGuire loses a ball battle to somebody else.

If Cleveland gets out there and scores 1 run this inning and then 6 runs next inning they'll only be trailing by a single run! Gotta shut that down before it gets out of hand. So Richards now, Cimber next inning, Romano in the 9th.

Charlie playing the 6.5D chess.

None of this could even reach the possibility if Panik was here.

 

[sxvnert]

It kinda does. One of him and Stripling is likely to lose their spot sooner or later. And right now Stripling has the inside track.

Wouldnt be opposed to piggy backing both every fifth day. Stripling starts, Matz takes the back half.

Montoyo has legit cost this team a comfortable lead in the Wild Card race. He's probably solely responsible for like a 6 win swing.

Montoyo using Richards in a 8-0 blowout. Nice.

Ehhh ... Richards has only pitched once in the last 9 days, probably fair to give him some work.

*this is not to defend Montoyo's bullpen handling generally.

I think this is overemphasized, generally speaking. It's not like they can't throw side sessions to keep their arms ready.

 

[sxvnert]

Time to get Saucedo the f*** atta there.

 

[Hoverhand]

Saucedo's ERA doubles on one swing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

4 of the 5 hits were pretty weak. Tough break for Saucedo

 

[trellaine201]

Were not gonna lose this are we?

 

[Puckstuff]

sucks we gotta use Cimber in what was just an 8-0 game

 

[Suntouchable13]

Oh boy, poor Saucedo ERA.

 

[The Nemesis]

jesus, I swear I was just joking when I said we'd have to run Richards/Cimber/Romano out there to close the game out.

Is it really the same though? He looked rusty, uncharacteristically poor control.

Feel for Saucedo who got Babip'ed hard there on a series of routine grounders finding holes and a broken-bat blooper.

 

[djdev]

lol well this has turned into a more eventful game then needed.

 

[sxvnert]

Keep Cimber out there for the 9th.

 

[Cloned]

The most annoying thing is that we’ll likely have to use Romano tonight. Unless we tack on some runs here.

Fair point, I just feel like it’ll come back to bite them at some point in the Boston series when Richards is unavailable for a game.

 

[Cloned]

Pat sounds pretty bitter about that lol.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh no, Springer sucks again!

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Romano up, so annoying

 

[djdev]

this isnt romano, its an imposter...his delivery is soooo different now. also uhoh

 

[MS]

Pat sounds pretty bitter about that lol.

To be fair, I can't really blame him!

Looks like it was in the opening game of the 1984 season, and Mike Hargrove pinch-hit for him in a 9-1 game.

 

[djdev]

man so much unneeded buttclenching here.

 

[sxvnert]

8-6
