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

[TMLeafer]

Just call strike three before the AB, why don't you.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

This umpire should be embarrassed

 

[MS]

And another blown call.

This game has probably turned me toward robot umps.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

We have some great hitters but man could we use some on-base balance. We're 23rd in the league in walks drawn. Not saying I want a team full of Moneyball walk-chasers, but a few more guys who are willing to take a walk like Vlad and control the strikezone would be nice.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Montoya needs to be a leader and get tossed. Get his money's worth.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Buck: Richards doesn't allow many home runs

Richards with a 1.48 HR/9

Also, this ump sucks.

 

[Northernguy10]

I've sat their and argued with my 65 year old stepdad and his friends over this. They like the "traditional" aspect of it. There are plenty of things that are "traditional" that are awful.

I agree...Tell that stepdad of yours to "get with the times"...

 

[jetsforever]

What's with the guy in the Leafs "Moorecroft" jersey behind home plate that's spending the whole game holding the nameplate up so it can be on camera?

Nobody cares that you put your own name on a jersey, dude.

And yet you're now talking about him on a random hockey forum - seems like it worked

 

[The Nemesis]

Jesus christ that's 5 inches inside(insert joke here)

But tradition!

Ted Williams had to deal with calls 3 feet off the plate being labeled strikes (probably not really since he was a) a Boston player and b) Ted Williams, but that doesn't matter), so why shouldn't today's scrubs!?

 

[sxvnert]

Time to cut that hair snead. The 80s are long gone.

 

[The Nemesis]

But it accomplishes nothing. I'm nobody. My mentioning it does absolutely nothing for him. And that's kind of my question: why sit there the whole game and do that for something as meaningless and valueless as low-tier internet recognition? It's not even "clout" because there's no benefit to be mined from it.

 

[The Nemesis]

Time to cut that hair snead. The 80s are long gone.

He can't. Not if the Jays are going to be the first MLB team with a shampoo endorsement deal.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Bring up Hatch and put him in the pen. We need somebody that can cover 2 or 3 innings in situations like this.

Bring up Hatch and put him in the pen. We need somebody that can cover 2 or three innings in situations like this.

Would settle for 2-3 batters at this point

 

[Puckstuff]

Bring up Hatch and put him in the pen. We need somebody that can cover 2 or three innings in situations like this.

Should have been done a long time ago in hindsight

 

[habamillions]

14-7 since the break and haven't gained ground. Insane.

Not going to be easy going forward thats for sure.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Should have been done a long time ago in hindsight

Definitely after they picked up Berrios. We have 6 good starters and have a need for Hatch in the pen.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Not going to be easy going forward thats for sure.

Going to have to make hay against teams like the Orioles and twins

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Alright our turn to hit a bunch of singles

 

[canucksfan]

Why not bring Kirk in now?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL so the ump calls that pitch a ball now

Incredible.

 

[sxvnert]

Saramura fears the vladdy

 

[sxvnert]

The vladdy fear got the best of him.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The vladdy fear got the best of him.

And he almost hurt his catcher.

 

[sxvnert]

Ottovino will leave with an "injury"
