[dabobcan]

Fortunately for the Jays he does!

So it’s a timing issue? Sounded like solid contact on all 3 he missed.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Gausman looks good and bonus points for that hockey hair

 

[Canada4Gold]

5 bucks on Tapia hitting a ground ball

 

[Blitzkrug]

There's that -5 degree launch angle.

 

[Killer Orcas]

5 bucks on Tapia hitting a ground ball

Want to see him on base just for the steals.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Tapia is averaging an insane -19 launch angle this year so afar

 

[Forgotusername]

Ump's strike zone seems to be expanding.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Another good piece of hitting by the top of the lineup.

 

[Discoverer]

So it’s a timing issue? Sounded like solid contact on all 3 he missed.

It's three at bats and he just missed all three. You can't judge anyone's power based on that.

 

[Morgs]

Ump's strike zone seems to be expanding.

Except for Gausman. That's at least two this inning

 

[MS]

Ump's strike zone seems to be expanding.

Not for Gausman.

 

[trellaine201]

new starters please

 

[Dr.Funk]

Ump's strike zone seems to be expanding.

Not for Gausman.

Rangers aren't being fooled either.

 

[kb]

oh look, pat myself on the back guy is here again. dude, u need to give it a rest.

I used to have friends this insecure said no one ever.

 

[Blitzkrug]

It looks like they figured out Gausman a bit the first time through the order.

Though tbf he just kinda misfired on the Miller hit.

 

[The Nemesis]

oh no, a 1-run Texas lead. Whatever will we do to climb this insurmountable hill?

 

[Blitzkrug]

He's missing his spots with the fastball.

 

[Morgs]

Texas isn't swinging at his splitter, ump isn't calling strikes, and they're squaring up his fastball. Not an ideal combination.

 

[Woodman19]

If he's not getting the low strike call the splitter isn't so effective since they will just lay off it.

 

[djdev]

jeez gausman is just setting these pitches up on a tee

 

[Discoverer]

Kirk popping up a lot to start the season.

I wouldn't consider once "a lot."

 

[MS]

This is not a great look for Gausman.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Can't locate his fastball, isn't getting the calls on the low splitter and now he's trying to mix it up to keep them off balance.

Might have to only let him go 4 even with the pen being worked last night.

 

[Morgs]

If he's not getting the low strike call the splitter isn't so effective since they will just lay off it.

Ump missed minimum 3 clear low fastball strikes that inning. Not calling those pitches completely change the complexity of the at bat.

 

[The Nemesis]

He can't get the low strikes. So it's dragging him upwards and making him more hittable.
