Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v1 | Wed, Apr 13 | @ NYY | 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT | Berrios vs Cole

[PanniniClaus]

We are counting on Richards in high leverage spots and he looks like he's not trusting his stuff at all... that or his stuff is just not where he needs it to be.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

I don't have much confidence in Richards

This

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL camera person trolled us. And Tapia trolled Yankees fans by keeping the ball

 

[MS]

Camera man got a bit excited there.

 

[canucksfan]

Seems like a pretty good take.

He's alright in low leverage situations but he's prone to the long ball which isn't good for a BP arm.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Cooler air must be keeping that ball in the park.

I like him as a 6th inning type guy but he shouldn’t be getting high-leverage 8th innings.

Thought it was odd that he was out there at that time when i turned the game on

Merryweather should be available I would have put him in.

I mean if you don’t feel comfortable using Richards with a 3 run lead in the 8th then you may as well not use him at all. I wouldn’t even say that’s high leverage. More medium leverage due to the score.

That can’t be real, LOL.

 

[Canada4Gold]

We weren't the only ones fooled. Holy shit this Yankee call of the fly out is bad

And I didn't think it got worse than Buck

The opponent matters as well. The Yanks have an excellent lineup. I would be fine using Richards in a similar situation against a worse team.

At home against Baltimore sure, but on the road in a save situation in Yankee Stadium it’s a bit of a different beast.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Oh god if that fell in for a hit

 

[McSnypsky]

Guy sounded mad that Tapia caught it!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

.. WTF ? That was an ugly bunt

 

[Cloned]

Merryweather hasn’t exactly been the model of consistency lately either though. Until they get Phelps up and running at full speed, Richards is gonna see some of these innings. Especially since they can’t use Cimber and Mayza every day.

 

[Nineteen67]

Smart play. They deserve to win this game.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Giving what is essentially a free base when any hit is the same as a HR is kind of annoying

 

[GoonieFace]

It shouldn’t matter the team, 3 run lead in the 8th, he’s one of the better relievers on the team. If you can’t put him in here, than you are basically saying he’s useless.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Romano's command is off .. That's not good
