Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v13 | PLAYOFFS: Wild Card Rd | Gm #2: Sat, Oct 8 | vs SEA | 4:00pm ET/1:00pm PT | Ray vs Gausman

[EpochLink]

Wake up bullpen.

 

[fahad203]

Let's get 4 more runs. Just to rebuild some confidence

 

[mikeyz]

Mayza and Kikuchi being the only 2 lefties in the BP is a massive L on Shatkins part.

 

[The Nemesis]

Was Gausman pitch count to high. Wanted to see him close out the inning. Not good from mayza with a 8-1 lead.

Absolute stupidity taking Gausman out at that point!! Boneheaded unjustifiable managing.

They wanted to turn Santana around because he has far less power hitting right-handed. Decent idea but it didn't pay off.

 

[MAB1]

Take out Gausman after 95 pitches in a 8-1 game when he already got the last two outs after loading the bases. If you left him in for Frazier, you can leave him in for Santana....Some teams are doomed by managers overthinking everything. I'm all for analytics even though I've played the game at a decently high level but this is too much, understand momentum and feel for the game one time....no chart or stat is going to show you that. These goofs would probably never let prime Halladay ever complete a game.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Feel bad for Gausman he pitched a great game, should of been able to finish off the inning.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Mayza threw a decent pitch not like he threw it over the middle of the plate. It might have even been a ball if he didn't swing. It was just a great hit.

That said, why on Earth are you taking Gausman out after he grinds those two outs back and had pitched so well all game. Give the guy the opportunity to save himself. Hate that decision the most out of that sequence.

 

[ShooterMikgaven]

Keep guas in there. Clown move

 

[Dr.Funk]

Was Gausman pitch count to high. Wanted to see him close out the inning. Not good from mayza with a 8-1 lead.

98 pitches at 5.2 is slightly on the high side but he was taken out because Santana missed a homer by an inch off him last time up.

 

[EpochLink]

No more Mayza today.

 

[dredeye]

I hate how scared managers are to let a pitcher go over 100 pitches.

 

[jetsforever]

If we lose this game it will be a catastrophic collapse
Probably won't happen though

 

[Woodman19]

If you separate yourself from the disappointment of it, Gausman was nearing 100 and was already in a self created jam. No guarantee he gets out of it. But Mayza had one job and he couldn't do it.

 

[fahad203]

Springer man. Need to show up a bit

 

[canucksfan]

Springer man. Need to show up a bit

He's injured.

 

[the valiant effort]

Mayza is completely useless with runners on. Awful choice.

 

[Cleetus]

butt cheeks clenched mode activated

Eye roll

This.

You can make the right move and it backfires. A move being correct or not and it having a positive outcome or not are entirely separate things and can coexist.

Mayza also had a strong year, but people only remember the failures and therefore he's a gas can.

 

[EpochLink]

What a horrible inning that was.

 

[fahad203]

Need a similar inning. We need a 3 up 3 down

Can't give them momentum

 

[stickty111]

I get taking out Guasman there but he had already done a nice job there trying to get out of that jam, you keep him there. One of your better pitchers deserves that chance. Anyways 3 run lead still. Time to close

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Too lazy to look up Santana's career stats, but I feel like he has been a Jays killer

 

[The Nemesis]

Too lazy to look up Santana's career stats, but I feel like he has been a Jays killer

Career .928 OPS. His best result vs an AL team besides Kansas City (he had a couple of high totals vs NL clubs but those were small samples)

 

[Cleetus]

k Garcia lets get er done!
