Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v2 | Thu, Apr 21 | @ BOS | 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT | Gausman vs Houck

[Suntouchable13]

What do you think about Lourdes? His brother, Yuli, said Lourdes is a better hitter than him. I don't know about that. He seems very streaky.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Vladdy has better wheels than he gets credit for but that seemed silly when the pitcher was in a jam.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Ya'll laughing now but just wait until Vlad becomes a 40-40 guy.

Credit where it's due, the big son of a bitch can move.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

That's a dumb throw from Tapia

He’s always a terrible starter to seasons but when he gets hot he absolutely rakes.

Was coming to say something. One thing though that wasnt a throw that was a lob.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Kevin Smith hasn't made a good movie in a long time, but holy shit can he hit a baseball.

 

[canucksfan]

This isn't good

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Ryu is sooooo done

 

[djdev]

i know its early and all, but ryu looks washed
just a continuation from the 2nd half of last year so far. its concerning to me. hope im wrong

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Ryu in prime 2021 form. He's just so bad now. He doesn't even need to be the old Ryu, just needs to be average.

 

[djdev]

man, lets pray pearson doesnt have any more setbacks and can grab the 5th starters job..we are going to need him.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Too bad about Ryu. I think he needs to study Mark Buerhle.

I can’t see him finishing the season at this rate.

He’s looked like Tanner Roark to finish last season and start this one.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Ryu hasn't looked God going back to last year

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Doesn't look like your wrong though

 

[djdev]

i think i could get a hit of ryu at this point, those pitches are all meatballs.

 

[djdev]

I can’t see him finishing the season at this rate.

yep, its been really really ugly.

 

[djdev]

Doesn't look like your wrong though

ye, i dont think i am unfortunately

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Man, Ryu just left another meatball over the heart of the plate. Hard to see him lasting past the 3rd inning. Any major league hitter is going to crush 87mph down the pipe.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Shit man. It's only been two starts but the fact Ryu looks exactly like he did towards the back half of last year is not at all assuring

You really don't want to say the guy is washed up but...if a low velocity guy like him doesn't have his command then he has nothing in today's game.

 

[Starry Knight]

Ryu's fastball was never fast, but a 4-seamer down the upper-middle at 88 is incredibly easy for any MLB player to hit hard

 

[djdev]

the annoying part is they used stripling and a bunch of the bullpen yesterday. given ryus struggles, i dont think that was a smart move by montoyo

 

[canucksfan]

And Buck that's why teams shift

 

[Blitzkrug]

Even that ball was hammered. Admittedly into the shift but still.
