Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v4 | Next: Sun, May 29 | @ LAA | 4:00pm ET/1:00pm PT | Berrios vs Sandoval

[GreytWun]

Walks are the worst... don't walk people.

 

[canucksfan]

Huge double play

Kirk is hitting much better

 

[canucksfan]

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice win. With the schedule finally getting lighter, now's a great time to get on a streak and get the offense rolling.

 

[EpochLink]

Time to get hot and go on a win streak.
We gotta make up ground for that craptacular early May start.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

You'd like to see more swinging strikes (only 4/91) and Ks overall, but we'll take whatever good we can get from Berrios at this point. Just hoping it's the start of a good stretch for him

 

[Suntouchable13]

Simply put, they gotta sweep this series. Yankees already swept a few inferior teams.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh no, we suck again!

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ok, that's enough BABIP for you. Lucky we got out of that with just 1 run. Gausman you can start racking up K's now please

 

[Suntouchable13]

Defensively we're very immaculate. A lesser D and that would have been at least another run right there.

 

[canucksfan]

WEird, they are laying off Gausman's splitter.

 

[trellaine201]

We blow a tonne of great opportunities! We were even lucky to score one that inning! Thanks ump.

 

[trellaine201]

Anaemic offense despite are last two games.

There take that jays wasted offenses. We just can’t play small ball.

 

[canucksfan]

What a dumb play

 

[Canada4Gold]

Are there no Cameras in CF or RF?

 

[trellaine201]

Hard to watch this team when they play such dumb baseball.

 

[hoglund]

Are there no Cameras in CF or RF?

there should be and since the umpire was not in position to make the call he should've asked another umpire or called him safe. You can't call someone out if you didn't see it. I guess that works on calling safe too.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh no, we suck again! (this was somehow left over from earlier in the game where I posted it, but it's still relevant now )

Are there no Cameras in CF or RF?

Nope, but the biggest problem is that it looked like there was a very real chance he was safe but the ump was in the worst possible position and chose to make an aggressive call instead of asking for help or erring on the side of caution.

Sometimes I feel like the presence of replay has increased the aggressiveness with which umps make calls. Like they'll be more likely to call guys out on close plays figuring that if they get it wrong there'll be a challenge and replay can overturn them. But when the rule is that you need clear-cut, incontrovertible proof to overturn a call on the field, those close calls end up sticking because of situations like this where the cameras can't get a clear shot of what actually happened.

 

[trellaine201]

Feel bad for our workhorse Gausman. He should be at least 6-2. Instead he is 3-2 up until this start. What a shame.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Feel bad for our workhorse Gausman. He should be at least 6-2. Instead he is 3-2 up until this start. What a shame.

Good thing starters are no longer judged on W/L record.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Bullpens are too good, it's almost impossible to come back.

 

[Maplebeasts]

This team has to have one of the worst BABIP in baseball. Feel like 3/4 of every ball they hit hard is right at a fielder.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Tapia fixing his launch angle doesn't look like it's actually made him a better player. He just has lazy fly ball outs instead of ground ball outs

 

[Suntouchable13]

A sweep is necessary here. I know it’s sort of still early but as Yogi Bera once said, “it gets late early”. The Jays need to get on the proverbial horse and get it done.

 

[The Nemesis]

This team has to have one of the worst BABIP in baseball. Feel like 3/4 of every ball they hit hard is right at a fielder.

.278, tied for 11th worst.

The bottom of the barrel is Arizona at .253. Then Oakland, Houston, Texas, and the White Sox
