Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v6 | Next: Fri, Jul 8 | @ Sea | 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT | Stripling vs Kirby (APPLE TV ONLY)

[The Nemesis]

Moreno sucks, demote him

 

[Langdon Alger]

Too bad. They made it interesting though.

 

[trellaine201]

I went out BUT saw Castillo line. Maybe skip Kikuchi and try Castillo?

 

[habamillions]

Max castillo and thornton did phenomenal work. Now castillo will get sent down for his efforts.

 

[CherryToke]

Bo is not a SS and shouldn't be signed long term as a SS. Move him to 2nd or trade him.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Through 5 starts this month, Kikuchi has given us a grand total of 15.1 innings. Our poor bullpen.

May Kikuchi seems like a distant memory

[canucksfan]

Charlie is almost always supportive of his players. I think they are pissed at Kukuchi because he isn't listening to them.

 

[Blitzkrug]

If they could get to Burnes, they should be able to smack Chi-Chi around.

Not the most ideal lineup for Berrios to bounce back against though. He's been giving up a shitload a hard contact and the Brewers are near the top in the league for home runs and are slugging over .400

 

[BertCorbeau]

Kirk destroyed that

 

[Blitzkrug]

There goes my hero, watch him as he goes.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I wish Kirk could get his game going

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Kirk is really fun to watch. What a player

 

[MS]

Kirk is basically a fat slow Jose Altuve.

 

[Blitzkrug]

And to think some people were saying him being too pudgy would prevent him from becoming a star.

 

[MS]

Charlie is almost always supportive of his players. I think they are pissed at Kukuchi because he isn't listening to them.

Yeah, the reaction from both the team and the media to this stretch is totally unlike anything we’ve seen when any other player struggles.

 

[kb]

Kirk has reached base in 7 of his 9 plate appearances so far this series....

 

[Blitzkrug]

He doesn't want to listen? DFA his ass then and let someone else try and earn that spot.

 

[MS]

We give Tabby a lot of shit but the way he quickly picked up on what was happening with Berrios’ mechanics there was excellent.

 

[Blitzkrug]

We give Tabby a lot of shit but the way he quickly picked up on what was happening with Berrios’ mechanics there was excellent.

As much as we riff on Tabler, he's not actually that terrible of an analyst.

When he's not telling you about how this guy is a baseball player/telling stories from nineteen dickety two and focusing on the game aspect..he's actually pretty insightful.

Makes sense given he probably knows quite a bit about pitcher mentality given he was a catcher. (Edit: he is not, I got him mixed up with Borders.)

I kinda just find his old man takes kind of endearing at this point.

 

[trellaine201]

Man were gonna need a SP or two moving forward. Not reliable.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Of f***ing course it's Rowdy that goes yard too.

Definitely not the most assuring start given Berrios has been a bit wild to start.

 

[trellaine201]

Gonna be a long game. Meatball after meatball. Thanks Berrios.

 

[Blitzkrug]

f*** me.

Exactly what I feared. The Brewers lineup isn't exactly a world beater but when they hit the ball, they hit it hard. They're towards the bottom in most categories sans SLG% and HRs

Pretty much the worst possible set of variables for a gut who has concerns about hard contact and getting guys to whiff.

Hopefully he can settle down.

 

[howlman]

What's going on with Berrios?
