Blue Jays GDT: 2022 v8 | Next: Fri, Aug 12 | vs Cle | 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT | Quantrill vs Berrios

[TMLeafer]

44 pitches for Bieber through 4. Really making him work..

 

[Blitzkrug]

This game is painful. A game that drags on for hours yet without the action that generally causes games to drag out.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

They had two days off this week, so why does Bo need a rest after 2 games?

He's played 111/112 games this year.

Guys, especially the ones who insist on playing basically wire to wire need rest. Especially after the rough go he's had this week.

How come they said it was his 3rd game sitting this year then....

And in 5 days he's played 2 games, don't see the need to sit him after 2 days off and playing 2 games

 

[EpochLink]

Kirk on some jock itch today, his catching is ASS

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

So is Merrifield more durable than Bo? Merrifield played over 500 consecutive games, Bo can't play a full season?

 

[canucksfan]

The Guardians are playing much better baseball than the Jays. They are doing the little things so well while the Jays are shitting the bed.

 

[stats1]

This game f***ing blows. Gotta come back tomorrow with our heads out our asses. Terrible concentration and effort today.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

100 pitches almost in the 5th great

 

[stats1]

Gotta get Biggio out of the outfield

 

[shaner8989]

This team is pathetic. Stop trying to justify anything. Pitching sucks defense sucks.

Playoffs?? Lol nope

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Feels like Charlie is back in the dugout today....

 

[stats1]

I could understand the score if Cleveland were destroying the ball but team looks like it’s just a regular Sunday afternoon. Cleveland hustling out everything, making strong defensive plays and look at the Jays are doing. If this team wants to make the playoffs and go on a run they gotta start playing better and having better at bats

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not even justifying the comments saying Gausman sucks.

A lot of you need to stop acting like you understand baseball.

 

[Suntouchable13]

2 pitchers who signed 100+ mil contracts in the winter crapping the bed. I give Gausman more slack, but he too has to be better pitching at home against a good team

Remember when men played the game and this one guy play 2632 straight games at short and third? Can't remember his name though.

That's been the Cleveland MO for years now.

Not gonna compete with other teams chequebooks so you gotta develop elite pitching and hitters who do the little stuff well.

Yeah the guy who volunteered to sit.... Never will be seen again.

Gausman has an ERA under 3 before today. He’s been exactly what the Jays signed him for. His ERA in SF that got him this big contract was 2.81. Before this outing it was 2.91

 

[Puckstuff]

The defensive alignment could have been

LF Gurriel
1B Vlad
C Kirk
DH Teo
3B Chapman
RF Tapia
CF Merrifield
SS Espinal
2B Biggio

While still respecting Teo's DH half rest day and not playing Biggio in RF. Also Tapia in CF today sucks too.

Deserves more attention. Strange lineup today.

It's almost like they have MLB level coaching and the Jays have minor league level coaching

My point being is the effort. Lack of it on our end and complete effort on Cleveland’s end. They run out every grounder, don’t make stupid mistakes etc. has nothing to do with how much more we’re spending on our team

Vladdy you're due for a HR...

Swings at two balls in the dirt lul
