Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v1 | Fri, Apr 7 | @ LAA | 9:30pm ET/6:30pm PT | Bassitt vs Sandoval

[Puckstuff]

The only reason Pearson was even down in the minors the last couple seasons was to stretch him out as a starter. With that dream dead I don’t think there’s much more for him to prove down there. Main reason he isn’t on the team now is because he has options and they want to see if Richards is worth keeping.

The sample size from Pearson over the last year has been very small. Even just seeing him throw 10-15 innings in AAA with good peripherals would go a long way before DFA’ing Richards. But hey, if Richards implodes over the weekend again and they have to move quicker on moving up Pearson, so be it. I won’t be complaining.

He'll likely get some action in this upcoming series since all 3 starters projected to face the Jays are lefties.

 

[red devil]

Luplow in as the DH

 

[canucksfan]

Hopefully, Bassitt pitches a solid game.

Let's see if letting Bassitt direct traffic helps him get on track.

Anyone else just see the Hazel Mae interview with Vladdy? He said he wants to stay in Toronto his entire career

 

[Blitzkrug]

If he has another big year like he did in 2021 I'm getting whatever it takes to get done to get him locked up long term.

It's good to hear, but I also have to think "what else is he going to say?"

Hazel: "Vladdy, do you still want to stay here long term?"

Vladdy: "Pffft, f*** no. I'm gone as soon as I hit free agency so I can get that sweet, sweet Yankee money."

Jokes on him the Yankees only spend money on old washed up infielders like Donaldson these days.

I wish they did this stuff before the start time.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lol at the intreperter's reaction when he got a loud cheer

 

[The Nemesis]

Ryan Tepera?

 

[Blitzkrug]

4 of the 5 Angels starters are lefties? That's so weird.

Only other time I recall seeing that was the CWS days with Sale, Quintana, Danks, and Santiago. Then I think rookie Rodon replaced Santiago and they went with 4 lefties again for another year

Was it a direct question or did he just offer that information up?

 

[Morgs]

That was pretty cool having Vlad do the first pitch.

It was a question.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Jesus almost full righty lineup lol.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why does his era+ showing as 0? It was same for Gausman yesterday

Gausman hasn’t given up an earned run.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Boooo. Thought it was gone.

 

[MS]

Man, I thought that was out when Springer hit it.
