Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v13 | **WILDCARD SERIES GAME 2** Wed, Oct 4 | @ Min | 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT | Berrios vs Gray

[Seath The Scaleless]

Berrios has great movement and location on his pitches.

Never seen that move by an ump, but he made the correct call.

 

[frizzer1]

Biggio should not be batting 5th.
But then again no one else on this team should be batting 5th either.

 

[mikeyz]

Babe Ruth led the league in strikeouts 5 times.

He takes a ton of walks and hits for a ton of power, and is 36% better than a league average hitter.

.......... Did you seriously just compare Belt to Ruth?

 

[robertocarlos]

Lou Gehrig rarely struck out.

 

[MS]

.......... Did you seriously just compare Belt to Ruth?

Did you seriously not get the point?

'Lots of strikeouts' is meaningless if the player takes lots of walks and hits for lots of power.

He hit .254 this year. How is it any different if he hit a lot of soft-contact groundouts instead of those strikeouts?

 

[Revolt]

Get on the board here.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Berrios tossing 140 pitches for the CG tonight. I can feel it

Highly unlikely considering they have starters in the bullpen tonight and Kikuchi is warming up

 

[LaP]

Doesn't look like Gray got it today. He was lucky against Biggio the two okaish curve right in the middle of the plate would have been in orbit against any high quality batters. They need to make him pay soon though don't let him find his groove again.

 

[trellaine201]

Wonder if we will get a runner to second.

 

[robertocarlos]

Target Field is great but they need to shorten centre field by about two feet.

Part of me wants to let Berrios run with this game. Old team and he looks good. But I also trust Kikuchi.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Nice bunt to move the runners.

 

[trellaine201]

Dumb. 2 outs mnd u varsho is a shitty hitter

 

[shaner8989]

Varsho lmao. Loser

A good first inning lets hope he keeps it up. But its good that he's warming up in case things go wrong.

Damn

 

[GreytWun]

3 RISP now

That AVG RISP keeps dropping…

 

[trellaine201]

Good job boys.

 

[Cleetus]

13 LOB so far in the series

 

[TMLeafer]

Just can't get that timely hit

 

[saska sault]

13 runners left on base in 11 innings...

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Good idea by Varsho. Just missed getting the right spot for an infield single

 

[shaner8989]

Trash upon trash upon trash

 

[LaP]

I think it was an okay play. Springer is paid 20 millions a year for those situations. With one of the slowest runner in MLB at 2nd and one that is not fast at 1st the chance for a double play was there. Give a chance to your highest paid hitter to hit. Always the possibility he's safe at 1st if he hits that a little bit closer to the 3rd base line.

 

[MS]

Yeah, there was a huge opening there and he normally gets that down closer to the line.

 

[Zirakzigil]

A good first inning lets hope he keeps it up. But its good that he's warming up in case things go wrong.

Id let Berrios go at least 4 innings. Then bring on Kikuchi for 2-3 more innings. But what do I know.
