I love the outfield defence this year.

Lol but they ain’t catching that one….

 

[EpochLink]

That ball was crushed, yikes.

 

[Puckstuff]

I don't care if takes Kuch 120 pitches I will take 5 scoreless against the Rays from him everytime if he can get us there.

I'd be just as happy with 2 earned runs, 5 innings from Kikuchi. It's a 3.60 era. Gives us a chance.

 

[Morgs]

How's Kikuchi been? Just caught the Mejia strikeout.

As a fifth starter that’s solid

 

[The Nemesis]

That "proud owner of the Toronto Blue Jays" ad on the backstop is like the cringey equivalent of a "my kid is an honor roll student at <school>" bumper sticker.

 

[The Nemesis]

How's Kikuchi been? Just caught the Mejia strikeout.

He's been forced to throw a lot of pitches, but he's been mostly solid. just the one HR against, he's been throwing strikes, has 7 Ks to just a single walk. This is definitely a "good Kikuchi" start so far even if he's running his pitch count up a little (74 pitches through 4 innings)

 

[trellaine201]

Yikes doesn’t it hurt when you get hit.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Yeeeeouch.... thou Kirk barely felt that with all that human padding.

 

[Morgs]

That "proud owner of the Toronto Blue Jays" ad on the backstop is like the cringey equivalent of a "my kid is an honor roll student at <school>" bumper sticker.

But they're obviously proud of the Jays. It's not like they own 50% of Canada

 

[EpochLink]

Kirk's running is something else

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Starting to get some bat off this minor leaguer

 

[Morgs]

Big hit whit

 

[Forgotusername]

How does a guy like Merrifield just almost forget how to hit?

I think he remembers now.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Jano starting to find it a bit.

 

[Morgs]

Jano starting to find it a bit.

Too good not to. What an insane pitch to hit wow

Lmao I just looked at Savant. Walls HR had a xBA of .090. Hate that we have a Yankees-style loser ass part of the ballpark.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Jano starting to find it a bit.

Don't tell Shaner

 

[EpochLink]

If you wanna go and take a ride wit me, smoking L's in the back of the Benzie...HEY MUST BE THE MONAY!

 

[red devil]

Need those 2 hits with 2 outs with runners in scoring position especially from the bottom of the order

 

[EpochLink]

Whit Merrifield, good guy

Kikuchi with his 8 K

 

[Morgs]

Need those 2 hits with 2 outs with runners in scoring position especially from the bottom of the order

It's true, I heard we were last in the league in that specific scenario. I thought Rogers had to sell the team to fix it though

 

[Morgs]

Am I insane or did they skip Bichette's AB?

 

[canucksfan]

I'd put out Kikuchi in the 6th.

 

[cyris]

Am I insane or did they skip Bichette's AB?

You are insane. He grounded out

 

[Morgs]

You are insane. He grounded out

I meant on TV. They were showing Brujans dive 3 times, and then Vlad was all of a sudden at bat
