Blue Jays GDT: 2023 v8 | Tue, Aug 8 | @ CLE | 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT | Kikuchi vs Bibee

Too bad DeJong couldn’t get his first hit there.

 

[MK78]

I still maintain the O’s didn’t do enough at the deadline. They can’t have him in high leverage situations.

They were probably just playing the stats... Jays stink hitting when it counts...

Backfired on them.

Yeah off the bat I thought that was going to be a double/3 RBI and game over.

Maybe they were banking on his stuff coming through because he's pretty nasty when on his game

But yeah, if you have zero control, you cannot be trusted

 

[The Nemesis]

Why does the broadcast still use k/9 (or bb/9 or any /9 stat)? It's a noisy number and percentage ones make more sense.

 

[The Nemesis]

Breaking my balls here, ump...

 

[MS]

Even when you strike Mountcastle out the umps put him on first.

 

[canucksfan]

Solid inning by Hicks. Wore off the rust yesterday

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Mountcastle's walk rate was like 5% coming into tonight. So of course he walked twice (thanks, ump)

He's basically Barry Bonds vs the Jays

 

[Suntouchable13]

Wow, what a turnaround by Yusei from last year! Great outing tonight, shut them down good. Gausman tomorrow, great chance for a split. Even Steven.

 

[Nineteen67]

What a ball player that Henderson kid is.

 

[dredeye]

Just checked the box score. How funny that we bring in three runs in an inning with the bases loaded and we still didn’t get a hit with men on.

 

[PanniniClaus]

We can beat the Orioles... yes we can

 

[canucksfan]

Cool way to finish the game

 

[MK78]

Swanson picks off the guy at first base game over.

But jeez, had it not been for that 3 run freebie without a hit, it'd still be tied 1-1...

We can beat the Orioles... yes we can

Not really, they beat themselves in this one.

 

[Nineteen67]

Split ain’t too far fetched

 

[MK78]

Split ain’t too far fetched

Not what this team needed, but if it happens, so be it.

 

[canucksfan]

Not what this team needed, but if it happens, so be it.

Split isn't ideal but if they do win tomorrow and take 2 out of 3 from the Red Sox, it's fairly decent. The Red Sox have the best chance of catching the Jays.

They scored their only run because Kikuchi/Belt didn’t run to 1st.

So let’s just say the Jays won 1-0.

Flop needs to stop with the water cooler nonsense.

Nah, gotta start from "Jays should have lost" and work backwards from there.

 

[MK78]

Kikuchi was real solid, 4 games in a row now without giving up a home run.

Would anyone have predicted a 9-3 record with 3.67 ERA after the deadline?

I knew it all along. Don't bother checking my post history, just trust me.

He was an all star a couple of years ago, so he has it in him when he can put it all together.

 

[canucksfan]

Every team in the AL East and West other than Oakland would be leading the Central Division.

MLB needs to fix the divisions for next year.
