Blue Jays GDT: 2024 v1 |Sun, Apr 7| @NYY | 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT | Francis vs Gil

[Cleetus]

Gil has always had control issues. Just step into the box and don't swing at all

Jk, Angel will still call everything a strike.

this is working lol, Angel is not a fan of Gil lol

 

[The Nemesis]

"Angel Sucks!" chants from the fans. They're not wrong, but several pitches they've booed have been obvious balls and Gil isn't helping himself by being unable to get it over the plate.

 

[DuklaNation]

Gil not a pitcher yet, using off speed out of zone when no one is biting on anything.

 

[The Nemesis]

It took the entire inning but Gil finally made a good pitch there at the end to get Biggio.

 

[Tw1ster]

Love Biggio’s eye but it can be frustrating to watching him striking out on those pitches with his bat on his shoulder.

 

[Cleetus]

watching the Yankees broadcast and they said it was not smart to walk off the mound when you think its strike 3, Angel does not want to be shown up lol

 

[DuklaNation]

This has to be one of the worst offensive lineups I've ever seen from the Jays

 

[The Nemesis]

watching the Yankees broadcast and they said it was not smart to walk off the mound when you think its strike 3, Angel does not want to be shown up lol

That's true. But it's also true that Angel thinks you're showing him up if you just make eye contact with him.

 

[DuklaNation]

Hernandez clearly dislikes Torres for some reason.

 

[phillipmike]

Anyone want to guess how many Jays have a wRC+ of 110 or more going into today’s game?

 

[francis246]

Ugh

1?

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Ruh roh

 

[Cleetus]

could see that one coming lol

 

[francis246]

Lol you just knew it

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Rip

 

[DuklaNation]

Francis might just be a reliever, not easy to establish yourself as a 5-7 inning starter.

 

[phillipmike]

1?

7

Turner
Schneider
Clement
Springer
Biggio
Vogelbach
Vladdy

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Francis might just be a reliever, not easy to establish yourself as a 5-7 inning starter.

His problem is that he gives up a lot of HRs.

He gave up a lot of gopher balls in the minors too.

 

[Forgotusername]

Of course.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Had Rizzo 1-2, needed to get him
then Stanton 0-2

Oh well.

Wow! That surprises me. After I said one I did forget about Ernie and Schneider.

 

[The Nemesis]

I'd give Mitch White some starter run if Francis' next start has issues. White at least showed in Buffalo that he can keep his increased velo while working as a starter.

 

[DFF]

Francis is not a starter

 

[Tw1ster]

Francis might just be a reliever, not easy to establish yourself as a 5-7 inning starter.

Kinda makes ya yearn for Jordan Hicks who is transitioning to his starter role quite nicely
