Blue Jays GDT: 2024 v5 | Wed, Aug 7 | vs Bal | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Kremer vs Gausman

[MK78]

Vladdy is tossin' the bats like EE

 

[canucksfan]

Bo is so lost at the plate

 

[canucksfan]

Schneider is an idiot for pinch hitting Horwitz

Yeah i dont think anyone would even trade for him as an offensive upgrade, his defense is average too.

 

[shaner8989]

Richards on the tank train too. Love it.

So close to a top 5 pick. I know it’s not the same as hockey but I’ll take it

 

[MK78]

Blowpen tried very hard, but the Jays hang on 5-4.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Two straight 6 inning efforts from Yuriel.. I'll take that positive.

Always need to swap out the best hottest hitter because your gut

My only issue with it is that it was too early. Horwitz has never hit lefties, and Saucedo is ridiculously dominant against lefties, so it was definitely good as a one-off move. But it was the 6th, so it wasn't a one-off move because Horwitz was guaranteed to come up at least one more time.

At some point though, don't you want these young players to get more experience so their weaknesses have a chance to improve?

All this shielding and micro-managing in what's pretty much a lost year is just puzzling.

I guess it depends if you think it's something he's likely to improve or not. Considering his numbers at AA/AAA the last three years, I think there a good chance Horwitz just can't hit lefties, and I doubt that's likely to change.

Normally, I'd be excited for the Seattle series each year but not this year.
Team is in disarray and all those Jays fans are treated to a poor product.

As one of the 5 of us who actually lives in Seattle… (GTA born/raised)

Tbh, I’ll take this year’s Seattle trip over last year’s. The Taylor Swift concert being right across the street the same weekend as the Jays was genuinely a nightmare to navigate. Pioneer Square/ID/SoDo went from “organized shitshow” to “complete chaos and anarchy”.

Also, this year’s tickets were surprisingly affordable! Last year, it was cheaper for me to fly to Denver over Labor Day weekend, see all 3 Jays games at Coors, and fly back than seeing the Jays at the ballpark I live a 30 min walk away from. And that’s knowing I’d have to subject myself to a backsliding Jays team vs a wretched Rockies team that is a bottom 3 product in baseball.

 

[Swervin81]

Sigh…

 

[mikeyz]

Springer celebrating like Carter in the Fall of 93 on that HR.

Relax George/Jerry. Lol.

 

[Patmac40]

George Summerer with some pop again. He’s been getting to every pitch he was missing early in the season.

Unfortunately it's too little too late.

 

[The Nemesis]

George Springer quietly roaring back to burn down your village?

1.221 OPS in the last 2 weeks.

That’s fine, I’ve already given up. It’s just nice to see him no longer tumbling off the cliff like he was for three months.

 

[Patmac40]

Intentionally walking the 8 hitter is wild. Having Julio pinch hit immediately really highlights the decision.

 

[MK78]

Varsho drives in Vladdy in the 10th.

 

[jetsforever]

Varsho!

 

[The Nemesis]

ok everyone. Unclench.

 

[MK78]

Jeez that was a nail biter. Jays load the bases in bottom 10th but survive to win the game and the series.

Unfortunately probably too late to matter this year...

I’m hoping he stays hot until the deadline and some team is fooled into wanting him. Have a feeling he go ice coke after the all star break.
