Vladdy hits a triple, and now needs a single for the cycle.

Really liking Jimenez

Gotta start paying Vlad Sr to be around the team full time

 

[MK78]

Sadly the Jays don't get anyone on base in the 7th & 8th, to guarantee Vladdy a crack at the cycle.

Unless they blow the 5 run lead in the 9th lol...

Hope Pop blows this so Vladdy gets a chance

He's trying, bases loaded no out!

The razor sharp duality of Buck’s line a minute ago: “everytime you throw a ball you encourage the Orioles a little bit more”

 

[MK78]

LOL, its 7-6.

 

[MK78]

They squeak it out, but my god... what horrible bullpen.

 

[Discoverer]

I was half hoping they would blow it to bring Vladdy up again. And then, instead of hitting a single to finish the cycle, he hits a walk-off homer.

 

[Lobster57]

i get annoyed the way Buck can drive a point in to the ground even if he's right, but i definitely agree with him question why you'd pitch to Vladdy right now, glad the Orioles did though

He is sooo bad. Why is he even on this team? Without Vladdy on an absolute heater, the Jays would have lost a well pitched game by Gausman.

I know they don't have a lot of bullpen options,
but Pop wouldn't have been in if it was a closer game.

Great to see Gaus pitch well and more action from the bats. The Pen is Pen.. it's squeaky bum/white knuckle every time.

Yeah, the pen is basically Chad Green and then just hope someone else can get some outs. It's weird that some people seem surprised by how bad it is when it was already struggling before they traded away everyone who was half decent.

2 strikeouts, though. Isn't that a bit concerning that he is not striking out as many guys? Or it's fine?

It is but given the hard contact he had been giving up.. even if he just turns those sinkers/splint finger, into ground balls,///better than the alternative.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Varsho into the 2 hole again tonight. I don't mind it. Clement's contact skills would make him a decent fit too.

Loperfido is down the lineup as he should be.
