Blue Jays GDT: Opening Day!

[PanniniClaus]

Real grind of a day from Bassitt.. now don't waste it!!

 

[MK78]

Wow they actually let Bassitt go past 100 pitches. *mind blown*

He gutted it out got 6IP.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I very much enjoy a cleanup bunt

 

[MK78]

Let's see what the blowpen does, lol.

 

[PanniniClaus]

We will take that from our backup catcher..

Yep. So another homer from a a guy that isn't supposed to hit em.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Straw has cut a f***ing cord of wood today.. all to second base.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Holy shit lmao. From the least likely source.

He now has more home runs than...everybody not named Gimenez.

 

[Vector]

Even in this very thin era for catchers, Tyler Heinemann seems like an abnormally bad #2 catching option.

Baseball is a very silly sport.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Yuriel... I guess he won't be starting for Max. Which is fine by me by the way... If he can get through a big inning here... be amazing.

No they said it will be some minor league guy i forget his name. will be his MLB debut. That's our depth of starting pitching lol. a 40 year old goes down with a predictable injury and the next guy will be a fresh rookie. Way to go Shatkins.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yariel's stuff is kinda nasty as a late inning guy.

 

[canucksfan]

Yariel looked very good there

Most teams go out of their way to have two or three guys that can step in and start a game, from AAA. I just find it incredible we can't do that.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That is the role for him.. Please leave him in it.

 

[LaP]

Do you mean that he is better than Lovelady and Barnes?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Springer has looked great in these first four games.

Stats don't show it but he's getting the bat on the ball which is already a massive improvement compared to last year.

 

[Bjindaho]

Do you mean that he is better than Lovelady and Barnes?

His stuff plays up as a short inning reliever

 

[Killer Orca]

We got rocked in a couple of games, but to be 2-2 to start the season is a win against the O's. Hopefully, we build on it Hoffman and Yariel Rodriguez could be a nasty 8th and 9th inning duo.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Good win. I'll happily take a split against the Os.

 

[Cloned]

I think most of us would’ve happily taken a split in this series.

 

[MK78]

I think most of us would’ve happily taken a split in this series.

Yeah, especially that we had no home runs from Bo, Vlad, Santander or Springer, you know the guys that are expected to hit some.

it’s one thing to not have a farm system it’s even more wild that we don’t even have a couple of cheap veterans that can step in. Like wtf has Atkins done over the past decade??? We have literally zero depth. One guy goes down and we gotta bring up a raw rookie. It’s crazy

2-2 at this point you take it and run. You couldn’t dream up a worse performance from the BP over a series and we still got a split. Pretty wild

The Jays have Rodriguez and Lucas. Lucas has 21 appearances and is the likely starter with Bloss and Kloffenstein as prospects who could be longer term replacements.
