Blue Jays GDT: Opening Day!

[LaP]

And another putrid at bat from Kirk

Offense is exactly what we knew it would be. Garbage

Tbf to players the coach must wake up at one point. Kirk should not bat 5th or 6th. He should bat 8th. Not sure why they have Vlad batting 2nd. I'd go.

Wagner
Bichette
Vlad
Santander
Gimenez
Springer
Varsho (Roden while waiting)
Kirk
Roden/Clement/Straw/Schneider

Everyone who gets added to this lineup suck offensively outside of Gimenez but it probably wont last. At one point you got to look at coaching imo. Also the coach tries to please to many guys. At one point a bench player is a bench player for a reason. I don't think we had the same lineup twice and we are at game 8th.

Not loving Fluharty

Ahh well 5 and 3 still good. Absolutely disgraceful performance from everyone today. Bullpen decisions continue to be moronic. Batting lineups moronic.

 

[LaP]

And that game is over

 

[ER89]

Why the f*** does our fat f***ing manager always pull our starters and make all the wrong bullpen decisions. Jesus f***.

 

[LaP]

If Barnes gives 1 point that will be a resounding success.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Gausman had potato stuff today and was fortunate to allow only 2 before the 6

Hopefully the bats wake up here
Edit: Poor Ernie

 

[MK78]

Offense completely flat today.

 

[aingefan]

I get the platoon advantage concept, but iirc, neither of Schneider or Clement (maybe Springer too) actually had a platoon advantage last year.

 

[Stringer Bell]

You can't consistently win when you have no homerun hitters.

 

[aingefan]

Nows the time for the big bats, so they get around again.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Well that was certainly one of the regular season games.

They better pound Canning tomorrow. He throws sliders more than half the time and hangs out in the zone

 

[MK78]

No dingers, laid an egg.

They ran out of luck from the middle of the order, top of the order does nothing.

 

[Suntouchable13]

To me, it doesn't make sense when you don't trust a guy you paid 110M dollars. You have to let him face Soto a 3rd time. When your other option is a rookie, come on. I know the numbers are bad against Soto, but again you paid this guy 110 million dollars. I don't get it. It's asinine to me.

I'd still let him face Soto again instead of freaking Fluharty facing Soto. But whatever, they tried and it did not work. What are you gonna do? Losses happen. It's a good team over there too.

Didn't matter. they scored 0 runs.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Didn't matter. they scored 0 runs.

Yea, no doubt. Just talking about that decision in isolation, I did not like it.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Bassitt vs Canning - need a big one tonight.

 

[LaP]

Ahh well 5 and 3 still good. Absolutely disgraceful performance from everyone today. Bullpen decisions continue to be moronic. Batting lineups moronic.

 

[Suntouchable13]

One adjustment I'd make tonight is move Springer up to 5th, Wagner to 6th, and Kirk to 7th. It killed me yesterday seeing Kirky strike out with runners on 2nd and 3rd leaving Springer on deck.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Positively wonderful baseball weather today.

 

[shaner8989]

More garbage from the top of the lineup. This is an absolute disgrace

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not sure why this game was allowed to start. The outfield looks like a pile of shit given the ball is throwing roostertails as it rolls so i can't imagine the infield is all that good.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Kirk stinks. He is not really a middle of the order bat, that's clear by now

 

[shaner8989]

Glad we committed to Kirk. Can’t hit can’t run zero power and is the most un athletic player on the planet.
