Blue Jays GDT: Opening Day!

[phillipmike]

Dang. Solid to get 3 of 4 but a sweep was right there.

 

[MK78]

The pitching luck ran out. Still good to take 3/4 from the Red Sox at Fenway, but a sweep was at their grasp.

They gotta start hitting the ball over the fence.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Well 3-1 series. Thought the Manager did a good job..

We need to score more runs. plain and simple

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lord, get us the hell out of this shitty cold weather.

3 out of 4 is still great but blah this game's ending...

 

[aingefan]

Welp.
Take the 3-1.

 

[jetsforever]

Pretty bad outing by Sandlin

 

[Burnie97]

Ugh.... crap way to lose but good series overall.

Big guys haven't even got going yet

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Wasn't gonna get Hamilton at home anyway

Definitely had chances to win today, but oh well. Take the 3-1 and hopefully the bats wake up against shitty Orioles pitching

 

[MS]

3 of 4 is still pretty good but we got ump'ed pretty hard today. Frustrating.

 

[shaner8989]

The offense fails us again.
Sandin was putrid

 

[Vector]

Kind of figured this game was going to end that way. Fluharty, Barnes, and Rodriguez were the only guys left in the bullpen. Guessing they didn't want to exhaust the rest of the bullpen given they play again tomorrow.

 

[Moose Head]

Interesting strike zone today.

 

[trellaine201]

Blew it. Oh well still pretty good series.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Oh and the f*** that ump. Atrocious calls after the 7th inning, mostly against the Jays

Santander had two hard contacts today. I don’t think it’s far off

Santander had two hard contacts today. I don’t think it’s far off

He's getting BABIP'd like crazy. The only guys with worse BIP luck are Roden and Clement. But they're also being done in by excessive grounders (and weak contact) and fly balls respectively. Santander doesn't have an obvious "this is the thing that's killing him." when I look at his batted ball profile.

He seems a good shout to pull himself out of this funk.

 

[shaner8989]

Remember i said Giminez will be hitting .200…. Almost there

 

[Blitzkrug]

Santander is the guy i'm least worried about rn (not to say i'm panicking over Vladdy or anything) so that tracks.

he's hit a few piss missiles that don't find a landing. It could be the name Santander is cursed right now because his MLB card does the same damn thing for me right now. Guy will hit a 104 mph flyball that
somehow dies at the wall.

You tell me "well if he's not playing for you in game, pull him." and i counter with a) he's a switch hitter and i unashamedly simp for them and b) i'm a dirty homer.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Was it necessary to remove Clement? That really cost us.

 

[Burnie97]

Interesting strike zone today.

Agreed

 

[The Nemesis]

Interesting strike zone today.

It's so weird how casually some people accept that the zone is this vague, malleable thing. Could you imagine that in other sports?

Like in hockey, a puck that whizzed past the outside of the post gets called a goal because the ref decided that his goal extends a few inches outside in either direction.

 

[Schennanigans]

Santander is trash. Why did they sign this bum.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The scoring woes on are on Vladdy and Santander. These guys have to produce. Bo has produced, even though he also has 0 homers. But those guys have done very little so far. They have to heat up. No two ways about it.

Probably some missed calls, but because it’s misleading, they need to remove that artificial strike zone box.
