6/22 vS The Blue Jays

[TylerD]

Man this BJ’s team sucks a bag of dicks. Wow

 

How they still have fan support is beyond me.

 

Playoffs twice in 25 years lol.

[jung]

I know he just got a hit but so far Vlad Jr is not showing me that he can carry a bag a' balls for dad.

[OH FOY]

Chavis should have come off the bag.

[d-money]

Johnson needs to just throw strikes.

[TylerD]

Uh oh. Cue the comeback lol.

[d-money]

Johnson gives one back. We need another starter if eovaldi won’t be ready.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chavis should have come off the bag.

 

He is kinda learning on the job.

[OH FOY]

Wasn't Grichuck Drafted in front of Trout by the Angels?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm retired and I haven't had TJ surgery and I'm willing to work at minimum wage. I also struck out 15 batters in a Babe Ruth game in the early 60's. What's not to like?

[jung]

They might be OK with DJ if they have to use him. I am sure Manfred is disappointed by this but the number of breaking balls being thrown is going through the roof and there are now guys that throw breaker after breaker successfully and the hitters can't hit it. Then there is the oddball like Chavis that cannot miss them if the pitcher throws it for a strike.

[d-money]

Johnson trying hard to give this back.

[OH FOY]

Throw a figgin strike you Dummy.

come on man, can we wait till they hit the ball out of the infield?lol

[illinoisredsox]

Yeah those infield hits were roped.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

All right, Johnson!

[TylerD]

Johnson actually looks decent today. Granted it’s the jays. But still

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

you guys will give yourselves ulcers

[illinoisredsox]

come on man, can we wait till they hit the ball out of the infield?lol

 

He only looks at results. 3 balls that the outfielders bring back over the fence >>> 3 dribblers that travel 90 feet combined.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When Nunez gets a hit, the SOX are 45-0.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When Nunez gets a hit, the SOX are 45-0.

 

Just kidding. I have no idea what their record is when Nunez gets a hit. But I bet it's a winning record.

The idea behind the breaking pitch has always been the same....make it look enticing enough to swing but make it finish outside the strike zone. Does not matter which pitcher you want to talk about other than Greg Maddox, the idea IS NOT to throw it for a called strike. As a result if the hitters are not swinging, the pitcher can look pretty foolish. Then again, if the hitter swings at that crap, we see lots of Bugs Bunny swing and miss, weak s*** dribbling around the infield and blops.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

I hate the shift

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Xander looked safe to me

Well said. That's the main reason there so few good hitters and a ton of average or less hitters.

Waaaa waaaa. I am not near a tv right now.

To get 6 innings would be a plus. It helps to have a nice decent lead.

[jung]

That fly ball to CF is a blop in today's game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Between the Orioles and the Blue Jays, the birds of North America are not getting much respect. John Audobon would be pissed.

Those birds could be extinct due to the rotten play of both teams lol.

Looks like his day is done. I would give him the six innings. I think he could go one more possibly two. He looked really good in the fifth.
