4/21 vs Blue Jays

[d-money]

Need a shutout inning here. Have to keep this at 3 runs.

Eck has a short memory. Ryu, Toronto's starter yesterday, was throwing around 85 mph.

Jays were concerned that Ryu’s velocity ways down.

5 walks in 4 innings of work. This guy stinks.

Got the .170 hitting Tellez on a soft liner to RF, lol . I don't know the exit speed but it looked ripped pretty good

Yup. Not giving us a chance to come back.

Amazing to me that these Jays are hacking away at a guy that can't find the plate.

Nevermind

 

6 walks for Richards.

 

Not a great day. I want porcello back.

How much better off would the Jays have been if they just left the bat on their shoulders or even in the bat rack!

[vegasbob]

3-0 to 3-2 on 2 soft pitches, then throws by Semien's head for the walk when a low breaking ball would have whiffed him.

No! No! A thousand times NO.

[jung]

I am just constantly amazed at a home plate ump that is looking right down the black inside and misses the pitch

Baseball rules state a batter must have a bat when he's in the batter's box. Even if he is only 3 feet high.

[jung]

nice job getting out of that

[vegasbob]

Sawamura doesn't screw around. Should have had a called strike on the first pitch too

[d-money]

Need some runs in this inning. Creep closer.

[TylerD]

Two runners on!!!!! Dalbec. Bad error by Gurerro.

 

Let’s go!

Imagine Richards pitching to Eddie Gaedel.

[jung]

Gitchuk better bat .500 the way he plays OF.

[jung]

Blew it by him at 84 with the FB Eck? Isn't this guy's change 83! I would buy the hole in the bat excuse on that one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

84 mph fastball. That's Velveeta cheese.

[TylerD]

84 mph fastball. That's Velveeta cheese.

 

Think I can throw that lmao

 

Maybe not but still

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ki'ke!

[TylerD]

Oh man. We have life come on

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ted Williams wrote the greatest book on hitting and I wonder how many non-pitching major leaguers have read it. I always remembered from reading Ted's book how strongly the Splinter felt about using a lighter bat. Ted firmly believed in the velocity of the swing. I believe Ted employed a 31oz bat.

[d-money]

That sucked! Wanted that 3rd run. They need to pitch shutout baseball now.

[moonslav59]

Hope we don't look back to that chance that got away.

The most consistent thing about baseball is how inconsistent it is.
