Blue Jays GDT: (2017 v1.0) vs Bal| Sat, Apr 15 | 1pm ET/11am PT | Asher vs Estrada

[Forgotusername]

Well at least Stroman pitched good.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

1-7

 

[HellasLEAF]

Pretty much exactly like most predicted in offseason.

Good enough pitching, worrying lack of offence.

Check and check.

 

[Morgs]

Best soccer game I've ever seen. There was a whole 2 goals scored!!!

 

[Longshot]

"It's early."

Except, after the all star break last year this team scored the 4th fewest runs in the AL.

The sample size of this lineup being really bad is growing.

 

[Battle Lin]

a few more loses we'll be at our batting average

 

[BorntoLose]

ugh gonna be a loooong season. Even by baseball standards.

 

[Daisy Jane]

1-7

well.. that's not good.

Hitting coach?

And they got rid of their best hitter.

 

[Loosie]

And they got rid of their best hitter.

Who is hitting about as well as the rest of the Jays right now.

 

[Eyedea]

And they got rid of their best hitter.

No he was DHing this evening.

 

[Muston Atthews]

And they got rid of their best hitter.

and the guy they replaced him with is hitting better than him

 

[Longshot]

I'm really confused. Zeke bunted and made an out.

I thought bunting was the cure to all offensive woes?

I don't get it. I thought bunting was a guaranteed way to score a lot of runs?

 

[TF97]

Only when it's the big bats bunting. I understand your confusion.

 

[Longshot]

Only when it's the big bats bunting. I understand your confusion.

Okay, to be clear, bunting is only great offense if the big bat/homerun hitters are doing it?

 

[Longshot]

Not sure why any pitcher would give Travis a fastball. He is swinging at every low and away slider that is remotely close.

 

[Longshot]

And it continues.

Lead off double.

Three straight outs.

No run.

 

[TF97]

Correct. Now you got the hang of it!

 

[TootooTrain]

Liriano got past the first inning. Martin united with him once again was obviously the key.

 

[The Nemesis]

And they got rid of their best hitter.

Ummm.....

 

[Suntouchable13]

Wow. ******** call.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's such a bogus call. I get why it happened. I figured when it took so long they would be unable to tell for sure if he was on the base or not. Not conclusive.

it's still bogus.

I'm nearing the point of being done with replay in baseball. It's not like hockey where they can have a zillion cameras pointed at the net to review goals.

I'm tired of obvious, but not 100 million per cent clear, calls not being overturned because it's "inconclusive." Either get more and better angles or don't use the technology.

I wouldn't mind the firm line between "inconclusive = not overturned" and "conclusive = overturned" if they were consistent about it. But sometimes you get umps that get inconclusive review video and still end up overturning the call because they figure it's obvious or makes sense or whatever other reason they can come up with.
