Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v25) Next: vs BOS| Sun, Sept 11| 1pmET/10amPT | Buchholz vs Sanchez

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Players meeting. Team offensive leaders in JD, EE, JB promptly have gone 1 for 11 combined.

 

[Longshot]

1-2 on Pedroia. That means he will hit a blooper for a double...

 

[Daisy Jane]

it's like the bats are constipated.

 

[Leaftors]

it's like the bats are constipated.

balls are being hit, just directly at the defence, nothing anyone can do about that

 

[Longshot]

I love the work Grilli has done, but it's games like this you can see why (not that I agree) they originally planned to move Sanchez to the pen.

 

[Bad News Benning]

What's with these guys in the middle of the order? Butbif the bullpen can't hold the lead all you're going to hear is crap about the pen. The big bats have been garbage for a while now. These are the guys that need to carry the team and they're carrying them alright...down the standings

they are going through a mini slump which just so happens to be at a bad time. More disappointed that other guys in the lineup aren't stepping up. Cant expect JD or EE to carry this team every game...you need other guys to get hot.

 

[Josh92]

Donaldson and EE have been coming up very small lately.

Their exit velocity has been very good they re just hitting liners at guys...more unlucky than anything

 

[Suntouchable13]

Good job by Travis!

That has nothing to do with why they were thinking about moving Sanchez to the pen.

 

[Longshot]

Good job by Travis!

No kidding. That came off the bat and I immediately thought: "Another fluke hit by Pedroia after he was down in the count."

 

[Eyedea]

Great K. Now the biggest out is up next, quite literally.

 

[Josh92]

I would intentionally walk ortiz here

I trust Grilli against righties but I think we have to be careful not to use him much against lefties. Id use a combo of Grilli and Cecil in the 8th inning based on the matchups.

I would intentionally walk ortiz here

That would be a terrible idea.

 

[PG Canuck]

Bad luck

 

[Gargyn]

Brutal, don't give the bosox outs

 

[Longshot]

If that was the Red Sox it would have hit the SS and bounced to the 2B, who would have made the easy out at first...

 

[Daisy Jane]

balls are being hit, just directly at the defence, nothing anyone can do about that

just needs to get through the shift and start hitting regular.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This is a scary at bat...the nerves

 

[Josh92]

That would be a terrible idea.

Really? Did you not just hear buck and pat say they might walk him here? Doesnt matter he got to 1st anyway...at least he didnt tie the game.

 

[Eyedea]

Good job getting out of it.

 

[PG Canuck]

Fire up the Grilli

 

[The Nemesis]

 

[TF97]

Nice bounce back inning from Grilli

 

[Eyedea]

Really? Did you not just hear buck and pat say they might walk hum here? Doesnt matter he got to 1st anyway...at least he didnt tie the game.

Don't intentionally put the tying run on base, especially when Mookie Betts is up to bat.

It's a golden rule that you gotta live by.
