Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v35) *ALCS GM 1* @ CLE | Fri, Oct 14 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Estrada vs Kluber

[Throw More Waffles]

so what about that strike?

Naquin pitch 1 - that curve is a ball called strike. But you won't remember this.

It feels like you're countering numerous bad calls against the jays for one ball call against the Indians.

Yes, I agree. Bad calls are happening both ways. But far more against the Jays the past few innings.

Is it just bad luck? Almost assuredly. Will it change? Almost assuredly.

But the Jays HAVE been playing against both the umps and the Indians the last few innings.

 

[Loosie]

RISP can sometimes be a good indicator, but not always. Combined these teams are 0-9 with RISP yet it's 2-0 Indians.

 

[Dough72]

did Martin just not notice Lindor was dead set on fighting off fastballs, like more than guys usually do against estrada, or was there some master plan there?

Estrada likes to throw a slightly dangerous looking high inside fastball to left handers. That exact moment seemed tailor made for it, with Lindor fouling off outside fastballs he probably puts an inside one in play. Weakly on the ground.

must be something I don't get

 

[deletethis]

Well Cleveland is doing their part in sparing the Jays' bullpen.

 

[Mitchy]

If Cecil comes in at any point in this series, I'm defecting and cheering for the Indians.

Umm, why?


He's been great since August.

do you have actual proof to back this up? cause im watching the same game as you. It's not worth arguing but its annoying coming into this thread and seeing excuses. Umps are not perfect but they're damn near close to it.

 

[Daisy Jane]

okay. please. just.. at least get one.
two obviously would be better, but at least get one . then we can get two in the ninth. let's go.

 

[The Nemesis]

Cecil was pretty good once he got back from his injury. He struggled in July, was pretty good in August, then was lights out in September/October.

But all people remember is the time where he sucked, therefore he's awful.

 

[Eyedea]

The Jays are not at the 2-18 levels of insanity that the Rangers were in game 2, and the Indians are also not as lucky as the 0-0 Jays in that game either.

 

[King Mapes]

If Cecil comes in at any point in this series, I'm defecting and cheering for the Indians.

So we shouldn't bring in one of our best relievers? Hug?

 

[The Kessel Run]

Estrada hasn't gotten that pitch all night.

 

[PG Canuck]

There's a start.

Atta boy JD

 

[SprDaVE]

Here we go.

 

[Revolt]

Good start JD.

 

[King Mapes]

Umm, why?


He's been great since August.

But what about April!?!?!?

Same as last year.

 

[Tonka]

Can we get a base hit with 0 outs...come on

 

[Mitchy]

Donny God.

Please bring him in now.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Another 2-strike hit. Great job by JD.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Donaldson is on.

If we get a RISP and it comes down to Martin I'm going to lose it.

 

[Loosie]

There we go...lead of single, now just a swing away from tying this game up.

 

[Rysto]

First leadoff man to get on. Come on, EE.

No double play please.

 

[Tonka]

Yay! Finally!

 

[Riellyfan04]

JD and Enca never seem to disappoint! BATS always getting K'd

 

[Cor]

Okay, let's ****ing go now


(Inb4 a GIDP)

 

[Loosie]

There goes the bat.
